any of you want a house in Cyrodiil?

raviour

personally i was hoping for housing in Cyro, i don't think it will cause lag or any advantage if they are in places far from keeps/castles/forts.

ZOS need to cater for us PvP roleplayers too, a hut near the lake near fort warden would be fine (with a fireplace ofc). what do you t-baggers think ?

Literally just said this last thursday:

"dont you wish you could make a keep an instanced homestead in cyrodiil?"

I think it would be awesome.

raviour

ye it would be amazing

Grimlok_S

Instanced keeps would make a sweet guildhall.

You'd have to wayshrine in though.

raviour

ooh ye i would take blackboot

Honestly, we should just go ahead and take this to the next level:

much like games like Dragon's Dogma or Tekken 5 - we should have UN-instanced PvP keeps as guild halls and they can be attacked and you could have NPC versions of your guildmates that defend the keep in addition to the generic guards.

It will never happen sadly, but we can dream. Sure, there are actual houses in Cyrodiil with locks. Totally abandoned, but not available for us in Cyrodiil. I wish we could have housing in Cyrodill. Cyrodiil is my home, where we could share our dreams together or burn them.

But if I had a home in Cyrodiil, I will give all my enemies access to my house in Cyrodiil, then again I may be speaking treachery here. Alas, I really want a house in Cyrodiil. Won't happen sadly.

raviour

it's possible but it might cause as much lag as the poor deer they removed and even more than mementos.

imagine porting to your house n have to restart game coz of endless load screen.

nah it is truly possible and would be amazing.

So over an hour long queue time for all campaigns, because being are decorating their playhouse.

Would be nice if they add some new player housing "arena" category where you can design your own battlegrounds, maybe add options for dueling with 1v1v1, 2v2, 2v2v2 3v3 etc

MaximillianDiE

Only if I can burn it to the ground and hear the lamentation of your women (or men)

This would be so easy to implement to existing Homestead properties. ZOS could fix clipping issues and easily add basic first person shooter match mechanics.

Going further, there could be special furniture items to implement respawn, spectator and ctf/c&h functions.

i have been asking for a hole in the ground for a long time.

Would be ace but only if I had writ boards, and drop offs nearby! Otherwise zero function.

I have a house in Cyro already. It's a cozy cabin in Cropsford where I live with my devout wife, Prefect Antias. RP game proper.

DaveMoeDee

Either you would have to queue to access it, or exiting it would not place you in Cyrodiil (meaning it isn't really in Cyrodiil).

Either of those make it a bad idea.

You would never be able to directly port to it because you can only port in Cyrodiil if you are by the proper teleporting device. Unless it isn't really in Cyrodiil and cannot be accessed from Cyrodiil.

Yeah, but that is slippery slope. Add some perks to owning (rather than just flipping) a keep, such as some dyes, a mount, or perhaps even crafting station that would produce unique sets, and you could end up being dangerously close to meaningful PvP and gameplay generally. Neither The Monetization Department nor WoT battlegrounds team would be amused.

Thanks @MaximillianDiE. I sometimes need a reminder about why I got into RPGs in the first place.

Homestead 2: If you build it, they will come...

Spearpoint

Would love to see 1 house within each of the alliances areas, where the player only could aquire the house in their own area, maybe after completing one or more quests related to Cyrodiil.

Shouldn't be near the centre of the map, but rather close to each alliances home keeps, with a nice view and a deck, like the Sleek Creek or similar. Also, the devs would need to make sure the houses can't be exploited as a way to fast-travel, so that players that don't want to buy the house are at a disadvantage compared to those who want.

I'm very pro this suggestion, as long as it's more like a "cosmetic" addition for role-playing, without any particular strategic addition

For example, the house can only be fast-traveled to via Transitus Shrine, and only if the nearest Keep are under your alliance's control - similar to all other places a player can teleport to within Cyrodiil. Of course it would be possible (though maybe dangeruos ) to go to your Cyrohome foot or by horse regardless of the status of the keeps.

As a final thought to prevent this addition from causing even more lag and loading time; since the houses are instanced, would it be possible that house itself is not in Cyrodiil physically speaking - only visually?

What I mean by this is though the house is visually seen on its own location - when a player first enters the house via the door or fast-traveling, the player is actually another place than Cyrodiil (maybe in limbo or something), even though the scenery is a static view of the surrounding area of the house. Just like all other houses.

PS: Just realized that if the house could only be entered if you're already in Cyrodiil, so teleporing to the house from anywhere in the world be not be possible - and this would be the right way to do it. If there is a queue to enter Cyrodiil, the player seeking to enter their Cyrohome would naturally need to wait in line with everybody else in order to get to their house.

Thus leads me to the question of whether or not players in their houses should count towards the total player count in Cyrodiil - and I think it shouldn't, at least not after 5 or 10 or 15 minutes. A quick pit-stop to your house should not prevent them from re-entering the battlefields

Once you enter your house, your "spot" in Cyrodiil will go to someone else after a certain amount of time, and in order to exit the door you have to wait till its your time. This might s*ck, but would be a part of the package If you found yourself in this queue, maybe the player could be presented with the choice of leaving Cyrodiil enterely, as the player simply wouldn't be in Cyrodiil anymore anyways, practically speaking. Then being teleported to last place they were before entering Cyrodiil.


Woah, this got long, but seems my imagination was caught up by this idea - as fond of the housing system as I is

Would love to hear what others think about the abovementioned ideas

Artim_X

I would love to own the Imperial City Waterfront District. It is the only part of the Imperial City that has yet to be added into the game (The Arcane University is used for battlegrounds).

Of course, I expect the sky to be dark and some areas to be a bit damaged due to the Planemeld. Also if this area ever became available for purchase I think it'd be cool to have some daedric titans flying around out of reach.

this is sick, and yes i want a house in cyro sign me up

technohic

I'd rather have a new pvp zone where guild halls could be built as keeps that are attachable causing enemies to have to rebuild material purchased with AP and we could have housing within that's instanced for guild members. Almost like cities from SWG. In fact, forget instance housing make it actual faction aligned cities and enable the justice system as originally intended there.

Knootewoot

I would love to have a house in Cyrodill.

There should be houses in the 3 cities/towns where DC can only live in Bruma and EP in their closest town and AD in Vlasterus.

Or maybe some scattered houses across the landscape.

gepe87

Yes! Bravil! Redesign it to have several houses from apartments to notables houses.

mikegundy

Grand Overlords should unlock the option to buy a homekeep styled home for ap
