Are You Buying Grand Topal Hideaway?

Hazethemadman✭✭✭No, because...Because these prices are from another planet.
I buy vanity items and whatnot in games all the time, but these prices are the most outrageous things I have ever seen in my 12 years of gaming.Edited by Hazethemadman on April 26, 2017 3:45PMSamael- VR16 Magicka Dragonknight

Darkestnght✭✭✭✭No, because...First of all I have no use for it.
Secondly, I am caught up in the grind anyway so I don't have time for another aspect of ESO.Xbox NA - CP1300+

lunawisp✭✭✭No, because...I already have a home which I don't visit that often because there's so little to actually do there apart from laze about on a tiny beach. And, based on the other homes, the price for that island is likely to be horrendous.lunawisp was my Peacebringer in City of Heroes - a game sadly consigned to history.

Jaeysa✭✭✭✭✭Maybe, because...
If you spend money on DLCs/ESO+ to get the DLCs, you've spent additional money for content. Though the Grand Hideaway is pretty insanely priced(It'll take a -lot- to get me to buy it from the store)jakeedmundson wrote: »jakeedmundson wrote: »Because I didn't buy an elder scrolls game to play "Medieval Sims".
It's insane to me how much money people are willing to spend for something like this... literally 0 functionality.
It's fun - to be fair, trials and campaigns don't have any real function either other than to entertain people. You spend your money on your things, I'll spend mine on frippery.
That's actual game content...It's built into the original idea of the game. i didn't pay anything besides the base game purchase for that. Housing was an after-thought to make money by doing very little work. I never said "Don't spend your money on....". So go right ahead... pay 4 times the cost of the base game to have an in game ESO house party or whatever you wanna do.
Also... you could go into ANY home in the game and claim it's yours. That home and the home you pay real money to obtain... have the same functions. (beside deciding on where to place the same exact decorations that already exist in the npc homes)
Regarding claiming any home as mine - as an RPer, it's different for a couple reasons.
1. It's really nice to be able to say 'this is what it looks like exactly'.
2. Zoning. I don't have to worry about trolls or griefers.
3. With furnishings you can substantially change a house into whatever you want. One gal I know turned a house/courtyard to a cave system that was a lot like Ungoro Crater. You can't find that in game.

playsforfun✭✭✭✭No, because...if it came out when housing came out i would've brought this just purely on hype but i was rather disappointed with the housing system when it was released and I've lost interest in the system completely now.7 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because......it may be the only island I ever own. I have two acres in Hawaii, but not the whole island!"Get off my lawn!"2 -
Majeure✭✭✭✭No, because...Sure it may be bigger than the other Manor class homes, but I'm guessing the same constrictions apply which I'm already running into with the Daggerfall Overlook, so the Grand Topal Hideaway would be too empty for its size, plus it doesn't offer anything new to housing. I'm happy with my manor.2 -
F7sus4✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, because...I own Mathiisen Manor and I don't give a damn about the island that I don't even like.0 -
lygerseye✭✭✭✭✭No, because...I won't have saved up enough Crowns from my ESO+ subscription in time as ZOS is making this a limited time purchase. Yes, I could have just purchased more Crowns, but I have a budget I like to stick to, and this just doesn't fit into that budget.0 -

Well...the last MMO I played has a white wig that costs ~$1000.
So yeah, I've found the prices pretty reasonable. Not that I own any of the houses but still.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I wanted to like the Topal Hideaway. I really do. But, I go and preview it and think it just won't work for me. I will look at it again and decide this weekend.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Asian MMOs tend to do that. Same as pricing a mobile game (so long it's not free, it's the devs being greedy). Because it has always been that way nothing needs to be justified.Hazethemadman wrote: »Because these prices are from another planet.

No, because...I have free Hideout and free furnishings with it in Path of Exile and can't even be bothered with them. The idea itself needs to be based on it's usefulness to the player, not just the aesthetics, especially so when hard earned gold or globally recognized currencies are used to purchase.
Also, would it kill anyone to add the housing cost in the menu, so we don't have to load so many screens for payment options? Took me quite a long time just to see all of the housing available, in order to determine that not even the free inn rooms are of use >_< But the cave does look phenomenal in comparison to all others so far.
Who knows, maybe with some improvements to business practices, in time I'll come around to getting another year of subscription and possibly purchase the Morrowind DLC, in hopes of getting a Telvanni 'Shroom house.Edited by Jollygoodusername on April 26, 2017 5:42PM0 -

So why does it surprise you that other people in a massive-multiplayer RPG have a different approach?
I rather like playing "Medieval Sims" in ESO, and have no interest in vet content or PvP. Why shouldn't ZOS provide things I like?4
