ZOS, please add special option to prevent Visitors from activating "Lighting" furniture items

Scraelos

People who grant access to their houses for wide auditory often have problems with trolls who turn off light.
I suggest ZOS to add some option to forbid interraction with "Lighting" furniture.
Or you can add extended "Visitor" role to allow such visitors lighting items interraction. You can call this role "Good neighbour" or whatever you like.

This is an issue? Turn it back on.

After all, they were likely being polite, or echoing IRL politeness to turn off the lights if not using.

However I totally could get behind a "note" for visitors

Easy to implement and very much needed after almost a year of housing. Do it, Zen.

This has been requested a lot since the launch of Homestead as there are a number of people who like to troll and turn every light off in someone's home when they're offline.

AGA! Some houses have 100-150 lightning items. Sometimes some visitors have a "fun" to turn it off. And it totally NOT fun to turn it on back!

Not a problem if you have one or two in small home. Or if you placed them just randomly and it doesn't matter.
I have big house, opened to all my guilds, friends and some more people who wanted to see luxury furniture (each weekend I place it specially for that). I'd like not to close it.
But after somebody decided it would be fun to switch light - each time I should check each lamp and candle, more than 50 items, and turn on what should be turned on and turn down what should be not (some things are just decorative). Because with wrong light is looks absolutely different and much worse.
I'm ok with switching one or two lights - somebody played with it, checked how it looks with or without, forgot to return as it was... that's normal. But sometimes I find most part of lights switched. That's not.

I have over 180 lights. No thanks. I've just blocked all but a few trusted visitors from my house until this is addressed. (I've been waiting a long time... lol)

Oh gods YES. This NEEDS to happen. MAKE IT SO ZOS.

It should be tied to decorating permissions.

Serious though, it's usually the Argonians, should be a rule to stop them from sitting in your chairs as well, leaving their scales all over the place.

I think your Argonian friends need to see a healer about their scales if they are falling out all over the place!

I also would love a way to prevent visitors from interacting with lights or special furnishings that have two settings. People break the sword from Alik'r, undesecrate corpses, assemble the Veloth Reliquary...etc. We place the items in the setting we want for our house and like it left that way.

I've never had anyone turn off all my lights but several of my guild mates have and it causes a lot of drama cause we can't tell who visited and who turned them all off so as to just ban that one troll.

If you can't make a setting to prevent it, maybe we could get a visitor listing?

AboKor

Is there only issue with Argonians?!! What about sneeky Khajiits who climb onto the bed in their shoes and also leave their fur everywhere!
...And Nords lay their feet on the table. In dirty boots!
...And Orcs and strive to pee in your garden!
But the main issue - every one of them TURN OFF MY LIGHT!!!

Scraelos

Todaty I had to forbid access to my house for everyone except special housing guild, because some troll turned all lights off.

Marichi

I want also to be open for visit with everyone, but it is not fun everytime turning-on all my dream-shards and other lights. I m glad for every guest, but not all of them can keep his hands calm.

Irfind

Jep its extreme annoying when some trolls turn off all lights in our Guildhouse

yes, just some easy click, "allow/forbid interactions with furniture" would be nice!

Armatesz

I would visit some of my friends homes and would turn lights back on >.> but only after hearing from them complaining about others turning them off. A sort of fun hobby to turn them on... till friend sees me turning back on the lights and thanks for the help. But yeah I do agree that we do need some ability to make certain items not able to be interacted with by others or limiting interaction with certain objects and light sources. Keep crafting stations and the like separate.

SSlarg

its happened to me a few times, I just turn 'em back on.

emilyhyoyeon

I'm not someone who has this problem (luckily no one messes with my lights and I don't have many in my main house to begin with) but I think it would be a good option. I think there should be 2 main options for it:
1-all visitors have light rights by default
2-no visitors have light rights by default

and the homeowner can switch the rights individually where necessary. I also think something similar should be added to visitors in general, for example:
1-all friends are allowed visitors by default
2-no friends are allowed visitors by default

and visitor rights can be individually checked on or off. I for example would like my house to be open by default to all new friends, instead of not

Or extra tab that shows who visited the house, with a small counter with interactions used.

Doesn't need list everything it does, just there click amounts. If you got 90 lights, and everyday someone has about 90 uses you could narrow them out and add them to no visit list.

Plus it would be nice to see who stops by. (and can return favor)

manavortex

I would love to see who was interacting with items inside my house, so that I could ban all that is good and holy out of them and make sure that none of my add-ons is ever working again for anyone who thought it would be funny to troll me that way.

Some people just curious about how your interractible items work, so they turn them off and on. It's a bad idea to blacklist your friends who touched your lights but returned them to initial state.

Sera67

If there turning them back on, thats different story, If you see player name bob999 has gone to your house everyday with 90 clicks. And sara99 with 90 clicks... you can do some sherlock work and figure it out.

Adult thing to do would be "hey, bob.... stop turning off my lights"

And if they reply sorry, and wont happen again.. cool.

Granted, sure some people would just prevent the visit rights, but most people who get banned ask why. Plus if next day your lights are still off... you made a goof. lol.

Yeah I tend to go back to my friends homes and turn their lights back on. But I clarify with them with what I do.

I can confirm that we argonians enjoy to touch the sparkly stuff, We also adore to sit on every flat surface, but I have yet to see an eggbro leave his scales behind

I'm 100% not trying to revive this thread because I think it's an important issue, nope, would never do something like that.

The issue is that larger homes tend to have several hundred lights, it takes a lot of time to turn them back on. I have Gardner House open to my guilds, so people can warp to turn in Master Writs. There are 75 lights, that someone turns off every time they visit. I'm trying to figure out who it is so I can ban them.

OfTheEight

Let's keep this simple, just include a check box beside the permission setting to give "Light Access"

method__01

i have blocked anyone visiting till its fixed

Waffennacht

How else are you supposed to get the achievement?

OfTheEight

ZOS, how about some feedback on this matter, getting trolled every time I login to find all my lights turn off has lead me to turning off all access to my home. This is an easy fix as you can change the permissions from visitor to decorators.

I'm going to give ZOS until the new year, after which I'm going to propose the following to all players of ESO, stop buying anything to do with housing until we get some of these simple fixes. As a game developer your supposed to provide a troll free environment and these has been a reported issue for sometime. So please respond, let us know good or bad if this is even something on the development radar for issues to fix.
