Happy Holidays!

"Homestead storage items". This sounds like recipe or most likely furniture drops, which IMHO depending on the drop rates, and were they drop from could well be a long additional grind (like the Buoyant Armiger motifs).

I really hope this is not the case

"....including at least one long-awaited feature that everyone who cares about their characters' appearance will love and the Homestead storage items I talked about earlier."

A vampire skin, maybe? And mannequins for our homes? It would be like dying and going to heaven. I don't care if it's blueprints we have to find and craft. I won't get my hopes up but I can dream.

Oh great, another dungeon DLC whose veteran difficulty is probably again so hard that only elite player can/want play it that are so poorly itemized that running them on normal is pretty useless. And they will most likely add motif drops later to allow elite players to rip-off crafters (like they did with SotH and HotR)

I am 99% sure it's transmogrification (armor style change). If it's not all my toons will detonate for 1 million Oblivion damage.



While I do like the sound of home storage and transmog, what about fixed? Apostle and Ebonshadow still don't register as known, so makes searching guild stores a PIA. Gamepad mode needs some serious fixes. If ZOS loves what we've done with housing, PUT MORE PLANS IN GAME. Seriously, please?

I really doubt dungeons in Q1. Their stated business plan is Base game enhancements (free content) in Q1, new chapter (ca$h only) in Q2, dungeon dlc (crowns or ESO+) in Q3, and adventure zone dlc (crowns or ESO+) in Q4.

Whilst that was stated, it was given alongside the caveat that it may not always be in that order. Q1 is definitely a dungeon DLC. .

Dungeons, transmog and storage are literally coming to PTS in January, according to the News. I even gave you a link. Just read the damn post. What is with people around here committed to being obtuse?

"We are going to add more to Homestead over time, and I'm happy to announce that home storage is coming to ESO in early 2018, giving you the ability to store inventory items in your home. You all have been asking for it ever since Homestead launched, and it's coming soon. We'll release more information about how the home storage system will work shortly after the first of the year."

Better start to save those crafting writs vouchers...

Oh and btw. I hope it won't be "ESO+ only"....

Sabbathius

we'll be spending some time adding more improvements and fixing any outstanding issues and bugs.

I want to believe this is true. Given that some "outstanding issues" like Cyrodiil problems are more than 3 1/2 years old and counting. And even some class abilities have been buggy for years without a fix that actually fixed the issue and did not create new issues in the process.

Would be fun if it is also open to looting for your visitors. Like basically any other storage item inside NPC houses

Coming from the company that thinks it's ok to charge 40-50$ worth of crowns EACH for a gimped banker and merchant assistant, I have absolutely no expectation from Zenimax to price the housing storage containers reasonably at all.

Considering the players are divided about the whole vampire thing, I highly doubt that’s it. That’s also specific to vampire characters only. They must be talking about transmog.

Livvy

Thank you for adding storage, so I have a place for all of the furnishings I can't place in my houses due to the item limits.

Oh Gawd, imagine the exploits, ensuing bans and “Imma innocent, ZoS!” posts.

It rubs me more than it should that it is again a nord themed dungeon pack. Probably they thought something like "yep, we designed all that fancy nord styled stuff, we have to make good use of them now.".

Hope mannequins are added. They would be the only reason to make me get interested on housing crafting.

I agree, but its also buying them time probably for the <Expansion> .
By putting the dungeon DLC first. The question is if it counts as the dungeon DLC, or if its the subpar QoL on which they tacked DLC dungeons to make more money$$$$ (4 dlcs not 3 per year) - and shut up the people that wouldve complained that only storage + transmog kinda sucked as a quaterly release. (Im one of those people)

So I'm more annoyed at them selling the dungeons (meaning for the most part, pugging them is impossible) and possibly having 2 releases be dungeons. (Q1: 'QOL' + Dungeon, Q2: Expansion, Q3: Dungeon, Q4:Zone)

Anacario

Has anyone noticed that the Dye Station UI changed in the HoTR update? It looks like it’s supposed to support categories other than dyes now. I think transmog functionality is gonna be done at dye stations.

OMFG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be voucher bought

Im sitting on like 12k vouchers on main account, 1.6k vouchers on second account and probably about 1k vouchers worth of master writs to do still

jaye63

I hope that as they add new housing items(recipes etc) that some of the older ones get an increased drop rate. Im a loot *** and dont pass many containers including stealing from them, and still have less than 1/4 of them. Gets discouraging when all you get are green ones that everyone has so you cant even guild store them.

I was going to say " Oh great another dungeon DLC whose veteran difficulty is just a joke "

Do you remember when players couldn't even pass the first boss when they launchedIC dungeons ?
Do you remember when players couldn't even pass the last boss from mazzatun and shadow of the hist when they launched Shadow of the hist dungeons ?
Now, do you know that a bunch of people did both Horn of the reach dungeons the first day ?

It's not a secret that Teso is becomming easier everysingle update ... thank to CP ... don't forgot that they don't miss an opportunity to nerf these dungeons.

This is actually very true though lol

"In addition, we surpassed 10 million total players in 2017, a huge milestone (and this number doesn't include beta or free trial players). We are very proud of this achievement, but we're also humbled by the scale of what we have built and the community that enjoys it. Thanks to everyone for being a part of ESO—we couldn't do it without you. "

Oh, yes, and I'm sure they alll active.

"Stay tuned for the PTS patch notes for updates on those and, obviously, keep your comments coming on the forums and elsewhere. We value your feedback and take it very seriously. "



I''ll believe you take my feedback seriously when you pull the plug on the sustain changes and give Templar it's major mending back.


Joking aside, I'm hoping for some good balance changes, and -itchin'- to see that customzation option they teasin'.

DONT LET ME DOWN GUYS.

emilyhyoyeon

really excited for transmog and even housing storage since I'd love more people involved in housing

ThinkerOfThings

What we have here is still just a small preview, we don't know what else they have planned!

Nemesis7884

the first of 3 dlc being a dungeon only means max 2 story dlcs - i hope we get at least the two and not one of it being a mp/battlegrounds mode, would be really sad to only get one story dlc

I assume "a full chapter" means like a large style dlc ala morrowind? Does that also mean one you have to buy as eso+ subscriber?

Acrolas

I think I speak for everyone who has played the Pocket Camp flower picking update.
THANK THE DIVINES that it isn't homestead gardens.
This coming from somebody who grinds crafting material to unwind.
THANK THE *** *** DIVINES that it isn't homestead gardens.

Seriously *** video game gardening it is the worst.

ForgeMother

I'm so excited about transmog! And housing storage is a huge plus (my home will finally be useful and not just nice to look at).
