Pantherfang Chapel entry

Nissowolf

so, i discovered the pantherfang chapel, the new house for player (which is a god damn castle actually), and i loved it esthetically, but i would like to adress a demand to zos' team. Is it possible to use the harrow which blocks the main gate as the entry of the house, instead of the underground of the chapel ? It is similar to what many people criticized on Hakkvild's castle. If we enter by the secret entrance, it's not a secret entrance anymore. Is it possible to change the location of the castle (i know it's probably a big work, sorry), or add a structure, like a bridge maybe, to create a more "official" entrance ? And give the possibility to go out of the castle by both entrance ? Secret and official ?

I love this house, and i know you worked hard on it, it's something great you added that will please many roleplayers i'm sure, but not all of us want to infiltrate everycastle we see !

Agreed. So much this. I am sick and tired of entering houses through "secret" tunnels where I have to walk forever before I get to the actual house.

EduardoMagnificent

I completely agree! I’m not buying a house to enter it through the basement like a thief. I am the owner of the house, not a burglar. Why can't players decide for themselves where the entrance to their houses will be? Just give me the Wayshrine, which will be the entrance to MY home, and I myself will place it wherever I see fit. Why do ZOS only think about the quantity of goods sold, but not about its quality?

FluffWit

From what I've seen this place is waaaaay to good for me to pass on. But I agree, I'd much rather enter at the main door.

Of course theres a simple solution we've been asking for for years. Give us something we can place on the ground to change the entry points of our homes.

MaisonNaevius

I agree .. however we will be in the Nibenay Valley, no in the Blackwood .. This is one reason that prompts me to ask myself why build houses within the region border limits?

Based on this principle, I would expect Linchal or Pantherfang to be visible in regions on the other side of their respective locations.

It's a beautiful Castle, but I would rather we enter through the courtyard than the basement. In front of the door that we can not use is beautiful stone bridge. It's almost seems that their intent was to use that as an entrance then changed their minds. I'm just shooting this out of my @ss and have no Idea what the developers intent for this house is, but that entrance would be perfect.

NoxiousBlight

Agree 100%. I want to enter through the entrance. Not some crypt passageway.

Ratzkifal

That entrance leads to a zone that is not in the game yet. We can only hope that when that zone gets added, the gate will be open and connect those zones.

LaughingGremlin

Is that zone Nibenay Valley? Will that zone be available in a future DLC? They are a lot of questions that we don't have answers to. What @Ratzkifal says makes sense but I don't think they will open that door if that DLC does come out. But I could be wrong, I've been wrong before and will be wrong again.

Will this home will come out with the Blackwood expansion? Bethesda could wait for the new DLC zone to release this home and that entrance will lead to the new zone.

MaisonNaevius

This house can be linked to two regions .. The entrance through the crypts with Blackwood, and the main entrance with Nibenay Valley.

But I doubt that Nibenay Valley will arrive this year despite Bravil's isolation from the rest including Mir Corrup who would then be the main city.

For Pantherfang Chapel main gate, it will be necessary to wait for a Chapter in the Nibenay Valley (the size of the area being that of a Chapter).
Nothing to see but the radically isolated little piece of Bravil could serve as a "bridge" to the Deadlands.

Most people port in yes. But 1) you port into the entrance so this still applies since you port into the docks below instead of the "main entrance" and 2) some of the people who port in still like to walk out.

I agree that it'd be nice to be able to walk in/out from the main gate, and that's also a nicer place to port into. I do want to say that I don't consider the dock to be a "secret entrance" though, it's big and visible from the outside and leads through a clear stairwell and giant door in the chapel. It's the boat entrance, no more no less.

How about adding a special collectible furnishing that allows you to designate a port-in spot?
If it's present it overrides the default spot, that would solve this issue. And give people more creative freedom when utilizing a house in an unconventional way.

NSatin

Please, please change the entrance. This would be an instant buy for me if not for the entrance; It just doesn't make sense, and I don't even role play.

Nissowolf

@ZOS_GinaBruno please, can you say us if this request is known of the dev ?

MaisonNaevius

No. I prefer to say no because I think this house will have enormous potential.

It will allow us to connect Blackwood and Nibenay. As if we could access it from two regions.

The crypt for the entrance from Leyawiin / Gideon. And the main entrance to go to Mir Corrup. We'll just have to be patient. Why would they sacrifice the main entrance to another region?

Nissowolf

They never talked about the Nibenay, it's highly likely to have the Q4 in the Deadland. IF the Nibenay is coming, it's going to be in more than a year. I don't see any point in waiting that long just to get a roleplay intrance for a house that's in the game for more than a year.

SimonThesis

Definitely the entrance is the major downside to the house!

MaisonNaevius

When did I say that the Nibenay would be in Q4?
The Nibenay will arrive in 3 to 4 years. Excluding the area with Bravil, it will be a Q4 DLC that will possibly follow a Colovia Chapter Q2.

All I can think of for this house is that it will take a few years for the main entrance to open.
We will be happy to have a house allowing access to Bois Noir but also to Nibenay.

And then it's not a question of roleplay. But of logic. And if it materializes, it would then be a house with access to two regions, that's not nothing and that would be fantastic.

LaughingGremlin

Has Bethesda ever made a big change to a home once it been published? My feeling is once Pantherfang Chapel comes out and the door is closed off, it will stay closed. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see them changing the house once they it put up for sale.

SilentFox22

I wish the boat at the current main entrance was removeable. It sticks out of my cobbling and hits the red zone of the entry where you cannot place any kind of furnishing.
