Wayshrine for Notable Homes

Hydra9268

I do not regret dropping a lot of money for the Lakemire Xanmeer Manor. It's lovely and spacious. However, it is also quite far from the nearest wayshine. Could you please provide home wayshrines? I understand many homes sit next to or close to wayshrines, but for those - like the Lakemire Xanmeer Manor - having a wayshrine inside or just outside the front door would make things very convenient. In terms of cost, I'd be willing to spend 2500 crowns. I would also ask that if you do add, please add racial wayshrines. For example, I'd rather have wayshrines found in Murkmire. Thank you. 🙂

Sounds like a nice idea ^^ Am already glad we can decide now to port outside of our homes instead of having 2 loading screens.
The functional wayshrine idea was suggested a while ago already,let's hope they implement it one day.

Totally agree

A temp Fix, One can always port to a friend, guildmate, or group member to get close where one wants to go. A wayshrine will be nice to have...

One of the best addons in the game.

I'd even be happy with a wayshrine you can put in your house that would just take you to the nearest regular wayshrine.

I'd love to be able to purchase a Wayshrine. Especially if we get access to all the different styles and designs that are in game.

Sorry, legit question, but why do you need a wayshrine for your house when you can fast travel to a house already? Isn't it technically it's own free wayshrine?

Maybe to be able to "fast travel" away from your home with no cost?

Buy more homes. Simple answer. They just gave you the ability to use the outside of any home you own as a free wayshrine warp from ANYWHERE. No cost to jump from the middle of one place to a house and now without having to deal with two loading screens. That’s a benefit and convenience.

If you want to be able to just jump from anywhere to anywhere simply get more homes. Seems like a fair trade off for being too lazy to actually ride around even when major gallop is unlimited and free now.

Getting the very cheap apartments in the capital cities helps alleviate this issue. Especially now, with the travel outside the house option.

I know what both of you are doing. You don't want the devs spending time on something you feel is not essential as it would take away their time from things you think are more critical (EVERY game has a group of players who do this stuff). Well, you can relax because my request is neither more nor less important than other stuff. It's a customer request after having spent $100 on a manor. I'm asking Bethesda to please add wayshrines to the Crown store, so I have the same level of convenience as players with cheap houses and Inn rooms.

TBH players with inn rooms have advantage, cause most of those rooms are in very good locations (my favorite is in Auridon, literally next to Wayshrine) while many mansions are located far from civilisation (and wayshrines), which is kinda... pointless.

Why do you need great crib if you need to take trip everyday to get writs done?

If a wayshrine in home for whatever reason is a programming issue. It would be great if they could drop real world wayshrine in proximity outside the entry. That may not help every location. Psijic Villa is my most painful home to port away from. I typically will port to outside snugpod which I own. And gets you to outside grahtwood. That we can port outside the home has been a huge QOL enhancement.

DMuehlhausen

I don't care if we don't get one in the house, but porting to your home through the menu shouldn't set off the wayshrine cool down timer.

FriedEggSandwich

Yeah wayshrines for any home would be awesome. I also just bought xanmeer and love it (freaking aquarium!), but I'd like a wayshrine for Amaya Lake Lodge too, I could stick it on top of the out building, or Hunding's Palatial Palace. It's probably not a programming issue, but more likely a zos philosophy issue; they don't want to diminish the effectiveness of a gold-sink.

How a Wayshrine Essentially Works:

1) It serves as a safe respawn point. One that the game knows if a character is stuck somewhere by some fault of game mechanics can safely return to. Zone wayshrines act this way as well as the entrances of homes.

2) It serves as a free fast travel system across large swaths of land enabling faster play.

3) It serves as way to potentially fast change instances due to the need for players to gather.

Why You Can’t Have A Physical Wayshrine in your Home

1) Homes have limitations. Actual points where the number of items and their arrangements can break them. A physical one easily adds not only another memory calculation issue but can be broken.

2) Homes are small enough that you don’t need a Wayshrine in them. The entrance is fine as it is.

3) The remoteness of some homes, like your Lakemire Xanmeer, is actually attractive as a personal one-way Wayshrine to a remote location. It’s faster to get to the northern delve in Murkmire and the two treasure map locations from the Xanmeer than it is any of the other wayshrines. The upcoming Vvardenfell Daedric home serves as a warp for a middle of nowhere point on the north of the island. The Gold Coast Ayleid Ruins serves as a warp to the remote north.

4) You already have soooooo many other ways to jump around the map. Free jumps to friends and guild members. Free jumps from house to house. Free jumps from Wayshrine to Wayshrine. You spent $100 in this case knowing full well the disadvantage of location.

5) You get an inn room for free. Many of the other cheap ones cost like 6,000 gold. You’re telling me that you will drop $100 to get a house but 6k gold in-game is too much for free warps to every chapter capital as well as main zone areas?

Would be nice, but until then can't you just port "outside" to another location like Mournoth Keep or Black Isle Villa?

Mournhold Keep in Bankghorai has a wayshrine just outside the door. Its a classic home, but I frequently port from Psjic Villa to Mournhold outside and then go to wayshrine.

Similarly, I port to "outside" the Rimmen inn room, and then use the wayshrine from Rimmen town square to get where I wanted to go.

Wayshrines should be an integral part of homes, that's not even a question. I fully support OP's idea. In my opinion, it should not even be a monetized bonus because homes are a premium already as they are and wayshrines fix issues the game troubles us with. We should not pay for something the game has us suffer from in first place. My main point here are the obnoxious loading screens we are confronted with in this game. A simple thing like a home wayshrine would reduce those noticeably and therefore help us increase our playtime. We would not need to travel to friend/guildies and from their wayshrines to wherever we really want.

Wayshrines close to homes won't help a whole lot because you still have to leave and wait on the zone loading screen. Inn homes as spawns don't always help either - if you have inn homes like Alinor's where you spawn on top floor, have to walk down two chaircases and still have to wait on a loading screen when you leave the inn even if you spawn "outside" of the home. Auridon's inn works a lot better. You still spawn within the inn but there is no additional loading screen when you leave it. I don't know why Alinor cannot handle that the same way but it just adds to the argument that we need wayshrines for our homes to not have to think about this.

Will home wayshrines hit the gold sink of paid travels? Not so much. Even a cheap bought home for say 100K gold equals 1,350 direct travels anywhere (with CP reduced travel cost). A 1 million medium home/mansion equals 13,500 travels and a lot of players buy more than one home for various reasons so homes by themselves are way better gold sinks than travels are. Last but not least a home's wayshrine just cuts off the cost of travel away from your home while all other travels within Tamriel stay as they are.

And while we are at it, please let us access our guild traders from our home's bankers and let us repair our gear from our home's merchants. I don't understand why it is that hard to add such simple quality of life upgrades that are in such high demand for literally years by now.
