Player housing idea

Cormore · August 2015

Hey guys so this is my idea of player housing in TESO and that would be to make it into a skyrim/SWTOR type of housing in it. I know a few weeks ago someone (i forget who) threw it out there in eso live so this is how i see it.

House spots: As we all know there are no area in where to put houses in the PVE area. So i think we should have like an island where we can build it and get it up. Now when i say island im talking like an island where the mages place is at or something close to that. Now in SWTOR they have hosing spots to certain types of environments you can choose to live from.

Crafting house: Each house should be craft able like they're in Skyrim to the point where is feels like we made it all ourselves. That being said with people being able to craft their own house each one should be different. When building the could you will need logs, nails, cloth/leather and more. Being able to craft these things will also open up a new branch to sell these things in guild stores. Now im not so sure about traits for housing really but maybe there can be a housing trait everyone has to get in order to craft the logs etc. Being able to craft the house is one thing but being able to craft the furniture in the house is another thing. We ALL want the mannequins in the house where we can show off our armor and just to look awesome.
Other housing items: This is just another side thing that can happen. Make some stables to put two or three of the mounts we have to show. Also a home forge, leather worker, woodworking station etc.

So yeah that's how i see how this can be created and such. I would have added pictures but im lazy so yeah thought i would throw that out there.

I love it and would spend a ton of time working on this personally just as i did in skyrim.

Hey, lets just ask for Farms from WoW?)))

If we do ask for farms then it could ruin the economy ingame

kamohs212eb17_ESO · August 2015

Economy was ruined since very beginning when there was a lot of botters and duppers. They made millions and millions of gold from nothing (and since March many "traders" (traded bottered resources, duplicated books, top items and many more) had like 50-60++ millions, dunno how about now), and, as i know, there wasnt wipe of server. noone was punished, nothing happend. And all of that economy-ruining stuff is still here.

Don't know why, but when talking about housing and such i often think about Runescape.
Add a portal/ Teleport location to cities, which would allow a player to enter their own housing spot.
Then, as you mentioned, work with a skyrim style house creation tool.

Or make a zoning houses in cities, like it was with a WoW farm or with DC Universe hideouts or tons of other games.

It was pre-builded farm which was changing based on reated quests progression. Like abandoned hut in beginning and normal house when you're respected farmer. Farm is placed in open world, not "in the warp/nowhere/another dimension", but in zoning area. So you're going in your own farm and everyone else going same direction with you, but they going in their own farms. You know, zoning. Like we have it in some quests. People stand in same place in same time, but for one of them there is a battle and for other one is peace and quiet street.

We even could grow Provision stuff there. Like grow your own tomatoes, dont search every bucket in whole town. Or make there a mine with few ore deposites with resp timer about 30 mins. I dunno, many ways possible.

Some nice ideas, I think with housing it's almost always good to have more options/functionality, almost. Personally, I'd like to see Mannequin Furniture available with any housing adding to the game, so we can hang suits of armour/costumes etc. etc. Just like you can in EQ2, it works wonderfully there.
