Video: Glenumbra Housing-Castle Invasion PTS

Flak · July 2016

Hey guys,
I saw the video from @HeroOfNone yesterday and couldn't resist to try getting in that huge castle yard. It's by far the biggest "player-house" that is implemented yet and from what I've seen in the yard i'd say it's more like a guildhall. You'll be able to buy this castle once the Vvardenfell DLC is going live. Orginally I just wanted to show that but climbing around the peninsula in Glenumbra was alot of fun and I found a little easteregg, so I left it in the video.
No speedhacks used, I speeded up the video 2x and on some parts 4x, would have been too long otherwise.

Yep, but you can't use them^^

I like your climbing technique - learnt something from this video - and I might want to become a werwolf now as well. Awesome how you avoided to get slaughtered by slaughterfish - risky but you made it.

ParaNostram · July 2016

Huh, never knew of that thing. Curious little discovery.

imnotanother · July 2016

Appreciate the video, I am looking forward to seeing this live, when the housing is released.

Well they just put it there with a bunch of other house all around the map. You'll be able to buy and customize them once the Vardenfell DLC goes live.

But I guess the price on this one should be around 10m gold.. just a guess ofc.

Saturn · July 2016

Awesome

ParaNostram · July 2016

I do hope the Vvardenfell DLC is good. It's going to be the last game update I'm waiting for ZOS to get their act together.

@Flak
How do you know about the Vvardenfell DLC? Is that a datamining or something? Do you have a link to share

?

What would likely be the benefit of such a costly player house (other than RP)?

ParaNostram · July 2016

They've been working on it for some time. I hope it's large, polished, and makes up for the subpar content lately.

Utility.

Train your horse there, do all your crafting, pick up/drop off writs, practice dummy, trophy collection, guild meetings, etc

Now the real questions here:

- Is it going to be permanent and instanced?
- Is it going to be temporary/rented and instanced?
- Is it going to be permanent and non-instanced?
- Is it going to be temporary/rented and non-instanced?
- Are any available in Cyrodill?
- Are they just cosmetic or they will have specific buffs or any other pratical use.

I would would be great if they could give us a bigger glimpse about housing.

Wait until Update 11 is launched. We will hear more about this and One Tamriel

Sure. tamrielfoundry.com/2016/05/datamining-vvardenfell/

There's little to no information about how housing will work and they guard these houses with a million invisible walls, so I guess they don't want us to know more

NewBlacksmurf · July 2016

Sweet so hopefully this is going to be "housing" like DAoC where it's off the existing path of current content.

That castle/town has me excited about some in-game goals to work for. I need to start saving towards 1 mil gold or so I assume.

I have to assume it's going to work off guild size too for guild housing options and will hopefully off-set guild trader donations

Cazzy · July 2016

Gave you a like and a comment! Who were those people on the cliff? xD

Trublz · July 2016

Y'all really think there will be a gold purchase option?? I hope so but my suspicions are high. And 10mil seems appropriate, I could even see twice that. Gold is so easy to earn in game

I wonder if it may need something more useful for non-RP players, like extra storage capacity for bound items, perhaps something like a garden with alchemy nodes, etc., or extra friend list slots / guild slots.

I really wish they give us crafting station and something to take and hand-in writs. That would be awesome.

Hmm... Insightful/agree/awesome... But no dumb/disagree/worthless... /sigh oh well.

Great video BTW!! Keep it up!

FooWasHere · July 2016

Damn, one minute in and the parkour performance had me forgetting the house.

Great job, and good fun watching.

Well you might find it strange, but some people like me enjoy to find paths that lead behind the boundaries of the intended map although it doesn't reward you with anything in the game. But that doesn't make it pointless.

Thx to everyone else for the kind words

I personally don't find boundary busting video game parkour interesting. However, I'm aware that there are people that enjoy doing it, and they occasionally find things that point towards future developments in the game that does interest me. Happily, Flak went to the trouble of describing what he found in the body of his post, so I didn't need to watch the video. In fact, Flak even pointed out in his post that the video played in fast-forward to keep it form being boringly long. This helpful information allowed me to make the informed decision to not watch the video myself while still obtaining the interesting nugget of information about possible player housing.

Now we come to your post. You had access to all the information I did, and you clearly don't care for such non-traditional exploration. Yet you still apparently watched the video and apparently hated every second of its four minutes. You then went on to take the time to let everyone on the forums know how pointless it all was. The mind boggles at what thought process led you to this course of action. I would ask for an explanation, but I suspect that it would probably be a pointless waste of time (possibly about 4 minutes).

I hope like hell that's not the case.

We don't need Garrisons in ESO.

Looks like a little fort where all your crafting needs may be met... Now hopefully there is a giant treasury where I can store my Cheese Wheels!
