Player Housing in Update 12 . Altmer-style house near Mathiisen and Dunmer-style house near Ebonhear
-
subtlezeroub17_ESO✭✭✭✭The dark elf house gives me life. It has such a grand appearance compared to the Altmer estate. While the Altmer Estate is nice and bright and pretty while having that stately charm that you'd expect from anything Altmer, the Dunmer estate just looks imposing and powerful yet possessing that sultry Dark-Elven elegance at the same time.
I must have it.Edited by subtlezeroub17_ESO on September 28, 2016 12:34PM2 -

✭✭The houses will be instanced(most likely).
Dozens of players will enter "your house" every minute(pass through the door/gate but you won't see them inside unless they are in group).
How is it special ?
No immersion at all

✭i bet these are going to cost a mint, and decorating them also. i hope they give a lot of customisation within the homes- and also a chance to store and show off armour sets like in skyrim.
i wonder though- will the housing system affect the banking system , as banks are used to store and transfer eveything- the big banks in mourn hold, storm haven, etc have become commercial and social hubs- where the best guild stores and everything converges. if people dont need to go to the bank to get their things- will those areas be as lively.0 -
Sunver✭✭✭I like these. They look great outside and I assume: also inside.
Few words about housing in general:
I know one game where houses weren't instanced and, if in crowded area or near nice grinding spot, they were enormously expensive(50-100 times good, one day hunting revenue). Also - houses in remote areas were never populated or sold for few coins.
In game like this, where there are 10-20 times more players I can't imagine non-instanced housing. But I can imagine instanced neighborhoods, and I'm strongly pro IN.When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!0 -

randolphbenoit✭✭✭✭I can understand cosmetic things like beds and chests of fancy quality be crown store items but I want know is housing open to all without need of crowns and subscription. Also will there be guild halls and what the requirements? 50 members or 1 million gold or ESO+ plus only.
Housing items I no issue be ESO+/crowns but getting the homes/halls should be open to all...the NeXus Guild (NA-DC-Crafters) contact @randolphbenoit - Currently Allies to Fairy Tail of Tamriel (Social) and Brave Kore (DC PvP). https://twitter.com/randolphbenoit

Instanced neighborhoods may be a good solution to the issue of others entering "your house"(1 player owns 1 house in each neighborhood).
But based on what I'm seeing, I don't think this will be the case.
They will simply implement it so it's like the Harborage, players are being seen entering but the instance itself is Solo.
I hope ZOS will implement a good solution for this.
I will hate to see hundreds of people entering my house but I can't see them inside, i.e not really my house.Edited by Universe on September 28, 2016 12:57PMSome videos I recorded for fun: Main character:

I think we've all been wondering whether places like the massive fortress outside Daggerfall is going to be player housing or guild housing!
I too want to find out more about the pricing structure. I don't mind paying in game gold for housing for myself, but if there is guild housing it would be great if people could donate gold or mats towards it.GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

moonio✭✭✭✭I just want somewhere to display my weapons..
..and a paddock for my horse, the cat and my fox can run around freely as they wish.
I guess some gardening could be good, I could grow some corn, peppers and melons.. plus a little cold frame for Frost Miriam..
Some chickens too would be nice, and a special magical well to top up my magica, but it's only active during certain star system alignments..
A dressing room for my clothes, then I could relieve my alt from the burden of carrying my wardrobe. plus little ornate glass jars for all my style materials and trait gems so they don't clog up the bank.. it would look nice

✭✭Have been giving thought to housing and think that I would like the option of having a ship / boat as a home.
May one of the large beautifully coloured / carved ones in Hew's Bane, or something similar. Be enough for me.3 -

They can't have millions of houses so they can have every player have their own house. I like this idea of instanced housing where multiple players can live. This worked perfect in games like Eq2 and Ryzom. Also BDO has same system and works great (but you can enter other player houses too if you want)
If we do it Vanguard or ArcheAge way, then there is a limit of lots and not every player can get a house and people will be sad,
Or the SWG way and houses littering and polluting the area's.
No, I think this will be great. Just wait and see.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."1 -
Balticthunder✭✭✭Pff not excited at all!
That Mathiisen house looks like all other Altmer cities - the picture No. 4 gave me almost the same look you can get in Marbruk looking down from stable to Fighter guild house. It's all existing stuff from game, same assets, nothing special, nothing new
It could be much better if we could buy a land and then build there whatever we like, like in Wildstar game.
But now it will be just another sameish looking instance only for you alone. Feels like cheep work to me and if they going to ask crowns for it

Resfeber✭✭✭Nothing new, no, but that's due to adhering to the racial styles in the buildings. I agree they could add some uniqueness using these same assets. Buuut I also don't expect go outside of Mathiisen and see a random Orc house or someone having built something out of place and avant garde.
I'm not fond of these particular estates either tbh, but we're getting a pretty neat variety in racial styles which will help. And hardy customization could make up for a lack of 'building from the ground up', which is a little unrealistic for a patch update. I'd be happy with that.
I can only cross my fingers that the house sizes show some variety. And maybe some not-house hideouts. (I'm with @Hallothiel for the house-boat.) Some people want 8 rooms for friends and to be creative as a homemaker. And some people want to decorate a simple place to crash between adventures. Resfeber (n.): the restless race of the traveler's heart before the journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together; a travel fever that can manifest as an illness.
