In-game gold? Furniture crafting?

Oh, to be pleasantly surprised. What a feeling!

psychotic13 · October 2016

If all is as it seems, and will be purchasable by in game gold and not crowns got to give Zenimax respect for that.

The only question I am really interested in at this point is "will housing be kept completely separate from the gambling boxes."

If not I may just be done.

My thoughts exactly. Of course Matt Firor is all "Oh, don't worry, this is all for in-game gold only!!!!" but we've already seen how they will say crap like that to make it all sound awesome, and then by the time they actually implement it in the game? Nope.

Besides, we've already seen housing items from crown-crates in the datamining threads and post, so clearly they are not separate even at this stage.

i want to live in a tent or a small house, really small house in a cave, something small just me and the woman.
the houses shown in video and all i have seen are too big, and obviously will be way too expensive for me.

Isn't the first option just an inn room? Saw it on some of the videos with people poking around them on the PTS.

Personally, not interested in houses or more cosmetic fluff, the social stuff for guilds and groups is cool but other than that is does not appeal to me, also feel like instead of focusing more on polish, bug fixing and more content, we wait until next year and get more cosmetic and vanity items...

Just for me personally it is "meh" in terms of interest, cool that they listen to plays about account wide for all characters but they need to throw account account wide for other things in the game too..but I am 100% sure a lot of "exclusive" and "timed sales" of the better cooler house items with be available for crowns only or through crown casino gambling crates....

I am interested in the crafting side, if done right that could be a huge boost to crafting, economy and other things, kinda happy even though I am not interested in housing that much I can still craft like crazy with my max crafter to help feed peoples housing addictions

What would of been cooler is if players could BUILD and CRAFT the actual houses piece by piece themselves through owning land and crafting the pieces and slowly building up their property.

How much do we think they're going to be? I'm going to start grinding for in game gold now - I want my estate in Mathiisen.

I have a feeling they will put Imperial / Daedric / Dro-m'Athra housing styles in the crown store casino gambling crates

I have to agree that bugs that have been in game are still unfixed. But the video showing the houses does bring a very nice sense of excitement. Fingers crossed for few bugs and fixes to come for past issues as well as great looking houses to store or characters and their loot.

i am sadly going to shatter some dreams
it was mentioned in video that houses are going to be in 3zsizes: small, medium, large.
Even large houses are not all that large in this video. -just like 2 story medium building
btw
small: -ultra small houses, like those pod bosmer tree houses, or argonian mud house
medium: -one story house, not to big either
large: two story house, should be medium sized inside

This means all that mansions and castles that all exploring players recorded -are either
a) crown store ONLY
b)maybe a guild houses ???

And one more reminder: it looks that "containers" like wardrobe or chest are going to be store exclusive option -this was datamined before, bui i cant find it right now

moonio · October 2016

Is the housing style locked to your race?

moonio · October 2016

Actually it cant be if it is account wide.... cool.. I love the altmer style housing... and clothing for that matter...

kevlarto_ESO · October 2016

I hope they add houses to where everyone can at least purchase a basic house with in game gold, and I hope they add drops in the world for at least basic decorations, I don't care if they put some items in the crown crates, or have high end housing items in the crown store, but I want to play the game and gain things for my house through game play, I refuse to play the store game.

After the way they did the so called "Barber Shop" I am concerned that housing will end up being a 100% crown store. Me and a lot of my friends are not liking the direction the game is going already, and if they keep limiting our choices and our game play, guess it will be time to move on.

Tyrion87 · October 2016

What I am most curious about is what will be the general utility of these houses? I mean what will we be able to do in/with them besides decorating and inviting friends. Will we be granted a chest that will expand our bank space? Or will we be able to display our sets on mannequins? Will there be all of the game's utilities like crafting stations, access to the bank/merchant so we could port to the house directly from anywhere to clean/organize our inventory? There are so many possibilities...

Will ESO work with PlayStation VR?

The game has been announced to run in full 4K on the PS4 Pro, so it's extremely possible that graphical requirements of the game easily meet the PSVR spec. But that's just me speculating!

Agreed. Most of us hate the gambling crates so I feel like they gave us a housing preview to pacify us, but there really isn't enough information to get me excited about it. I totally expect some housing items to be sold for crowns, and I think that is completely appropriate, but if they shove all the nice stuff in the crates instead of putting it in the store this is nothing to get excited over.

Also I know it was said houses will be purchaseable with gold, but is housing going to be base game or DLC/ESO+?

Interesting catch. Are castles and mansions going to be considered "houses" or not? I guess we'll find out eventually!

I expect them to sell some features for crowns in order to make money, and I think that's fair as long as they're in the store to purchase and not hidden in gambling crates.

In general I agree, although I'd like to craft at least some of those nice things too rather than buy everything with Crowns. (I'm at nine traits on everything and I want to get some use out of that!) But if I have to gamble for my embassy in Craglorn Rohais will just have to go without; I'll fluff it as 'its creation is still stuck in the bowels of the monster that is Aldmeri paperwork.'

They've already indicated we will be able to craft some items, so I'll be interested to see how that's going to work. I doubt it'll be a perk for nine trait crafters but it would be nice to get something out of that.

You could be on to something there. Comparing with what has been found already and recorded on UESP, there are three houses for each race, except Breton, Khajiit, and Dunmer, which each have four. It's quite likely those extra houses are three of the five datamined Crown Store houses, and they are most likely the Daggerfall Castle, the Ebonheart Manse, and the S'ren-ja Estate as the biggest ones. Size-wise, the Colovian Mansion near Arenthia and the Redguard Mansion at Stros M'Kai could also fall in that category, and that would make five, but there are not yet any alternative third houses in those styles.

Furthermore, except for the Colovian Imperial style, each of the races' smallest house sizes seem to be identifiable by the fact they don't have a walled garden.

Yes, they decided to make houses able top be bought with in game gold solely because of one server on one platform.

"Upgrade to bigger houses with in-game gold"

This is ridiculous. There needs to be a better way for PVPers to convert AP to gold if this is the case.

I wonder what the price point for these houses are and crafting furniture hopefully this will be a woodworking skill that would be cool.

I'm pretty sure that Redguard Mansion is featured in the video as "Redguard Large Home" at 5:27.

100% this. I'm fine with some things being in the store, but not in the crates. They really are like a black cloud hovering over any potentially awesome content update from this point forward.
