What I really want to know is if you could decorate your house with items you have stolen @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

That would be so awesome. I'd have to re-steal things.

Sigh... @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Why never any prices? It's not like you don't already know what you're going to charge. With the furor over the Mythic Ambrosia which has been made so difficult to acquire in game, "forcing" players to by the CS versions of the potions (XP scrolls), many of us are wondering if the houses and everything that goes with them are going to be so expensive in in-game gold that players will be "forced" to buy them via the crown store if they really want them.

Also, maybe I missed it but I can't believe it wasn't stated in the article... is furniture actually going to be USEABLE now? And, if so, will that translate to furniture out in the world also????

Mythic ambrosia prices have already dropped to 40k-60k a pop, rarity directly translates to price for these items, they do have to consider the richer players when making things, sure I've not pulled many Dusts myself but the price is quite affordable.

Also Exp items are not required by any means so no one has forced your to do anything, Enlightenment Exp ensures the champ ranks will come.

Personally I'm really hoping for some rare pieces so there is something worth buying in the guild auctions, drop 500k on a extremely exclusive "monster boss" bed, thems be my hopes

So after reading about Homestead. Am I correct in understanding that house is 100% cosemetic and offers zero benefits to actual gameplay?

Like costumes, polymorphs, style motifs, mounts, and pets

unless you consider a "cheap utility cluster" a 1 room all crafting location you can map warp to for free

Also map warping there for free could be utility in its own right, there is one very close to a wayshrine in Reaper's March, so thats a time-saving feature.

I do all my writs in Craglorn where all stations are seconds away and I can turn them in right there too.

Will these Target Dummy be able to fight back, it would be weird to be killed by your Target Dummy

Ha! That would be embarrassing, especially if you had guests!
Seriously, though, this feature and the extension of crafting into this realm is very exciting.

I would hope that the skeletons have the same type of capabilities that guards do in the Justice system, meaning not that they would be invulnerable like the guards, but that they would have a wide range of combat skills they would use that would test the player's mettle. It would be awesome if the player could manipulate some settings on the skeletons, such as health, magicka, or stamina levels. I would love to see it replicate the experience of a duel, as much as that is possible with an NPC.

Later down the road, there will also be a few special properties that are exclusive to the Crown Store, including a luxurious island retreat.

What about something exclusive to ESO+ members? I think it's time that they are also shown some appreciation.

According to this article:

There is no upkeep or rent on a home – once you purchase it, you will always have access to it. Being an ESO+ member doubles the number of furnishings and other items you can place in your home, but like the crafting bag, if your sub lapses those items stay, you just can’t edit your home until you get back to the item cap.

Kinda off topic, but what furor over Mythic (Psjiic?)Ambrosia? Perfect Roe drop still seems to be around 1% for me. I haven't seen threads about this.
Got it, must have missed the Patch Notes for Mythic version .
I do agree it's frustrating that no prices are listed for housing. Maybe we will learn more in the next 8-10 weeks. Sure hope this is revealed before PTS release.

As a crafter, I'm excited by upcoming furniture crafting, but at the same time think equipment crafting needs more attention in the form of crafted sets equal to all the new dropped sets (this was stated as a basic premise of the crafting system in pre-game hype), as well as options to make changes to existing crafted sets, like change them to a different style (otherwise, what's the point of continuously introducing new motifs in a game world where gold tempers are so expensive).

I also agree it's a mistake to introduce housing without also incorporating storage in them. It seems like a not so subtle way to force player to subscribe for craft bag or forever be forced to play an inventory game instead of questing and adventuring.

Finally, for those who have experience with other MMOs (this is my first), any ideas what to expect on cost of buying houses?

new land to explore in this update?

Any of these 40 options located in Cyrodiil?

Not based on where they have added them so far. Locations here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Player_Housing

Here's an immersive "more storage" option to add that doesn't technically add more storage:

Have all your alts walking around your house/property and you can interact with them taking things freely from their "inventory" without logging in and out of your current character. "Here hold this for me".

Would be nice to have other Characters on the account "NPC"ing around, with a dialog option to switch to that character (as opposed to loading the log out screen and back in, even if it would have to still reload the game)

Also it would partially cover the mannequin / dressable servant issue.

I had the same thought...

Along with mounts in a stable, pets roaming the grounds, etc.

Anyone know if there will be a Dwemer house?

In SWTOR, you're talking millions of gold/credits per. There, you bought the first room or couple of rooms, then spent insane credits to unlock each and every room, including staircases, to get the whole thing. You could also spend real cash, which is one reason why the in-game cost was so high. They want impulse buys and instant gratification kiddies to whip out the credit card.

If the same Daedra spawn responsible for clown crates is involved in this, don't expect it to be easily affordable. You have two months, start farming mats and gold. Before the inevitable nerf to reduce fun and increase the grind.

Speaking of clown crates, don't be surprised to see housing related items locked into those as well.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Will the crafting stations be basic or will they allow us to craft sets from locations we've visited?

Just found one of the imperial houses on live servers, it's near the Baandari trading post in malabal tor. Quite a nice house actually.

Understand if you're not ready to share now, but at some point I'm sure many of us would love to know what the future plans are for inventory space. I've been hoping that housing would bring either functional chests or mannequins that would let me store gear sets outside of bank and inventory. At the moment I have 11 characters just holding stuff and my inventory is still full to bursting. #theorycrafterproblems

So far it's a no, so much for my idea of a Dwemer Vault, thought it would look awsome with gears and steam only able to open with the correct combination of welkand stones.
