IF they offer house stoarge I will cancel my sub. The bag is the only reason to sub. Its a double edged sword for them. The choice is theirs.

Or storage containers are only available to subscribers...

The only exception was the account bank and vendors. I think the reason that storage isn't included in the homestead update is because the programming doesn't actually exist for the function...

Actually such function exists... You can upgrade bag, or bank space, or mount to have more storage. If upgrading mount gives you more inventory space, then it could work the same for hosing to give more bank space ?

The reason why housing storage was scratched and wont be in in initial release is (probably) the fact that (as it was mentioned before) people will stop using eso+ for crafting bag.

But who knows ? Maybe ZOS will find a good solution for this. All we have left is hope...

Housing still needs storage.

People buy houses to store stuff. Didn't know that had to be spelled out.

Storage has been a staple of housing in every other elder scrolls game.

This isn't just an oversight, its a deliberate omission and a shameful one at that.

These games did not have a bank. It's not the same.

Just make mannequins as a way to store armor and weapons. That way people will still sub for the crafting bag, but it helps us with unloading all our set items.

I would buy storage with crowns if it comes as extra feature for housing. I have bought 4 extra character slots for 1500 crowns each exactly because I needed extra "bank" characters. 1500 crowns for 200 extra storage space is not bad IMO. Make it happen for housing and I will buy it straight away.

Whats the point if you put anything in it? Might as well claim a random rock as my home, same functionality

Simple solution. Houses could have storage that can be used only for weapons and armors. So you will still need ESO+ for materials.

Exactly.

Here's what I would do. There would be three types of Basic Storage with the House.

1) Weapon Rack.
2) Armour Rack.
3) Trophy Cabinet.

A Small House would get a Trophy Cabinet.
A Medium House would get a Trophy Cabinet and a Weapon Rack.
A Large House+ would get all three.

Whichever storage options come with the house, you'd get 10 slots for free.
Small house would get a 10 slot Trophy Cabinet.
Medium House would get 10 slot Trophy Cabinet and 10 slot Weapon Rack etc.

Additional slots purchased from the Crown Store at 10 Slots per 100 Crowns.

Ability to buy the type of storage missing from your Small / Medium Houses at 250 Crowns for basic 10 slots.

That way people already spending more on bigger houses are more incetivised to do so, and the ability for everyone to upgrade is there at a reasonable price-point.

Craft Bag would then still be required and so incentivse people to pay for ESO+.


I already have ESO+. I was thinking of getting a Medium House. But I am a hoarder and keep old gear that I like the look of, and trophies / collectibles. But with a Medium House under my proposals I would buy the Armour Rack, and 10 extra slots for Weapons and Trophies.

All The Best

Honestly, I love this idea but I bolded the part I think your confused with.....Do you seriously believe they will sell us 10 additional slots for 100 crowns???? Add a zero and maybe were in the right ballpark !

Agreed. There isn't as much reason to have storage specifically tied to houses. I am more concerned about the stuff we carry that cannot be displayed in houses, than places in the house to store things out of sight. They can just increase bank space, if people need more bulk storage.

The houses will be "account wide" - just like mounts - ones bought they will be available for all characters. I am not sure if furniture & decorations will be though (when you decorate house on one character will it be also affecting the other or you will be able to have different decorations for different characters).

Anyway to the point: I just thought: If upgrading mount gives you additional inventory slots.. so how about the same for houses ? If you upgrade your house it will give you additional storage space in bank - with small houses having small cap and larger manors & estates to have higher cap...

Yes, furnishings are account wide, and visible to all characters on the account, and all visitors to a house owned by the account.

You have a full roster of characters with all fully upgraded inventories/Bank already and you need MORE? You're asking ZoS to keep enabling your hording problem... I totally agree with them not allowing it in the houses. Like they already said they had to draw the line some where. Why do you need to keep gear that sits in your inventory if you only play two of your characters and use the rest as pack mules?

To be clear, my storage problem is not related to materials. In fact the increases availability of top tier base materials in One Tamriel has made keeping large quantities of those unnecessary. I have sold most of my materials in guild stores in the first couple of months after the update. Only one of my bank characters is storing materials, and her inventory is only about 80% full, including incomplete stacks of lower tier materials that are meant for selling later. So I can easily manage my crafting materials without craft bag, just using the bank and maybe 150 slots on one character.

The real problem is sets, because the high incertitude and low probability of getting the desired slot and trait when you actually need it. If I come across a divines armor piece or sharpened weapon from a set that could be useful I keep it. Because if I let it go I might not get to see it again, even when farming specifically. Some of my monster sets and 5 pieces sets like Spell Power Cure, Scathing Mage, Ebon Armory, Leviathan etc. sat in storage for months, while I kept adding to them, and kept leveling the characters that would eventually get to wear them. ATM I have 4 characters that keep gear and they are almost full. Hopefully I won't need more, and as I train positions 9-12, 5-8 will unload their inventory and become active.

There is also the incertitude from constant change in skills, bonuses, and item properties that happens every major patch and even in between. One set that may be marginally useful now may become BiS 1-2 patches from now, because one ability will proc it more, or the formula for damage calculation will change, or the set bonuses will change. And I don't want to waste time getting ideal pieces and traits then, with no guarantee I will. I'd rather enjoy the new content then run laps in the same dungeon for hours, and lose all the pleasure from playing the game because I ran out of space and deconned that sharp weapon 2 months before.

And I am by no means a "hoarder". In fact I am pretty strict with what I kept. A few weeks after One Tamriel was released I was seeing the space on my two bank characters filling up, so at one point I took the decision to decon BoP or sell BoE sets that I didn't consider useful. The first "victims" were the sets that provided bonuses available from skills and potions, like Dreugh King Slayer, Treasure Hunder, Toothrow, Rattlecage, Medusa etc. When I get an item from one of those sets now I just see a temper, a style item and a base material. And I am very stingy with crafted sets. For example my 5 piece Julianos is shared by both my veteran level magicka characters, the 5 piece Willow's Path which was cast of by my DK in favor of Tava's Blessing is now kept by my sorc and I reused my training gear while leveling my chars.

I will manage even if the houses never provide storage, the same way I am doing now, by training bank chars and thoroughly filtering items. I will just not put any money, especially RL cash in them.

Ive tried housing on PTS and you will get bored after a day..... then after that is one of two things... keep doing PvP, dungeons or trials... or waste your time farming useless nonfunctional housing items
