ESO breaks new record!!

Mitoice · January 2017

I hace played a LOT of games with housing since Ultima Online.... And this is the first game (MMO or single player) without functional housing....

Wow (garrison)
SWTOR
Guild Wars
Fallout
Ultima Online
Final Fantasy
Minecraft
Even Daggerfall which was developed in the 90s had functional housing....

Soo this is a first and new record!!

FIRST COSMETIC ONLY HOUSING CONGRATS!!!!!! AND THE BEST OF ALL.... ITS OUR FAULT

Well housing for either rich irl or rich in game, no middle class atm.

Izaki · January 2017

Wtf lol? Housing in a week?

Sigtric · January 2017

How do you define functional?
-Has crafting tables
-Has DPS testing dummy
-Has place for you to cry comfortably

Cpt_Teemo · January 2017

If I remember Gw2/Gw1 do not have housing either, i've played them along time but quit recently.

Mitoice · January 2017

@Sigtric

Define functionality???

_Storage
_Gardening to plant and get columbine for example
_Shops
_Fixing your gear
_Hand made lake to fish
_mine to gather ore
_Barbershop
_increase gained xp for staying in your house for x time
_Weapon racks
_Daily quest givers

The list goes on and on......

There a ton of ways to add functionality

Right now... Theres no incentive to return to your house, once youve decorated it

Not really, you have a home instance, but that's already built.

Elara_Northwind · January 2017

Well I am really looking forward to my characters having their own little house

I would be really happy if the housing was more functional, I really would, and I am hopeful that they add more functionality to it in the future, and am sure that they will, but for now... I am just happy to make my house look pretty...

Some people seem to dislike housing, and if you do, then don't buy one, nobody is forcing you to, there is no need to take offence to it, even if you don't like/agree with it, as nobody is forcing you to buy one, and it has no impact on anything important anyway

Just because it doesn't have some very specific things you want doesn't mean it's not functional. It has function I will be utilizing. Crating tables and dps dummies.

Could it use more? Sure. I'd love to have more. Your hyperbole is lacking in effort however.

Then enlighten us.... Which game provides housing with less functionality than this game????

Oh god id love to hear how you defend this one....

Mitoice · January 2017

Crafting and dps skelly test... Functions that you will use once a month at a best case scenario... Especially since the best gear of game isnt crafted

Does it affect you game if it does? So what if people like to decorate their houses and have fun with that, does that affect your game? If you don't like it, don't buy one, its simple...

They have hinted at adding more to housing in the future, so if you don't like the housing as it is, then wait and see what they add later on. Nobody is forcing you to buy a house, but there is no need to complain about them if they don't interest you anyway... Many people (including myself) are very excited for this update, even without any perks. What satisfies one kind of player will not satisfy another, and that is fine... I have friends who have never been to pvp, have never set foot inside maelstrom, because they don't find fun in those things, but they don't find the need to complain about these parts of the game, everyone is different and housing is optional

A test dummy could be put literally anywhere,crafting tables are not even that hard to get to. Was there more you wanted to add? The concept of housing zo$ added is just pure lazyness. For what they gave us, they could have just turned on ownership to crates and storage and we'd be happy.

I can get all (or most) of that in the game already. plants and ore literally are everywhere. I can fish rivers, oceans, lakes and fetid pools. Crafting stations abound. Not that I would object if those things were added to housing but really it isn't needed. The thing I have wanted for a long time in the game one way or another is coming to housing and that is a practice dummy. Very functional and not already found in the game.

It does when ZOS' resources are focused on these things rather than on major bug fixes, server performance improvements, major balancing efforts, actual new content, etc.

The only good points you made are 1 & 2, the rest you can either do or its just a minecraft thing you want for elder scrolls (mine to gather ore?)
Weapon racks are cool and armor stands are cool but they fall under non functionality, no?

We had one technically,and they took away.

Oh god id love to hear how you defend this one....

I also didn't say there were games that had less. You said "without functional housing" which is absolutely false. This is all I was speaking too.

I agree the system needs some further additions to be full fledged. I don't agree with your lying to validate your feelings on the matter.

Also I googled hyperbole for you http://dictionary.kids.net.au/word/hyperbole

Bonzodog01 · January 2017

This is far from the first MMO with completely cosmetic housing. You should see Rift and Aion. Both of them have housing which is purely cosmetic and a place to fill with trophies, nothing more.

Mitoice · January 2017

You will see as I saw it on the PTS... Without any incentive to return to your home..... You will be very pleased with your home the first month... After that?? You will be returning to your house once a month at best....

Elara_Northwind · January 2017

It does when ZOS' resources are focused on these things rather than on major bug fixes, server performance improvements, major balancing efforts, actual new content, etc.

If it makes you feel better, its not! Since pts went live, there have been multiple 'bugs' in housing, but zenimax have ignored them, and been concentrating more on the balancing side (Which I agree, is just as, if not more important) than fixing really vital aspects of housing, plus, there would be completely different teams of people working on both, so that is kind of irrelevant anyway, they don't employ the same people to take care of everything, they have teams for each individual area of the game, so the people working on housing would have no impact on those working on performance/balance etc.

Tandor · January 2017

The housing is definitely not only cosmetic, it will have a degree of functionality. I hope more functionality isn't added in the future as that will simply lead to the cities being deserted as everyone spends most of their in-game time in their house, giving new players the impression of an empty game world with the result that they move on.
