I have no doubt that more storage will arrive eventually. It just didn't make the cut for the initial release.

If or when storage comes to housing, I think it will be more along the lines of a "housing bag". Like a crafting bag but for housing items only, spare furniture, collectables, etc. There's no way I see housing storage being like bank or personal inventory slots.

They said on the recent ESO Live that the exclusion of storage was from the launch version only, and that it is being considered as one aspect of what they fully intend to be an extensively enhanced housing system over time. This is purely the beginning.

As for other functions, the game will suffer terribly if the housing becomes a complete substitute for the cities. Where that has happened in other games the cities have become deserted as everyone stays in their own private instance and new players log in to what feels like an empty game.

Firstly, about the slots idea:

What i would change most though:

Make it MUCH less of a grind. Why so many materials for such tiny things!!!??? Especially for simply cosmetic tiny things.

i agree with what others have stated-that they have to be cautious about doing anything that will cause the cities to become deserted. That has happened in other games and the devs had to go back and undo the damage. But this part. Yes. I completely understand their needing money to continue development. i am completely supportive of that-within reason. If you make me feel i'm being scammed-my positivity towards support takes a nose dive. This feels like being scammed

they need to lower the amount of gold (price) to buy the house i do not have 3mil gold yet. or whatever the price was for a large home.

I don't just want to be able to store items in my house - I want to be able to display them there. So for me extra storage slots if you own a house isn't really a solution, they may as well just increase the cap on the bank.

I'd prefer a system that lets us place items from our inventory just like we can with furniture, so we can decorate our houses with them.

Nothing needs to be done because I won't be playing it. In my opinion there are so many things wrong with it in so many areas -- concept, design, execution, etc. -- that they would never be able to fix it to my satisfaction even if they tried.

Storage didn't make the cut for day one release.

In game we have alts, gold for backpack, gold for bank slots and gold for riding lessons to increase inventory storage.
In crown store we have these as well.
in game we may or may not have guild banks to use depending on our setup.

So like over a half dozen ways now to get storage in game.

Didn't make the cut but a completely new feature - dps dummy with after action stat did.

or as some would say "pointless"?

Not everyone plays the same game the same way and for the same fun that i do so even if housing is a sub-game i may not be totally into, i got no problem with them adding it.

As for what kinds of functionality i want to see added... and no just extra storage is not high on my list. here is from the other threads about the same thing

i had a list on other threads but here goes:

New Functionality
"Plots" - let me plant/dig/enchant a variety of nodes so that i have "patch of kresh" or start a "rubedite dig" or set out some "thick leather traps" or enchant a runestone node" or plant a patch of "Ambassador root" so that once a day i can harvest my "garden." now of course these should be within reason but think of them as the housing method of duplicating the hireling passives.
Manageable Storage - where i can build a chest or rack and store "groups" of things and then NAME the chest/rack so i know on hover-cursor whats inside at least by the name of the chest. So give me multiple flavors of these.
Mirror/Racks - Simple - right click to select "swap all" and my worn armor, jewels, quickslots all transfer to the Mirror/rack and what is on there loads onto me. plus a slower items by item load or take for when i want to be picky.

Convenience
Repair Station - Obviously let me "do" my own repairs - paying for the ingredients just like i would pay your typical grocer to fix my Gold Quality Pauldrons of Selene.
Guild Mailboxes (Runners) - Allowing access to a given "guild" from my home for acquiring dailies and "turning in" dailies." mages guild would include consumable writs and their madness stuff, fighters would include equipment dailies and their dolmen stuff, Undaunted would include pledges and their delve stuff, TG, DB etc.
Merchant Couriers - Each is tied to a specific cluster of guild stores (like say the ones in windhelm or the ones in Wayrest) allowing me to access them from home for buying.
Guild Couriers - Secure and confidential, these allow me acces to my guild banks and stores but not my normal banking activities.
Groomsman - These take care of the horses and provide riding lessons if you have the cash.


NOTE None of these would duplicate or replace the crown bought merchant or banker.
NOTE: Only the plots are "creative"(putting new stuff into inventory.)
NOTE: most are either better organization or saving the time to walk over to commonly available NPCs time after time after time.

No need storage for more storage, but for interactability with the furniture other than sitting on a chair o switch candles and for display purpose only: racks, mannequins, trophies...

That would be my wish as well, and it would also make the most sense. Instead, in a design that only shows how out of touch ZoS is, not only can you not put simple inventory items like a bowl of stew in your home, but you also need to FARM LIKE A MAD MAN to hunt down the recipe for that stew. Then you farm like a mad man again for the esoteric ingredients for the recipe, just for that stupid bowl of stew that I could have easily cooked myself with provisioning. Then the trifecta of craziness concludes with the BIZARRE nature of the ingredients: instead of food ingredients to craft a stew, you need nickel, wax, runes, etc.! This would be normal if Homestead was designed by ALIENS.

We need to place our alts as NPCs in houses!
