HomeStead.... I'm i missing something???
After watching many "online" reviews of HomeStead.. then using the preview option myself, i noticed that many of the reviewers were SO excited about how many bedrooms and wardrobe closets/nightstands and furniture that were decorated within the rooms.. ?? Am i missing something.. What the hell is the purpose of bedrooms? You can't sleep .. or store anything within the furniture..??
It's almost identical to a digital version of Barbie's Dreamhome.. but for ESO players.. I understand the areas dedicated for crafting or displaying your trophies.. But what the hell do i need a bathroom, living room or bedrooms for?

✭✭Don't make bedrooms. Set your houses up like offices with crafting areas, meeting area, display areas, etc.

As well, if someone RP's they'd probably rather have a place to "sleep" rather than try to imagine why they don't have a bed...

Agreed.
There isn't any practical benefit to housing at all, except for quick access to attuned crafting stations and the target skeleton. If you're looking for practical benefits this isn't the update for you (unfortunately).
Meanwhile other people very much want a house for their character, and of course that house needs a bed and a table and chairs and food and all sorts of other things for exactly the same reason kids want the accessories for their toys - it opens up the number of stories and 'scenes' you can act out with them.
The weird ones are people like me who fall somewhere in the middle - I don't understand the level of hype from some people but I understand why RPers would want a house. And I think for me to make use of housing at all, even though I don't role-play, it needs to have a few basic 'features' like beds even if they are purely cosmetic because otherwise the immersion break of going to a 'house' that's basically a dumping ground for crafting stations is too jarring for me to enjoy it.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Myrrah✭✭✭so to end the bafflement of so many-just think about why you or anyone plays games. The whole point and success of games is to do what you can't do in real life. So someone who enjoys decorating but maybe had to do that boring 9 to 5 job in a sterile little cubicle-decorating a house is an outlet that gives them a sense of satisfaction to have a beautiful home they can return to after a tough day of killing monsters Just like going out and beating that challenging boss or living wild n free as a sneaky cat. Or being a vampire or werewolf. et al. It's all about who people are that they can't be in real life. So all opinions are only based on what YOU like to do that you can't do in real life. Everyone is different 4 -
erliesc✭✭✭I had 4-5 homes in Skyrim...and you could store stuff in them. Eventually had issues remembering where I left stuff.
I'll start off easy with the housing...but will try it since I'm into crafting. I could manage 300K for a big place...but what would I do with it?
Eventually...when I become emperor...I'll invite my underlings over for brunch...maybe. :-) Not good to have just a room in an inn....I know nutting....0 -

What the hell are you taking about? Anyway.. I understand were everybody is coming from.. For me.. I understand ESO is "make beleive".. but crafting, displaying trophies and interacting at my stations within the home are a higher level of interaction then having a bed/wardrobe that does absolutely nothing.. yet they require real world money or hard earned gold to purchase.
At least give me a "hardy night" sleep buff everytime i interact with my bed.. or a "armor" buff when i interact with my wardrobe.. or even better... a "speed/movement" buff when i interact with my toilet (you know... because you took a nice crap and you feel much lighter.. so in turn, you move faster!)...hehe3 -

✭✭Meh.
My wife and I are buying a Medium home (probably the one outside of R'awlka [sp?]). No storage, pathetic player caps... really only good for our RP.
Any more homes? I'll wait to see what they release and how much they are in Morrowind. But until they add additional storage, there's really no point at all to owning more than one home. Any more than one home, and you're just exponentially increasing the grinding you'll have to do to furnish them.

Humatiel✭✭✭✭Housing is meant to be a growing expansion, dont expect what you see now to be the end-state of this update. For now though we get dummies and crafting stations as well as the ability to log directly into your house where you can place both a banker and merchant. Its a good functional start to a progression that will span years, potentially a decade if ESO lives that long.VMA | vHRC-HM | vAA-HM | vSO-HM | vMOL-HM

Fudly_budly✭✭✭✭You're getting exactly what ZOS' "metrics" told them you wanted. For example, did anyone watch the most recent ESO Live? Their metrics told them "only 3% of players had maxed out bag and bank storage." So, they concluded no need for storage in houses. See how they work?
Now, consider their implementing changes "for the good of the game." They used this phrase a few times. I would argue this means longevity of their game. Everything from basic character leveling to furnishing your home takes time. Takes 6 months to max out a horse. Months to max out trait knowledge. The RNG that stretches everything out.

Sad thing is: I don't even have my Bank stuffed to the gills (though I have bought every possible Bank Space upgrade).
Why?
Because I have two characters that are nothing more than extra bank space. Literally, I have to use their 90 space inventories for additional storage.
I don't give two *** about your "metrics", ZOS. Why should I buy a house that I can't store anything in? Literally every other game that offers Housing (not just other MMO's), those Houses come with additional storage...
The fact that storage "didn't make the cut" is ***, and you know it.

Did that actually happen? They waved away the massive storage issue (even for subs) by using that metric? My eye is doing that rage-twitch thing again. It is a decent gold sink to max bag and bank space. So I guess, as always, the idea is to push people towards the crown store. That seems to be their response to most things. Shrug and say "spend some crowns to make it better!"2 -

Since day 1 i've been destroying all the sets that i was receiving because i knew about the limited storage cap.. and I was also told from day 1 that this isn't Skyrim, so there is no need to store all your stuff as there aren't collectibles in the game
But with the crafting caps.. maybe it's for the best.. I'm a master crafter and i hate crafting with all the motifs.. I'd rather have a handful of craftable sets that i can stay in for longer periods and just change the appearances with costumes (while keeping my existing build)..0 -

There are no outhouses or "restrooms" in all of Tamriel. At the very least, there should be a tiny room, with a "pot to *** in", with fleshflies swarming around it, in all homes, and most public buildings.
