More banker functions

BossXV · May 2017

Do bankers really not have guild store functions in our own house, honestly this is the only thing keeping me from buying one and a house

This would just add so much to the bankers use

Cpt_Teemo · May 2017

If they added to banker they would have to add to merchant too, so

Yeah banker should allow us to use guild store

while merchant should allow repair

They are going to add an upgraded banker, merchant and thief in the future, Dominoid already datamined them a while back, I imagine we will see them soon(TM).

Are you sure it's an upgraded one? Or is it just a limited time different one

It has a dro'mathra skin

No more functionality?

max_only · May 2017

The new banker/merchant is just a different look. Not an upgrade in functionality. Let me search the forums for ya, one min.

They're only premium since their clothes on these new ones looks expensive...

This is correct. The "premium" component is purely cosmetic - they do also have unique VO, but functionality-wise they are the same as the current portable banker and merchant.

I just wish Zos has not change how the banker spawns. Before Morrowind it spawned in front of you, but followed behind. Now all assistants spawn behind us. On day 1 I thought my assistants were not spawning at all until I noticed it was behind me.

There was no mention of this change in the patch notes. Only change to assistants was an issue with functionality in homes.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Can you ask to have this looked at. Granted it is merely an inconvenience but we also paid 5k crowns for this things and the way they spawned before worked great.

As for adding functionality, it would be nice if the banker and merchant worked as NPC ones do, especially when placed in a home.

merchant that's placed in a house DOES allow repair.

sadownik · May 2017

@Linaleah mine doesnt, did you manage to get a different one?

DannyLV702 · May 2017

If the banker had guild trader access I would buy it without hesitation

Didn't ZOS go on the record after to say these upgrades don't add functionality - and just changes the appearance?

Well, I was recently in a group running public dungeon bosses, and one had a merchant. I was able to sell off all the junk and keep going. It was Crow's wood, so in order to sell off my junk, I would waste a good amount of farming time.

That being said, 5 000 crowns for one of them is not worth the money.

Vicarra · May 2017

So despite that we paid 5k crowns (~£50 for both) for the banker and merchant, rather than upgrading the capability of the current ones they're going to add "deluxe" ones that presumably cost like 10k each?

The issue with adding more functionality esp with the Trader (ie adding repairs) would be that it would cause a lot of people to cry p2w. Imagine if you can pull out your trader and repair everyone's gear in every trial. That would save time - points- leaderboard positions.

While I do think you're 100% right and spot on with what would happen - why not just block the usage of assistants in said areas?

I could have sworn, it did, but I double checked and it does. damn.

also - on p2w - they don't need to add repair and guild vendor functionality to vendor out in a wild, only when they are placed in a house.

Because then you wouldn't be able to sell your excess stuff to make room in your inventory, like the functionality they advertise it for.

However the suggestion in the post above about them having the extra functionality when placed in homes would solve that issue.

It would however make the existing banks in various areas empty. I prefer seeing lots of people in zones. Makes the game feel more alive. But that's one person's opinion I guess.

BossXV · May 2017

Honestly I think half the time I would go to public areas for my business, out of habit and desire to see life, lol

Kali_Despoine · May 2017

you guys are asking for a miracle here.
They can't even fix group finder and you think they can code the merch and banker to do something new in a different zone?
Yes this would make them more useful and clear clutter out of the major towns but, your asking them to break more in game by asking for change.
This is ZoS coders were talking about here.

Not only that, but adding functionality to your banker and merchant would mean people had no reason to visit the cities as they could do all the everyday activities in their homes. In other games that has turned the cities into ghettos which gives the wrong impression to new players who log in, find the place deserted, and log out again.

BossXV · May 2017

However the lack of banker and merchant functions in home is the reason why I do not own a manor and merchant and banker

@Dominoid didn't you data mine an upgraded version of the Banker, Storekeeper and Thief a while back?
