Firstly, thanks to Cullen and team for the article back in February on the item limits in housing.
It was much appreciated and forthcoming communication that I did find it to be insightful. But, for me there were two key issues that the article did not address.
- 700 is the max …. so why cant we allow the option to upgrade all homes to 700 items?
- In the ESO Live episode last year with Cullen, he mentioned that the team acknowledges the request for more medium and smaller houses and they were working on that. However, since then, the majority of the houses released have been crown only, monster homes where there is no way you could decorate them with 700 slots.
So given that we accept the 700 limit, if there are to be future updates on this subject, I think it would be important to address these two points, particularly the second one. There is no point having a discussion on item limits without addressing the continued direction of ZOS to predominantly release houses that simply cant be decorated within the current constraints.
Perhaps its time to be forthcoming. Is there a commercial interest in mainly producing houses that are clearly imbalanced with the furnishing limits o the system??
Maybe very few people bought Lucky Cat or Frostvault homes compared to Potentates Retreat or other huge properties. If that is the case, then I would completely understand. Why would ZOS design more medium homes for 6000 crowns when what people really want are large flashy 14000 crown status symbols? If that is the case then I think it would actually help to know that because I think people would accept it rather than thinking that ZOS is just ignoring the request to release homes that match the item restrictions.
On a more positive note though, I noticed that a lot of the new furniture currently on the PTS has both filled and empty versions. This is a positive move that contributes to better use of the limited item count. You listened to our feedback and implemented it. Also, Proudspire was a gleaming example of where you gave a house with an item limit that comfortably matched the size of the house. Really good job on that one and again, thanks for listening to the feedback there.
