Sheuib✭✭✭✭Mix of bothI wouldn't expect them to not put them in the crown store. I mean they are in the business to make money. However, there does need to be guests that you can get through achievements. Ones that you can show off.3

✭✭✭✭✭Mix of bothWhile I would prefer the house guests to be only from in game achievements, including ones we have already earned, we all know the Crown Store is going to be a major source.
I just don't want the Crown Store to be the only Source.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭✭✭✭YesI do not mind that much how they add them.
In the end, it is of no importance since you can't even place them in your house unless you want to sacrifice half your placed mounts and pets, because both occupy the same furnishing type.
As long as that is the case, my personal excitement and desire for them is vastly limited.Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,
Magnus is my mind.

✭✭Mix of bothThat would be pretty rad. And it would make sense to have an in-game connection to a character (or group from which a character might come) who would then come and hang out in your house.
Agreed that the crown store is going to get the lion's share of the offerings, though. I think the best we can hope for is that there's an in-game option at all.Ilsabet Menard - DC Breton Nightblade archer - Savior of Pretty Much Everything, Grand Overlord & Empress Nubcakes

This. While I don't mind having options for those who want them, even one guest rewarded from questlines for the following: AD, DC, EP, Wrothgar, Thieve's Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, and Skyrim; is already max slots for even the biggest homes with ESO+ leaving no space for a pet, mount or assistants. I'm just not going to be excited at possibly having a roster of guests I can't use.Edited by driosketch on July 15, 2020 4:26PMMain: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC

✭YesI think it will be mixed, but of course I want it to be just from achievements. ;P
In the case of NPCs you meet during quests (like Sereyne, who has been datamined as an upcoming houseguest), those at least should be earned through gameplay. That would make her presence in your house really special, I think--if you had to earn her friendship.1 -
SgtPepperUK✭✭✭Mix of bothI voted mix because it is clear that at least some will be in the Crown Store.
In the official feedback thread I suggested pricing should be similar to pets, 400 to 1k gold, with them mostly being around 700 gold, though I added that if they offered Bard NPC guests, these could be worth 1.2k to 1.5k gold as they would double as music for the house.
I did also state that earnable guests should be added in, again this would put them on a par with pets, where we have a mix of ones we can earn and ones we can buy.
I just hope they never gate any behind loot crates.Edited by SgtPepperUK on July 15, 2020 9:53PM0 -
Kelinmiriel✭✭✭✭✭Mix of bothAdd M'aiq for the achievement, that would be so great!
Also, please add more slots in houses for this category! As soon as I hopped on the PTS to try pathing (in my Grand Topal Guild Island copy from NA - which is open for anyone who wishes to visit, btw) I quickly discovered that the limit is a serious problem.
I have a very cute little display on the beach of a little guar family in a shed. (2 mounts and a pet).
Banker, merchant, and fence - that's 3 more, so 6 out of 10.
A pet fox in a relaxing beach picnic spot brings it up to 7, which only leaves 3 spots for houseguests.
And some people like both types of merchants/bankers in guild homes.
If ZOS really wants to sell houseguests in the crown store, they should give us enough slots to use them!Event Tracker addon (PC NA/EU)

Dusk_Coven✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Mix of bothIf you want a lot of types of houseguests, the Crown Store is a helpful shortcut for ZOS. Sprinkling them into the game requires a lot more effort, such as figuring out where, then coding it in, then hearing people on the forum whine that this-or-that-houseguest is locked behind some-content-or-other that they don't like to do.0 -

✭✭They most likely will be crown store only. Majority of houses are also for crowns only.0 -

✭✭Mix of bothAchievements are an untapped form of player retention.
Players in guild wars 2 stick around for years just to do achievements because it unlocks things to play with.2 -

I will put him in every house i own. And place some nice trees so has shade and grass so his paws have something soft and comfortable to stand on.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Alcast mentioned this during a livestream before covid when he was with ZOS employees in the flesh. They seemed interested, you can look at this change (about 6-8 months after the suggestion) as a stepping stone.
This feature seemingly came out of nowhere, I'm willing to bet they're trying to find a way to allow us to do something with our alts.1 -
Fischblut✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭YesI'm not interested in any houseguest which we see on PTS so far, so I wouldn't want them even for free.
But I totally support the idea of getting these and different houseguest NPCs from achievements
