Do you walk to your house?

Dusk_Coven · July 2020

I'm curious because of this in PTS patch notes 6.1.1. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/6871625/#Comment_6871625

When approaching a home you own, your nickname for that home will now appear on the door.

No. I just teleport from Collections.

If I'm on my crafter, or happen to be in riften, I ride to my house(Very short distance from where I do my crafting), otherwise I port. So about 20/80

I have some other way of somehow entering my house.

I only walk to the house if I am near it or it is near a wayshrine. Otherwise I port from the map.

I also have a bunch of addon keybinds, so I can port to my main houses with numbers on the keypad. For example I press '0' and it takes me straight to the guild house.

InaMoonlight · July 2020

Yes. I go to the zone first then walk to my house.

I said yes, but the true answer is some times, if it's nearby to where i already am, but just as often home-port there, using them as a wayshrine closer to my quest objectives or guild traders.

Elsonso · July 2020

No. I just teleport from Collections.

From the map view, not strictly the collections UI, but same thing.

SilverBride · July 2020

I have some other way of somehow entering my house.

I just open map, go to the zone my house is in, then click the house icon to teleport there.

No. I just teleport from Collections.

I teleport from the Map, finding the House in Collections menu takes too long. I guess because i have a bunch of houses.

Anyway, I have only nick named one house as the name never seemed to appear anywhere.

I would like to see the Nickname show up on Tool Tip when viewing the map

Varies by house. Sleek Creek is often walked to, when returning from doing writs in Rawl'kha, but many others are ported to. Sugar Bowl and Mournoth are used to get to a wayshrine faster/cheaper.

Port can be from Collections, map or EHT's /home, depending on situation. Each of my characters has their own home, and EHT's /sethome makes going back easy.

redspecter23 · July 2020

I have some other way of somehow entering my house.

I either use an addon like guild hall button or beam me up or I just click it directly from the map. The last time I used the door to enter my house was when I did master writs in the Stormhaven house due to the proximity to the turnin. Maybe over a year ago?

Tigerseye · July 2020

Depends.

If I happen to be fairly near to it, I will go there on foot, as it's nearly as quick and occasionally even quicker and it's also more immersive.

Especially in the case of Proudspire Manor, where my crafting room is located on the ground floor, meaning that entering it via the ground floor door is obviously more efficient than porting to the door upstairs.

Otherwise, I just port to it, via the addon GoHome, if it's my Primary; or via Collections, or the map, in the case of my other homes.

Whether I use Collections or the map tends to depend on what I have in mind, at the time.

If I am thinking of visiting the house, to view, furnish, or craft, I will invariably use Collections.

If, on the other hand, I am interested in using the house as a quick port to something else in the zone, I will typically already be consulting the map and so, will port from that.

No. I just teleport from Collections.

Unless I am already right next to it, I generally just port from collections. The exception is my spooky Hammerdeath Bungalow, as I find that going from the spacious outside of it to the cramped and tortuous inside of it helps sell the mood. But that's really just a tour thing on Halloween. Not a house I use much at all

I like this idea.

katanagirl1 · July 2020

I almost always use Collections, unless I am farming mats and chests in the zone where my primary residence is located and drop in to decon stuff.

TheImperfect · July 2020

No. I just teleport from Collections.

It's nice occasionally to walk and view the outside and great when questing to see it but generally I just portal there.

MageCatF4F · July 2020

No. I just teleport from Collections.

Mostly port there, not always. Could have been an extra poll choice.

Mysanne · July 2020

This :

I just open map, go to the zone my house is in, then click the house icon to teleport there.

And this :

I teleport from the Map, finding the House in Collections menu takes too long. I guess because i have a bunch of houses.

Dovakhan · July 2020

Yes. I go to the zone first then walk to my house.

Sometimes yes (mostly when I've to sell stuff before entering my home, in that case I go to the Windhelm Wayshrine first), sometimes from Collections.

Syldras · July 2020

I have some other way of somehow entering my house.

I teleport from the map. To be honest, although I love housing, I use my houses more often for free fast travel than for actually doing something there. So for example, when my inventory is full, I often fasttravel from a big dungeon (where I don't want to walk all the way back to the exit if I can't collect any more anyway) to Ebonheart castle or to the Ebony Flask room, then leave by foot, sell my stuff in town, and then continue to the next wayshrine.

I have some other way of somehow entering my house.

The last time I walked into a house was when I had to use a wayshrine to get out of Cyrodiil so I could deposit my new Volendrung replica in Mournoth Keep.

Otherwise it's porting from the map, because load screens are lame.

bearbelly · July 2020

I'll walk to some of my houses if I'm in the vicinity; which happens often enough, I guess.

But mostly, I port to them using the map.

SilverBride · July 2020

I have some other way of somehow entering my house.

Even though I use the map to go TO my house, I do walk FROM my house every time I leave home. I exit through the courtyard door into the zone, then get on my mount and make the short ride over to the nearby wayshrine to head to wherever I'm going.

[edit to update:] maybe this is just a PC thing? I tried "/home" on console, and it didn't work.

driosketch · July 2020

I use the map. My homes are mostly all out of the way places. It doesn't really make sense to me to endure travel time + load time when I can just have load time. In a couple cases the house is closer to something than the wayshrine so it's my jumpoint rather than me destination.

Veinblood1965 · July 2020

You mean my real name in real life appears on my house? Very cool but kind of risky if anyone else knows my addess and name they could break in and steal my gold and herbs.

does it really matter how we go in

it depends on your current situation maybe you have no time and have to things done or you wanna enjoy the zone first....

That's why I didn't pick an answer lol.

If Im doing writs, I will run home, because its just up some stairs. If I finished a dungeon, I port home via map. Sometimes this way. Sometimes that way. I really don't think this update was necessary, but okay. I'll take it.

I would have preferred the ability to set a Guild Hall, in addition to my Primary Residence. But hey... guess now I'll think up something clever to name my home. Already have a name for one... "Storage Room" xD

Nope. I tried it on PC and it didn't work there, either.

This is why I have trust issues.
