When is Stone Eagle Aerie on sale?

Aaxc✭✭✭There is absolutely no point on having such large houses when you can have only 700 items in them.
Not to talk about the special "items" that is capped to 10. Like, seriously, every crowns store you show new members that could inhabit my house, but I can't put them.
I'd gladly make a market or just make the house really live by having ppl walking around, but its not possible.

noblecron✭✭✭✭✭If it ever releases and I manage to get it, I plan on closing off some areas as I want to make it look like an abandoned Dwarven ruin. I mean it is but I dont' want Markarth there0 -

She likes it because it has an Egyptian/ Art Deco feel to it, and i like all the rooms and areas it has. Its easy to cut off the area you want to decorate. Also, i have a feeling they might expand our furnishing limits in the coming year. With the older generations of consoles being phased out, there is no reason to keep the low furnishing limits... unless they was lying to us about the reason. Maybe they will boost notables to 1000 or even 1500 items this year.
Your awfully optimistic and I hope your right. But last official word is no increase in the house part of forum.
It has been the excuse for a long time if you go above a certain limit on housing that lower end machines will crash. PS4 has had problems playing ESO for years. The base PS4 is horrible at this game. Xbox is made better and thus performs better but both were never designed to handle a game like ESO.
It has become a lot more popular to play MMOs on consoles now and the newer systems are a significant upgrade. There should be no excuse now. You are right i am being very optimistic because we know this is just an excuse, if they wanted to solve the problem the solution is not that difficult.
I actually thought they were going to solve this with the Elsweyr chapter and the hall of champions as a test bed. All they have do is divide houses into areas and you transition between areas. This would fix it for a lot of houses. Though some that are mostly open, like Grand Topal Hideaway, might be a challenge to do but a house like Stone Eagle Aerie would be perfect for this concept. Who knows maybe that is going to be the first mass test of a housing transition system that allows us to have up to 700 items per area with multiple areas in a home.
There's no way we see a change in limits anytime soon.
The old consoles will not be phased out as fast as you think. Games on the PS3 and Xbox 360 were still supported for years after the PS4 and Xbox One came out.
Unless the PS5 and XSX have completely isolated servers from the old generation, it can't happen. And considering we can use old characters in the new version of the game when it comes out, they're definitely the same servers.
The manufacturer supporting the console and ZOS supporting an MMO on console are two very different things. One thing that might happen is one of the future updates( probably a whole story arc but it could possibly be mid year) would not be available on those older platforms.
The next gen users would be separated from the old console users because the old consoles wouldn't be able to run the next content on their hardware. Both megaservers for each console would be combined due to server population and cost. The old consoles would get patches still but only for bug fixes and only probably once a quarter. They would continue like this for the next year or two in a support role for the game before stopping support on those consoles all together.
In order for them to do this, more than half of their population on that platform would need to be switched to the new systems. I expect that to take at least all of this year, though i would love those consoles to be phased out this year and the next chapter to actually be made for modern hardware.
I think the 2022 story arc will be when they do the server switch depending on how fast the population is switching to the next gen. Maybe the 2022 chapter. Microsoft will have full control of the company by then and ZOS will have access to MS assets. MS has a huge server farm going online in Iowa in 2021. 6th largest in the world when it onlines. That would be the perfect time to swap people over. It may even been included in the acquisition agreement. The old consoles would be ran from the current server farm until they were phased out probably 2 years later which would be 6 weeks after the 10 year anniversary of both Sony and MS launching that console gen.
We will find out more on the plans, i hope, in a couple of weeks.0 -

Won't be Jan, we got the Showcase today and it's not in it. Can be Feburary or even March, they sometimes save their 'best' for last. Bastion Sanguinaris was released in August (after the May/June launch of Graymoor), while Stonethorn was already launching in August/September.Anotherone773 wrote: »

milkbox✭✭✭✭✭Cynical view, but my guess is they're betting on people spending their "sale" crowns in the next two months so folk will have to buy more when the house is released.
Doesn't apply to everyone's spending habits, but I think it applies to enough people that they'll make more money in the long run.4 -

That's certainly a lot of speculation and conjecture, @Anotherone773 ... seeing as the Microsoft deal hasn't even closed yet.

Of course it's speculation...based on logical assumptions and some knowledge of corporate acquisitions.0 -

Jenzi✭✭✭✭It’s far too big. I really don’t know why they keep bringing out such big houses when the community keep asking for nice medium sized ones. I was hoping for Vlindrel Hall like in Skyrim, which would of been perfect. There aren’t any medium sized dwarven style houses in the whole game.2 -

You might be waiting indefinitely then.
The Dwemer didn't build houses. They had winding caverns and hallways with living quarters in them. The closest thing you might get is Stillwaters Retreat, and just block off the exit wall for the back of the Dwemer Structure you start in.0 -

I could do the same with Stone Eagle Aerie as there are a few places that can be blocked off nicely, but I’d still be paying large house prices.

The difference is that Stillwaters costs 7,000 Crowns while Stone Eagle Aerie will be 14,000+ Crowns probably.
If you fully intend to decorate yourself, Stillwaters will meet your demands far better.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭PS4 and PS5 are both on the same NA server, in my case.
Don’t knock the house for being too big and dismiss it completely. I plan to buy it and have 0 interest in a smaller, frozen lake, aka Stillwaters.
I don’t need full place settings at all the tables and the outdoor areas can be left natural with only a few select things like plants and pergolas, maybe some statues added.
I don’t plan to block off any areas in the Aerie, that is something I have never done in all my notable houses.

✭✭✭I like the location and the secret passage (I just love secret passages) to the Thieve's Den, but when I was looking at this place it made me feel itchy. It's dark and cold inside, no windows, and there's no earth or grass outside. It feels like a mausoleum.
Nice view, though. It's really cool to me that it's actually Markarth down there, and not an approximation of Markarth slapped together from LOD assets. Surely its own instance from other players, and all interior assets unloaded, I would expect, of course. I'd be so intrigued to see what's going on in the back end of this place.
