neither fair nor outrageous, simply ridiculous.
This is content where I am clearly out, even though I spent hundrets of Euro already.

Luckily the game has a lot more to offer, still have not yet decorated all of my houses, despite being a major furniture crafter/seller.

This is my personal opinion though, I know there are people who spent not hundrets, but thousands of Euro/Dollar, so there obviously is a market for it. Which is ok, as the game needs money to continue, so it is fine for me if others pay for it.

Considered it, checked it out in preview. Invisiwalls everywhere = hard pass.
(Come on ZOS, why put walls blocking waterfalls the player can climb to? That's just rude.)

Don't buy it.

It's really unfathomable...133 euros..wow.
I pity those who buy it in cash, really. Go and buy some pressies for your kids or treat yourself to something that you can keep forever

/meh

These houses aren't new, these prices aren't new, these complaints aren't new.


Personally, I just put it in the same category as $500+ 'designer' jeans, $1k+ diamond-studded bras, and $500k supercars - not targeted at me, priced silly, no reason to bother with it or pay attention to it. /shrug

(that said, it'd be nice if they released a few more smaller houses for every Super Luxury one they put out.)



I've got one super-huge house, the free one from the Summerset event. It's very large, and hard to decorate (not because of furniture limits, but because of how specific all the architecture is.)

People can spend the money they earned on anything they want. What sounds like a large amount to some may not be to others. Why would you pity someone who can afford to purchase the things they want?

People aren't required to only spend their money on something they can keep forever. Entertainment is essential to good mental health and is a reasonable purchase.

ZOS found an easy path to cash & ignored everything else.

Many of the homes in the crown store can actually be found as npc homes/places throughout the game. The alinor home interior immediately comes to mind. So it's not like they actually hand crafted each one just for housing. Theyre just cashing in on selling us premade empty Npc areas....

I’ll

I don’t think cash is the issue there

Not cash of course, an allocation of resources. ZOS found an easy path to cash & ignored everything else.

This is endemic to every game I’ve played in the past 10 years.

Sad that

The difference between furnished and unfurnished is almost as ridiculous as the base price itself.
An empty home costs 85€ a furnished one 110€. The furnished version is still very empty for the most part. The furnishing is more expensive in gold than the manor homes you can buy with gold, but when paying with crowns suddenly the furnishing prices are so much cheaper than if you had bought them individually.

An empty manor should sell for 3000 crowns max. If the furnished versions actually feel like a proper home already then sure, ask for those 110€ again, since you not only get to bypass the effort of tracking down and gathering all the furniture but also pay for the interior design.

Also all houses should be purchaseable with gold directly as they were meant to be a gold sink for the economy. Crown-selling houses leaves the gold in cirulation, which might be good for the seller, but is bad for the ingame economy in the long run.

People need to stop ridiculing those who enjoy things differently than they do. A night out can easily cost as much and more yet I dare say fewer people would criticize that. And even most “things” do not last forever, do they?

As for me, I try to buy quality things when I buy them and then use as long as possible until they must be replaced. I have neither means nor space to buy things all the time, nor do I like to be wasteful.

Paying for digital items is for the experience so it really depends on how much YOU enjoy them. If you will enjoy building on it, it may be a worthwhile expenditure.

As others have pointed out too — anyone planning to buy properties for Crowns surely stocked up during this past sale! Also , you should be looking at the base price of 15,000 Crowns. Whether the furnishings are worth an additional 3,800 is a separate question that each must evaluate for themselves. Do you like the furnishings that much and if so, is this the best way for you to obtain them? Some may be inexpensive to buy from traders, etc.

My main disappointment is that so much of the property has stuff built on it; I had thought there would be half as many structural elements with a greater portion of the property nature, trees, waterfalls, beaches (Moonsugar Meadow is my favorite property!). The other element is the volcano, which I wish had been designed more like the shield volcanoes of Hawai’i, more slowly constantly erupting lava, whereas it looks instead like there’s just been an explosion, and everything will be destroyed by ashfall and pyroclastic flow in another moment.

From the size and all things considered, I do feel the price should be closer to 10k unfurnished... But I had already been considering how I would furnish it and one of my wizards needs a volcano-side forge for... research...

There should be a certain level of consistency within the store. Does a house, that you still need to fill before you can properly use it even in the furnished version, provide the same level of entertainement/enjoyment as twice the game's latest chapter? No. Not it probably doesn't. Especially since Housing is still lacking functionality.
A fully furnished home, close to the furnishing limit, where every corner of it already feels cozy and people like to come and visit? Perhaps.

The point is that most players want those houses, but they are understandably having a hard time justifying spending money on what is essentially just another grind/chore if they could just buy a new tripple A and an indie game for the same money instead, and arguably having a better time doing so too.
It's just not a good deal no matter how you look at it. But it could have been something a considerably larger amount of players could get to enjoy if they had lowered the crown prices or added gold prices to these manors.
