Overall I’m happy with most of the changes, or I should say I’m happy with the attention that went into most of the changes as well as what I think the intent behind them is. I am however baffled by the changes to how we will get certain furnishing plans. I don’t think I’ve placed more than one or two items since the price for blue and purple random recipes went up, though I have some items in the bank and empty houses waiting for them. Taking the gold recipes away before I can even afford them through the crappy Master Writ system kind of kills my enthusiasm for the whole housing system. Hopefully they have something fun in store for them, and I don’t mean in the Crown Crate store.

I wonder what the CP system will look like down the road. Increasing the cap doesn’t seem necessary to me right now.


Added: Bankable currencies is fantastic news. Very pleased about that!

So how does one get other currencies to put in the bank?

[monkeyemoness]

You get AP from doing PvP stuff in Cyrodiil and Battlegrounds. Also the Fighter's Guild bounties now, too. (I should remember to get Eolan to do those now and then)

Tel Var Stones come from monsters and other players in the Imperial City. You can also find big bags of them in chests and vaults and as quest rewards.

Writ Vouchers from completing Master Writs.

Man, sometimes I feel like I'm missing out. Even if I suck at PvP, I sort of want to give Cyrodiil another tour. It's been over a year since I've done anything outside of getting to the crafting stations in the IC.


Anyways, Grits, that's one of the reasons a friend of mine is turned off to housing and the game in general (aside from inflated prices). Getting both a house AND furniture needs a lot of time, money, and resources unless you want to use real money and get it all right away. More than is reasonable, IMO.

And with the swapping out of the Voucher vendor inventory, they REALLY should give everyone more than a month of notice given how long it takes to get vouchers. Maybe post dates when the inventory gets swapped. (If the current trend continues, then quarterly, so there's that?) Gross. Disgusting. I probably won't get everything by the time it's swapped out, but hey, I might so if it's any consolation I can probably craft them for people that want them. I can currently make the Poison Cabinet and the Orcish Fur Table.

Honestly, Khajiit hasn't been very interested in the housing. The ones you get for free are pleasant "random player free zones" and this one has spent a very small amount of time and resources furnishing them with green lvl furniture pieces.

Has anyone with access to the PTS server seen the new mansion behind the Kvatch Gladiator crafting station?

There is supposed to be a new one in Glenumbra and Vvardenfell (not Tel Galen, a new one) too; but I haven't found them. I heard they will be Crown Store only purchases and limited time sales. This Kvatch place is the size of a city!

Ooh, thanks for the update! Not sure if I'm a fan of the striped wolf, but hate to see that "Desert Garden Gala Overdress" going so soon.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Man, that Thane outfit is ugggh-ly.

Khajiit kind of likes the wolf though

Thank you, hazmick!

Looks like Darnand gets another shot at a Dwemer spider-car.

The Falkreath Thane kilt looks amazingly like the Telvanni robe. Maybe it will look good in the game.

I wonder if the Shepherd pet will be the full-sized wolf people have been asking for.

[hazmick]

The wolves are gorgeous, and the pet version certainly does look quite grown up compared to the puppy ones. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see them in game.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the house. It'd take a lot to convince Haa-Rei and Ciri to move out of Strident Springs but if anywhere can do it, Falkreath can.

[hazmick]

Here's an image of the new wolf mount and pet standing together, to get an idea of the size.

[monkeyemoness]

Oh, cool, we can play Okami in ESO now?

I'm never going to be able to un-see that. At least I have a name for the wolf now, if I choose to buy one.

Checked out some of the base game tweaks after the new patch. Quite a few changes to traits and mundus stones. And CP660 is the new cap.

After balking on countless costumes for the last several updates, Buffy was drawn to the new Falkreath Thane costume. It met plenty of things on her checklist: It has a waist! The feet are not huge. Knee-length mage type robe over pants. No shoulder flappers. No hip flappers. The only downside on preview was no utility pouch and it is a bit pricey at 1500 C. So I got it for her and she took it straight to the dye station. Happily, she was able to dye it nicely to her colors of forest green and buckskin tan. Happy elf!

Pic! Pic!

Yay for the new outfit! When Jerric declared that it gave him “elf butt,” I knew it would be a hit with those whose body type falls near the lower right corner.

[Acadian]

Khajiit, pic coming right up!

Grits, 'elf butt'

[hazmick]

I previewed the outfit with Ciri, but she wasn't a fan. Buffy, on the other hand, looks absolutely fantastic in it! Though now I'm hesitantly curious to see what Jerric means by 'elf butt'.


We did, however, purchase a new pet. All of the pets we had were bought by/for Haa-Rei so I thought it was time Ciri had one of her own.

Wow, Buffy makes most things look good! Khajiit was not a fan of this outfit, but it is actually flattering on Buffy!

[Acadian]

Hazmick - Love Ciri's new wolf! From her time in Skyrim, Buffy gets the impression that 'elf butt' probably refers to the fact that most mermaids don't have hips judged ample enough to bear lots of strapping Nordic babies. Nor are they generally judged gifted enough up top to feed those same strapping babies.

Thanks for the kind words from both you and Khajiit about Buffy's new outfit.
