Housing

I wonder if we are going to get housing in the next module. If Perfect World has gotten housing, why not this game?

    Yayyy new AD sink.Also more ways to shove overpowered boons
  • kievitzkievitz Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 260 Arc User
    why would we need housing?

    Theres enough Ad sinks in this game already, or do you really think the rewards from housing would help broken gameplay?

    Before anything gets added to this game, bugs and broken mechanics should be addressed to make way for class and overall game balancing.

    housing, ffs.

    I assume the guild strongholds are this game's "houses".
  • wildfiredewildfirede Member Posts: 886 Arc User
    Strongholds count for me as housing too. And before implementing new things fixing old ones should be done. (tooltips insignia bonuses pet atack speeds , broken skills and feats).

    The problem with housing is one of utility - look at Champions Online, where they implemented personal housing; It took a fair bit of work to implement, and while they look cool, the actual usefulness that they offer is limited. Short of roleplaying reasons, what would you expect from player housing? Many of the convenience features have been added via the VIP system. If you are really so inclined, you could probably build your home via the Foundry.

    I suppose they could add a handful of very simply instanced areas that you can access from the world map - like a small plot with some house on it.

    I would rather see some improvements in Guild/Stronghold customization

    1. Guild banner/flags
    2. Guild hall with customized content - trophies, member or group screenshots on walls, armor sets
    3. Unique colors or textures for Stronghold buildings
    4. Unique look of NPC guards (like shields with guild logo, custom paints).

    In my opinion, this is a much better use of the Foundry tool. Allow people to build their own home instances with it.

    And I'm sure with enough thought you could add some cool stuff to player housing to make it more than just a cosmetic time sink (although something I'm sure a ton of people would participate in) without making it ridiculous.

    The Foundry has been down since the launch of this mod, only 23 foundry quests have been republished.

    I wasted five million AD promoting the Foundry.

    If they chose to do a qol item next.. i Would rather have them redo a actual wardrobe .. where you dont lose looks once you and can store like 100.

    that would be more fun imo then player housing.

    Ive never seen a game where player housing was anything more then maybe another chest storage place and a area that you mostly neglected.

    no one cares about other peoples trophies for the most part.

    the foundry is the devs hated stepchild.
    Meaning each new patch (and that happens way more often than QA) your house will be broken for weeks-months...

    I think the SH is more in the lines of housing for this game. Maybe do more with these. I guess housing is more of an individual thing to be built up and real money thrown at it idk.

    The wardrobe idea is something we need along with some sort of key ring. And why on earth does the equipment you put on companions not stay on them. I know they did not used to bind stuff but when they changed it, the gear only became btC and unequip when you stow the companion. I would love to have the gear actually stay on the companion.

    Oh guild banners would be so neat, and if they could appear on guild armor/shields, that would be even more awesome!
  • demonmongerdemonmonger Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 3,350 Arc User
    Guild banners or symbols would be nice..

    Introduce personal and guild tabard, customizable with uploaded pics, a flag also and shields

    Also a personal cloth loom for your mount, also with the ability to custom it with uploaded pics.
  • phoenix1021phoenix1021 Member Posts: 532 Arc User
    Uploaded pics? You realize half the server population would be running around with penises on their armor, right? Guild symbols would only work if they could be combined from pre-selected symbols and then colored. I loved the system GW2 had for that. There's already some error message about "guild uniforms not found" every time I go to the preview server, I wonder if something like that is already planned...

    My main is part of a large guild with excellent participation and interesting members...but I have always been vaguely disappointed with the stronghold's lack of personal touches. Our banners and statues are the same as everyone else's. Our servants, lackeys, merchants, and guards look like generic HAMSTER. Perhaps giving players a personal space with broad customization options within the context of Strongholds would A) relieve the same-ness, and B) cause us to throw AD away like so many grains of sand.

    With all the things in the pipe and those which should be in the pipe... Housing is really low on my wish list

    Do you really know what is getting stuffed into the pipe?

    Edited as I re read my post it may sound .... bad. So again do we really know whats coming down the pipe? Only thing we can go by is what has been stated and until those things hit preview and go live its only words on a blog post. Between the time things are stated/promised and actual release a lot can change and some may never come to pass.

    When it hits live I will believe.
