?
how do I get bmah in my garrison? mine’s a pleb garrison with bad buildings -.-
yeah if blizzard did bother and put minimal effort into WoD, I think it’d be a great expansion. they just had to not starve people for content.
garrison would fit perfectly then.
but it felt like garrison was the main future of the expansion which says a lot of devs
This mission sends you on a quest that ultimately lets you access the Black Market Auction House from your Garrison.
nice… I never got it smh!
my garrison looks pleby, i need bmah there too, gotta check ships missions daily now rip
I would love a Housing system like in ESO.
That’s not true. It works greatly in ESO. In ESO i visit only rarely my house. I visit it only if i wanna chill or furnish it.
Blizzard should avoid AHs, follower missions, vedors and maybe mailboxes. That’s all.
I’d be quite happy to be wrong ! I’m just scared to see an even emptier world ![:slight_smile:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
But yea they should avoid things that’ll make them never leave, like AH, bank etc.
If player housing were to become a thing, I’d like to see the option of class and race specific furniture/decorations. E.g. Paladins could have librams, Trolls could have Tiki masks etc.
Also, profession furniture is a must; I’m just sitting here imaging how totally bonkers and off the walls insane a Gnome/Goblin Engineer’s house could look 
And although I agree they should be basically just aesthetic, I’d at least like to be able to set my hearth there. It’d make it feel more like a home.
NO! To housing…
First, they MUST update their game engine then think of housing…
Player housing has never been a worthwhile feature in an MMORPG and never will be. If it allows loads of customization, players will build dickbutts and silly stuff that breaks immersion. It it doesn’t allow lots of customization, everything will look the same and not be interesting. And what about physical space? There no room in the center of Boralus for a house for everyone, and does anyone ever go into the outskirts?
If players want to build some virtual house, they should play The Sims or Cities Skylines.
Yes it has to be instanced, but I would like them to make it like the garrison where you have it occupying a set space in the world, but when you enter it it’s your own instance. It works quite seamlessly with the garrison. You go in and out without any loading.
If they start planning housing for the new expansions, then all the assets that are usually interactable, like benches, could be added as house furniture with very little effort. They could even transform assets used for world building, like new buildings and their decor, into housing items too, although I’m not sure how much more work that would add.
I guess adding housing to new zones made from scratch to support it would be much easier than changing the layout of old areas. I just want to make sure that they don’t forget housing after one expansion, and of course, I want to be able to have a house that reflects the race of my toons.
The garrison’s terrain was quite impressive. The mine, the lake, the area you got to have just for yourself was quite amazing, specially after you added the shipyard. Just half of it would already have enough space for a mansion and gardens 
But that and the technology they used to get us inside with no loading are pretty much the only things the garrison did right. Having places to show off your mounts and pets, fantastic, having quests for mounts and pets, not so fantastic.
Really, I can’t stress this enough, housing should be no more useful than transmog. That’s it. No farming to get resources, no visitors with special quests (put those on the main city), nothing that makes this anything more than a fun side activity.
Why though, you already have the garrison. You already have a dedicated hs you can use to get there. Why turn housing into a garrison copy? Just use the garrison. It would be a waste a dev resources to replicate what already exists.
I hope for something completely different. A place that is thoroughly customizable but without utility. A dedicated hs so you can access it conveniently and perhaps a NPC for basic vendoring and repairing, since you have those vendors on mounts too, so, same difference I guess.
This would be ideal system (no loading screen). But i would be perfectly happy also with same system we now have for entering dungeons (when not using queue to teleport): on the certain location in the world there is portal you run trough and you are there. That would probably be pretty easy to do, because it could be with same tech you make dungeons and other instances. That housing would (from technical point of view) be small dungeon where instead of fighting mobs and bosses player can set and move furniture and other items and customize it being exactly what they want it to be. But no loading screen would be naturally more immersive solution!
Agreed!! I’ll be honest, when I first started playing WoW during the WoD expansion, I did pay real money for a Heart of the Aspects (hey, it’s gorgeous so bite me!! 
), I do believe that side transactions should not be a thing. Make everything available in-game.
That being said, I am happy to see that what is available to purchase outwith the subscription, is not necessary to actually playing the game and is more for aesthetics only. If this was to be extended to include anything to do with player housing, then that can only be good in my opinion.
I feel like player housing should have it’s own currency system, it’s own quests, it’s own things that have absolutely no effect on the outside world.
It should be it’s own activity and have it’s own " things ".
Farm ToGC to get a argent crusader type of furnishing, farm MGT to get blood elf type of furnishing.
Quests that reward toys, followers, stuff related to the housing it self.
And if they wanted to make it like the garrison and wanted player gold involved, then farming shouldn’t come as a free source, rather have it be as it’s own independent profession that you can work on, not just send missions or everyday go recover free resources stockpiled for you.
I’m not so keen on it having it’s own currency but I do like the idea of them being able to add content for the housing anywhere in the game. Much like we go all over the place for toys and pets etc.
This is my preference too. Just add housing items being available just like anything in this game is: drops, quest rewards, reputation and profession made. And not just boss drops but as drops everywhere.
I don’t wish separate currency or quests for the housing, it makes me feel too railroaded. Just have it be like any part of the game. Those who don’t want to do housing things can then sell boe furniture they might get as drops here and there and get gold.
You could also make it like the Music Discs from WoD and only have furniture drop for those who have unlocked player housing on that char.
I wouldn’t mind quests for unlocking each house. Let’s say I want a house on Suramar, I think it would be cool to have a little questline there to open the plot. I would be ok if it was just an achievement. Like gaining exalted rep with the faction that controls the territory, or both actually.
I would like them to add a profession to make furniture too. I mean, some things may fit with the current professions, jewelcrafting could make candelabra for instance, but I don’t see furniture, like beds and chairs, fit any of the current professions.
Housing worked very well in Ultima Online, but there were no instancing whatsoever in that game. There were basically just vast, huge landmasses where you could place your house/castle/shack and they would be visible to everyone, all the time.
Not sure how they would go about player housing in WoW. I’m guessing instancing would be the way to go, but the more important question would also be: “why would you go there?”
Personally I’d prefer it to be instanced like garrisons were. The amount of space required to house everyone on a busy server would be unreal and you end up in, there is no land left kind of issues.
In final fantasy online, there Is a block system, were each block is an instance and you can have neighbors, friends or reserve one for the guild!
It’d be cool if could have such a system, were each block is a small city, you can visit other’s public places and can only go inside if given permission etc etc, it would make for a cool small city to relax in especially when it’s a block made full of friends or a community!
