I’m kinda meh about it …
From one side it is nice that it is not a rat race being reset every season , so you can collect and customize it as you want .
But on the other side , what are you gonna do there ? Sit there watching the pain dry ?
Think about it , you are sitting at home playing a game (probably alone) , to sit in a virtual home , probably alone . I mean … What ?!?
I did not see anything that you can actually do in there . There is no bank , ah , profession tables , portals . Nothing really . Is there even trade chat so you can spam messages or smth ?
At least they could add 3D virtual reality support or something and put a TV in there so you can watch youtube , sitting in your chair in game , while watching the screen , sitting in your chain at home … 
If the Matrix was not real , we will certainly make it happen . And than we will build a matrix inside the matrix .
Housing in a nutshell.
I don’t get why people that don’t like housing aren’t just ignoring it.
Blitz already said there is no player power behind it so everyone that doesn’t like housing can act like it never happened
I’ll spend an hour on it and then proceed to try and ignore it to the absolute best of my ability as Blizzard tries to jam it down my throat throughout the entirety of my game experience.
If you think this is not going to be front and center of Midnight and permeate the entire expansion with a design that constantly reminds you of its existence and nudges you toward it, then I have a seaside resort vacation in Switzerland to sell you.
It doesn’t work like that.
I was the only one of my siblings who got their own PS2. My other siblings who had to share still talk about it now.
Imagine my ma saying “Just pretend Gloober and his PS2 never existed”
I of course had no issue with the fact I didn’t have to share my PS2. People hate when they think resource that could be used on them are wasted on someone/thing they feel is undeserving.
But that is what happened with every new feature and what will happen with everyone new feature in the future.
Ofcourse the Devs will try to get as many people to use the new feature and ofcourse since it’s new it there will be a bunch of stuff for it at every corner.
It was the same with pet battles.
For some time you had pets thrown at you
Yeah, I would like to remain unhoused in Midnight. I really hope I am not forced to it.
I was thinking that.
Are you also selling any bridges?
What I regret is that they didn’t think about making guild housing (to make a village), and above all, they didn’t think of an option to do PvP and attack other houses, that would have been really great
Well you can have y guild village.
Your guild can make a neighborhood only for members.
Sure, but that also makes the simple advice to just ignore it rather ignorant of the reality that this is a major feature that will flood the game like a tsunami - and there’s no ignoring that.
There’ll be a World of Warcraft before Housing and a World of Warcraft after Housing. And there’ll be no pretending otherwise. The scope and outlook of the feature that Blizzard have outlined makes that pretty obvious.
To say it’ll be a game changer would be an understatement.
Yes, but I had thought of a community concept with votes (at the town hall), PvP assaults, a horse enclosure ing a lively aspect, not just cosmetic.
May not be for everyone, but if it’s anything like other games with similar features people will exclusively play just for the building and housing.
The vast majority want it and they will cater to them because that’s how you run a business.
You do care about it and it literally upsets you, and you will keep going on about it, if you where indifferent and didn’t care that much you wouldn’t post.
Its going to be front and centre for the next decade and i will even bet its going to be liked by the majority, and be massive, their biggest feature ever,
I don’t raid anymore so i just ignore everything to do with raiding, and it works really well.
It’s way for them to make old content relevant again making the achievement community bigger collectors bigger also to reward players that have actively participated in the years of content they have progressed through it’s a extra thing on top of
Everything else this won’t impact your experience if you don’t care for it so the discussion is really irrelevant.
Blizzard by their own admission had been trying to make it work for years but never got it far enough until a recent breakthrough and with how thorough everything looks yeah I dont think they’re just saying it for the sake of saying it. So they obviously feel different about it.
I am indifferent too its not a feature I would say I feel like wow misses but I can look at what they’re implementing and appreciate the extensiveness of it, any more freedom and they’d have to release their dev toolkits, thats impressive.
I hope they dont make the mistake of making seperate profession KP trees, would prefer something like smithing > weapons > bladed getting milestones added to teach you how to craft decorative bladed weapons for your housing.
This way it wont interupt or bloat the KP farm for crafting professions which is already pretty bloated
Yeah, i never understood the appeal for housing, not to me anyway, in every game that i played and had it i ignored it, only in Lost Ark i did the bare minimum to unlock stuff that i needed.
I just like posting on the forums out of habit. Don’t overanalyze my motivations for “caring”. Right now I care to reply to your post because I’m waiting for my food to finish cooking, and in the meantime I’m wasting time on my phone. There’s rarely more to it than that.
From what I’ve seen and heard from the content creators that have had the opportunity to try out Housing, and the interviews they did, it sounds like Blizzard has a bit more to reveal with regards to gameplay, but they’re keeping it a secret still. They got some aces up their sleeve, presumably, and aren’t quite ready to reveal what’s behind the curtain. Suffice to say there’ll be more to Housing than what they’ve so far revealed, I think.
I also think it’s a bit naive to think that Blizzard will be satisfied with designing Housing as being optional and neutral in presentation and experience.
I think they really want lots of people to be into Housing, and so they’re going to push the design as far as they can toward achieving that, shy of forcing people into it. And they’re going to present it with all the fireworks and fanfare that such a major feature deserves. I think anything else would be crazy.
