shhhhhh let them in their shiny bubble. The answer will be always: “its a group game!”
If they bring the garrison back and do this by making the enterance in the main cities - its meeting the requirement for player housing halfway. Customization etc can come later. I particularly liked the functionality of the garrisons and prefer this far more than the customization options.
i think they could put both. many ppl like diff things. functionality is wod was (is because im using that still today) very good. but also customization was really wide.
So why dont introduce again both?
Cause we want to ease them into it. Then start banging on them for more features
I do apologise, I just didn’t want to assume raiders interests, however you are right even back in Dark Age of Camelot boss trophies were hugely popular.
I tend to view housing as a large part of PVE content, often for those that like to collect, construct their own mogs, the creative people who impose their narrative and personality on the world.
While those who raid tend to beat to a different drum, however a very stereotypical view, I must not be so blinkered myself
I am happy there is no housing…
Plenty of MMORPG’s tried it and it always ends up in .
Please create less instanced content instead off more.
Thank you
Give me my Wildhammer hobbit hole!
they already said there won’t be player housing for at least a couple more expansions
a pity. as a no dungeon runner im running out of old content to fill the last months of xpack.
Trouble is if they procrastinate too long by the time it becomes a feature it won’t excite anyone. They already have the basics for it. They can reimplement it then focus on expanding it.
Garrisons was nothing like any player house ive seen in other games, its more like clash of clans where you build a army base.
A housing should be a place where you decorate a house (the house can share similar models we have seen to houses in-game like the houses of Eversong woods) and then add objects inside and decorate it.
what would be a plus, is to add NPC’s in there as well that you create yourself, so your house wouldnt be empty when someone visits, but has NPC’s in there too that could be helpful for RP. similar to the sims, i guess. each NPC has a message when you click on them that you yourself write. for example you can create a sister for your character, a brother, a mother, or even a wife. would be amazing for RP or even just a fun thing that makes your character feel more alive, and have a backstory and a family.

also before creating player housing Blizzard needs to fix some missing issues right now.
-
Missing heritage armor for the rest of the races
-
Missing customization update for Vulpera, Zandalari, Kul tiran, Dark iron, and Mechagnomes.
-
Fix the broken/bugged quest to obtain the [N’lyeth, Sliver of N’Zoth ] which has been broken since the beggining of Shadowlands.
Blizzard has many things to do, that they are slow, and i mean very slow to fix. For that reason, i doubt player housing is coming any time soon.
isnt just this. you cant still fly in silvermoon. the ambassadors are still roaming in the city. gilneas is in a limbo. and many many more.
Oh no. Oh no no no.
It really was NOT. It was a ‘good attempt at a gaming system’.
But it was not housing. Not even close.
Agreed.
Yeah. It’s sad. Maybe, just maybe, with the increased work force they can start catching up with their backlog of stuff.
A few years ago (I think just before BFA, during prepatch) someone made a thread about player housing with the idea of using unused city spaces like gilneas for them with the idea of having open spaces for players to use as markets for crafted items we can use in our houses, so tailors could make soft furnishings etc and alchemists could sell dyes. Was a really well thought out idea.
I guess the idea could be expanded with a new lordaeron and “teldrassil” perhaps one for horde, one for alliance and one neutral with players houses and open places for player interaction too.
great idea. as long as there is somehow space for everyone. Not like FF14 where you have to wait for a space to be availabe.
this is really weird in that game.
Almost 20years of asking they reply with…. TLDR: No. but it excites them…. Sounds very pacifying imho and goes a long way to show that there hasn’t been any change in their view of player needs
I would love it if the only part of an expansion was player housing and nothing else!! Housing is such a huge time sink and they have a lot of the furniture designs already made…
If I remember correctly their suggestion was to make it phased to 40 players so you would have your house in the zone with 39 other players and each phase would have 40 players, of course it could be more if the servers could handle it but everyone would have a house/space and be able to trade on the market.
