Azeroth Living: A Look at Housing Rewards

[Ellixen]

The ultimate problem is whether those still playing the game would be social enough to do 'neighborhood stuff.' If they want to have group activities be part of the housing experience (outside of all the dungeon/raid stuff they already plan on having), keeping it something like 2-3 players is best. Also, if 'neighborhood' implies that they have to be from some literal housing neighborhood, that's setting people up for failure potentially... it'd be better if the achievements/quests/whatever could be done with any person regardless of neighborhood. Getting 2-3 random players in group finder to do an activity is certainly feasible, being forced to pick 2-3 players in whatever a 'neighborhood' is could lead to unnecessary friction.

Considering how vague they're being, 'neighborhood activities' could mean anything at this point, but it wouldn't be the first time Blizz came up with an idea that shoots itself in its own foot when a less restrictive option is available. I can already see the insane scenario where people are vetting people for their 'neighborhoods' like guild recruitments because of 'neighborhood activities' if things are handled improperly.

If I remember correctly, guilds can form their own neighborhoods so I believe that would negate any sort of public neighborhood vetting. If a guild wants to vet its members for a neighborhood then eh, that's their prerogative.

I read it all with Holly Longdale's voice lol

Good stuff. Housing might be great! I really like the part where we get stuff from the past, like decade old achievements etc, not only new stuff.

Brilliant, this is turning out pretty much exactly like I'd hoped.

You mean enough for people to throw their money on fire while praising amazing design.

Great opportunity to implement some real gold sinks. Crafting mats from a vendor, you want a wooden chair that's 5g for something, you want a golden toilet that 5.000g for the lid.

I guess that would make it a great success wouldn't it

More likely a S3 dungeon

Well, you see... when you open up the dungeon journal, "Seat" is the one that pops up in the further-most left position, so in reality the screenshot is just an example of a dev opening the dungeon journal and who the fuck am I kidding? I'm just making shit up. We're getting Seat in S3.









Fuck.

I hope I can put the picture of the lady laying down in my wow house, or will bowls of fruit be the only option?

[For_The_Horde]

Oh fun. You can craft decorations from old world mats. That would have been wonderful if BLIZZARD DIDN'T WIPE MY GUILD BANKS. Still waiting on that promised restoration btw. Its only been like 8 months now. I'm sure they haven't swept the whole thing under the rug. They wouldn't do that to tens of thousands of players.
