Part 6 of my posts to try and get D4 improved. I am going to post one-three ideas per day for a month then post a table of contents at the end. Hopefully these can gain some upvotes and dev attention or comment! I was going to just do one post but it would have been way too big. Please upvote and keep it positive guys!!
Players can now build their own personal safezone. Think of this like a PoE hideout. This is introduced overtime as series of 10 quests showing how to do it and upon completion of all 10 quests will give the player a random basic version of each component. Players can choose to town portal always to their safezone.
New drops are added to the game that support this known as components. These have different rarity and some Higher rarity components are better and more powerful. There are 10 cosmetic / base versions of each component. This base version is what the component looks like or its theme but has no effect on its function like rarity.
Players can visit other players safezones and shop their vendors (blacksmith jeweler pawn shop bazaar ect) They can buy directly from Bazaar or use a black market vendor. Using the black market vendor costs 5% fee. A black market vendor is located in each main city.
The Safezone itself is a component and is chosen on quest 1 of the quest series and other Safezone base components drop as well but they have no rarity. There are just 30 different ones. Think of the safezone component as what your hideout will look like, size, and where you can place other components. All safezones contain a placeable component blacksmith, occulist, jeweler, ect that you do not need to find as a drop. Other versions of these basic vendors like blacksmith exist as cosmetic changes and are not listed in my list of components. Your safezone is account wide. You can only make 1. Dropped components are tradeable!
You want to make your safezone well known as the top 20 visited safezones from different accounts each day gain extra gold, a random legendary item (chance for unique), gems, components, and other prizes!
