12.1.0 housing PTR notes

I haven’t seen any more shop exteriors previewed but I would image that there will be at least one planned for one of their summer themes. I do want some of the Seaside theme stuff I’ve seen but I’m not likely to buy an exterior.

There is a fall decor shop pack that has just been datamined. There are two housing exteriors attached to it, from what we can see (no images on the exteriors yet).

Yeah just did a search and saw a tweet with a screenshot of the file names.

So uh… I guess we have that to look forward to. /s

Hello! This is a really good example of how initial datamining can be a bit misleading. While yes, there is a new exterior coming (and probably more in the future), the particular exterior found in PTR files will not be released in the Shop. It will be available for players to earn within the game.

We’ll let you know more when it’s ready for testing/release. Thanks!

Well I for one am delighted to be wrong! Good boost for morale along with the updates coming, so thank you for not letting us stew.

I’m glad real-money Treehouse months ago caused enough backlash to force them present more play-to-earn house exterior.

We need a Torghast/maw themed housing exterior as soon as the devs have time, thanks!

Huh, you guys actually listened to the backlash

Not sure about a fall themed exterior as opposed to racial exteriors like a troll, Pandaren or draconic one… but, earnable exteriors will always be better then real money ones. We already pay for expansions and a sub, afterall

Thank you for the update! I’m also super happy to be wrong and excited about new stuff we can earn in game!

On the blueprints - how does it treat an expanded empty stairwell room? I have a 3 level staircase room that I would like to save. Will that be possible? I know there are people with empty stairwell rooms that have been expanded to 4+ levels as well.

Honestly, I’d rather I was available in the shop. You’ve succeeded in making the house xp process so agonizingly slow and tedious that I’d gladly swipe my credit card to make it go faster… which I am assuming was the intent. :hot_beverage: :frog:

(and probably more in the future)

Hope probably is colloquialism for definitely.

Bro what?? I’ve been at max level housing for months and the vast majority of the xp came from buying decor, not endeavors. I think I only have about half of what’s available. Maybe two thirds. If you play the game and collect decor you should have no problem at all hitting level 9.

This is so funny for multiple reasons. First, you all allow datamining because it’s just another crumb to keep people hooked. Second, if you label something SHOP then people will rightfully assume it’s shop. Especially when this game is riddled with shop slop. Another tone deaf failed attempt at damage control by Kaivax as per usual. BTW, how is that Haranir armor clipping “top priority” coming along my guy?

Last I checked for stairwell empty rooms, it’s only copying the bottom half. The part of the wall where it splits top and bottom, top portion does not save.

You clearly have no idea what’s in store do you? They’re bumping up the house level by only 3 levels but you’re less than half way there at lvl 9 and there aren’t anymore items to purchase for xp. Also the reason you got most of your house xp by buying items instead of earning it through endeavors is precisely because the system is designed to encourage that so you spend more gold and are consequently more likely to buy a WoW Token. The fact that so many people are completely oblivious to these shenanigans just explains why Blizz keep shamelessly pushing them on us.
