It isn’t much of a discussion since Sendryn is being stubborn as they usually are. Although I do wonder who between me and Sendryn who is really the most stubborn sometimes…
I went and took a look at it, and unless they specify later on that they specifically didn’t want to create a player housing system … isn’t all what they are saying “We didn’t want basic housing where you pick the colour of the curtains”?
Started skimming through it but it doesn’t seem like they indicate much if anything beyond that. Doesn’t seem to be anything about it not being intended as player housing, just not the type in which you have control over minute details. So something more akin to player housing on a base-level rather than a housing-level. To borrow the terminology that they were using.
Beauty and the Beast was actually good. And I’m super critical of that one, because the cartoon was my absolute favorite— the original version before they fixed his stuttering voice line in one spot. That’s how critical I was. lol
We never wanted just basic housing where you could just pick up a color or have certain NPCs be around. We wanted something that change the gameplay. And this expansion kind of offers that perfect time to do that. Come through the portal, can’t get back. We have to establish a base on Draenor.
I think this quote is pretty clear. They didn’t want traditional player housing, where you just decorate it, they wanted to give us a base that changed the gameplay.
It is another form or type of player housing (or in this case I guess… “player base:ing”? Doesn’t work quite as well). Just not one that played out particularly well.
