Crafting Coziness Panel -- Thanks!

Gameplay Housing
1

I watched the Crafting Coziness panel, a deep dive into some of the technical aspects of developing the housing system, and was inspired to give a personal note of thanks to everyone involved in that panel (Jay, Joanna, Kat, and Taylor) as well as the rest of the team behind the scenes involved for making such a wonderful and insightful presentation!

The insight into how much work went into making housing a reality was really enlightening. It’s easy to play with a major new feature like this and overlook the years of work it took to bring systems into the game that the engine was never meant to handle.

I really encourage anyone remotely interested in housing to watch this panel!

Housing has been for me one of if not the most exciting feature to come to WoW.

I started off tinkering with making a cozy, modest house for my main character, and in the last six months it’s sprawled into a pair of mansions for all of my characters. I absolutely love spending spare time in-game just being creative (in fact, I’ve had to discipline myself not to enter either of my houses after a certain time in the evening or else I’ll be up another couple of hours lost in decor tinkering).

So, a heartfelt thank you to the team involved with making housing a reality!

I’m very much looking forward to seeing where the system goes from here.

They really should add a clock to the house editing UI. I set out to just ‘fix’ a couple of things and the next thing I know, I’ve spent 3 hours on one of my houses.

The “Plumber” addon has that, (changes the edit button to a clock), and quite a few other UI enhancements for housing and the whole rest of the interface.

Yup, running Plumber and a few other housing addons myself, and I can tell you now:

Yes, the clock works. With some you can even specify a digital or an old face-type clock. :four_o_clock:

No, it will not stop “just a few minutes before logging out” from turning into “oh sh.., it’s 1AM already!” :face_savoring_food:

But neither does the bedtime reminder on my phone. :dracthyr_shrug: :wink:

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. I wish there was more talk about new class/race decor and exteriors, but I get it if they aren’t ready yet.

I found myself oddly…semi…emotional when they had the little montage of things we have all made with a few of the youtubers being excited too, it was pretty cool to see.

I would probably listen to a couple hours of those four talking about everything, it was pretty interesting. My only disappointment was them not talking about the things I specifically want, lol.
