I think my largest concern on this front is the amount of excitement/praise DF is getting re: what it is NOT putting in the expac vs. what IS being included.
Meanwhile, after all the outrage, the new listening Blizzard can’t even be bothered to respond to the Slime Cat business.
They did respond. They clarified how it will be available and then reworded the tooltip to make it clearer.

Doesn’t matter if it would ruin the game’s premise, balance and group gaming core. A guy on GD said he wants to dungeons to have solo mode with a badge for clearing them and to be able to buy mythic raid loot from the badge vendor.
Blizz has to implement that or it’s ignoring player feedbackkkk!!! THE HORROR!
If I get player housing then I want a small little house in my BE starting zone. Every race should be able to have and it be right in their starting zone. And no hearthstone to it. Just a portal to it.
Agreed. I want a home in Mulgore.

I wouldn’t mind player housing I’ll even pay extra for a plot of land.

it’s a smart move. They changed their mind to increase Normal raid participation and it’s working. Nothing they can say short of total capitulation will give the diehard LFR slimecat lobby any relief.
definitely the first time we’ve heard that.
Because it doesn’t want to and I’m glad because I don’t want WoW to have player housing.
Source? A majority of players HATED garrisons and how they killed an expac. No way a majority wants to go down that route again.
Would probably help if they hadn’t fired a bunch of people. Or with the resources they do have monetarily, hire on some more devs maybe?
Garrisons were a poor execution of their excuse for player housing. Not really player housing. As for sources, oh I dunno, how about the dev streams when people asked for or about it, or the numerous threads on forums asking for or about it?
It’s actually a lot of fun if you can get access to a house. The keyword being “if” there lol. I have seen people do some amazing things with housing in FFXIV. For example, there’s a group of players on the Crystal data center that turned their FC house into a theatre and hosts plays there every few months. They’ve done ones like A Christmas Carol and Phantom of the Opera, all of which have been surprisingly good. They get really creative with the housing system when changing the sets or tweaking things like music and lighting. Given all the things you can do with FFXIV housing, it’s honestly a shame that the limited plot situation has become such a big issue over the years. It’s a neat system that very few people get access to.
I think WoW would be perfect for the ESO style of housing ngl. The only reason SE has had my sub running continuously for the last 6 years is because I got a beachfront plot. FFXIV housing absolutely did cater to the upper echelons, but ESO lets everyone get everything.
I just want a lil cottage in Duskwood.
I was making the jokes.
lack of personnel available to work on it while developing 4 difficulties pf raiding and 20 slime pets.
Throwing more people at something doesnt always help either. Also, throwing more devs for building a project doesnt give longterm positions – what happens when you finish and there is no need for that increase workteam?
Evidenced by the fact more people flame housing than request it.
Because it isn’t a big and old game with system requirements and coding aspects of it that gets in the way
I love the idea of player housing, but, I love it from the perspective of Archeage, where its a literal place players can visit, because the game was built with that in mind, and it has a small enough playerbase that it worked out
WoW is build on the idea of meeting other players and… neither SWTOR or FF14 requires that dor it to be a living world, because those games are RPGs wherein you encounter other players when going from one quest to the next, ESO is the closest blend between a RPG and a MMO, and it relies on instanced housing and… without visitors, those places feel really empty to be in
WoW requires players much the same way a game like Archeage did, but it can’t let players have that degree of freedom since obviously folks would ruin it, meaning that Garrisons are a VERY fair indication of what player housing actually entails for WoW
Sure one can improve on it, but dont expect to have anything but an instanced place to yourself with little to no player interaction, something which is required to make player housing work rather than being this random place you go to… I dunno, afk? Roleplay? Do your taxes?
But that’s why a small game can do things a big game won’t, because they can do it but it would serve absolutely no point
They just hired like 100 developers… Lol smh.
Yuck, our starting zone sucks. I’d rather be in Draenor.

Player housing is so dumb. I’m glad thats not taking up dev resources. However, agreed on Paladin trees despite your neglect to mention Holy, which needs massive help as well.
