Now that housing is more openly testable I am having a lot of fun with it and there’s a lot of potential. I think there are some things that could be added in future patches that I’d like to suggest:
Housing Loadouts: I think one key issue currently is there no easy way to swap houses and some people have different ideas of what house their different characters would have. For example for my main I’d want a Draenei themed house favoring decor from that race but for my druid I’d want something more night elf. If there was a way to save a house loadout of the exterior/interior I think that would be cool.
Another use for this would be for roleplayers to crate different interior buildings for roleplay. For example I’ve seen some creative use where some players even made a cave in their house. That is cool for having an roleplaying adventure in. The problem lies in that it takes the place of your house and I hope there is an easy way to say swap between your home and something you want to use for an RP campaign with friends.
New Areas: I am pleased with the different biomes that both neighborhoods have. I’m glad the Razorwind shore went with a lot of tropical areas too. I do hope there is some more added in the future. I am assuming no new neighborhood maps will be added.
So for example in the mouintains of Founder’s Point I think a snowy area could be added with a Dun Morogh vibe. Then in Razorwind Shores there could be some floating rocks that have houses on them to evoke a Nagrand feel. Have it be explained as shamans or an aftermath of a Primalist attack in pre-patch.
More Exterior Options: I am glad human. orc. blood elf and night elf are going to be in at launch since those are the top 4 most played races. I do hope this will be expanded over time like how Heritage sets were and for every core race up to Pandaren to receiving a their own housing exterior. I think that would take a few years but well worth it to add a variety of house choices.
Interior designs: I would love to see more options for the interior of houses. Things like wallpaper or painting the walls a different color. Deciding if the floor is hardwood or if it is made of stone I think would be nice choices for races to show their differences and add immersion.
