Did Garrisons teach you nothing?
You want a private isntance that you can place a chair and a table down in for what reason? Just to have an area to ship spin in?
I cannot possibly imagine what you think this will add to the game, it’s just another feature that will be immediately thrown to the side, ignored by 98% of the population and complained about forever.
Get real.
That lazy design is lazy? Yeah, we learned that.
If you think player housing would be anything more than whatever Garrisons were boy howdy do I have a bridge in Arizona for you
Player housing is a godsend for roleplaying, and it’s also something neat for players to focus on: A place you can truly call your own! You can make guild houses where you can have meetings, or just have a quaint private home to invite others to for some delicious ice cream!
It’s not a big thing, but it’s an immersive thing instead of just saying, “I guess I live somewhere in Stormwind or Ironforge. Despite being a SUPER CHAMPION OF AZEROTH.”
It’s a great asset for RP Communities, but otherwise, I actually agree with you.
To the average non-roleplayer, it’s a creative outlet that will get heavy use for a couple weeks to get everything set up “perfectly”… and then it’ll sit there for the rest of time because there’s no real reason to revisit it.
It’s the kind of feature that I think would be nice to have, but it’s something that needed to be in the game from launch, because justifying spending the dev time to develop it from scratch within the established patch/xpack cycle we now have is basically impossible. If it already existed and patches just threw a handful of new craftable decoration items in or something, that’d be totally fine. But that’s not where we are in the game. It’d be a massive undertaking that doesn’t provide any “normal” content for average players.
Oh we know if they actually added it, it would be different. As they already stated that doing so would require them to scrape an entire raid season just to get it started in a manner they would find acceptable. They clearly know that they can’t do another “garrison”, which is why they are not big on doing it to begin with.
I want beach house in Tanaris.
I’ve spent hours decorating and designing locations within ESO’s housing system. I’ve built numerous complex, custom towns for people’s guilds.
I’ve done the same on FFXIV (without the towns, their system blows pretty hard), and between both games I have enjoyed so much downtime going to people’s events.
Housing lets you fill in space, show off your achievements, [insert whatever game mechanic available IE crafting stations, raid dummies etc], but most of all it keeps crafting professions relevant.
It’ll give a lot of players a reason to invest more time in the game so they can collect things for their house.
I dunno why it is that every game with good basebuilding has to be some indie thing (No Man’s Sky, Valheim, Ark, etc). I have hopes for Starfield at least.
I’m pretty much over it in WoW though. We’ll all be murderhobos until we keel over from old age.
Why are some people so obsessed with Mythic+? Weesons…
I loved garrisons.
Role-playing. For me, the entire purpose behind playing World of WarCraft.
It will add housing to the game.
Everything they add is just another feature.
Many of the cool things from each expansion are thrown to the side when the expansion ends - artifact weapons, for example.
I doubt it, but I also don’t care what you ignore or how many of you ignore it. I have no interest in keeping you entertained.
Everything is complained about forever. I’m still complaining about no dance studios when they were promised on the Wrath box, and about level scaling, and about nerfs to size enhancement buffs, and about my favorite quests being changed so “damsels” became “citizens,” thus ruining the quest completely, and about fun /silly and /flirt lines being removed, and about the Big Pink Love Rocket being renamed. I will continue to complain about all of this stuff until I am dead. This cannot be helped.
Nothing is real.
It’s not because Blizzard is bad at it that players shouldn’t want it.
Else we wouldn’t get much of anything.
inb4 Garrisons aren’t player housing
Why do people play Sims or SimCity 
people like to build.
I’m a collector 
What I would want from player housing is more stuff to collect 
Say every zone in the game has a furniture set
Every instance has idk new drapes
Lot of things could be added to collect.
So pet battles? 
Sounds good to me
I have a question, was this a “I want player housing” thread, dressed up as a bait thread to get people grumbling about player housing?
the feature should of been implemented so many expansions ago.
but being blizzard they just make up excuses, shows how lazy they are.
be nice if they actually put something GOOD in…
but they can’t even git gud at their jobs.
i agree wholeheartedly but there is a sizable portion of mmo playerbase that loves player housing and all that goes with it - i will never understand it but there is a lot i dont understand
So if you could make gold with a furniture profession it would be a waste because 98% of the population would ignore it? Interesting.
Blizz has addressed player housing before; they said (paraphrasing) “If we did it we’d want to do it right, it would take a lot of man hours to do”. Which I would assume means “don’t expect anything else in the meantime” .
That’s only true if they never add anything to it.
