Curse

The problem with storage in the game has gotten just about ridiculous. Yes, the extra storage for materials was nice, but it doesn't really help a heck of a whole lot.

The problem is I'm a collector. I collect Green items, and if I had the space I'd have various suits of armour.

Cantha has a massive city, many parts of which are unexplorable.

Why not add an extra district and turn it into a residential area where different apartment/housing complexes are available for purchase. (forget renting, that's just not fair in this game)

Depending on how many maxed titles a player has, or fame, or both, depends on which of the more desirable locations the player is able to choose from, the more desireable, the more space available.

When buying a property the player can pay to get it furnished, but more than that, he or she can decorate it, with screenshots turned into framed pictures for example, or scalps and heads of vanquished foes.

There would be mannequins and wardrobes to house suits of armour, and weapons cabinets with labels so that prized greens or golds can be displayed and kept.

Does anyone else want something like this?

More storage: yes.

Houses: no.

There have been a couple suggestions to have personal rooms in the guild hall which were quite similar to this.

Awesome Nuke · Oct 16, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

I agree some kind of personnal area within the guild hall could be interesting.. Houses might not be the best ideas though. Though it should work just like the guild lord, you buy expansions for your 'zone'. These would have to cost a lot (similar to guild upgrades.. ranging from few plats to 150+)

This would give Roleplayers (PvE) some kind of mid achievement objective, because as of right now, the only 'Real' goal that can be achieved is the FoW armor. It could be account based so all your caracters have access to it. You could buy extra storage spaces, different visual looks for your area to improve its look.

So overall:

- One more gold sink that might interest more people than the FoW armor, cause personally I dont really plan to get it, its not that good for its price.
- More customisation for PvE players, might even improve replayability (just make it so some upgrades require collector items from various spots in the GW world)
- Brings more personnality to someone's caracter/account. Right now the only place we have to gather between friends is the guild hall, and it serves no purposes besides GvG right now. That twist would add variety to guild halls and to the world in general.

Just my 2 cents

Almost sounds like the sims

I like a lot of what you have to say. I agree with your concept of it.

My only thoughts on making it a Guild Hall expanded area is what happens when you either switch guilds, or if you leave a guild entirely?

I would like a personal area (people can only be invited by you, or you could give out customized keys that close friends could use) that you could store things in. It could have tables, chairs, and other buyable upgrades (like NPCs) but would be significantly smaller than the guild hall.

I don't know if a-net would ever go with such a feature though, as their focus seems to be "COMBAT COMBAT COMBAT" in this game. God forbid we ever have something to do that doesn't involve clubbing some monstrosity over the head and looting it's dismembered body. Sigh.

Really good idea. Especially if you want to meet with friends who aren't in the same guild as you. You can have a private conversation and trade items in peace. Though these private residences would likely be expensive and would vary in quality. I'm a poor Tyrian Necro so I'd likely only be able to afford a small masoleum while a richer Necro would have a sizable grotto somewhere. Also, you should have the option to rent OR own. If your finances are on the rise you may not want to commit to a piece of real estate.

I'd love to have a cave in the Shiverpeaks. Those Stone Summit guys are so cute!

Well I just came up with it quite fast

More thoughts could be put into this, like there could be a NPC in the Guild Hall (with a boat) that can bring you to a private island assigned to every member of a guild.

=- Talk to Npc
=- See a list of the members with 'islands' or zones
=- Click on it
=- You get taken to a small island with your zone

From the 'read first' thread, which you haven't seem to have done.

Quote:

* Always use the search button before posting a new thread to see if your ideas been suggested before.
* Always check the stickied Index of Ideas to see if your idea can be found in there.
* If your idea is a slight change of another suggestion that's already been suggested, don't post a new thread on it, post it in the existing thread and continue the discussion over the general idea.
* Make sure your thread titles list your idea. Don't post threads with vague titles like "Greatest Suggestion Yet" when only in your post do you discuss your suggestion. Make sure your thread title states your idea, to keep things organized and less confusing.
* The practice of posting simple 'bumps' to threads is discouraged here, and threads seen being 'bumped' without good reason and nothing new to add, will be closed. If you are going to 'bump' a thread, do so after a reasonable amount of time, and let your 'bump' post contribute something to the thread rather than simply taking the thread up to the top of the forum.
* Do not post "A Few Ideas" threads. If you have more than one idea ---first double check with the search button and the index thread to make sure they're fresh suggestions, and create a seperate thread for each one with a relevant title.
* If you don't feel like creating a seperate thread for each suggestion you have, post all of them in the Index of Ideas thread stickied at the top of the forum.
* Of course, keep this to suggestions only. Not builds, not rants or PvP vs PvE discussions, etc. This is the suggestions forum.
* Use the Search Button and check the Index thread to make sure you're not repeating an idea.
* Do it again.

Notice how they list searching as the first thing to do, and then goes on to list it twice more.

Player housing has been suggested before, as have weapons cabinets.

It's no skin off your back if we discuss player housing here. Better here than some 1000 page thread archive made in 2002.

Maybe you could actually contribute something more substantive than the literary equivalent of "OMFG USE TEH SERCH BUTTON N0OB"

Well, that thread is full of "guidelines", which here are more like rules, that you need to follow.
Not following them will always result in a post like his, except generally they're rude, unlike his was.
Please read the stickies in the future, it saves the Moderators and Administrators the trouble of having to close, merge, or delete threads.

Cyclades of Knossos · Oct 16, 2006, 09:03 PM // 21:03

Well, my bad.

To be perfectly honest about it I post here and at another GW site that has the same colour scheme and I wasn't paying attention to the fact I'd switched boards.

Anyhoo, the sugestions of not normal housing are great.
