What would be a good idea is to have your own house!!

The home area could be in the Guild hall area, each member of a guild could have there own little house to store there items and to chill and chat to guild members, a place where you could all have a drink and dance without taking any hassle off people.

There could even be an area in the guild hall where all the guild members have access to items which your willing to share ( but only for those who have been in the guild for some time )

What yeh think ???

bugger lol

Aww well nevermind

Could do with a bigger storage though.

I always try to push for the concept of Home = Loading Screen (the part where you pick your character when you log in) Now, add the ablity to rotate the camera around, able to get new decolrations and differnt style of house, and some interaction between your standing character to the enviorment, and you got your self a self-only house.

LETS BUILD OBER ORR MUHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!

lol would be cool though if we did have our own places

Kirbie · Dec 24, 2005, 11:30 PM // 23:30

I've been support this house idea; but not sure about house built inside the guildhall though.
If a person decides to leave a guild, any excessive items(the items you stored in guild house) would have no place to go(if your inventory bag is near full).

I really like loading screen house idea which actionjack has mentioned above. ^^
Or we could have small personalized house shared by all characters in an account...maybe something like...mini-guildhall(with storage area and stuff)

Anyways...I like core idea of having a personalized house/space for an account

The Guild Hall is my home.

That box in the corner of the room is my bedroom.

That yellow jar in the narrow hallway is my bathroom.

Leave the stupid MMORPG shit out of Guild Wars please.

Rayea · Dec 25, 2005, 10:53 PM // 22:53

spoken like an actipn player....*shakes head*

look, if you dont like something....
*shocked expresion* you know you just.....
DONT USE IT!!!

i dont use PvP, but should i whine and cry about having it removed? No.
i leave it the frell alone, and let those that enjoy it have it to themselves.

simplest answer is to make homes part of an add on thats rpg fan based.
nothing in it that pvp or action only players will miss.
stuff like player run craftin, taverns, fishing ect.

if you dont want it, ou just dont buy the add on.
and those that dont want a gambling house, a fight pit (that much whined for 1v1) and apmitheater to watch said battles in, well they just dont buy the PvP baised one.

a good way to do homes, while keeping them to a minimum would be like in neverwinter.
a town has a small, medium and large player dwelling.
you just buy a deed and a key to a small to large and keep it on you.
its no drop, no transfer and can only be sold to the house seller (so you can upgrade)

if you want to go in, simply use the door of the same size as your key.
if someone else is using the same door, you cant get in.
you could alowe your party in, but that would be all, i guess.

have an item limit of furniture per size dwelling.
all items are recorded on the tital deed. they are sold at 2nd hand price when you sell the house.
you just buy a biger or smaller one then buy the furniture again.

just cause some of us want a place of our own, and must forgoe a huge guildhall because were casuals, dosent mean we dont want to colect what we think is cool stuff too.
few casual players will own a set of that ecto-swallowing, gold farmer-selling to get hands on armour.

and a lot of RPGers are here of GW BEACAUSE we can be casuals.
as you get older, get a job or a family or a sickness ect, you have less time for online games. your love of rpg does not lessen, but the time you have to play them DOES.
theres drinks to be drunk, kiddies to be put to bed and jobs to be slogged through befor you can get back and gather your party to venture forth ^^
some people have partners and social lives too, other than their PCs and online buddies.

sides...have ye never heard of 'if you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything, same goes if its not consturctive'?

Haha as a matter of fact I have, and it's mindless ridiculousness. I guess we would all just have to keep quiet about people like Hitler eh? We wouldn't want to be rude to him, now would we? *guffaw* People never think about these vapid sayings before repeating them.

Anyway.

I bought this game because I thought it was going to be an action oriented, PvP-heavy game. This is what the beta events and E3 for Everyone led me to believe.

Would I be happy if I found out the developers are wasting precious time on completely useless things like homes and fishing instead of adding new PvP content? HELL NO. Since you aren't a PvP player, perhaps you haven't noticed that there's been NO new PvP content added to this game since release. Compare that to the constant PvE updates (Sorrow's Furnace, etc.) This game is not supposed to be an MMORPG. It is supposed to be (in the developpers' own words) a Competitive Online RPG. Competitive = PvP.

So do I have a right to be angry about any developments that move this game away from what I was led to believe it would be into a Ultima Online-esque glorified chatbox? HELL YES. Seriously, if you want these things so bad, why don't you go play the games that have it, instead of trying to doom Guildwars into a steam pile of care-bear crap. I have a busy life too, and Guildwars is the only game I play, for more than 6 months now. Don't ruin the game I bought.

i think a house or player-owned shops could be interesting, albeit a lot of work&upkeep.

Rayea · Dec 26, 2005, 02:09 AM // 02:09

riiiight.......

so, all those skills that were fixed, all those bugs, like the one that stopped pvp only players from getting into the snowball fight,
or geting turfed onto the startup screen,
or having invalid armour were not pvp content?

competetive means player verses player TO YOU.
dont presume to speak for all the devs at the software house.
besides....you looked at the word competetive, and compleately forgot about the RPG you typed on the end.

that means that if some of us wanna roleplay, its our right to.
besides, they are all slaving away (after the holiday season is over for them too) on part 2.

that means more pvp for you lot, just as it means more rpg for us lot

just cause one thing on this forum made it to the game for the holidays does not mean that they do everything we say they should.

when you mean no new pvp content, you mean no new skill, no new wepons, no new arenas ect.
thats not free content. it chapter content, and you would have to pay for it like we would have to pay for our homes and out fishing.

if you dont like rpg crap, then dont go near it.
sign the petition for rpg districts, then we crappy RPGers will be seperated from your leet dude PvP fans.
then start your own for pvp only districts, where only pvp only characters may enter, and non of the non pvp only players cant get inot.

do something usefull, and sugest something to the devs rather than just shooting any sugestion you dont agree with down.

guildwars in the only game I play too. since it came out here in the uk. and i came here cause i wanted a game that i could pick up and play without having to be constantly in character, but could roleplay if i wanted to.

we dont want 100% RPG content.
you lot might want 100% pvp though, but the devs and the owners and the moneymen know that will cost them in the long run

i could say to you, fine, if you want action and no rp, then go play dungeounsege or RF online....or the action server on neverwinter, they dont even know what the word roleplay is.

truthfully, we al of us that thought the game, we thought it was going to be more what we thought and hoped, not what we got.
we looked at the clames and the box with rose glasses on, anbd saw what we wanted to see.
PvP players saw unlimited playerVplayer possabilites
RPers saw a whole living, breathing world, full of new guys to go 'well met' to.
and those in between saw a bit of both in it.

they were closest to the truth, and theres no way to seperate it into pvp or rp, unless, that is, you have a few million dollars you can throw at NC soft and A net to buy them out and kill off the shtick you hate?

Nope. Since when where bug fixes or skill balances content? That's right, never. Compare that to Sorrow's freaking Furnace and tell me with a straight face that these can be included in the same category. I'll give them Observer Mode though, that rocks.

And I don't want just action, I want PvP action. Infinitely better than fighting dumb AI.

Funk_Styles · Dec 26, 2005, 07:59 AM // 07:59

homes? NO, i dig the nomadic feel of the game

Me too. I wouldn't mind if it was added, I just wouldn't use it myself.

DJ Josh · Dec 26, 2005, 09:51 AM // 09:51

if your pvp only stay out of the rp threads same for rp only + its pvp that gets all the big events and comps like wc which apparently as real prizes to be won.also check the update log on official site to remind yourself just how much each oppossing faction has been given.

anyhow love the idea of being able to buy my own pad,i would finaly have somewhere to take alesia and lina after our dates.but seriously i have always liked extras in my games be it collectibles or mini games and have done previous threads with ideas all shot down by guess who, yep, pvp only guys.still pushing for collectible character cards with yu-gi-oh style battle system and a tavern to play them in.

legendel · Dec 26, 2005, 10:20 AM // 10:20

Yeah, having a house would be nice, but as perople have said it may be difficult to program. If we cant have something like this, somewhere to store "ALL" of our crap would be nice, and i dont mean having all 4 charachters full and swapping stuff all the time.

Nice idea though, i loved my house in SWG

Rayea · Dec 26, 2005, 08:32 PM // 20:32

hm..duno about a ccg here..i can see it degenerating into strip poker with a 3 charr pair beating an alessia in the hand ^^

its mostly a script from what i know, though i have only had homes in neverwinter.
there they were just a script that was added to the version that was running on the server, so i guess it is possible.

sides, most peeps are right now begging a net to leave the snowball fights in after wintersday....
i guess since its only snow and all, its not realy pvp proper, hmm?
that is going to draw in non pvp players more than shoving arenas down thier throat and screaming for pve to be abolished..
(and i have never seen a pve-only player scream that pvp is a total waste of time, and should be totaly yanked from the game...unlike pvp-only, who yell for that from time to time)

.

that is your fault not Anets.

you played the part of the game you wanted to and completely ignored the rest.

since my friends and i only played pvp it has to be a pvp game.

guess what?

there is a heavy pve content which is only going to be heavier in chapter 2
