I was shocked to read the producers notes about housing being 6 months after the release of 2.1...I was under the impression that housing was being released with 2.1... What is going on?
I am nearly out of inventory space and was expecting my house to help with that. I was excited to level my crafting in my house and now I will be done leveling crafting by 6 months...bored to tears by 6 months and if housing is going to be as underwelming as the notes said then I'm not going to last.
They brag about 40 items being available to place outside Yipee? 40? What is this Lord of the rings? That's the kind of lacking item placement that game had. Where are the awesome houses we were supposed to see? There should be thousands, millions of items we can place in and out of our house...
They didn't answer any of my questions. Pricing? Lockdowns? Dye tubs? Interactive furney?
Hello? Where is our housing? EQ next is coming out soon...does this game want to live or die?
Housing 6+ months away?

The housing feature coming in 2.1 will be reserved for Free Companies. Personal housing however is planned to come out 6 months after the 2.1 patch, which most likely means it is planned for patch 2.3.

10-22-2013, 12:25 AMNaunetYea... coming from dimensions, where I have practically 100% free reign over what I place and where with XYZ axis, free placement, rotation, and resizing, plus the ability to place well over 2,000 items (after unlocking item limit caps)... I want to be excited for housing in ARR, but they're making it really hard. It feels like they're trying to market a horse and buggy in an economy already dominated by sports cars.Quote:

Would you rather have this part of the game de-bugged and developed properly, or have the devs spend most of their time making thousands of items for you to place at release?Quote:

We want our houses. -
10-22-2013, 04:22 AMNaunetI don't recall seeing a video that demonstrated placement, but it's possible I missed it. (Also, you'd be amazed at how handy the resize function in dimensions can get - lets you turn items you might not have thought of using into amazing things).Quote:
