Mini Market Board Housing Item?

There are two things that I personally believe would make housing infinitely better (not that it's bad now, just saying better).

1) Allow us to zone in/out and login/out of our houses. But that's not the thread topic since I have another post out there for this. For those who didn't know, we used to have this feature and it got pulled. Word on the street was that people were glitching OOB in the houses and they pulled it.

2) A mini market board would be awesome. Like a bulletin board, but with MB access. That way I don't have to leave the house for mats, queuing, can just sit back, relax, and enjoy Twilight over Thanalan in my own house (or the FC house).

The first reply is probably going to be, "No, that will ruin the game. Nobody will leave their houses" or "That's what killed WoW". Yeah, I doubt that's true. People want to flaunt their mounts and RP too much in Idyllshire for that. Not to mention, people still need to hunt/fate/etc.


PS: Don't tell the rest of the forum, but I'd pay for it in the cash shop. Mentioning cash shop is a trigger.

You are right about first reply as Might was well just get rid of the housing district then and just make everything instanced then.

I guarantee you 90% of the server wouldn't stay in their houses. They'd be out in the yards, Idyllshire, Limsa (which I still think is bizarre; why there?), and other places.

That cause 90% of the server don't have their own house with the current set up anyways.

Well, I would certainly use housing more often if this were a thing. And I believe an interview debunked it for the same reasons Lexia mentioned.

Everyone has access to an apartment right now and apartment teleports are located only a few steps away from an outdoor market board.

So why not? We have indoor summoning bells too even though the housing wards and cities have them all over. It would be convenient to have a MB next to an indoor materia melder and vendors.

Not if you on Balmung, all apartments are sold out there.

People frequent Limsa cause it is the only main city with the marketboard right next to the aetheryte. You don't need to change zones like in Gridania or Ul'dah.

That would be too convenient.
Is it quality of life ? Yes.
But does it really THAT necessary ? No.

Quality of Life is usually unnecessary, doesn't matter the degree of necessity anyways.

1) make housing like WildStar's housing

2) make housing like WildStar's housing

Unfortunately, after playing that game and it's "housing endgame," I will never view housing in any game, even FFXIV, as even remotely comparable.

* Add it as a outdoor furniture
* Allow everyone to use them
* remove the other market boards in the housing areas

No thank you. I don't need a bunch of people in my yard standing around using the market board because they too cheap to get their own.

This was a request around two years ago. The reply was something along the lines of server stability yadda yadda~no. iirc.

Lmao. I would be the crotchety old man yelling, "Get off my lawn!".

So perfect then. 90% of the server won't be locked in a house :)

They SHOULD make housing instanced. Heck look at what ESO did this week. And since you can buy housing in their cash shop and they give you crowns for choosing to pay the sub 1 per 1 dollar (plus a discount for longer subs that doesn't impact how many crowns you get) they are pretty much just giving everyone who subs a mansion, and banking on those who don't, all players get a teeny tiny apartment for unlocking housing and house prices are reasonable whether or not you pay for them with gold or crowns. And the shocker is EVERYONE has access! No ward camping, no "I want that location but someone else has it", no full wards. SE did housing backwards and defending it is pure white knighting SE poor planning and implementation and nothing more.

Well Balmung is "special" everyone knows that by now, its a bad example lol

I agree with both of these.

I would like to log in and out of my house, feels wierd to log in and have my avatar in the lawn.
And I would definately like a mini market board (as wel as glamour dresser!) <3

I just want a housing glamour dressers >.<

People RP in Idyllshire a lot? News to me.

will never happen, unless they completely remake the game with a new engine in 9.0.

This is a several year old post. Probably did happen back in the day.

But on topic, yeah, it would be nice to have an indoor market board for your home/apartment as well as a glamour dresser, but the way people describe these things, it would apparently cause the servers to implode. It's disappointing to say the least, but hopefully one of these days they will switch up/fix up the spaghetti code and make it possible.

Was going to say - this thread is from 2017 :D It still is a nice idea though. I like to have my own MB ^^

Looking back at my previous post here, I would much rather a glamour dresser housing item over a market board housing item now.

Going to the cities just to put one item in the glamour dresser is such a bother, and one I would rather do in the comfort of my own home.

Right?

It's like going to sleep and waking up dressed and outside near your car..

Sure I don't remember my morning routines most of the time but.. jarring.

That'd be sweet. I know a lot of people say that people don't ever use the housing system, but me and my 2 buddies use out small FC house A LOT while we are crafting or queuing for dungeons. That said, I doubt it will ever happen.

it make it easy when crafting in my fc room or at my house. You wouldn't have to run long ways to board to buy item or see prices on board before selling item.

you do know there is a market board literally within 10 seconds away from each house right?

This

Those who have access to housing are never far away from a market board. I would much rather they implement a glamour dresser because I have to port away from my home and to a city state to use one.

However, I think if a glamour dresser was as easy to make an indoor furnishing as an orchestrion, company chest, toy box, or journal (items we interact with that have sub menus) then we would already have one. I believe the constraint the devs have is that items stored in the glamour dresser still have to retain all its data (level/job requirements, stats, dyeable/crest, all that freakin jazz). If we did get one, I believe load times into our houses would drastically increase, and only get worse if it gets expanded upon.

Going back to the MB, when I initially read the subject I thought the OP was only going to ask for a non-functional MB for decoration. While I initially thought, "What's the point in that?" when I think about it more, it actually would be pretty cool and I bet they'd have a clever description of it too xD

agreed i'd prefer a glamour dresser for my house over a market board. i mean i literally go to my house to mend and meld matiera really no reason to go to a city state

I'm not sure if someone mentioned this or not but I agree, a fully functioning Market board is bad... but what if we could just see the prices and not actually buy form it.

When I'm decorating my FC house I would like to quickly know if something is way out of my price range or not. As it is now I use the "Preview housing Items" menu, find something I like, and then have to load outside run to the boards and check.. It would be nice if I could at the very least just check the prices.

Think this is exactly what he said about the Glamour Dresser in player owned houses:

Yoshi P: "In terms of having a furnishing item… there’s a scary amount of item data connected to it. Something like a glamour dresser has a few hundred items associated with it. With furnishing items, you can move it around, or someone else can move it around… it’s very dangerous and risky and very unstable to have an item like that for you to place in your own personal housing.

I’m sure with the convenience of moving around normal furnishings, or having retainers available, or having the ability to access market boards, it’s logical to think, “why can’t we have it as an item?” but the engineering behind that, having the items taken out, but suddenly not having it there, or having other people affect the location of the dresser…. we have to be very careful in working on that. That’s why we can’t just have it available as a furnishing item or something that can be readily placed."

I'm assuming it would have the same or worse issues than the glamour dresser does, so I doubt it would come anytime soon.

Have you worked with their exact system? Have you been a part of the Dev team? Do you know someone on the Dev team?

Otherwise I'm dubious of your claims.


Why do they want you to keep coming to inns?

Game code is weird.

The City of Heroes reboot servers have access to the base code of that game and found that its impossible to open their auction house in an instance, which means you cant have a supergroup base that has a way to access the auction house. Theres waaaaay too much work that would have to go in for something that saves ~45 seconds.

I dont doubt that theres something stupid like that in the 1.0 code theyre using for some of these things. We know that the game cant pull certain information in instances or on other servers, theres a greater than 0% chance housing insides have something preventing x, y, or z.

A bit late to the party but I was googling the same thing and ended up here. Would love my own market board on my estate. Too bad, have to mount up and go down the road, which isn't terrible, but inconvenient all the same :p
