So.. the Animal Corssing-esc. Island Sanctuaries... thoughts and wishes

[Darthgummibear]

There's no way this feature will ever live up to the expectations people are piling on top of it.

[Raoabolic]

I said it before, and i'll say it again. I'll be shocked if we can do anything with outdoor furnishings on the island.

[Jennah]

I'm guessing that it's somehow going to be part 3 of either Eureka or Palace of the Dead - since we've heard nothing about either, not even a statement neither is coming.

... I think I'd prefer "a place where you click on nodes a few times a day with only the bare minimum of customization"

[Maxilor]

It'll likely have some sort of Doman Enclave time gated upgrade system

You hit that bullseye, now the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards.

Checkmate

I want to see my mounts walk around the Farm
Omega,Rathaloa and makai mounts just chilling

I hope theres no timers or tasks to do. I just want a cute space to customize and hang out in.

[Jandor]

Temper your expectations people, it'll be pretty naff when it launches.

Hopefully it expands into something good after a while though.

[Driavna]

I think it will be like Doma but with a bit of more control about what we update/build or in what order.

[Calysto]

I'm betting on :
-timed daily minning/logging point and fishing net
-fishing spot
-gardening spot
-animal rearing
-some beastmens npc helpers come along (mog, qiqirn and a "new" mole race)
-all upgraded by doing daily and/or hitting some rng item in each

Animal Corsing should be illegal.

In all seriousness though my only worry is that it becomes another Stronghold System from World of Warcraft, but it's not really a huge worry. I don't think the community is as antisocial as WoW was back then, and also I don't think that the two are intended to be that similar in design. (I.E. I don't think you can get raid gear from the Island Sanctuary.)

Yeah, the problem with Garrisons is that they:

1. Had Trade Chat (realm-wide chat that connected capital cities)
2. Had an Auction House (market board) with enough work
3. Were required for professions at the time
4. Had portal hubs that went all around the world
5. Had a mobile game-esque system that let you get gear by doing nothing

All SE needs to do is... not that. And it's automatically better.
