Housing Plot Instanced

[Jojoya]

Imagine being an owner of a large and having 50 people constantly teleporting to their large that is in the same spot as yours. Like those bot swarms teleporting in cities, but in front of your own house that is supposed to be a sanctuary.

That's what some players want. They want to see others coming and going in front of their house so it feels like part of an active neighborhood and not a ghost town.

If you want your house to be a sanctuary, instanced housing would do the job much better than the current ward system that allows anyone and everyone to pile into your yard if they want (not to mention inside your house if guest access is enabled).

Nobody wants to see characters appearing and disappearing in an instant in front of their house like a bot swarm 24/7. Stop lying. People teleporting to the gate then disappearing to their own instance isn't an active neighborhood, it's a nuisance.

Funny how it's been said "instanced housing wouldn't affect ward housing" except then multiple players including you brainstorm ways to ruin ward housing. A bit of hypocrisy there, hmm? People can mass teleport to the apartment building instead of my gate.

How much time do you spend standing in your yard by yourself looking at the placard that you would even notice it happening? You're definitely not going to see it happening if you are inside of your house.

You're also greatly exaggerating how often it would happen considering those owning the instanced version of your plot would still be spread across 60 wards/subdivisions. You're not going to see every player on your world picking the same plot not to mention most of the time players aren't even in the wards. They'll be out playing the rest of the game.

Keep in mind this isn't how I would want instanced housing to be set up. I want instanced housing to take us out of the wards and give us options throughout the game world, just as RIFT did with Dimensions. But since this thread is about the OP's suggestion, I was mentioning ways that it might work out.

A lot of people are like me and sit IN FRONT of their house / in the garden, so yes, that would be a massive nuisance to see people constantly teleporting in and out out of absolutely nowhere, no thank you, stop trying to ruin ward housing.

If you want to see people teleporting all over the place, you can go on dynamis on any of the worlds and enjoy the flying lala bots going all over the place, we dont need to add that to ward housing, no thanks.

i swear to god i am genuinely grateful that they dont listen to this community most of the time, what an absolutely terrible idea

I think that could be solved too, by having a option as well to show/hide people teleporting to same plot as you to get into their own instanced housing, so basically making it you can make it you don't even have to see them teleport in.

That way you can keep the peace and quiet of your own house, everybody can have their house, and people who really want to see people tp in and out to get a feel that the wards are active can just turn on the showing of people teleporting in / away from the placard.

No. That idea is terrible, just stop lol

Just bring on upgradeable apartments sizes to medium and large apartments and add a small balcony for 1 gardening slot and call it a day

Ward housing should not be used for instanced housing, ward housing is ward housing. I don't want instanced in the wards. Get your instanced large apartment, have at it, but that's as far as it should go, you shouldn't be able to pick a plot of choice anyway, instanced would be a replacement for people without a house, not an actual house.
