WoW's player housing will have no FOMO and private housing wards

[NaoSen]

Will it be as much as it gets hyped to be ? Who knows how much it might live up to the hype.

Will it be better than FFXIV ? Yes, you really cannot get a worse housing system than this game.

It honestly baffles me that Runescape of all games has a personal house for every player where the only costs are for moving it or building new rooms/furniture. It's the one thing I retroactively like more about it.

[Hallarem]

It cant beat Ffxiv housing. Its designed perfectly with harmony and ps5 in mind. The core of the core. Too much design is a thing. It is simple so devs can focus on new expansion right away. Too much QoL is too much for some people. They get overwhelmed and anxious when they have to learn. Its a good system. I think we should do our best to support SE in this.

Remember to smile

You're not the only one who made this observation. The GG guys (who are former WoW hardcore players who just finished their first XIV Savage tier at current content a few weeks ago) made this same comment. "Don't trust the WoW devs." Their housing is promising the stars, and you hope maybe you get the moon, but you're just as likely to get green cheese.

Which is a good statement to have with Blizzard. There is just numerous stuff over the years from Blizzard that warrant such caution. If Blizzard somehow manages to nerf the fun out of housing, I can't say I would be shocked. As they have a history of not just overpromising, but also taking away whatever makes that piece of content fun. Even if it's not gamebreaking and the entire playerbase can enjoy it.

Yeah because bidding on lotteries for years on end in hopes to get a large is oh so much better

Whatever WoW does cant be worse than what we have in FFXIV. Y'all need to stop coping.

That's just it, all we have is concept art and their plan. We don't KNOW. It could blow FFXIV out of the water! It could be on par with XIV's apartments, which are 1. unlimited and 2. don't expire. It could be on par with XI's mog houses, which had an item limit of 20 items.

Thou doth project too much. Especially if me or others advocating for having tempered expectations is considered 'radical'.

As your only evidence to refute my claims at the moment, is literally text-based promises and three pieces concept art. If that is all it took, boy do I have a kickstarter scam to sell you.

Yep, former long-term WoW player here and first thing I thought of was the dance studio which was promised years ago and never made it in. Plus the nerf to fun - like a favorite toy I had that you could change into any race for an hour and the cooldown was an hour or two, so you could always be something else in perpetuity. Then they made it a 24-hour cooldown. They did that to quite a few toys, which had no combat application whatsoever, they were just fun.

I do hope that WoW housing makes it in and it's everything they claim for it. FFXIV needs a kick in the pants in that regard. But I wouldn't be surprised if they end up dropping some features.

Yeah, or in Legion where they hotfixed nerfed a couple toys because players, like myself, were using those as improvised flying because flying wouldn't come until 10 months later in that expansion. Among other examples.

If their new attempt at housing is actually good, I will be pleasantly surprised. Until then, all we can do is wait until at least closed or open beta for the next expansion to see what they done with it.

Ngl still think they should nuke Island Sanctuary and use that server space for instance housing.
