Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Kytrin]

It's been said countless times, thread after thread. A lot of people want it, myself included.

It's still a good request, and shouldn't be THAT difficult for the devs to manage. Certainly easier than all the hand wringing they do over adding slots...

the ability to change wall partitions without having to remove the wall hanging items and store them.
Just provide a right click, open inventory/storage and switch the wall partition with another.

Isn't it about time to make all houses equal? Seriously is there a reason why a small house only gets 1 garden? There's plenty of room for 3 plots for all houses.

Please normalize the scrip vendors. I post this here because the furniture they sell varies, despite the fact they sell materials and gear across expansions. Garden Gravel for example is only available from Stormblood vendors when there's no reason it couldn't be available for scrips from other vendors.

Hello. I think we are lacking with distinctly Art Deco furniture and therefore would like to request some more Amoroutine furniture besides the wall lamps.

In the same vein, Sharlayan walls to go with the craft-able floors or the Anemos furniture

The lockout timer that is applied whenever any property is vacated is proving to be a huge headache for anyone looking to buy a private or Free Company estate. I don't know about anyone else, but I've been trying to get a plot for my FC for the last 2 weeks and I'm seriously burned out from camping vacated plots for hours on end only to have to quit from exhaustion or to have the plot taken by one of many other players camping the plot or someone who takes the plot through relocation. If the lockout is to remain implemented it needs to be changed and here are a few suggestions:

1. Make the timer visible so players know when to expect the plot to be unlocked, or at the very least limit the lockout time to no more than 4 hours. Making players camp a plot for an unknowable length of time for a chance to secure it for themselves or their Free Company can lead to player exhaustion as described above even to the point of potentially endangering their health. Sure, SE can just say that it's the player's own responsibility to participate in moderation and basically take care of themselves, but anyone with even the most basic understanding of human behavior can assume that there are going to be those who end up taking things too far even to the detriment of their own well-being.

2. Limit the lockout to properties that are vacated by the players themselves. If the lockout is intended to prevent resale of plots between players, then it doesn't make sense to include properties that are vacated by auto-demolition, relocation, or deletion of the owning character. The current all-encompassing implementation acts to needlessly inconvenience players desiring to purchase a property.

Fact is, these ideas should have been a no-brainer from the start.

Saving house design (aka. Housing set gear/glamour)

So i can easily change from one theme to another...

I knew I asked for Aurmorotine furniture in general but I wanted to highlight this gate from Akademia Ayndyr and say that it and it counterpart would make lovely partitions

moving apartment rooms without having to redo the whole room.

Add an apartment type that has a built in garden area. This is something that Lotro offers with some of their premium housing - which, yes it's 'housing' since they don't have 'apartments' but you could scale this down rather easily. It'd work rather nicely if they ever upgraded apartments and allowed us to have 'additional' areas that wouldn't overtax the servers. Just a nice garden area within the house or behind a loading door and allow us to buy different 'sizes' for varying amounts of gil.
