Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Mimilu]

they do have mender ncp's your will have to place them in your room / apartment. but they are available

That post was from 2013.
House menders (along with the rest of the default housing vendors) weren't added until 2014 in patch 2.2. :B

Increase item count in a scaling manner. A 100 increase from a small to a medium is not nearly equal to the increase in sqft between small and medium. Doubling the item count from 200-400 when going from a small to a large is not nearly enough when the size of a large is far greater than double the size of a small.

Please add other intense dyes. A nice purple, a nice orange, a nice green. We have an intense black (pure black), white (pure white), red (ruby red), blue (dragoon blue), pink (cherry pink), turquoise (turquoise blue) and yellow (canary yellow and vanilla yellow). Can we add those other three please?

I think that may come across a bit better if you were to use a color picker and provide the hex codes for the colors you're thinking.

What is the latest info on -
Not being forced out of housing instance when you relog/enter duty etc. ?
Glamour Dresser in your house?

All I remember in my head is the standard response of "It might be difficult because of 1.0 code, we gonna look into it" and that was like ages ago. Like they said something about your housing instance will get created the moment you enter it because its ofc not permanent, and when you come back to the server again it is not there yet.
And wasn't there a screenshot of the balcony door in mansions being useable in the early patches 2.1 or so? And then they removed that feature 8 years ago and since people wonder why there is even a door where they cant place furnishing.

A hope for them to make it easier to put objects onto the loft. Right now it's extremely difficult trying to put a bed on-top of them.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but I'd like to see Retainers added to Shared Estates. I have friends that are not able to log in everyday and would help them out if their friends can do this for them.

What this means :

1) tenant can send the person's retainers on ventures, using the tenant's venture coins.
2) Can complete the venture for the person. Retainer's rewards can go into a temporary inventory box similar to how mail works currently.

What this doesn't mean:

1) tenant has access to inventory of person's retainers or retainer's gear.
2) tenant can reset or change classes of person's retainer
3) tenant can use retainer to sell personal stuff on MB

This is all for the benefit of the person and not the tenant, but optionally rewarding the tenant can be done by adding this to the challenge log, maybe an achievement with a title, etc.


Thoughts?

It's probably been mentioned already but...

Mirrors! I'd like a variety of mirrors to place around my house. A square one for a bathroom, an oval one for a hallway/bedroom and so on.

It's probably too much to expect an actual reflection to show but I'd still like one to be implemented.

I think it probably would be too much graphically to render a mirror reflection of your character and the background in real time sadly (real time shadows already severly tax less powerful systems) which is probably why the mirrors already featured as part of the Oriental Dressing Case and Mummer's Maquillage are covered and non functional (and the mirror on the glamour dresser is just a weird shifting mass of vaguely crystalline light). It would be nice to have if it were possible though.
