Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Creme]

I read that idea about the Sultana showing up in the Goblet and I thought it would be a great thing for all the instances. Merlwyb showing up in Mist, or maybe the Elder Seedseer showing up in Lavender Beds.
Maybe have other random NPCs walking around? The sylphs making a pilgrimage to Gridania to leave presents for walking ones? It could be anything really, so long as it makes things a bit more lively.

Random NPCs in the wards would certainly make them feel more lively. Despite my ward of Mist being full save the large plots, it feels like a ghost town. I never run into anyone anymore and it's not like they're all hanging out in their houses. Despite the brilliant changes last patch to furnishing additions and menders, being kicked out of our house every time we zone into a duty means people are still hanging out in town.

Until that problem is resolved, I still see the wards being ghost towns, even with new NPCs. That would just at least make them feel a little alive.

Some ideas

Interactive furnitures:
When a character sits/interacts with the furniture they perform some active anymation, it could be a chait+table combination or bar where the character got a glass and drinks once in a while or start playing a music instrument.

Minions on the loose:
Minions (amount based on house size) will run around the house. These minions are donated to the company chest and then loads when someone enters. When noone is in the house it resets and randomices the selected minions

More on the personal housing side:

- Agree with a minion pet running around the house. That would be cool. I would even like the option to have my retainers hanging out there when they aren't on ventures. Personal housing might get kinda bland if it is empty all the time.

- Bed I can log off on and get rested bonus.

- Jukebox is a must.

- A Wall-mounted weapon case, would be great to store and show off some of your old weapons.

- Striking dummies that can be equipped with armor

- Armoire that can actually store most of your equipment

- pretty much everything the inn room has, you should never have to go back to an inn room after owning a house.

will think of more later.

Oh I know, more slots to add all of this :O.

In Mist, if you go to the beach, there are some chairs and Miqo's standing around. If you sit in the chair, the Miqo's will start fanning you off with a big leaf. I would like random NPCs just walking around. When you pass one, they /wave. Same with the guards too. If you are in the same GC as the guard, they /gcsalute as you walk by. If you are in a different GC, they /wave or /bow.

In the same vein, I wish they would fix the beach chairs so you could actually /sit in them properly. Miqo'te ladies look funny the way they sit on them.

Elezen ladies don't have it any better. It is more like I am sitting through the chair instead of sitting in it.

There are market boards like.... all over every housing ward. Just pick a plot close to one?
