Additional Functionality for Personal Homes

My idea on Gardens n airships

As for gardens n workshops... take the sobs out of houses period / or add to all along with...
Put gardening and workshops in your GC squad door...the higher rank you are the more garden plots you have access to and the more airships..as well as housing glam schimatics.. no need to have these locked to houses or FC the airships bring back crafting material people not in fc can use..if airships only brought back items say such as rare buff making materil i can see it but time to unlock these two from houses

There are 3 GC ranks now 1-Private/ 2-Sergeant /3- Lieutenant
Garden plots/air ships
Rank 1 16 plots 1 ship
Rank 2 24 plots 2 ships
Rank 3 32 plots 4 ships

Edit: guess for crossbreeding factors of 8 work

Damn, having to water 32 plots daily would be anoying though lol

There's an overhaul coming? I thought it was just probably more wards.

That's the thing, everything is pure speculations at this point since they didn't really say much of value with the announcment.

Doubtful. Yoshi promised to look into the housing issue and let us know what they decide to do but he also implied we wouldn't hear anything before they start releasing details for 4.2. He also never said there would be an overhaul or new wards in 4.2, thats pure player speculation. Personally, I think new wards is likely because there isn't much work to that but doing any kind of overhaul or additional systems for housing would take longer than 3-4 months; it would be more likely to see a proposal in 4.2 and a fix in 4.3/4.4.

I think we'll see a annuncment prior to 4.2 and see a change at 4.25.
Doubt we have to wait to 4.3 or 4.4 which means 12 months+ from now. It wont happen UNLESS they actually make a big overhaul, adding new wards wouldnt take a year to fix.

[Alien_Gamer]

Yes, additional wards could be done by 4.2 but I wouldn't call that an overhaul or even expanding on the system. Until we hear something though, speculation is all we have.

The only thing they said is just they will try to fix Housing problem in patch 4.2. But they won't announce anything just yet.
At worst, it really will be just "more wards", like....3 more wards for each area. And it most likely won't be instanced housing.

Anything more than 1 garden patch (8 plots) and 1 airship is just overkill, for a single player. You're asking to give every player the gardening production of a mansion + one additional garden patch.
Even the airship is debatable, but I suppose they could allow players to have one personal airship, so they can bring 7 squadron members to do the now-dead Diadem.

As for company workshops, I'd rather keep them tied to Free Companies. Y'know, gives some reason to actually be apart of one.

"Fix" could mean a lot of things, depending on what they see as the "problem."

Not sure how its a overkill. ask anyone who i truly into gardening.im sure they run way more then 1 garden. even to grow your own carrots to feed your chicken + grow onions for it plus if you wanna say craft primal minions oh wait they just added the flying mount.. A player with the time gardening can run many spots.. specialy since your talking 5days + per crossbreed..

Why is the airship debatable?? The airship besides Diqadem brings back tons n tons of crafting materials for every crafter nothing fc related other then the stuff to open up schimatics.

A single play can use all of it. Ive been in fc' that wouldnt allow members access t things brought back like dino fossils or my fav. you know who you are on Coeurl lol charged its members 80% of MB price.for FC money lol when theres nothing to spend fc money on. My self the fc irun all players are allowed any materials and fc ships can be sent out for what ever they want if they ask. The only use for FC money in my fc is to buy members fc roomsw we buy all members rooms when they hit the 30 days active mark (and we make tons of material and thingsp eople dont want Zu mounts, shrubs.

So yea wile were talking making them available..So i do think theres a debate on why people should have them

Can you please share where you got that.i don't rember seeing that the only thing i do remeber is Yoshi post where it said

" In light of the feedback we have received, we will be working to bolster our servers in preparation for additional wards in the Lavender Beds, the Goblet, Mist, and Shirogane by patch 4.2.

We’ve also received considerable feedback as to how they should be added, and we will be making an announcement outlining the number of new wards and how they will be sold after reviewing said feedback."

That there preparing the servers to add more wards. and will be making an announcement outlining the number of new wards and how they will be sold .nothing about fixing housing or revamping the housing system
Im honeslty intrested cause i must of missed a post
