[dev1301] Private Player Residences Discussion

[Rukkirii]

There was a question regarding how potent the rested bonus would fair in comparison to Guardian’s Aspect. For regional leves, we are making adjustments so it is the same amount of EXP as if you had Guardian’s Aspect active.

Also to clarify, as long as you have completed the main quest requirement for your city-state, you’ll be able to accept the inn quest for each of the city-states. By completing each of the city-state’s inn quests, it will be possible to utilize the inns in each of the city-states.

As for the EXP bonuses that are applied, there was a concern that non-Disciple of the Hand classes are missing out being able to utilize the rested XP as freely as they would like. We’re preparing the following methods, so that a player can select which to use depending on the situation:

Static EXP bonus – Utilize the rest bonus
EXP bonus on demand – Food, company engineered items, etc.
(Also note that the XP bonus from food is the same regardless of type of food consumed)

We are currently looking into other questions that have been posted in this thread, so please hang tight!

I'm actually pretty upset to see that you can't craft and stuff in your room, too. However, there could be a few reasons for this that don't have to do with botting. Which, by the way, would not change anything and people who bot will still do so. With private rooms or without.

This other reason might be that they want crafting classes to be in their respected guilds... which actually makes a lot of sense. Other players who need help from a crafting class are not going to get through to them if they are in their rooms.

Kinda feels pointless not being allowed to do crafting and related actions in the inn, I really wanted a private area to do that quietly without being bothered with other player's sound effects and people running over and blocking my view of the crafting orb...Or facing the public embarrassment of a lot of failures in a row. ^^; I doubt it has anything to do with bot crafters, as they are all out in the open on the streets in plain view as it is now on my server.

But I do miss quietly crafting in my mog house room in XI, well hopefully for 2.0 player housing Yoshi has something interesting up his sleeve.

I have a few questions maybe someone can clarify.
-Will the rested xp bonus automatically apply itself to the first class played that is able to level? Or will there be some sort of way for the player to execute it (such as a button in the micro menu)?
-What exactly is the recharge rate and what will the cap be? IE: X hours logged off = Y bonus xp up to Z amount maximum.
-Will you be able to stack the exp bonus from scrolls and food with the rested bonus?
-Will there be inns or equivalents in other places besides the city-states such as hamlets or outposts?

I really dislike the idea of all the cities being empty because we are all in our own rooms...

@Altanas that kind of stuff will be around with the player-owned residences since they are not instanced according to interviews and such in the past. That type of stuff probably isn't possible at all with the current game and they're working within their limits.

First off, personal housing will be instanced. The neighborhood will have to be instanced. There is noting to suggest that they are not --sure, but if they are not, they have got to be the dumbest developers in the galaxy. Also, you can craft in ANY instanced area in the game. They actually written in deliberately that you cannot craft inside your residence. For what official reason? We don't know.

I am on the fence about it. I'd love to be able to craft inside my residence, but then again I see the points in not allowing it at the moment.

Anyway, there is no reason on the technical side why it's being blocked.

I guess my thought is why waste time and effort to make these inn rooms for us when they could make a more permanent house. WE have waited this long for something like this.. I can;t wait a little longer. I'd rather see a Mail system up and running to tell you the truth.

I do like the fact that there will be rested XP gain though!!!!

Because they have big plans for private housing and it probably can't be implemented without considerably dedicated effort.
