Mog House Thread [dev1002][dev1017]

[Bearious]

Great ideas and well written. I'd love to have my mog house back. However, I would also love to see a guild hall implemented if they do choose to add in mog houses. Every adventurer wants a place to call their own and the same can be said for linkshells. A place where all your members can gather and interact would just create an awesome community. Also, if your idea was to be implemented, this would not be a far stretch if they already had customizable housing features designed. These guild halls could be even larger and more grand than individual mog houses, with each member helping to build it from the ground up. You could even go as far as to make all the features in your guild hall only craftable (if that's a word) by guild members. This would go even further to promote synergy, as well as prestige, amongst your linkshell.

More ideas just keep coming now xD. SE could possibly even create drops on hard end game monsters which are required for building some of the more extravagant guild hall features. This would just be a new and cool way to show what your linkshell has accomplished. I can just envision all the high rank DoW going out and taking down a hard boss. Getting the drop and handing it off to the high rank DoH to create the finished product for all to see. I believe having both DoW and DoH working together is the real point to FFXIV.

However, I would like to mention that I do not think that there should be a garden/ outside area for nodes in guild halls. This would just be taking it to far and would definitely get abused. While I do fully support the idea for your mog house, I believe a guild hall should just be a place for linkshells to gather and talk.

So yea, I hope you guys tell me what you think to keep bringing attention to this awesome thread.

Well, I could see the problem with gardening nodes and the like for guild halls, but I'd rather they keep the gardens and the like at least for decoration! Would be a shame to have a beautiful guild hall and no flowerbeds or secret cave hideouts or the like surrounding it. :3

Yeah, decoration gardens is a nice touch and also for some /gardening stuff would be neat, instead to use only pots.

Also i would love to see the possibility to create something for large guilds, like castles. They could be built and spread around the world in various zones (istanced maybe), like on a cliff or in a forest.

Can we dream?

You know, I wonder if we could have the ability to build a basement as well, or even a sort of player dungeon. <_<; Perhaps we could put captive monsters or something in there to fight against, or maybe create a sort of area full of traps, mazes, surprises, and more.

Or maybe just another place to hang out and decorate, since unless there were prizes and the monsters dropped loot I wouldn't see much point, lol. Unless maybe you could create your own ideal monster hunting grounds to exp in?

You are going to create a game in the game eheh (sort of 'dungeon keeper'). It would be nice in any case. In that case, a new class could pop up... beastmaster or so. Infinite possibilities..

Tangent: i think if this topic was in General forum, it would have had more responses.. :/

Probably, but this is the feedback forum for categorized stuffs, so here it is. <_<; I keep hoping a mod will respond on the dev teams thoughts, hehe. Still, a game in a game isn't such a bad thing. If for instance, you let players create dungeons and content and the like, you suddenly increase the dev team from it's standard number to the entire player base, and there's always some wannabe game designers that come out with the most awesome of ideas when you give them the tools to do it. Creating content that lets players create their own content from such building blocks starts an infinite loop of content goodness! \o.o/

Agree.
Btw, there was a similar thing called Moblin Maze (but very limited) in FF11? Don't remember well..

That's right, Moblin Maze Mongers. I guess you could have player dungeons in the basement with the same concept, where you could have players making challenges for others to take on, with prizes to be had, both as drop rates from NMs put in there and from points earned and spent on gear, like Moblin Marbles. MMM has fallen a bit by the wayside with better gear than it from abyssea though, as well as better exp.

I really like the mog houses in FFXI, I would be happy with something much the same. It would be nice to have more in depth customization but as long as we can invite other players in I would be happy with that.

I'd like to put a retainer in there too as an option and leave my house open to visitors when I'm not home. One of my favorite things in EQ2 was visiting other people's houses.

It would be rather neat if you could let anyone visit your home, especially if we could have a sort of "address", where you can go down, say, Lily road in Gridania, and you have your own address there, and players could see your home from a distance and enter it. The problem would be whether the servers could handle such a thing though, although maybe there would be a way to have sort of invisible zone lines like the rest of the game, so that one area doesn't have too much lag. It would be pretty neat though if you could build your house in an available street and number though, especially if you could wander the streets and visit open houses, sightseeing.
