What I hope to see in WoW.Follow

Agree, i dont think individual housing is needed really, but guild housing would be cool, and offer some items you can buy for the house (think deer head on the wall, only it's "the beast's" :)



Yea some new emotes would be nice, I still think they should add pipe smoking to the game. I mean they have drinking; smoking is a pretty big part in most fantasy lore, they could even have different herbs give you buffs. Plus I think it would just be a cool little animation.


Too much load, for not enough result. How well can you really see someones finger.


/agree

The guild house, I like would be cool, and probably easy to create too. They could make some kind of keep, that just has an instance like portal, but unlike instances where your group gets in maybe the prerequisite to getting in to your guild house, be that you have to where you're guild tabard. Then in the house you could have like a guild AH, maybe a BG entrance for the new 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 BGs that are coming.

Yeah I agree, with TseYsuo smoking should be in here, I mean come on I sit at the table and drink my mead (that I just fished out of the ocean, how the beer stayed in the cup I have no idea but it's some good stuff), and after my mug is down, I would like to enjoy a puff of the pipe.

The rings wouldn't be that great, I mean you would at most get a colored line on someones finger, mind you I like the idea, I just don't see it going the way you may be thinking it would be cool. You're probably thinking like designed rings, that possibly glow, but I think what it would turn out as is just a colored band on the hand, would be barely noticeable.

Armor dyes, I like. But in keeping with the ideas of WoW, it would have to go a little more in depth than simply buying a dye and changing the color of your gear. I think it would have to be in tune with the crafts. like a tailor could have colored yarn to change the color of cloth armor, leather crafters could get actual dye, to dye leathers, and I don't know what blacksmiths would get to change mail and plate, but you get the concept I am going for.

Great ideas. I love the idea of the guild keeps but as soon as it happens everyone and their mother will try to start a guild just to start a keep. I think it would be hilarious if a guild just used one of the many abandoned houses/buildings throughout the game.

What I would like to see is a "You have mail" icon on the character page. That way a quick glance at all characters will tell you if you have mail and need to actually log in. I am no computer genius but it seems to me that 7 million people switching from character to character just to check mail must hqve an effect on the servers.

I would also like to see more variety of mounts with the ability to achieve more improvements to your mount. The carrot is ok but better if it increased it by 10% or more. How about the guild tabard for your mount or pet.

All in all a fantastic game but the game would be no fun for me, at least, without Allakhazam or the few other companion sites that help me get from a to z and make the most informed decisions about my character.

Land plots for guild sites would be a good idea, and you could choose whether to display a guild house there or not. (Heck, even having lots of guild houses across the world, for easy access?)

Smoking, yeah, sure.

Titles! That's what we need! MORE! GIEF ME MORE! *cough*Click this.*cough* Although I'll never get triple exalted without the ability to turn in marks. :-/

Maybe certain sets designed for dying? Like Arena sets?

When I say guild Keep, I think of a tower, or castle like in Dustwallow Marshes.... the actual cities name escapes me for the moment.

You're thinking of Theramore, I believe. As long as it's instanced, I'm a huge fan of guild housing (or keeps or whatever).

In order to have housing, it's got to do something that isn't already included in the game - that makes guild housing particularly useful. However, it should not take up any real estate at all, but be instanced. Guild housing should be able to take care of guild "things", like the guild bank, the guild calendar, DKP implentation/records, etc.


There are already a ton of "fun" items in the game. Not to say that there shouldn't be more.


People can already inspect you if you're close enough and stand still. This is unnecessary.


Blizz has already stated that this is not feasible, due to the way they implemented graphics. Each color would require different art, not just a blanket color change. That would make the number of files that need to be kept at the client humongous, and I can think of hundreds of things I'd rather see their artists work on (like new instances).

I have to agree with mike on the "housing" being instanced. With such a huge player base and the fact that each individual character an account can make (50 isn't it?) you would have guild keeps everywhere, i doubt you could even fit that many into the game. But then unfortunately if it was instanced for the guild members no one would be able to see inside them or burgle them hahah.

What I'd suggest is actually doing something like there's a plot of land in certain areas, if you join your guild then the guild hall will appear there. So, instead of it being TRULY instanced or destroying the game world, it'll be like a mix between being instanced and appearing in game. Might be viable, might not be.

EQ's guild housing works great. Simple small instanced area with guild and player bankers and various merchants and things like forges etc. It's not a retarded idea. It wouldn't take all that much in the design and 3d part because it'd be smaller and simpler than the smallest instanced dungeon. It's a possible idea that would work.

Having played Starwars Galaxies for a while one of the biggest things I miss beyond more instense crafting is the housing system. I understand that it wouldn't work at all for WOW, but how would instance-based houses negatively affect the gameworld? Fighting and slaughtering mobs can get old after a while and the woman in me wants to decorate darn it! Ah well, maybe in the next patch.
