Apartment

[Guyver]

I am sorta pondered on how the aprtment/housing will work out.

If they aren't planning on load times then how will I enter my room. Because usually the load time is also used to check the persons data and stuff.

If it's anything like anarchy onlines way out housing that's not so bad. But the way they had the positioning of furniture took hours as you could really only position things well by being in first person. That's even if the item came out in the right angle. Then youde have to put it back in inventory and try to look at a different angle.

Any guesses?

P.S .

alot of times no one even needed to use their rooms.

maybe have an area map in the room, and a picture of a room so you can highlight "Read Email" "Check Mission Status" "Check Combat History" "Check Character Info" etc

sort of like in wing commander or rise of the dragon.

I like the idea of having a personal space but perhaps it wont be as much of a gameplay extension as a convenient way to do your character maintenance.

meh I don't really care for it but if its a way to prevent people from having too much money I'm all for it!

also I'm in favor of a repair system like WoW just to keep inflation in check.

[Guyver]

How about being injured from battle. You can go sit on the couch for a bit or something.

[Backus]

meh...

[Guyver]

Youre apartment could be a place to meet up with friends to discuss stuff. Since most likely the door can be closed so no one can hear whats inside or outside.

Sadly this might lead to more private affairs of "cybering".

[Backus]

Oh well... I won't invest much into my home because I prefer some kick ass assualt rifle.

[Guyver]

Decoration might be for more high level people or serious farmers.

Ill deffenatly be decorating mine, as to what kind of apartment well i think they will all be instanced.

I've never played a game that had this in it, but I selected that it would be a good option.

It would also be cool to see my equipment displayed in the room, like in gun racks and armor racks. I wonder if they can do this?

[Cyinn]

Gun racks would rule I would love to have one like next to my bed or somthing.

id decorate and make it look as evil as can be, id put fake skulls every where, guns , swords , and gernades under every thing. then just use it as a space to kick back for a moment, or to change wep, maybe get my char some food, a ice cold beer. the possiblitys are endless really, because you can do so much with it im hoping.

In neocron2 the player housing was just an apartment you had a standerd issue one. I think you could purchase higher level ones though...but they where all the same they all had the same stuff in them.

But you could sit on the chairs and there was a computer console that you could access to get missions...check mail...and other stuff.

Seems like there was a way to store items ...like some sort of bank/storage area.

Cant remember though.

Being able to decorate your room or craft stuff and all that non-sense will just probably turn in to one big Queer fest though.

You should just play EQ1, EQ2, DAoC or something if you want that mess.

I think missions to some extent will be cool. I'm not sure about this level "50" cap. Thats alot of grinding if you ask me.

[Athrus]

3 words: drapes, carpets, doilies
:lol:

[Guyver]

Firs off calling it a queer fest isn't exactly adequate for what decorating is. Second EQ1 didnh't have any kind of room customizable but EQ2 might. I think you can buy land and build a house. Not sure.

I'd be all for it in Huxley. Eventually, there will be people who have tons of money to throw around, and this gives them something to do. Plus, it would be awesome to invite your buddies over and show off your place.

Atleast someone gets it. :wink:

yea i am more of a chuck everything into its own piles on the ground and go out get some more/kill some stuff kinda guy so if i every actualy decorate it will probly not be untill i am bored and have all the gear i want.

[Guyver]

Now there might be times when the gear doesn't fit the situation in battle. The only way the game will get boring is if you do the same thing over again. I suggest trying new strategies and new weapons/armor.

I wouldn't suggest just putting things in piles. As there could be alimit to what is stored in the room. So it is best to see what and how many of things can be stored and for how long before you lose items most dear to you.

i am talking about getting all the gear i WANT key word there WANT and i will WANT a lot i always do

and as for tossing crap in piles i am taslking about loot etc i would stop by my house toss down what i have picked up and head back out and once i come back i would sift threw and set stuff up in the bazzar (i think one video said they are going to use a system like that) and get what cash i can extra...

function before fassion but fassion is always a close second :P
