So…i’m proposing a housing system in which players are tasked with a scavenger hunt for parts to build a house ( their own free wp in different maps/zones).
Allowing us to populate and defend our home turfs in pve would be tremendously fun. It is a nice thing to do after 80. And no, it’s not like WvW because this is your own home with its own benefits in that zone. Imagine, Jormag is landing and you get a distress call! That’s exciting. Imagine being able to use the trophy from mobs to craft trophies to put in your home. That’s nice.
The benefits can include newsletter when events are happening in that world. EX: Say, I have a home in Dredgehaunt Cliff… each time group events like Commissar are happening, I would get a mail asking for my assistance. Talking about real dynamic events that can change the landscape forever, if i don’t go assist that zone, I can stand to lose my home? Or lose favors with certain NPCs by which I would gain less money the next time I complete events for them?
Or if the ideas of housing system is too hard or the ideas of letting your players making visible marks on your land is too …hard… ,
what about allowing your players to offer bodyguard/services/partnership with a set number of NPCs in different zones for world events? Right now we have regular heart NPCs that we discover, but once we discover them and complete their services, we no longer keep in touch with them. What about world event/group event NPCs with whom we can sign a contract that says they can call on us for help when they need help? what about increase in rewards/karma/gold when we help them more often?
This way, you have a nice in-game system of letting your players about world/group events. The best part is that your players would want to keep in touch with NPCs and different zones in this world.
Mainly… I want an in-game system that alerts me of bosses that give nice loots. And why not?
( it’s nice to feel special, no? XD
