Housing 2.0 Guide

[Justg]

These features were compiled from this thread: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...using-Feedback

More Privacy Options

Choose to allow Friends, Guild Mates and / or Party Members into your house.
Choose any combination of these options to customize your House privacy settings!
Don't forget: you can choose to allow pets or have visitors auto-dismiss pets when they arrive.

Mail

Home owners can now send Mail messages to each other!

Mail can be sent to players even when they're off-line.

To get started: tap on the Mailbox icon in your House to browse the Inbox or Compose new mail.



Mail messages have a thousand (1000) character limit and require one (1) Postage Stamp (new game currency) to send. All existing Home owners and new Home buyers get a free book of ten (10) Stamps. Buy more from the Mailbox menu.

Display Cases

Now you can put your favorite banners and weapons on display in your house!
Buy the Banner Display Case or the Weapon Display case from the Furniture Store.
Use the Display Case furniture item and select a Banner or Weapon from your inventory to display.



The default Display Case will disappear in order to show off your selected Weapon in its full glory!
Move the displayed item (like any other piece of furniture) via the House Edit menu.
You can remove the item from the Display Case and put it back in your inventory.

Locations

Enchanted lands add beauty, style, and a sense of place to your House... and a new set of permanent powers for your character!

Choose from four epic Locations: Brackenridge Forest, Nordr Mountains, Tindirin Volcano, and The City!



+ Owning the Brackenridge Forest Location increases your Health.



+ Purchase of the Nordr Mountains Location increases your Mana.



+ The Tindirin Volcano Location increases your Damage.



+ And the City (available only to Tavern owners) increases Loot Re-roll Chance!



Buffs are affected by House type: the bigger the House, the better the Buff.

Keep in mind: you will receive a buff for every Location that you own, regardless of which one you choose to show!

Old Values:

Location	Buff	Starter	Cottage	Lodge	Tavern
Forest	Health	+25	+50	+100	+200
Mountains	Mana	+25	+50	+100	+200
Volcano	Damage	+0.5	+1.0	+1.5	+2.0
City	Loot Re-roll	-	-	-	+2%

EDIT: We've been discussing these values and have decided to bump up the power gained from the free options as well as making the curve a bit more linear. New values:

Location	Buff	Starter	Cottage	Lodge	Tavern
Forest	Health	+50	+100	+150	+200
Mountains	Mana	+50	+100	+150	+200
Volcano	Damage	+0.5	+1.0	+1.5	+2.0
City	Loot Re-roll	-	-	-	+2%

Please note that you cannot walk around in these environments.

Upkeep

We are working on finding the right balance for Upkeep. A couple of weeks ago we cut the Upkeep costs in half, with 2.0 we are also making it so players can take the Weekly Estate Token quest every week regardless of their current upkeep standing.

Furniture Features

Deluxe Beds can now accommodate two (2) players at the same time!
The new Lodge Hot Tub can seat up to four (4) players simultaneously!



Other items can only be used by one player at a time - so first come, first served.
But don't forget: Home Owners are always allowed to use their own furniture.

Display Ownership

When you enter a house you are reminded who the owner is. No more wondering whose party you are at!

Please let us know your thoughts and what else you would like to see in the comments below, and see ya at Goldilox's House Party!

Yes. Everywhere.

[Oakmaiden]

What about more slots for furnishings? Its the one thing all homeowners have begged for!

[Spell]

I hope these house buffs are only in pve xD...

[Kakashis]

So to own different locations, we need to own 4 houses plus location? Can we change the location?

You can choose to display any environment that you own. You get a buff for every Environment that you own (regardless of what you choose to show).

[Zeus]

Yes. Everywhere.

Yes. Everywhere.

I don't own an establishment, there for I have some questions.

Can a player own more than one establishment? If so, do the four lands stack for each establishment owned, or would a player have to buy the four lands for each establishment owned, and would those buffs stack?

Thanks in advance,
Ava

3 words. I love it. Especially the display cases.

Players can only own one (1) home at a time. Players can own any number of House Deeds (which they can trade), but they can only have one (1) active House to place furniture, invite friends, etc.

If the player has all of the Locations for their Home, they get all of the associated buffs. Players can choose to display any of the Locations they own without worrying about losing access to one of the buffs.

So if a Home owner has the Forest, the Mountains and the Volcano they'll have the Health, Mana and the Damage buffs active at all times.

[Kakashis]

Sounds like you buy any establishment and then you need to buy the lands. Now it's a matter of cost. I still am strongly against upkeep. 1k plat fine. Just about everything furniture is plat also, fine. But upkeep on the largest, just isn't possible for the free players.

[<KingPete>]

Wait wait, so when is this implementation taking place?

to quote Cinco: "You can choose to display any environment that you own. You get a buff for every Environment that you own (regardless of what you choose to show)."

You can only own one establishment, however you can own all of the environments and receive the buff for the level of your establishment. The Buffs do stack. The particulars of how this works is that if you own a Tavern and buy all of the Environments you will receive 200 Health, 200 mana, 2.0 Damage, and 2% luck reroll. If you decide to downgrade to a Cottage, you still keep the environments but the benefit is reduced to 50 Health, 50 mana, 1.0 Damage, and the luck is no longer applied.

Most twinks are going to hate this, the buff stats are so unnecessarily in pvp.

[Carapace]

Wait wait, so when is this implementation taking place?

I believe this comes out tomorrow
