    Can you show us which feedback posts exactly was the "houses with benefits" feature based on?

    Thank you.

    The generalization is that we responded to the notion that "housing serves no purpose for most players", and we have added the Mail System in addition to the environments to address some of those concerns to get more people invested. We also have reduced the upkeep costs to allow lower tier housing to be handled almost entirely for free.

    I see maybe one post there, which specifically calls for tangible benefits. If that's your "feedback", alright then. Like I said, you obviously decided to ignore the previous thread, where this suggestion was opposed by a ton of people. I'm sorry, if I'm too blunt, but these are the facts.

    Regards.

    This is the kind of update that will indefinitely guide people to take a perma leave.
    Your Literally making the players who could give a flying funk about housing have no choice but to get them if they wanna compete and that's quite a shame. Gimmicks like these make people like me question where this companies integrity has gone and if they even care about us the gamers, or at this point if its all about 1 thing and 1 thing only$£€¥ ?

    yes this seems like a offlandish idea, its a bit extreme to allow such a difference in stats to those who can afford it.. its rather silly and i think it completely removes any fairness in the game. As it stands i spend a fair amount of my salary on this game every month, buying plat and trying to compete. Now i feel like I must be FORCED to spend 1k plat on something i "optionally" chose to not invest in before. guys im no millionaire or rich kid, I think this is getting a lil ridiculous. i work hard in real life, that im paying so much for this game and now you come up with this kind of idea -.- Please think about the ramifications of your actions.

    Um, I still cannot sit in my chair WHILE enjoying a nice cold Modelo !!!

    Any Dev feel like addressing this as this is the 4th time I am writing about not being able to sit my butt down in my chair and sip my beer from my magical mug!! It would be so nice to do those at the same time.

    While you're at it, can I get a House Man to rub my tired feet at the same time I am sitting and drinking from my magical mug?!

    Thank-you devs, for the multiple privacy options for our houses. Nobody wants to be caught red-handed while lying in bed with somebody else or enjoying a private frolick in their new hottub xD

    I want to know more about this undersea environment as about 2 years ago my daughter thought such an addition to AL would be extremely fun and imaginative!

    Thanks,
    Msleo

    So far so good.. The slot for weapons is my favorite thing on ALL housing features, i believe it ll give another life for oldstyle weapons and i hope we can get the same with clothes.
    I would like to see the tickets tradeable even if they arent plat expensive

    I agree! This should bring some life into Collectables! At least help make newer characters aware of what collectables are vs junk that gets peddled in the streets...

    Perhaps the bonus should be scaled to level. At level 56, the extra 200 hp and +2 damage (really +10 once multiplied), is not so great that it will break the game. But at level 10, that is a 15% increase in hp for my Mage, which is a big deal.

    Even if I was to have a house (which I'm not sure that I even want), I don't want to have to have one for each of my characters. I understand that sharing the pet stable presented issues between characters in that the pets would be at the wrong levels. However, sharing a house between characters surely would make more sense.

    While I love the new updates and all, I just don't think these buffs should be applied in PvP. It'll be a free massacre in there. New players with no buffs won't stand a chance. Just my honest opinion.

    Wow, this thread has gotten pretty heated. But I dont get all the opposition.
    What is the difference if I spend 300 plat a month on opening crates or buying luck elixers to sell for gold so I can buy all the best equipment and pets vs spending plat on a house for better stats????

    Doesnt that give me an edge over freetoplay players? So why should anything be sold for plat since that gives paying players an advantage in every aspect. The truth is if you spend real world money on plat you do have an advantage over non-plat players, wether it is for a house that gives a buff or to make 6mil gold to buy that new arcane weapon only a few others have.

    Am I the only one that sees that plat players or rich players will always have an advantage no matter what the system is.

    @ thekragle
    the difference I see is that we won't be selling houses in ah which makes the difference in it being available to all in the same way that crate gear is obtainable by a farmer who doesn't have plat.
    Did I miss where this is available to free players realistically?

    Dude, its not just the housing that's the issue. Its the environments required for the stat bonus'+the already insanely expensive housing+ the upkeep=insanity. Why would anyone want another type of "meta" aspect implemented? Para and eyes weren't a lesson learned I guess.
    This will mean those in both pvp and pve will be considered sub par without these bonuses and the new standard that's gonna be set because of it will have negative ramifications on the game as a whole.

    You CAN own a home and you will NEVER lose your home for not paying rent. However you can choose to open your house for the specified amount of rent at any time.

    We're not on the same page, I'll phrase this more simply.
    Can I buy these statistical buffs with gold, without rl $, or the obligation of rent? Say I don't care about houses.

    I'm surprised to see such a negative reaction to these buffs. I understand PvP concerns, but PvE players should have nothing to be upset about.
