World Housing Balloons

So I'm someone who plays Wynncraft mostly for it's amazing map and enjoyable story and so I don't really care too much for the new housing features which seem rather out of place. However, because it's not a very major feature that doesn't tie in with other aspects of the game it doesn't bother me too much and can be ignored easily.

What I can't ignore however, are the super rainbow housing hot-air balloons plopped throughout the map.

It's definitely not a very urgent or necessary change, but one thing that I've always loved about this game it's sense of atmosphere and it's really hard for me to believe that a rainbow balloon would just be sitting by the entrance of rustic, wooden, snow-covered Nesaak, or that another rainbow balloon would park itself two inches from the Troms statue's butt.

I think the change for this would be fairly simple. Either theme the balloons around the locations they're in, or maybe scrap the balloons altogether for something a little less conspicuous.

 

Please add a poll

 

i completely agree, every city having this huge rainbow balloon seems really out of place, having a custom one for the theme of every city would probably be the best solution imo.

 

yeah, imo they really detract from the map.

personally, i'd prefer if they weren't balloons, but were instead area-specific teleporters, for example, corkus could use a cannon similar to the one used to get to the balloon above the city, the void could use one of the launch pads, etc

 

I agree completely and I also think in some cities their positioning is just a bit lazy. The worst case of this is in Rodoroc as the statue with the crossbow is literally just poking through the balloon.

Also in a city such as Detlas, why wouldn't the balloon be in the airbase, like fair enough it's a bit of a walk but it just seems weird that some guy can just park their balloon in the town centre. Same thing goes to Cinfras but i can at least understand that Levtus is a bit further away but still, what's the point of the city having an airbase if the people aren't gonna use it?

I also hate the balloon in the void cause the bright colours such ruin the atmosphere when you explore it and likewise Lleveigar's balloon (sits right outside the Gavel Gate), breaks the immersion when you walk into gavel - it also doesn't help how that one is also a champion exclusive location so it means there is an ad just shoved in your face in what is meant to be quite a cool moment - They could have atleast put that balloon on the docks no?
