Housing? Share Your Experience!

Hi o/

I haven't seen much of people's housing on Wynn. I have visited a few public ones here and there, but I wonder if housing is popular. Housing is something I think is something super fun to do, I do like building a lot, but I havent seen many people talk about it.

So I'm asking the question, have you tried housing?

If yes, what have you created? What do you use your island for? Wanna share a picture of your creation?

If no, why haven't you tried it?


Anyways, have an awesome day!

Yes, I tried housing and currently Im building a castle for Fruman Bee, here is a screenshot of it

We even have huge version of our banner inside of it

 

@Kiocifer yoooo

 

didn't really bother cuz I don't find it too useful

 

I checked it out but I haven’t had the time really to actually build something but it seems like a cool and interesting concept, and I think I’ll defiantly (try to) build something in the future

 

I would highly recommend it! Its super fun if you like building and most "normal" blocks use profession materials of low level between 1-50 ish so gathering materials isnt too bad, its like survival but easier since you gather usually 4 materials for 8-15 blocks

 

I have tried a little, though gathering materials isn't much fun and other than banks and testing dummies nothing is really overly interesting

 

Unless... check this out



forgot to post it for a while, almost complete

 

Sounds like you've never ran ONOL

 

What an awesome build!! And you included the eye, amazing! :)

 

Housing seems really cool but I'm waiting for co-op housing to come out before I get started on anything

 

i like the concept. But I haven’t had time to build annything. And im to lazy for gathering. also trying to lvl all my classes to at least 101+ rn and thats taking a kinda long ass time

 

Heres my housing that ive been working on for a while, still not quite finished though.



View of the center.



It even comes with its own custom guild tower:



Just another view from the front



The amount of materials i needed to make this is insane, but its very rewarding to see it almost finished.

(Pls add a biome changing option btw)

 

Wow that is amazing, such a detailed and well put build! How did you get those mythic blocks?

 

I made a resource pack that retextures purple glazed terracotta.

 

I really like housing but I think the limited space for non Hero rank is a petty bad feature because it limits the scale of creations.
Projects like this just arent't possible for most people. I also kind of prefer the vanilla way of getting building blocks but in the context of Wynn it just makes sense to connect it to professions

 

oh thats genius!

________________________________

Your build is really cool! I like it :)
Yeah, it seems pretty small the limited space :((
When it comes to gathering I dont mind it because you get more blocks than you would in reality, so even if professions can be grindy sometimes, 4 materials for 15 blocks is a really good deal compared with vanilla

 

to be completely honest i was one of the people who, prior to the 1.20 trailer being released, completely detested that any form of housing being added to the game; it didn't make sense to me for it to be added as i believed it would take away from the core focus of the game and builds that the content team worked on

but now that its actually here my beliefs dont really hold true as the overwhelming majority of players either don't care about housing or want to actually invest into it
when i first saw the trailer i was praying that blocks wont have to be purchasable with emeralds and honestly intertwining housing with professions was ingenious, but also that same correlation is what seems to turn so many people off in the first place. i personally have my gathering to where i can get every material myself but i rather pay someone else to get them because the price for blocks and the amount you get is just... really bad at the moment

im hooked on housing myself now and its really disappointing to me that so many people completely ignore it
whenever i get my plot to something im nearly content with as a final product id love to share it, but i still usually leave my housing on public whenever im afk/building

 

ill be more critical here, i think housing has a good bit of potential and the execution was fine but at the moment i think its held back by bugs and glaring design oversights

i was pretty excited to do housing at first, got onto my plot and realized oh ok i guess ill have to manually clear all of this grass that is incredibly finicky and sometimes (most of the time) reappears because of lag, however i attributed it mostly to lag and let it go, which is kind of a mistake as it's evident with basically all block placement and makes it a huge hassle. on top of that, theres a lot of bugs with housing that make it so some things just dont work at all (try placing a painting and relogging, youll notice that every time you relog for some reason to painting gets closer to ascending to the heavens block by block each time you do it)

on top of that, we had to wait far too long for something as sensible as co-op housing to make building far less tedious. i think itll get better over time (assuming their servers get better over time too, which is a bit generous) but at the moment i dont plan to bother with it any more than the initial tests that i did in both hero beta and live unfortunately

 

I love housing. I was super excited when I saw the 1.20 trailer (though I was severely disappointed to learn that build stands were locked behind Champion).
When it was released I quickly bought all the prof stations and made a little profession "shrine" while I planned my permanent house in creative and hollowed out all the dirt (I have published the housing plot template I made here).
After several generous donations of voidstone I have been able to complete the main upper structure, however I still need to add a lot of detail, and the arena I have planned for inside the hill.
I am currently taking a break from wynn, so I don't have any up to date screenshots, but this is one I took from the back some time ago. Since then I have finished towers, filled in the floors, completed the back walls and arches and removed all the grass, among other things.

Housing has contributed a lot to guild bonding. We often hang out at each others houses to chat, check in on how our building is going, identify tomes after raids and play games/ duel. Early on we also came up with a dueling arena in the sky where we fought with depressing weapons and tried to knock each other off / capture the flag (open the fence gate). I anticipate the upcoming housing pvp settings making this type of thing a lot easier and more popular.
I have also found housing very convenient for meeting up with people, as there is no longer the need to travel to the same location to trade, or in my case, fill crafting requests.


It used to be that people could visit public houses on any word and get transferred automatically to the world of the owner. This was great, as I would set my house to public while building and chat to the people who came to visit. It was a nice way to get to know more people in wynn. There seems to be a bug at the moment where it just tells you that the owner of the house is not online if you are not on the same world as them, which I hope gets resolved. Since that started happening I've been getting far fewer visitors.
There is also a bug with crafted armor on housing rapidly decreasing durability, even when standing still, which makes doing profs on my plot quite costly in terms of scrap.

Overall I am enjoying housing even more than I thought I would. I love building my house, and I love seeing what other people have built. I am excited every time I join a plot for the first time. I think the upcoming additions look awesome, and I hope the bugs I mentioned get fixed.
If you haven't tried housing yet I'd highly recommend it. It is great to create your own little island in wynncraft.
