World Housing Improvement

Hi everyone ! First I want to give all credit to @nightbaker because it's his video that gave me those idea's about how can housing be improved and I was kinda surprised that he didn't already created a thread on the forum or something to suggest this.

I wont repeat what he already said but I highly recommend you watching his video.

Introduction

It is true that housing is a bit abondoned for what it has to give. I think that from all the things the CT has created, housing is the feature with the biggest potential of all because it's a open door to infinite content and replayability. We always ask for more but major updates are too spread and there is a lack of content between them. So, what if we could create our own content ...

Part 1 : Visibility

- Before giving the possibility to create new content, the lack of visibility and releventness should be corrected.
Instead of having "Island of [name of the player]" we should have the possibility to rename it but also to asign a category to the island (like : parkour; arena; builds; etc ...) this way players can find exactly what they are looking for.

- The "Join another player's house" feature needs to be universal (not just for your lobby/world) but also keep displaying disconnected player's housing, this way players will have bigger choice of housings to visit.

- Lastly a notation system or a "featured housings" section could help players to find the best islands

Part 2 : Content

- Custom dungeons could be a great way to offer players some fresh challenges and replayability, just imagine having the possibility of creating your own dungeon (In a lighter way of course). Select the mobs you want inside, add puzzles, and of course build it the way you want ! Giving the possibility to players to create their own fully equiped dungeon will guarantee infinite content for them (just look at BO3 custom maps).

- A simple tool allowing players to create a mob with the stats and spells they want (spells that already exist of course) can also be a great way for them to have replayable content, this way they can create their own custom bossfights and challenge themselfs or try the bosses from other players.

- Minigames like CTF, TDM, Domination, etc... could be a great way to enjoy PvP, a system allowing players to create teams and objectives inside their housings should be added so they can create battles and minigames more easely.

Conclusion

Player housing as an infinite amount of potential and with the right tool players could enjoy themselves creating content for others or just try some featured islands. It is crucial to improve housing because it is one of the most under-rated Wynncraft content. By adding thoses features and by lowering the materials cost, housing could become more casual and attractive for newcomers and players will have even more possibilities to express their creativity !


Thank you all for reading ! I hope you enjoyed this thread and if you have any suggestion, feel free to put it in the comments

Forgive me if I did some grammatical mistakes
And here's the video from @nightbaker :

 

This is all great but they will make 90% of these great features only accesible to ranked players which destroys everything u worked for, salted pls dont

 

Nah I dont see why. But I hope they wont do something restricted to ranked players only.

 

honestly they should add a creative mode so (almost) every block can be used in builds for creativity and stuff if this does happen, would be interesting

 

I think making all players have access to their full island but giving ranked players access to more islands would be cool idea. So for example, alot of players including me have made a massive build that takes up an entire island, I think alot of us would like the ability to buy another island and build something with a different theme to it. (also give me a delete floor button because mining out all the dirt was a pain (especially with the ghost block bug))

 

I do want to say regarding the video water, redstone related blocks, as well as gray vines aren't really feasible as peaceable blocks due to how they function (block physics are off, and the vines are vines rotated at certain angles, for example gray water might be vines rotated to the roof + north rotation idk exact angle but that is the idea)

while cool I don't think there is any "simple" version of this, although simply having a way to set a damage amount you would like to reach in a certain amount of time might be plausable as a dps check.

 

Thanks for making this I honestly didn't even consider to make a forum post and love how ya worded everything, keep it up :D

 

I agree, farming for materials kinda destroys the creativity (for me at least)

Thank you, happy to see you liked it

When I was saying "simple" it's from a player perspective (simple for the player to use). But yes I know that things like that are kinda tricky to code but it still could be hella cool to have in game

 

Bumping it, it would be sad to forget about this
