Instanced Player Housing

  • Instanced Player Housing

    It would serve as the starting place for any pirate and could at log in screen. Players could store extra supplies, change all of their equipment, and decorate the interior and exterior of their house to show how far they've come.

    Players could have an instanced area that they can walk into to take them to their house similar to the pirate legend area but not hidden away. Players can also invite others to come into their home.

    Different sized houses should be available for purchase.
    Starting with a cabin that the player gets for free when discovering this feature.

    cabin - 1 room - free
    cottage - 3 rooms - 50,000
    townhouse - 6 rooms - 110,000
    mansion - 11 rooms - 220,000
    pirate legend estate - 20 rooms - 1,000,000

    With house furniture would also have to become a feature. Another shop could be put in on islands or it could be in the instanced area with the players house.

    Some furniture and their use could be:

    money chest - To store money
    trunk - to store items
    Wardrobe - To store and change clothes
    Mannequin - To display favorite clothing sets
    Gun Rack - To Display favorite guns
    Sword Rack - To display favorite swords
    Chairs - to sit in
    beds - to sleep in
    Table - to put stuff on
    wall paints - to change the color of the walls inside and out.
    interior lights - to change the lighting color of certain rooms
    banana trees - to grow bananas from inside or outside a home
    paintings - decoration
    potted plants - decoration
    rugs - decoration
    music boxes - to play music at home
    Barrels - to store items
    Grog Barrel - To refill grog
    Window - To see through an area
    table scale - decoration
    paper and quill - decoration
    tapestry - decoration
    Large crate of cannonballs - store cannonballs
    Dock - a dock on the side of the house for a hefty price to display your favorite ship loadout(not sailable at this time)

    or
    here's another idea I came up with https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/61332/the-new-boathouse-sloop

  • An actual house added wouldn't benefit the game and would just cause needless problems/glitches. Most of these ideas could be added however to ships customization which many people have asked for.

  • I agree I think it would be fun for another money sink. But I would also rather a very deep level of ship customization first.

  • Yes its definitely only a money sink but with how many expansions are planned the game might need it eventually. Also I agree, I'd prefer a lot more ship customization first.

  • While I'd rather see resources focused elsewhere, I think the obvious missed opportunity here would be to have house boats instead of cabins.

  • I like the idea. As far as it not benefiting the game that can be argued any which way based on perspective. Any content is open to problems/glitches.

    If anything the OP suggestion is TOO in depth. It would require a lot to be added to a game.

    If anything it would be cool to get maybe an instanced cave/cove 'housing' where its just your docked ship and maybe a campfire hammock and supplies(cosmetic crates and the like nothing functional) or a tiny shack with a hammock in it and a campfire on the beach. Throw in a few customizations for it to spend gold on and if anything implement trophies for the content campaigns you can earn and display.

    As much as I like the super in depth idea I think it would be a bit much for the game as it stands now. Unless the game develops in that direction naturally it would be wasted resources to work towards.

  • A house would be nice but I think I'd rather have this level of customisation available on the boat... Being able to save supplies etc for the next time you log in would be great.

  • how about this?

  • Sounds like a kame house. All want one but helps not at all

  • i'd take a house. i really just want a legendary pirate stash though, where the gold pile grows larger and shinier the more gold you put in it...
