Defiance - House

[Komakala]

Look into the towns they actually have buildings that are in tact 100%

Take a bit and count the number of buildings intact and compare it to the number that were decimated. Sure there are some here and there but the vast majority of the buildings have been reduced to rubble.

That's because there are only a few Safe spots in the entire map

i would rather see Clan housing rather then individual housing, clans can then work towards opening up more storage space and other little goodies, or at the very least some sort of storage locker for individuals

"Alright guys, I just finished building my house by hand." BOOM. Arkfall on your house. No house for you.

[Kane]

OMG OMG OMG yeah, i want that, and to be able to clean the windows, paint it any color you want, and maybe get some flower pots in the window, and a nice welcome mat on the front door so cool, and the option to customize your own doorbell theme , next to the house there should be a garage for the atv and/or car, and a dog, we must have a dog, that acts like a tamagochi (or whatever they were called) that actually dies if you don't take care of him. And also the weapons should come in pink or violet and with fur or pony stickers ...

wtf do we need a house for?

[M00N]

But wouldn't it be nice to have a place to store some of your weapons ? That you might not want to get rid of

rambo dosent need a house!

Joke aside, some kind of storage would be nice! maybe a trunk in the vehicles? As many of us would be mobile and moving about anyways following the Arkfalls! (X Extra slots? not accesible without interacting with the vehicle?) But with all the slots i dont really think it will be needed

[Buruko]

Even though Defiance is a TPS it would still be nice if we would eventually be able to have our own house, or bank; i feel as if the house will give us more customization options.

Hopefully, they might come out with a DLC to where you can buy a house somewhere in a town, almost like Skyrim.

The way it could work is if you have 1 house that everyone can buy but you can visit your friends house by entering the house and entering the persons name then it could create an instance for you and whoever else wants to join.

What do you guys think?

This is a a veiled attempt to garner some sort of storage system, and I for one don't like it. 'Apartments' didn't work well in AO, land lots and plots are hard to control manipulate in an open world environment, and lets face it the few 'towns' you find are a little more than sturdy walls to keep out bugs, a tiny farm house or some such, and maybe a few barns. No one is living in a lap of luxury here. Not to mention your an Ark hunter your traveling too and fro hunting falling debris, your nomadic, that is your lifestyle. A house or a place to 'settle down' doesn't make much sense.

Now if you want some place to store things, why not something that makes sense? Like a traveling convoy, driven by some smarmy Liberata who for a fee will tow your 'foot locker', you find him from time to time in different zones so you can check your locker and maybe stock up on ammo. Theme it so that he has the necessaries like food, water, beer, showers, rental bunks, etc. Hell make it a dynamic event when you encounter him 'Defend the Convoy' so you can earn his respect and get some storage space.

Don't ask for something that doesn't fit to just get something you want, suggest something that fits the world and can do what you really want.

Well, it could be an instance, similar to LOTRO with their houses, but more post-apocalyptic. The first purchase would be a tent or something and you could slowly upgrade it to a mansion if you get enough credits.

this unless it the actual town of Defiance, i dont see where owning a house would fit.

I see these APS mailing things around where you complete some side quest.... Maybe players could use those in the future to have some sort of storage in a central place in the Bay area that everyone can conjugate at.

I would like this Idea also if random times throughout the day the Clan stronghold could be assaulted by NPCs much like an arkfall event dependent on the amount of players on and/or clan specific patrol missions instanced within the Stronghold zone for clan/stronghold upgrade exp. Almost like a shanty Old West fort.
