Defiance - House

[Avenger]

I would like to have some place I can store excess weapons, mods and shields - whether it is a menu option at a vendor or a physical location I don't mind, but somewhere to store stuff other than your limited inventory (or paying real money for a larger inventory) would be nice.

It could also be handy for clans or groups to share items with other clan members if they had a location only they had access to.

Hmmm, not sure about a house. Seems contrary to the theme/story. A clan building/safe house/bunker (underground?) fits better.

However, being a drifter, I don't want to carry a huge load with me. At the same time, there will be things I don't always use that I want to keep (or pass on later to others).

A bank of sorts would help, rather than an enormous inventory to sift through each time. Plus, I want to keep it organised and free for maximum looting potential.

A personal 'lock box' at the same place as the lock box stores?

I see no real need for a house. We arent supposed to stockpile hundreds of guns/sheilds/etc... break them down for resources or sell them.

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.

The town of Defiance is far far far away from the area where the game takes place which is the San Francisco Bay area. So there is no Defiance (town) in the game.

You get a larger personal inventory for free as you gain rankings, however up front space can be bought.

I'm sure as the game progresses some sort of storage method will be devised however I want something that fits in the game, something that makes since, something organic. If I just see them plop down little terminals everywhere with the word 'bank' on them I would be disappointed.

Also I do believe that their is no form of auction house or crafting in depth? That one thing I will miss, as with mmo its always great to chase the best gear and also craft my own gear. I can't wait for this game but I feel like I may be chasing just my level cap.

Although it does seem like they have not released much details about gear so I could be wrong.

I seem to remember at least one vendor area that had an Inn of sorts and non-functional rooms for rent. Renting a room to store stuff / decorate would be well within the storyline IMHO. I seriously doubt all these ARK hunters sleep under the stars every night, especially since there would be a huge chance of being eaten or attacked in your sleep.

It could be done ala EQII, where everyone shares the same door, but has their personal room instance.

I probably wouldn't mind if this game eventually gives us some kind of Defiance themed "housing" options but I certainly don't need that to be a top development priority. If this game is still around several years from now then houses could be added then, long after many other cooler and/or more essential content features are added to the game first.

[MacGrube]

A clan hideout is cool, every clan could have their own underground bunker but it's not necessary for Defiance maybe in a future dlc.

[HatTrick]

Woah why so negative for this idea? I quite like the idea... Maybe rather than taking up space with them, you just teleport in and out of them and can invite friends and such

Because we're supposed to be hardcore survivors of a cataclysm not a bunch of poosays playing Ken & Barbie's dream house.

I'd like to see it. It's entirely within the lore and if players want to be drifters, they don't have to use it.
