HUGE WoW Housing Update! – Blizzard Is COMING For FF14

I know it's been a hot minute since we posted a video. We've got a ton of cool things on the docket we're working on – we just had our hands full with the truckathon and then holidays and getting back into the swing of things with Monster Hunter on stream which has taken all of Mike's attention. In the meantime though Holly Longdale leapt off the top rope with a massive housing update for WoW which seems to be coming straight for FF14.

Blizzard always used to be the company that wouldn't do things first, but would learn from the people that did things first and do them better. It lost sight of that for a long time (safe to say at this point, given all we've learned, that Activision was a major part of this). I'm hoping that we start to see this again.

Thumbnail really has that "Political Party is AFRAID of BOMBSHELL announcement." and it's never substantiated. Just exists to rile people up and create drama where drama need not exist.

I can't see how they suddenly want to foster community, when the game itself as a whole is more or less single player, by which I mean the leveling process. They killed off the community a long time ago and they have done nothing since then to even attempt to foster it back into the game. The fact is this just screams of desperation by Blizzard. I can't see how this would even work. I have been playing wow since Vanilla, I have stopped and come back multiple times over the years because I became incredibly bored of the same old systems. They talk about how wow is aimed at casual players, because that is what makes up their numbers. I have found wow to be an incredibly lonely place to play. Everyone I knew stopped and went off to FF XIV and never came back, and I have never really experienced the fun I did since they left. WoW has become an incredibly toxic game over the years, and while it might be fun for the time being in having housing, you just know they are going to do another cash grab in the blizzard shop, or most of the stuff you might want will be gate locked behind doing something like hard raids or high tier mythics, don't ever put it past them to do this shenanigans. I wish I could share this excitement because I wanted player housing during Burning Crusade, and if we do have neighborhoods, unless its guild neighborhoods, I simply can't for the life of me see this doing anything for any community, since most people do keep to themselves, which kind of makes neighborhoods pointless. I hope people enjoy the player housing, but I know I won't be rushing out first thing when this content is released, I probably won't even bother with housing, because if I am going to be forced into a community that could be quite toxic then it's not for me. The community boat sailed over the horizon never to return when they first added lfg / lfr and since then they have done more to not foster community than anything else.

My main worry from what they've said is that it sounds like your house will be account-wide (meaning that for all your alts combined you get one alliance house and one horde house), and if that's true that is going to make it utterly impossible to theme a house after a character.

I don’t see how player housing can actually work in wow. Y’all don’t get your hopes up, these kinds of features literally never work out.

Legendary ring.

Blizzard is going to break their whole game with housing lol. Something is going to break 😂

Really scared for this feature. I’m afraid us fans will dream and fantasize about the things we want to see and be ultimately disappointed with the outcome

Feels like the editing took a big step up in this video, very tight and engaging video! Good job pg team 😁

That one line from Blizzard… it sounded childish and not necessary at all… Yoshi P has not been negative about WoW in any way, has even shared his admiration about it. And yet Blizzard goes weeh weeh, we gonna do it better, we ARE better! Childish behavior, imo…
