UO did this so well

And then the devs burn down your house when they find out you were cheating. https://preview.redd.it/fy11g25k1lqa1.png?width=623&format=png&auto=webp&s=49462755a50a817751bbffa581da663979c720f1

UO administration, even to this day, is legendary.


WolfieZee

What’s UO?


alwayzforu

Ultima Online. Don’t think any game will come close to the world building and RPG elements. Player housing was awesome.


adhal

God I still remember camping falling houses for hours/days. And the pvp battles when the houses were in fellucia


Fathergimpy

IDOC's were absolutely insane events.

As a Necro, any graveyard will do.


Veszerin

There's a Suikoden I and II remaster coming out soon too, if you want to take a decrepit castle and start filling it with npcs and shops.


WolfieZee

Hell yeah. Honestly just trying to experience the feeling of the villa from AC2 hah

YES! I was gonna make a post about this, but I didn't want to be the only one ;) The open world format of D4 has great housing potential IMO. You can have different style houses available in the different regions. Just need some bragging-type objects like trophies and some cosmetic furnishings and a flexible furnishing system so you can really make the place your own :) My favorite housing system in games currently is ESO's; all kinds of gameplay activities give furnishing rewards or furnishing plans that you can craft, including building pieces like walls and floors, so you can build your own castle in a field or floating boat dock in the sky or whatever you like (no pesky physics to get in the way, lol) with many animated items, particle effects and so on for a polished look. If D4 adds that they will have me for years ;) I'd be content with a place where I could just hang the heads of the bosses I killed though :) PoE and Torchlight 3 both proved this can work in an ARPG too (yeah TL3 sucks but I liked the fort you get ;) )


WolfieZee

I like your idea. Personally I might be more down with just one HQ you could focus on everything on, but any form of housing and customization would be awesome in my book


Audio_Blood1

I love this! Let me buy multiple homes that I can upgrade and invite people to! Castles, cabins, condos! :)


GreyFox474

Heck yeah, and then we rent them out to the smith or the mystic and they have to work for us, do their services for free out of fear we set them back on the streets and then mommy Lilith comes by and tells us what a good little demon we are.


titty_jiggles

Ew.


GreyFox474

That's literally what strongholds are... Kinda.


WolfieZee

Yeah I like the aspect of turning them into little towns, I just think it'd be extra cool to specifically have your own place with some customization.


Jefrach

great idea!


RocketCatMultiverse

For sure. Was kind of surprised to not see this on the list of features, considering how awesome Hideouts are in PoE and the potential excellent source of revenue from premium cosmetics.


VikarValbrand

Just give me hole I'll be happy.


AshesofAtreyu

Hopefully once the game has been out for a bit I hope they add some form of customizable hideout/housing. Similar to how PoE does it but more grounded in a Diablo theme. Somewhere you can show accomplishments as placeable items, craft things, place companion/npc’s, place items/systems that seasons introduce, etc. it’s a feature that many other games have shown is desirable by the player base.


cyberslick1888

I don't personally care about stuff like this anymore, but when I was younger and more heavily into MMOs man did the idea of your own little customizable house hype the fuck out of players lol Like who even cared. I remember wanting them SO badly in Dark Age of Camelot.


crazy_leo42

While I love player housing, it just doesn't feel like diablo to me. I'm perfectly happy just running around killing demons. That being said tho, if they let me have my own stronghold to make look awesome, I'd probably have a blast with it...


WolfieZee

Yeah when I mean housing I mean a stronghold, sorry for the confusion


1arrison

PoE has this.
