We were over the thing not long ago, the next expansion of World of Warcraft will allow players to have their own housing, their own fief !
No instances or portals, the fief will be directly integrated into the world.
You should know that we will not be alone in this space: NPCs, called Subjects, can be added to the fiefdom. It is possible to recruit basic but also to earn them over the course of our adventures, by completing quests or even by paying mercenaries.
These characters allow us to improve our stronghold or our equipment. For it, they have skills, of various capacities such as mining or herbalism for example and we will be able to send them on mission in order to bring us the requested elements. There are common, unusual, rare, and epic topics. Their rarity affects the number of specialties they can have.
They move in the stronghold or occupy positions according to our requests. The system is dynamic since a subject who failed to complete a dungeon could be captured there! It's up to you to free him from this dungeon ... If he made the coffee right, you might as well save him! Speaking of missions, it is also possible to send groups of subjects so that they do not wander alone; Convenient ! The resources gathered during these missions include crafting components for our professions, but also specific materials for our stronghold. If a subject was asked to bring back herbs via herbalism, he might also find some specific items that could be used to construct or improve our buildings.
It is also possible to equip and name your subjects, convenient to recognize them easily. Here is George, my blacksmith! They will increase in levels when you pass levels 90 to 100. We can thus have tank subjects, other DPS and even why not a healer.
Several buildings can be constructed like the farm, stable, mine, armory and others ... But also improved. They will thus take up more places, will be more imposing within your fiefdom. For example, an improved barracks will allow you to send more subjects on missions, at the same time.
It exists several types of locations for our buildings. For example, the smallest will be mainly used for crafts, while the larger ones for a probable barracks. The more our stronghold progresses, the more places we will have for our buildings in order to enlarge our beautiful fortress.
What about the appearance of these buildings? They will be different than either the Alliance or the Horde but it is also possible to arrange and locate them differently. You will be able to place your garrison in one of the regions of Draenor of your choice and place the buildings wherever you want within your garrison. You can also change the aspects, effects or even the decorations of these buildings. All buildings can specialize in order to be as efficient as possible. We can for example improve the mission time for mineral missions or get more rare minerals in type missions and many others.
Your allies of the same faction will be able to join you in your stronghold if they have grouped with you. They have the freedom to roam around your home, discuss with your subjects and even trade with you in order to exchange various natural resources or fiefdom resources.
So, what do you think of this dynamic Blizzard-style housing system?
What will be your main activities within your fiefdom?
