Does anyone place them anymore, other than castles and keeps?
Yes.Does anyone place them anymore, other than castles and keeps?
Wouldn't it be nice if the DEV's redid the crystal to look decent?????I wish we could semi-customize castles and keeps. I mean like add teleporters, doors, windows, and cosmetic stuff.
Uriah I agree about the crystal custom house tiles just ugh. There's a Luna house on our shard that is made of nothing but those, I refer to it as the fortress of solitude meets smurf blue hell.
I think it'd be nice to add some new classic houses.
Now that's what I'm talking about - the classic design with some personal alterations - I applaud your skill - building from scratch seems to be the only option now - it would be much easier to place a classic house and then be able to tinker with it a bit - have the developers said if that's a possibility?I love the classic designs, but I also love to build. Here I've copied the design from the Bank in east Britain and the interieur is inspired by a Farm House and the old Smith Shop.

Looks just like my "Large Smithy" home placed by deed back in 98 only A LOT nicer
Beautifully done Sir !!
Very nice Piotr!
Thank you all!Now that's what I'm talking about - the classic design with some personal alterations - I applaud your skill - building from scratch seems to be the only option now - it would be much easier to place a classic house and then be able to tinker with it a bit - have the developers said if that's a possibility?
EDIT: I think this suggestion would pay off, since houses are one of main reasons people open second accounts
Seeing nice-looking houses is one thing. Knowing how to build them is another. What I would really like to see is an easier way to build houses so they like nice, especially roofs.I think the only one of my houses on GL'S that I would concede is a cube would be my Theatre. .. but it's more of a need to get the most space from the building allowing for more seats. .. Don't think any of the others are cubes not counting the Keep and Castle.
If you would like a tour just PM me and I'll be happy to meet up with you and show you around.
Here is an excellent Roof Guide that might be helpful.and 2. Apparently most people have not mastered the arcane art of putting a hipped roof on an 18x18. (I've tried it myself and given up)
Yeah, probably. I hope you'll figure it out that way.So indeed, we EC users should switch to CC when building a roof?
This is true. I've adapted to just knowing which tiles are which. It's a skill... however I've mentioned to Pinco about the missing tips on the roofs he says they are their but they aren't.Yes, that's the guide I followed last time I tried to make a roof, and I couldn't ever get it right. That's why I'm calling it an arcane and difficult art that I don't see many people accomplishing. Maybe because I was using EC? Did I hear somebody saying this is easier in the CC?
EDIT:I noticed this note at the bottom of the guide

You might want to note for users of the Enhanced Client that it does not have the helpful tooltips for roof tiles that the Classic Client does. EC users should keep a working copy of the CC on their computers for tasks such as this.
Many thanks for this article. Many folks just skip roofing altogether because it is so obtuse."
