I get a feeling that a lot of hideout decor are gonna be MTXs... Not complaining though, revenue for GGG is always good and it'll be nice to buy something other than stash tabs and skill effects seeing as I'm not a fan of armour and weapon skins. Just hoping that there are gonna be some nice decors that you can obtain without having to spend. Decorations as race rewards anyone?

I will admit, this is the one thing that gave me just a tiny bit of sad about this awesome update. Another big MTX timesink for GGG's graphics folks probably implies they won't be getting around to the genderswap MTX I've been dreaming of since I first heard about the game anytime soon.

Oh well, that'd be a very expensive undertaking for them anyway, and if this update and the new MTX make them lots of money that'll make it much more doable for them. hype

Here some info from Chris concerning this:

I'm a saltwater girl so my dream would be a small island off the coast with an old/derelict lighthouse, driftwood shacks, a small pier for a sailboat - basically the rust & driftwood Wraeclast version of the stuff you find in the Swedish skerries, e.g. off Stockholm: Stockholm archipelago - these guys nailed it pretty good: :-) & :-D

But a tent somewhere in a forest would be cool, too :-) Basically I'll be really happy if we can get nice stuff to decorate but not over the top shiny items making everyone's little corner in the wilderness look like Solaris. I.e. keeping it the makeshift place of an exile, not a palace. Tents, rugs and fur > gold and tapestry :-)

I imagine that both "makeshift exile hideout" and "palace" will be options for the appearance of your hideout. The latter seems likely for MTX--the theme with armour and FX so far seems to be that the dingy setting-fitting stuff is default and that if you want shiny pretty eye-hurty that's MTX. I'm fine with this: even more fine with it for hideouts than for armour and FX, because at least I don't have to see anyone else's hideout. (Also, for what it's worth, the Solaris Temple is actually an in-lore location, so it wouldn't necessarily be setting-inappropriate to have, say, a restored ancient palace or temple or mansion. It just implies that you've become wealthy enough to pay other exiles for luxuries like having them repair and maintain the fancy ancient dwelling you've claimed.)

Speaking of MTX, I just had an idea for a hideout MTX I want. One that lets you design different hideouts to suit individual characters rather than just having one hideout for all of your characters in a given league.

That said I actually think your idea for a hideout is pretty sweet. The mental image it gives me has a very Act 1 feel.

EDIT: herp derp I missed Nightmare's post nevermind me I cannot brain today I has the dumb

A clouded abyss with a drug plot.

Still not sure how this hideout system will work. How to get in? Is it random at first entry or can you choose the environment art sets? However, sounds interesting and if it's good I may even come back to PoE after a long break due pure frustration.

You get in at first by reaching a high enough reputation level with each Master. Probably will be either random or a fixed one for each master to start with, but you'll have the chance to customize yours later.

My real hope is that if it's really a "town" instance that you actually start your secession there. I'll never have to see another player ever ever again. One more step towards perfection.
