House Decay and IDOC System
- Players will see the Decay Stage of a house when single-clicking its sign if they are an Owner, Co-Owner, or Friend of the house
- Like New
- Slightly Worn
- Somewhat Worn
- Fairly Worn
- Greatly Worn
- In Danger of Collapsing
- Each Stage of house decay takes 7 days to pass, with an additional random 1-24 hours added on to the greatly worn stage, with the exception of "In Danger of Collapsing"
- Players must wait 2 seconds in between lifting items left behind when a house "drops" due to IDOC
House Owner Refreshing
- IDOC cycle is 35-36 days long. If 30 days of that cycle go by without owner being the one to refresh the house, it is now up to the owner exclusively to be the one to refresh it
- Anytime a Co-owner or Friend refreshes a house (by clicking the House Sign or using the Front Door), it will give them a system message informing them how long they have until the Owner is required to refresh the house
- Co-Owners and Friends of a house who click on the House Sign will see how long remains until the Owner of the house must refresh it, or if it requires Owner Refresh immediately
- If 30 days have passed without an Owner refresh, any time Co-Owners or Friends do an action that normally would refresh the house (use Sign / Front Door), they will instead receive a red text system message warning them that the owner needs to refresh the house, and a sound effect will also play
In Danger of Collapsing
- When a house enters the IDOC Stage (In Danger of Collapsing) a world-wide announcement will notify all players of this and the coordinates of the house, and a Discord notification (Broadcasts and PvP channels) will be made as well
- The house will now randomly collapse within 15 minutes to 2 hours of this announcement being made
- For the next 4 hours after an IDOC announcement, all players within 100 tiles of this location will be able to ignore their Dishonored status (i.e. Red players can continue to attack people and heal others near the site, even after death)
House Collapse
- When houses collapse, there will now be a randomized 15 minute to 2 hour window where no houses can be placed in that location (also fixed an issue that was causing these durations to not work correctly)
- Additionally, when a house collapses, each Secure Container, Lockdown (not in a container), and Add-On in the house will have a randomized chance of the following occuring:
- 33% chance that the item will be permanently deleted
- 33% chance that the item will fall to the ground and can be picked up by players (like normal)
- 33% chance that the item will be removed and placed into a House Decay Lottery for the house (explained below)
- Any Storage Shelves and Storage Lockers in a house will always be added into a House Decay Lottery for a house, but will have all of its stored item counts reduced by 50%
House Decay Lottery
- Whenever a house collapses, there is a 33% chance that each Secure Container, Lockdown (not in a container), or Add-On in the house will be added to a House Decay Lottery for that house (if no items are randomly chosen, however, no lottery will occur)
- Each House Decay Lottery represents a collection of items that were removed from the house and the player who wins that particular lottery will receive all of those items
- Note: the House Decay Lottery does NOT include the house deed of the house that collapsed, only the randomized 33% of items removed from the house that were placed in the House Decay Lottery
House Decay Lottery Menu and Official
- Players can view all current House Decay Lotteries in progress at the House Decay Lottery Official in Prevalia (located just west of the Society Job Hall)
- Players can say "Lottery" "Decay" "Ticket" "Raffle" "IDOC" "House" "Vendor" or "Buy" aloud near the lottery official to bring up the House Decay Lottery menu (or single click and select Buy)
- Each House Decay Lottery lasts 7 days, and players can purchase tickets for individual House Decay Lotteries for 1000 gold each (or may pay 10,000 gold for 10 tickets)
- For each House Decay Lottery, players can see how many total items the lottery contains as well as the total weight of all those items
- For each House Decay Lottery, the type of house that decayed is listed and players can click the View Location button to see a map of the location where the house collapsed at
- Note: This information is given to players to add to their decision-making process whether they want to buy tickets for the item collection (some players may wish to use this information to figure out whether the house was a Moongate Vendor House, a Guild House, belonging to a particular player, etc)
Purchasing Tickets
- When players purchase tickets for a specific House Decay Lottery, they will be stored internally in the system (players will not receive a physical ticket for the lottery)
- Purchasing tickets in groups of 10 will require the player to double-click to confirm their selection
- Players can see how many tickets they have purchase for any House Decay Lottery under the "My Total" section, with the text being Green if they have purchased any
Resolving Lotteries
- Each House Decay Lottery lasts 7 days
- After 7 days have passed, a random winner is determined from among the tickets purchased for the lottery (in a manner similar to our other lotteries)
- Players will be notified by system message if a House Decay Lottery that they had tickets for has resolved
- If a player wins a House Decay Lottery, they will also receive an overhead notification and will receive a Blessed House Decay Claim Ticket in their backpack
House Decay Claim Ticket
- Players who win a House Decay Lottery receive a Blessed House Decay Claim Ticket in their backpack for that particular lottery
- Players can double-click a House Decay Claim Ticket to view a menu showing all items that were part of the House Decay Lottery
- Note: some items will not have a name listed, and players should simply claim the item to see what it is
- Clicking the Claim button to the left of an item entry will claim the item and put it in your backpack
- Clicking the Delete button to the right of an item entry twice in a row will permanently delete the item
- If a player does not have room in their backpack for an item when claiming it, it will be dropped at their feet
- Once a player claims or deletes the last item on a Claim Ticket, it will mark the ticket as being Resolved and will have no more value to the player (and can be thrown away)
Miscellaneous
- House Sign Names reset whenever ownership of the house changes
- If a player deletes a character that owns a house, it will automatically transfer ownership of the house to another character on that account (if one exists)
- Anytime a player leaves a guild, their house will no longer be associated with that guild (if it was set to be so) and any Guildstones in the house aligned with that guild will be removed
