apparently they cant update it at the moment because of all the glitches caused in houses atm and more that happen when they try to alter it kind of like they would prefer to fix the glitches before adding more content and causing more worse ones wouldn't you be afraid to change something in construction in case a second bout of the falador massacre happens again?

All I want is the damn entry glitch fixed, one load screen and I'm in. It's ridiculous how I go into a house and I have the owners point of view in build mode for a millisecond, then it lets me in.

S**h. And this is considering I never complain.

Support 100%

I love construction, having 82 myself, and would love to see some new updates for the skill. It has been a LONG time since it has gotten a decent update/fix/addition.

For me, I would like to see more personalizing options for existing rooms and a raised maximum room cap. (A minimum of 50 total rooms at level 99 would be a bit more reasonable).

They also need to lower the span between levels required to build more rooms, and maybe, instead of just 1 extra room every 5-8 levels, it could be like 2-3 extra rooms at every 3-5 level gains. At level 82, (88 with tea + Crystal Saw), I should have access to so many more things and have so many more uses for construction. Sadly I find that after sinking so much gold (60m+) into construction, I have very few practical uses for my player owned house.

Current Uses for MY poh:

Portal room - Unique teleport options for other spellbook teleports.
Gilded Alter - Quick prayer recharge & better prayer training.
Workshop - Training without removing items.
Menagerie - Saved bank space from pets.
Costume room - Saved bank space from other items. (Costumes/Holiday items).
Cosmetic - Simply making my home efficient, interesting, and unique to my needs.

For an investment of more than 60 million coins, I would expect to have many more things to list, but basically that's it. lol.

Edit: As of 3/9/13 I now have 84 Construction and am 1 month away from recieving all of the God Statues D&D construction chisels!

-Add to costume room: penance set+ helms, wicked robes, FoG robes, agile armour,Pop armours, obsidian armour...
-Add to bookcase: ¨last riders¨, bookshelf for godbooks/iluminateds?
-New garden features: fairy ring? spirit tree? + new (not green) landscapes (snowy,vulcanic,desert,....) + Oo'glog spa springs(formal garden)?
-Larger trophies and more: mounteds don't really have impressive looks

-Jewelry box: questrings, -pendants, -necklaces + SoF pendants?(1)
-Weapon rack: quest weapons(2)(, other weapons)
OR=>(1) and (2): quest item box?

-More different God-icons in the chapel: Marimbo? Seren? Crondis? Zaros?
-2 teleport rooms: the current one with 3 portals and 1 door + new different version with 2 portals and 2 doors. + more teleport portals (lunar and ancient spellbook teleports, Keldagrim,...)

-Kitchen chest: raws, cookeds, biscuits, purple sweets, pies,...
-Chest to store materials(ores, logs,...)

----NEW ROOMS---
-Armour room: 3 personal armour stands + task armour stand, 1 door.
You would be able to put armour, jewelry,scrimshaws,auras on the stands to make sets in order to quickly gear yourself for different purposes. Regarding the task-set stand: equipmentslot based(for example: you can take the legs of the stand without taking the other set parts) and tiers wouldn't matter(a stand with all elite reward pieces except for the *easy tasks* explorer's ring)
-A barn: Contains a bank deposit box, anvil, spinning wheel, pottery oven, furnace,...

---OTHERS---
Keyholders(many keys are not storable on the keyring atm)
Clan-themed decorations +(houses around the clan citadel?)
Heraldic-themed decorations
Mailbox(send messages to offline players)

These are just ideas, some more fancy than others... :)

UPDATES FOR CONSTRUCTION?????

Alright, caps are off now. I was beginning to think I was the only one who had noticed my house seemed to be stuck in just post-classic with all the utility of... teleporting to canifis and a prayer alter.

Back at release this was a cool new feature, but honestly the advancements are there to make PoHes much more... worthwhile. I think they went with Ports as a customizable sandbox, but you can't bring your friends into those. PoHes are a fantastic place to gather friends and hold community parties. They ought to be at least made to look nicer.

I remember clearly Mod Mark was asked about Construction in a Q&A and he said that while his team wanted to make PoHes cool REALLY badly (yes, it is that obvious they need work) Jagax would prioritize the surface world first.

So it may be awhile since they have the elven lands, Kelgdagrim, Ardy, Karmaja, etc. Still, I think folks would spend more time in-game, peticularly end-game players if they could spend their mils making a really cool house.


Quick bucket list of suggestions: (Biggest advantages to the game first)

Dungeoneering themed dungeons: Use sinkhole instance concept, but you make the rooms and pick the boss, chests are yours as well. Could add a randomization to switch a few custom rooms into a random order with keys.

More Rooms: Per lvl & higher cap - 5+ con

Attach PoHes to your clan's citadel: This makes the sense of a community/city so much stronger. You are part of your clan, you live there. Even just a PoH portal would work. What if a higher tier citadel = better PoH? =D

Clan Room: Vex, meeting table, clan citadel return - 40 con

Minor God alters: Colors and themes of all the known RS gods (or most) - 50+ con

Decorations: Quest items, VISIBLE skill capes, heraldic, clan colors. - 20+ con

Fairy Ring: - 70 con

Custom themes: Prison, Castle, Tavern, Magical, Druid, Dwarven, Cottage...

Sentrys: A couple of npcs to stand atop your house or guard the door - 90 con
