Was playing around with my place just now and stumbled across the realization as to how cool of a decor piece the Legion Fel Torch is. Aside from just being a nice torch item by itself, you can use them to turn doorways into walls of fire. Turned upside down, you've also got a cool giant spike to use as an accent or fixed piece for whatever your evil hearts desire.
Just had to share. xD
Felt like throwing up a picture of what I have now, though it feels nothing special. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, or anyone might have any advice/tips for what I'm feeling at the moment.
I've moved, built, and torn down a number of houses just trying to come up with something I can be happy with. Saved a number of posts here and on Youtube with ideas I planned to come back to for inspiration. All in all though, I'm now back to square one and am just finding it hard to get motivated again.
There's a few reasons for that.
The lack of decor/customization for what I'm looking for. My main is a man'ari eredar warlock, and a number of my builds involved trying to make a cool Legion-themed stronghold. For the outside, I inevitably settled for a night elf house with some fel corruption placed in and around it, like it was formerly a druid barrow den or something. All in all though it just feels "eh kinda good enough".
For the inside though, my options are basically just stone and wood. My choices are to either make-do with that, pretend my Legion ship is made from wood from Orgrimmar, or use up a ton of decor to awkwardly place a bunch of fel fountains/corruption pits upside down, and deal with the clipping issues there.
The arbitrary restrictions as to what is allowed and not allowed. In one exterior I had, my house entrance was basically the Dark Portal. When I tore it down and rebuilt it one day though, suddenly I couldn't put the Dark Portal back up. Felt a tad irritating, and right now my exterior is empty until hopefully they fix that.
The biggest part of what's killing my motivation though, as sad as it is to say, it's all of you guys and your amazing builds. As mentioned I saved a bunch of inspiration posts from here, but when it comes down to replicating it...I'm simply just not that good, lol. I would look at an awe-inspiring build here and then look at mine as basically a pile of junk. xD
Thanks for letting me vent.
