Eq2 Gorowyn 6 Room Decorating Outside

So I was all excited to see the cool doors for our houses... and they dont even match the interior doorframes!
I would like to talk to the contractor who thinks you can shove a rectangular door into the curved doorframes of gorowyn houses and make it look even remotely good without covering up the holes on either side with wall dividers. What if we dont want to use wall dividers? What if we want to have the regular wall, with a matching door? Is that too much to ask?
Total fail on this one!

This is the case with all the doors. I was snottily informed that they were not designed to fit the housing, but for building around. Having said that, I think they look better than the previous two doors.
Not designed to fit the housing? What kind of lazy design is that?
How hard would it be to make the front door available as a house item? Probably not very.
i think it's been said in other threads...
each and every size house within a housing zone "type" has different sized doorframes..
i.e. - the qeynos 2 bedroom inn room has different door frames than the qeynos large 6 room house

therefore - there was no way for the dev's to build doors for each house size, and no door would make everyone happy
I can agree with you xeth, Gorowyn houses are somewhat tedious to begin with, and the door ways require a rather complex touch. But what can ya do, supposes its a tad easier to attempt a "one size fits all" door although it sorta isnt eheh it definately looks better than the halas ones.
you'd be angrier if they decided to change all the doorframes in your gorowyn house to one that would fit all of the new doors (IE rectangular)
just tell the devs, "add the crafting recipes" for Tinkerfest event
recipe 1: "adjustable" Gorowyn Doors
house type 1 door (wood)
house type 2 door (metal)
house type 3 door (artistic)
manor type door and door II (left side) if making double door format.
Fancy crafted "Stained Glass Panel" door
Recipe 2: Neriak
Recipe 3: Antonica
Recipe 4: Freeport.
etc.
anyway, these doors they made are just "experimental" model, i dont think they are meant for actual in-house door frames. mostly as seen in "Break-Out" decorations which it was more successful.
new halas doors were more 'weathered' for sheds, outhouses, and any outdoor themes, or perfect for swinging double door via-old west style saloon doors.
dont like these doors in city festivals? i am sure you can be very creative with these doors.
speak about Gorowyn door arcs, make a "Rolling" door, click it and it roll to right or left, depending on the walls, then it roll back.
also about Neriak door arcs, so, how about those kinds of doors as seen in Scaleborn Sanctrum?, halve-doors split open and slide away and then slide back in.
give devs some time to make new set of doors.
All the current doors were made the same size/shape without city doorways particularly in mind, mostly as a ground to see how popular doors such as these will be. If they're popular enough then they'll look into making more doors, hopefully ones that fit into doorways better.

I'm all for being able to lego together whole rooms and houses and all, but if that's what's really intended with these doors, then we should either just be given open plots of land to build on, or you shouldn't need to use a 3rd party program to breakout of your house to build what you like.

You don't. Just need teleporter pads and a little patience. I've never used the editor and have a pad at the docks in my Halas house *shrug*

Yup, same here, never have used the editor. Zooming out with the camera works well enough for placement.
I would like a plot of land to build on though.

They fit perfectly in the Maj Dul housing. I happen to agree with you that the doors should fit the average home for the city they are from and from there, you can pick and choose.

I wouldn't doubt that there isn't at least one person, at the EQ2 development meetings, bringing up the idea of a houseless "house", a bit of land that just has a portal.
BUT, currently all of the non-house land (in the houses that have been 'broken out of' isn't entirely 'safe', there are pot holes that will drop you out of the world. This is why the break-outs are allowed but not actually supported. If you find a hole, they're not going to patch it no matter how much you bug it. So... to offer a houseless house, they would have support the entire granted plot of land as not having any holes 'cause that's all the "house" would be. Then, if they did that, players in the 'break-out' houses would likely demand that the holes in their landscapes be fixed..
It's a bit of a can of worms, probably.
