Houses and duties

[Risvertasashi]

These days, if I want to be away from the hustle and bustle of a city aetheryte but I still want to be able to change glamor plates or other similar things, I find myself using inn rooms more and more. Only visiting my housing to keep the auto demo timer refreshed.

It's not that I don't like the house or anything. But it's really annoying to be cycled out of it every. single. duty.

This has been asked before, and the devs were concerned there might not be an instance available. So, a proposal: If a player entered a duty from their house, when they come out, try to get an instance for the house and put them back inside. Then if that fails, put them outside per normal.

So, can we finally have the ability to exit a duty back into our homes? At least as a "best effort" system?

We actually already had that as it was the behaviour when houses were originally released. However it was changed in 2.2 to how it is now:

In preparation for the addition of residential wards, as well as individual player housing, players who join a duty or log out from within an estate hall will now return to the estate entrance when logging in or returning from an instance.

* This adjustment will improve the management of housing, and facilitate the addition of plots and estate halls.

So unfortunately since that was by design it doesn't look like it'll be changing back any time soon.

Issue there.

When you're not in your house, it's not loaded. Therefore when you join a Duty, it becomes an inactive instance. When the duty is over, it can't replace you back to the instance, since it no longer exists. Which is why it puts you outside your house, instead of inside. Because OUTSIDE your house isn't deemed an "instanced" zone, at least when compared to interiors.

That's by design. Be glad that they have changed it (partially) as, originally if you were in a large FC house (or medium) with a specific skin. You'd load back into the pillar and be unable to move. Like at all.
