Personal Room Features

I love the fact that I have a personal room in my FC House, but I'm a little disappointed at the lack of things I can do in it. If nothing else, I really wish I had the ability to log out via "going to sleep" on the bed in my room, like I can in an Inn Room. It's not a big complaint at all, but I always used to make a point to logging out in an Inn Room via the bed, as it always felt like a good stopping point and a perfect place to start each new session.

I'm just surprised that you don't have that option in your Personal Room. You'd also think you'd have access to the aesthetician and your Armoire. When I purchased my personal room, I just naturally thought it would at least be able to do what an Inn Room can do. As much as I love decorating it, I really have very little reason to ever use my Personal Room.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Curious to hear what other folks think! :)

You are not alone.

It would be nice indeed. I think I saw a post somewhere about it, and even a response.

But You get a like :)

Definitely glad I'm not alone! Makes me not feel as bad! I just hope no one takes this as me "complaining". It's just more "wishful thinking". :)

The armoire and journal are coming (I think in 2.38 but don't quote me on that). As for being able to log out via the bed this might be added as well but if you're asking to be able to log back in and still be in your room that is unlikely. SE's reasoning is server space/stress which they want to keep low until they see how much personal housing effects the above.

P.S. I agree with you it's a bit disappointing that in many ways an inn room is more useful than my personal room, ability to decorate it aside.

That's good to know! I'm not so much concerned with logging back into my room, as I completely understand their reasons, but I just think it would be nice to log out via the bed and get that nice little "going to sleep for the night" animation. It was always just a nice way to end a session, and honestly it would make me use my room much more often.

Again, just wishful thinking

Would like to see that too. Closest thing I can do is /doze in my bed and log out.

Heh, i know it's just a quick fix, but i love macro's for silly things. One of my favourite customs:

/em looks at his watch in shock! Look at the time
/em runs off to bed
/shutdown

I should really learn how to use macros for such things! It's one of my shortcomings in this game that I really need to take the time to learn regardless for "practical" things such as DoH classes and for SMN.....but I have a feeling there will be many silly things as well!

A: Komoto: I understand that since implementation we've been receiving a lot of feedback about this, but this is an issue that is actually quite deep and we are not able to address it right away at the moment. Inns, similar to instanced dungeons, have been made so they are set to standby where no resources are consumed when players are not present. For houses as well the programmers were able to work on it so they do not consume resources either when players are not present, but as a result of this, when logging back into the game the room resources do not exist, so there is a difficult issue about how to make it so you can log back in to your rooms.

Maybe, this can be fixed in the future.... wonder why they didnt think of this in the first place :(

Agreed. Ah well. It could always be worse. At least they are aware that some people would like this feature.

I asked if we would see more features from our Inn rooms come to our personal rooms and this was the response we got:

Well that's that then! :) Thanks for posting Nikita! Glad to see this answer from the devs. If I know it's coming, even gradually, I can wait and be happy haha!

Nikita & Theodan, thanks for the dev quotes. I was about to look em up before I switched to page 2 and saw both the quotes I was about to go look for!

I don't think it's an issue of they didn't think about it originally (as in, I believe they were planning on the inn features being in) but in the world of programming, maybe importing the inn room library or calling the same modules used - it was having no effect, then they had to troubleshoot why they couldn't get features to work, discovered the problem, and realized they need to address the instancing issue first. Since they didn't a lot time to revisit and manage FC Housing instances, this caused the work to be delayed as they have other items to complete as well.

I'm sure it's something that can be fixed, they created some interesting challenges for themselves. I would love to be a trouble shooter for these programmers. Too bad I don't speak japanese. (nor have a portfolio to make me a likely candidate.)
