Wheres the New Wards?

Wheres the new housing wards that was suppose to be released soon after Heavensward release? Almost sure it was mentioned in a Live Letter.

It is assuemmed that they will add them with 3.1 and i don't think they will come any sooner (so i don't think they will add them with alexander nm or savage)

I really wish they would give us some hope, even a "we HOPE to have it in 3.1 but it might be 3.2" just so we can plan.

Yeah, I wasn't sure when it'd be coming and managed to psych myself into thinking it was this last patch, which is obviously incorrect. All we know is that they said "shortly after release," which could be 3.1 or the next alexander difficulty and recipe list.

yeah that would be great the only info we have is:"no new housing in ishgard but you should look in other wards"
which some like me interpreted as we will get new wards soon but that is not 100% sure after all.

Yeah and for many of us all other wards and plots are completely sold out. I might be wrong but I'm 99% sure ALL plots on Faerie are sold out. We can't look anywhere! :) We need another hunk of wards/subdivisions and not knowing is very demoralizing for Free Companies as members expect being able to do things like level chocobos, dye them, and experience a bunch of stuff that you need a house/room for. So after awhile they leave to find a FC with these options. Even when we have 30 mil sitting in the FC chest ready to purchase a cozy home the moment they add more.

You are not alone. Almost every server with decent pop has no plots left.

I can confirm that Exodus is completely out of plots. :(

Hyperion has been out since about 2 weeks after the last set of wards was added. If that.

Soon after, not immediately after.

Probably in the ballpark of 3.1, but I will say this about "soon". They said the gold saucer would be "soon" after launch.

... coz it could take a while, on question 63 of the live letter Yoshi said: "We’re currently working to solve the inconvenience in the extended wards, so we believe it’ll be after this."

But also said that there will not be housing in Ishgard because (and I quote) "We think we first need to create a transfer system for players who wish to move to an Ishgard area."

So, its a 3 to 6 month window at the very least.

Agreed, right now they'll be making final adjustments to Alexander Savage Mode, Addressing glitches and balance issues, and finalizing Esoterics Gear designs.

I think it'd be best to assume 3.1 at the earliest considering the devs have said more than once that The Expansion's content is taking priority to housing adjustments.

With the pre- and post heavensward population boom that goes for all servers now. Low pop ones included.

I'm hoping for instance housing.

Seriously the indoors are already instances. You have to zone through a portal at the door.

There is no reason to not sell instanced housing with a mock back yard with a high brick wall around it to put garden plots in and a shared chocobo stable you pay a weekly or monthly fee to use.

Click the portal, bring up a list of open homes(for folks that leave house open for viewing) and default to yours at top of list.

The MMOs That Kings Isle entertainment runs has this as a nirmal feture. And its far less advanced. Some of the smallest housing instances in their series of children's mmos are several times the size of a Large FC plot while the bigest ones are the size of a small feild area like bronze lake.

So why SE didnt opt for this I dont know. Permissions could be granted based on owners with FCs being permitted slightly larger areas than personal houses and allowing guests to port in via aetherite.

EQ2 was the first game I played with it. Every player got an inn room, but you could buy three room apartments or 5 room mansions.

And they've since added a shit ton of premium and non marketplace stuff.

Going by the wording in the live letter regarding Ishgard housing, I wonder if they're going to go about it a different way. Maybe they'll have land plots in the sky and housing available for more players this time around. One can only dream.

This sounds like a pretty nifty idea, being in a house/mansion on floating islands and are accessible through flight. Although I'm curious on how they'll implement it. So far, the new maps we have high levels of hostility, as compared to the maps that the other three housing locations are. The only map that is not as terrible as the rest is Churning Mists in my opinion, but even that place has a density of threats.

I can Conform moogle also sold out there re 1 -2 Gil 32 000 000 plots available but thats it
