Please allow Aetheryte attunement in Housing

On Balmung we have a Linkshell that is full of only Roegadyn. We are very tight knit much like an FC would be. At the moment, housing is available to Free Companies and Personal Owners. Our Linkshell Leader purchased a house for the LS to hang out in, but unfortunately the roommate limit prevents everyone from having the ability to conveniently reach the house. I fear that this will cause many to just forget about the house and make bringing them together to hang out and role-play more difficult.

Aside from this, I know that there may be other players that have friends in other Free Companies that would like the convenience of visiting them from the teleport list.

So put more simply, can you allow for players to attune to houses with a mini aetheryte present to add to their teleport list? This is not a request to extend the roommate limit or add privileges but just to make it easier for homes to be reached by those who may otherwise not be in the FC or have roommate privileges.

My only question is this: How do you stop it that people can attune themselves to ANY aetheryte in the housing area and overload the list of places to attune? Do you limit it that you can only attune to friends? That could work, I guess.

Why not make an FC and convert the house to an FC home and make it available for you that way? I understand others might be in FCs they don't want to leave, but this seems to be a request that is already handled by a few ways in the game...

Not sure if they would put this high priority. While I understand the reasoning behind the request, I just don't see the value for them to do this and figure out a way so people don't have the ability to attune to every aetheryte in the housing area.

Just food for thought. =)

SE would most likely limit how many you can have on your list, but I feel that adding everyone to a friends list would be far too limiting as our LS leader would have to add every single person in the linkshell as a friend.

Because other people are already in FCs. SE won't let us join more than one FC at a time. I am happy with my free company and have no plans to leave, just as others won't. And there really isn't any other ways like you say there are to handle this, short of joining the same free company, becoming a roommate (limited to 3 people) and teleporting to the city state and going to the housing ward and searching for the house.

Again, I highly doubt SE would allow for you to attune to every house.

And whether they make it priority or not is a different story. The point of posting this in the general discussion is not only to draw attention to the devs but also allow an opportunity for those who support this idea or want it, to show their support by liking the main post or adding their own comments to it. My posting here wouldn't exactly be a wasted effort. Not posting would be.

Or just let you travel to a personal/FC house via right-click menu on your friends list instead of taking even more space up in the teleport menu.

Again, that would require the LS leader to friend request all 128 members of the Linkshell.

I guess you not that closed knited then if people can't be bothered to come to the house without needing a direct teleport to the house.

It's an inconvenience to come to the house. That isn't at all reflecting the closeness or lack of our linkshell's community.

I have no idea what wards my personal and FC houses are in, apart from the one with the shortcut on the town aetheryte/field zone in. At the very least I would love have a friend menu pop up when zoning in from those places.

Sorry it a "inconvenience" to come to same spot where you are to hang out cause it takes me more then a press of a button to do it.

As it stands right now, the members of the linkshell would have to remember the houses address. Did you have any actual argument for or against this being implemented or are you just here to grief?

That is one of the reasons I want this. There are a couple of places in the housing wards that are my favorite to visit, but I usually find myself having to ask for the address or write it down so I can locate it again. To be able to teleport there from the menu would be way better.

So if you don't want the LS leader to befriend everyone & the feature to be you guys click on him and can tele to his house, how would it work then? What's to stop creepy stalker people or trolls from attuning to others aetherytes? Or even worse... Door to door RMT salesmen!!!!!!! :O

"*knock knock*"
Me- "*opens door* Yes?"
Ohgirs Wiogjrl- "10000K ONLY 20$ USD ♥♥♥ ypn!!!!"

j/k about the RMT, but really how would it work if you don't want to include friendlist?

My idea is that you simply would walk up to the aetheryte and attune to it and it is added to your teleport list. Perhaps a control could be put in place for a home owner to not allow aetheryte attunement. But I feel that requiring the friends list makes it too restrictive. The LS could not possibly be expected to be online to friend request people at any hour of the day. Leaving it open allows for RP venues to have more visitors, and for friends to have more convenient access to other people's plots. They wouldn't be gaining any house privileges so i don't see how this could be a problem. You already have the option to lock your doors.

There needs to be a way to control it otherwise you could have all these random people teleporting to your house and I wouldn't wanna see a bunch of random people teleporting to my house because its close to a market board or whatever, the FL might be the best option and if that is too much work then please I implore you to think of a better solution that doesn't leave my house open to everyone to teleport to whenever they feel like.

Every single house in the game is close to a marketboard.

There are some that take a little hike depending on the neighborhood you're in, but for the most part everyone has an Aetheryte in their yard or a market board with close enough proximity that he shouldn't be worried about Idyllshire type traffic at his house.

I'd rather have system where you could teleport to any plot from the Ward menu on main city aetherytes. Requirement could be that the owner has put a mini aetheryte on the yard, so same as for directly teleporting to your own personal or FC house. It's much easier to navigate by player or FC name rather than ward and plot coordinates, latter are easy to forget unlike friend's names.
