Mist HOA Compaint

I just bought this great house right along the beach. It is right next to the market board, summoning bell and all the vendors too! These guys highlighted in red set up a display right near me though. Whenever I step into the blue area of my yard I start getting blasted with really loud, annoying Gold Saucer music. Make them stop!! :(

Edit: Title should say complaint. The music must be hurting my typing.

You have a setting to mute the music from that. There's nothing anyone can do about it, what are the GM's gonna do?

"Hey you can't use this furniture because it's annoying the person next door"

This isn't real life.

Its only during the event - it will be gone in a few weeks...

It might be worth looking into how yards and "event-music-area" are overlapping - now that we've got the setting to play city-state-music instead of housing-area-music, maybe they can add a second box with "play event-music"? If there is event-music and you check it, the music will play regardless of where you are in the housing-area, if there is no event, the default housing-area music will play.

If you could hear it while indoors I can see how that's very intrusive, but only in half your garden...? Never mind how it's event music so it won't be there forever. And you can mute the music.

First World FFXIV problem.

... are you serious?
this is just as pointless as that one person who complained about the fireworks during summer disrupting their AFKing a year or so ago

I just recently moved from this plot to upgrade to a medium. I totally get wat ur feeling right now and I still have Papaya drilled into my brain XD. The house location still heavily outweighs this small downside tho since ur right on the beach and have the mb/retainer right there.

I could understand how/why the Gold Saucer music might be annoying, and I think the OP was more trying to shine some light humor on the subject to.

I doubt he really feels its a huge problem, but yet all the same, it's probably at least mildly annoying.

But thankfully as others have said, it's just for a short time as it's only due to an event.

Yes, I am super serious. I've already canceled all 15 of my accounts until this is fixed.

And I thought people couldn't sink any lower when it comes to whining.

Everyone here is so serious and quick to point fingers about whining, you all seem to fail to realize how sarcastic OP is.

Wow... so many missed the fact that the OP is clearly joking... ((Though I wouldn't be against in game HoA, those paissa houses creep me out))

Sarcasm doesn't transfer all that well over text, so it's not nearly as obvious as you think.

Besides, I'm sure there's people out there that'd actually complain about something like this.

I work with people in real life unfortunately.

I've had people complain the color of a product is too white. Yes, I've had a guy complain that the WHITE casing is TOO WHITE.

It's impossible to tell if people are joking or not with text.

It's pretty obvious with the OP's thread. I knew from the thread title alone before I even entered it.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the 'HOA' in the title? I had no idea what it was until I looked it up. Seems like some kind of American thing?

It's probably not as obvious as you think, for us non-American posters.

File a complaint with Lord Godbert.

I enjoyed the humor though, unlike some.

Its all going according to Godberts plan. D: He is going to brainwash you into his minion with the constant playing of this music, so that you will work (in a bunny costume) in the gold saucer as part of the new WoL attraction. How evil! The only way to stop this influence is the construcion of a huge paissa wall, together with our overlord Namazu.

Anyway I like this topic and great to see how some already jumped to certain conclusions.

I see, as it turns out even context is difficult for you to muster.

OMG SARCASM What is that, when i look at the OP's screenshot i must immediately assume i have all the facts obviously the OP has the talents hither to a digital Bob Ross, However upon further inspection the artistic skills of the OP are more akin to Terry Bradshaw OMG THIS IS MIND BLOWING.

PS, to all the over screwiness and apparent overly critical people a joke loses alot when you need it explained to you.

On the other hand, it's a pretty shitty joke if it requires explaining.

Then again, maybe I've just ran into too many people that'd legitimately complain about something like this.

It's probably not as obvious as you think, for us non-American posters.

HOA = Home Owners Association. Usually a group of people living in the same general area that dictate how houses in the area should be maintained with loose agreements. Leaders (and authority) are largely self-appointed. The usual goal of one is to keep property values in the area high. Especially in wealthy neighborhoods. You can probably see where this is going.

They are fairly infamous in that, as they are largely self-appointed, you get power tripping douchebags in most of them that are basically the embodiment of 'NO FUN ALLOWED' for the most frivolous of reasons. Like each house has to be painted a certain way, gardens have to be arranged in a certain manner, and so on. Really douchebaggy HOA leaders are known for siccing lawyers and police at neighbors doing something they don't like (or don't like them in general). And that's before you get into some HOAs being so infamous that it's an open secret that they'll vet whoever even moves into the damn area, and suddenly make the place as unappealing as possible the moment certain types of people start looking around for a new house in the area.

That said, anyone who has ever dealt with one knows the OP is being rather sarcastic about this.

That right there sounds dreadfully game breaking.

well, I think many of us simply have lost the benefit of doubt towards sarcastic joke threads, as the OF gets spammed with people feeling entitled to complain about the most inane things all the time (sharkfin soup; war bonnet; I can't do MSQ instance/event minigame x because of my disabilities, pls nerf ect.). Especially over the weekend because 'lol mods aren't working'.

Yeah yeah that sucks. Look though I have a real problem with The Goblet. The dancing girls are MIA... and not just during events. Where have all the catgirls gone?

They had to pay for that new fountain somehow...

There's no HOA in Mist. If there were then half the house skins would be breaking them.

As for the loud beach party I believe you need to complain to Godbert, it's his employees...

So I had a friend tell me what HOA means. No wonder I didn't get the joke. We don't have that in Europe, at least not in the countries I have lived in.

Woosh.
