Im ready to quit this game.

Literally sat at a house for 2 hours and and left for 2 min and the house i was waiting for was taken. i dont care if this was to prevent house selling or if the person relocated from another plot. i wasted 2 hours of my life for this and im not subbing to play maybe 8 hours a day just to waist this much time and get nothing from it. Get your shit together Final fantasy.

I feel you dude. I sat at a sign for 3 hours before some rando walked up and relocated a house on it.

This system is so broken.
Eitherrr..
-Have a timer that's visible so people can just show up for the mad rush then got on with their lives. Won't be selling houses still if the rest of the server has a couple hours to show up to contest for the plot.
or
-Give a randomly starting... lets say hour long... 'window' of time that it can open and make this time window visible when it happens. Then if you're gonna camp a plot you'll know its going to open within like an hour at least whenever it shows that its window has started
or
-Put house relocation on the current timer so people with pre-existing houses can't snipe new buyers and you don't have all this goofy 'run around until you have an open plot to relocate it to the one you want' sillyness (the fact that this is a thing just shows how bad this setup is)
or
-Literally anything else. I'm just firing off the first bad ideas that come into my head without considering the consequences, surely the game devs can think up something better

I am not a fan of this system either, had some relocate on me as wel. But even with the whole reloation bit, at least that means another plot opened up somewhere else. That is why they don't place a timer on relocation as it still ends up leaving an open plot. Not a good feeling when it happens to you but what can we do about it really. I have been trying to get a personal for sometime myself as well.

they should remove relocating system make them go through it the hard way if they wish to move some were new...

What would the point of that be?

OP while I feel for you, right now is one of the WORST times to attempt to get a house. Most extra server plots were bought up by people looking to get a free 3M gil when the world transfer system came online. Give it a couple weeks to settle down before really complaining. Also, waiting 2h is nothing compared to how long some have waited.

Housing has been in short supply since October of last year, due to auto demolition being suspended due to certain tragic unforeseen events. Since this mornings patch 4.57 auto demolition is back and in place. This means that those owners of houses, that have not been inside them in 45 days, will lose their homes via this system. I think this will free up a few houses for players, but I suggest people keep track of when evictions are expected to occur to have the best chance at buying a plot.

Patch 4.57 notes. * The automatic demolition of estates on the Aether and Primal data centers was suspended in October 2018. However, after careful consideration, we have decided to resume auto-demolition with the release of patch 4.57.

Every house I’ve checked all day is unable for purchase. When does the timer even start?? :’(

Its just that there has to be a better system. i dont mind having everyone put down gil on the same plot then when its time for the plot to be sold it randomly picks someone to own the plot and refunds the rest. at least that would let me go on with my day and do other things besides house camping. plus the house flipping will still be fixed cause the timer is still in place and the bidders all get a chance at the house without all of them giving up their day for it on top of their gil and real money the spend for the 30 days to play.

Goodbye *waves*

It *should* start from the moment the plot is relinguished.

I guess I mean what’s the earliest that it’s available to be bought 22 hours?

At this point should be a silent auction. Put in the bids, not enough gil on the buying player/fc bank move to the next bid on the list auto-magically. I don't understand why FC's have to fight people for houses on this, it has me more upset than anything. Here I am, albeit a non max leveled crafter, but I made a bit doing this, and willing to pay 10x face value a small to SE for it. yet a person (with no fc) has their head nod every 20 seconds on a metronome "magically" vs my FC that just came back and wants a house. when botting and a single outweighs an fc's wants.

I can't say as I have never seen a house come off it's timer or stayed past an hour at most. Most I have been around was snatched up by relocaters relatively quickly. There is no 100% accurate timetable for this damn timer unfortunately.

If you were in EU data center just in these two servers today look at the amount of plots available:

► Omega:

Lavender beds 47 small plots available to for players to buy

Goblet 211 small plots available for players to buy

Mist 35 plots available for players to buy



► Louisoix:

Lavender beds 129 small plots available

Goblet 361 small plots available

Mist 134 small plots available

Shirogame: 23 small plots available

I absolutely understand how you feel OP. Been sitting in front of a Placard since 6AM this morning, literally since the servers opened up, yet I am still getting "This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase."

Absolutely no one, not a single player, think this is a good idea. I am totally clueless on why they aren't lowering the timer. Up to 24 hours is just plain stupid.

Just because they're available doesn't mean you can ACTUALLY BUY THEM. If you've been reading the comments or looking anywhere, even when the plot is open there is a random timer that nobody can see before somebody can actually purchase the land.

Yes, but with the amount they are showing available, I am pretty sure even after a day or two they'll still have a quite a bit available. With well over 500 alone for Loui, there isn't any need to camp.

Which is great if you're on Louisoix, but my FC and I just moved to Exodus and we're just trying to get anything we can.

This nonsense of having to sit and camp a placard with no clear end in sight is silly.

It will probably be a little easier to find housing after the transfer period is up. The 3m incentive to just purchase a plot and transfer has people trying for plots that otherwise would not be spending the time (or setting up something else to spend the time for them).

just scrap this fail timer system and replace it with something like jumbo cactpot
same RNG, but without the waiting and clicking like a bot
