Ive owned a home for a long time, yet I have never met my neighbors. I don't see any traffic, for such an expensive item in game requiring more money to decorate.
Can we make some attraction that would make people go to the housing area and explore or something. Kind of cool to own a home and items and no one see it :p
im not claiming to know the perfect solution, Im sure it will be tuff with 18 wards ect with divisions and sub divisions. But I mean that's why certain people get paid :p
Can we like, get events in the houseing areas

I also want more homely items like socks, Ripped chocobo feed bags ect, kinda lame everyones house looks neat and tidy. Im not talking trailer trash type setting, but a more realistic lazy persons house :p dirty clothes hampers full ect. Hell maybe a hose with a kiddy pool and a case of PBR on the side :|

06-09-2019, 12:15 AMMizAraiI'd like to point you towards the Laundry Basket, Strewn Smallclothes, Strewn Bottoms, and Disordered Wardrobe (cause it sounds like something you'd be interested in as well). Also, the list of Furnishing Design Contest winners has many amazing items you might like that just haven't made it into the game yet (but are coming at some point). Fallen Tree bench thing, Dinosaur Slide (possibly for our minions, I can't read the japanese to know what it says), Beach themed kiddie pool, and a Moogle themed kiddie pool. There are lots of other things as well that should make it into the game at some point, we just don't know when yet. We've normally been getting a few winners each major patch cycle.Quote:

I think a "meet your neighbors." would be more a community driven event.

06-09-2019, 04:20 AMGomJabbarWhat? You don't want a small-block chevy engine inside a bathtub in your front yard?? Seriously though, I like these ideas. I'd also like a bare tree. Same model as the maple or cherry, just with no leaves or blossoms, and maybe some moss on the branches... hahahaQuote:

Not a big fan of them putting effort into a feature not everyone had access to. Would rather them spend their efforts elsewhere

06-09-2019, 06:15 PMHoodcatAnother bad reason, How about we delete all Class/crafter quest. Not everyone has all classes or crafters and they get unique things that I want but cant have. How about optional items on the store? Not everyone has a CC or method to pay other than gamestop time cards, so I cant get that store mount or outfit. High end raiding? my I internet is shit and I cant heal/dps/tank or dodge properly, shouldn't waste time and effort in nice instances or raids then.Quote:

where does it stop?
Get a real reason. This is a MMO people have things others do not, there are many things I want that I just have not put effort into. Am I mad about it? No. I wanted a house more so I put more time in getting a house.
an optional housing event where you get a some exp and tiny amount of gil is no diff. If anything it will bring you to the housing place more so you can see more plots open up, you would be surprised how many days I see plots opening and people complain how there are no plots :| people server move all the time. -

A little OT, i think housing will be more social if it can be made available for all who are already qualified to purchase a house, but as it is right now housing is kind of a limited commodity so its not catering to all players atm.

ARR came out in aug of 2013, Personal Housing was introduced in patch 2.38 so has been out for about 5 years. The game is slow :| its prolly its only downfall for me, I like the fights, music, crafting everything about the game. But it is slow.
I made a post 2 years ago about dirty laundry socks ect, its in game now oh em geeee. But it took a while for it to get in game, if you don't make suggestions it will take all the longer for them to get around too it :| there is nothing wrong with feedback and suggestions =p
if you stay silent they will think nothing about it :p Nothing is being asked of them to do this next week, but a year from now if you see something like this in game. It really does make you go :D -

One of the Starlight events required you to visit houses and click the Sartlight Sentinel trees if they had put one up. I liked it because it was a way to get people into the wards and enjoying other's homes. However, it was equally depressing because people would only go to the very first ward and visit the absolute closest homes. People in further wards or subdivisions got skipped over even if they put a lot of effort into decorating for visitors. If they do something like this again it would be nice if they used modern features like estate teleportation and the RP flagging system to randomly place a visitor in participating homes so that everyone gets a chance to be greeted.

yes, the issue would be 18 instances of houses + subs. But very smart people work for the companies :p im sure they can find a solution :D

06-09-2019, 10:02 PMsupergizAll of those things do not involve RNG to be involved in. No comparison.Quote:

Your comment is hyperbole.
It's more realistic that someone could be level 50/have a class than someone would have a housing plot, unless you're willing to transfer, but that's a lot to ask for some people. Not everyone is privileged enough to toss extra money around and spend time making new friends, all for the sake of maybe getting a small plot. -

So much this... Thank you! I've server hopped a lot also, and have always managed to get a house with some dedicated hunting. Yeah, the spamming sucks, but you do what you gotta do...
