84 housing districts and zero houses available. Either confirm Ishegard housing is coming or make more housing districts!
Do you really need to be prompted for this? There's not enough houses to go around.
Time to Make More Housing Districts, Squeenix.

Sadly that's sort of how the system is right now - housing is meant to be a limited commodity. Until they make it something that's meant to be 'for everyone', there will always be a shortage.
Not saying it's great, just that it's the way the system is. And it's frustrating because--esp on Zal, as I am from there too--you can walk through 2 districts and more than half the houses you look at that are open to public are empty. With auto-demo off, they remain so. -

I have to agree, more wards are needed. Or at least wards need to be dynamic. On European servers there are several empty plots, so many that likely only 15 wards per zone are needed, on busier servers they should be automatically added as needed. I appreciate the fact that housing is a luxury, however to only have 21 wards on servers like Balmung or Mateus when the population requires more like 50 wards is just plain silly. Given the fact that many more people are now spending time in game due to the pandemic, and auto-destruct is disabled more wards are needed like yesterday!
Also if houses are only meant to be for the lucky few... why does EVERY SINGLE EVENT give us more house/garden items? -
04-07-2020, 03:15 PMJojoyaBecause new seasonal event furnishings are a common request from players who like to change decor to match the season.Quote:

While I'm all up for more wards, I would notice that they just added 3 fresh ones in every zone, so there's almost a 0 chance that they will add more so soon.
And they most likely won't announce Ishgard as a housing (if it really is one even) until fanfests. -

Ishgard do coming tho, been in new Firmament? New streets are getting created before your very eyes!
-
04-09-2020, 02:33 AMJojoyaThey heavily implied at NA FanFest that it would be player housing once the Restoration was completed. It's clearly laid out as a housing district - you can see the outlines of the house plots with the offset rectangles that mirror the design of existing housing districts. The first quest that unlocks once the 5.21 stages are complete is titled "A Hone in the Firmament".Quote:

04-09-2020, 06:30 AMworldofneilYes but the Ishgard restoration is something that seems to be going on all of this expansion.Quote:

But although Shirogane was released in 4.0, you couldn't buy a house until 4.1 so if this is similar, 6.1 would be early November 2021.
So basically, it's probably gonna be a bit of a wait. -
04-09-2020, 10:13 AMAntoine_Lenheim
Yeah, 6.0 or 6.1 was my prediction as well. They will wait also because Firmament exclusive stuff should probably end and they want as many people as possible to try it.
Not that I am very mad about Ishgard tho, from the look of things its going to be Goblet 2.0 but in snowy setting. -
04-09-2020, 06:31 PMLeloa
Just wait for Isghard housing or jump to Twintania where they still have medium and large plots for grabs. If not then whats the point of making these whiny topics when you do have options.

Dunno if its fake or not. -
04-11-2020, 06:43 AMDustytomeThere appears to be more pictures scattered around twitter too. I'm honestly surprised they didn't warm things up further. I hope by the end they add in more plants to help break up all the stone.Quote:

I would reccomend instanced housing, but adding a "on instance 2 btw!" and the pain Squeenix would have to do to make it...
-
04-11-2020, 08:04 PMERMITANYOI hope they introduce, more options in outdoor dyes for housing skins, especially for ishgard and goblet, to make their grey and khaki colored environment more alive.Quote:

Okay, I have to ask. What specifically do you want from a house that you can't get with an apartment?
-
04-12-2020, 05:01 AMElianaGoldsteinWell for one houses have more interior space and at least double the amount of item slots. That in itself is enough reason to desire a house over an apartment. Then there is the garden area outside. A nice place to fill with trees/fountains/benches and other assorted items. Sure the functionality is the same, both allow for a place to AFK/craft or invite friends to chill. I personally have a house of my own, a nice medium in Lavender Beds, but that does not mean that I don't want others to be able to enjoy the housing feature to the fullest extent. While it may have its flaws (not being able to move stuff vertically without finicky glitches) the items provided are mostly gorgeous and therefore fun to collect and display!Quote:

Rather than demanding SE keep adding wards which isn't the answer, the community should put more focus into improving Apartments. Hence I wanted players who don't own a house tell the devs exactly want they want. It wouldn't be hard to add a space to use outdoor furnishings and increase the space of apartments. I believe they are adding farming areas in the wards that player can purchase a section.Quote:

Weird question what will happen to the restoration efforts once the district is built? would it stop being a thing and forcing players to go elsewhere for their dyes and such?
Also dis a similar initiative for housing happen in Stormblood as well? -
04-17-2020, 10:58 AMCanadaneOnce we give NPCs their housing, we'll then need to maintain their upkeep. You can't expect them to live in those houses without giving players something to do!Quote:

I am new to posting on the forum but I've read some over the past year since I started playing but I wanted to say you two are in my opinion some of the most enjoyable Lalafell to read.

I totally agree with this. More wards and plots are needed now! Not later, not soon, now. Many houses are still owned by alts and FCs can buy SMALL plots for their companies. That is one of the reasons housing is broken af. With so many people in their database, it should be fixed already. Everything is FULL.
-
04-24-2020, 07:44 AMNanaWilohNot all FC's have 100+ members there are a lot of small FC's out there. The problem I have with FC's and housing is seeing 150 member FC crammed into a small while right next door is a 5 memeber FC with a large O.o. My FC has 10 memebers and a Medium we don't need a large house or want one. We also feel us having a small would be just taking a up a house that could be used for a personal or much smaller FC.Quote:

Adding new wards is not gonna fix the fact that there's a limited number of Mediums/Larges.
Blame SE for introducing artificial scarcity in virtual worlds.
