Thank you SE for my new house. Gratz to those of us who survived Housing Savage

Imagine having to wake up at 4am for this :eek:
If you wanna post your new place and share in the glory, you're more than welcome to :)

I woke up at 2:30am. By the time I logged in all the med/lrg were gone. I just randomly bought whatever plot was available, and then later I saw a plot I liked better and relocated. The person waiting there had been clicking for 8 hours.

edit: Thank you OP for starting this thread. I've seen so many posts and comments complaining about this and that, but not enough people thank SE for giving us new wards. Many people got houses and upgrades from this Housing Ultimate so thank you very much SE! We appreciate you.

lmao, this is so petty, its hilarious. I feel bad for the people who didnt get lucky, but dammit, this is too funny.

I got mine Tuesday morning! Was stuck in the 600s in queue, took 7 minutes to get in (I even set a timer lol). All the mediums and larges were already gone, but I managed to nab one of the last few remaining smalls. Then I saw that Plot 9 open up on an older ward... and I had to nab it. Plot 9 was actually my original 2nd choice pick if I failed to get my 1st pick. Funny thing is I missed out on both, but I still got one in the end after relocating. I'm sure I made people mad with that relocating, "OMG you put a timer on a brand new house you troll!" or at least that's what I've been reading. But I didn't do it to troll others, I simply did it because I liked plot 9 better than the one I got initially. Sorry not sorry.

I mean if you have the chance to go for the house you want, why not? We're all in the same boat

This smells like a troll thread entirely.

I just love all these accusations of being called a troll. Just LOVE it. Not. Seriously, is it so wrong of people that did manage to get a house to be HAPPY they got one!? I'm tired of seeing nothing but negative posts about how awful SE is. I love SE, I love FFXIV, I don't play the game just for housing so even if I didn't get one I wouldn't be rage quitting... I'd be disappointed, but I wouldn't be raging on the forums and telling everyone I was quitting. But yet the people that got a house say anything about getting one and we're suddenly trolls.

Again. Sorry not sorry. I will NOT apologize for the fact that I happened to get lucky and I got a house when others didn't. Try again next time, because there will be one.

Too much negativity and pettiness in this world. Remember, during a pandemic crisis, SE was able to provide 720 new housing plots per server. That's 720 players/fc who were able to buy a house and/or upgrade. There's nothing wrong with saying thank you to SE for going out of their way to do this and being happy for the players who got a house or got an upgrade. Remember, everyone is a winner whether you got a large, medium, small or even if you missed out but was able to experience the thrill of housing ultimate. It's truly exhilarating. There are no losers in this event. Love u all!

Hmm so if I'm not complaining, or crying or blaming people with alts, it's a troll post. Thanks for the tip o/

There's a huge difference between being happy you got your house, and being happy while laughing at those who didn't get one or lost theirs. Not everyone here is only expressing happiness about getting a house.

No one is required to apologise for getting a house instead of someone else or for getting a house someone else used to own.

But no one is required to laugh at the misfortunes of others in order to express their happiness about getting a house. So yea, some of the posts here do look like clear attempts to troll.

This. I got mine, that doesn't mean I'm going to laugh at those who didn't or write petty stuff on the placard making fun of the people that were clicking there.

No one is asking for you to apologize, though? Also... A guy just commented "mhm, troll thread", it's not a bunch of accusations. You don't really need to make it bigger than it is; that's sooo egocentric.

And when, exactly, have I ever laughed at people who didn't get a house? Anywhere in my post do you see me going "HAHAHA! YOU DIDN'T GET A HOUSE AND I DID!!!"? I'm making sweeps through my server multiple times a day and posting which houses are still available out there for others to see, so they know there are still houses to go and get. I'm cheering these people on, not laughing at them!

Yet I keep getting called a troll because I relocated my house to one I liked better. Multiple times. So yes, I'm going to be defensive and mad at the fact that people are being rude to me and calling me names when I did NOTHING wrong.

Again, this post is not about you. They're talking about the topic in general, that doesn't include only your post. You're being defensive for no reason.

I don't know who this is directed at but I didn't personally accuse you of anything. Anyway the posts that made me go "omg this is so meanspirited" were not yours. You're completely correct when you say you have nothing to apologise for.

And no I won't say exactly whose posts did because I'm not interested in having a personal back and forth with individuals who I know won't change their minds. They know they're being mean. It would be a waste of my time to point it out to them and debate with them about it.

OP is just sharing his excitement because he is able to get one from the competition.
This some how attracts salty people in here.
Any one wants to buy salt.?
We got plenty here

Right.. so I call someone out for saying this thread is just to troll others, then people quote my response, and I respond back, but I'm being defensive for no reason and I'm trying to make it all about me.

It is because you pointed out that someone was calling this a troll thread and appeared to think there was no reason for this. There is a reason, but the reason is not what you have posted.

Congrats on getting your house :)

O_o What is the reason for them calling this a troll post then? Cause I never thought it was here to troll people. I was just happy to finally see a thread thanking SE for releasing more houses, and that some people were appreciative and happy for what we did get. It's even in the title of this post "Thank you SE for my new house. Gratz to those of us who survived Housing Savage".

And thank you! :D Very happy with it, it's my first house. A friend suggested I grab another house on one of my alts, but I want other people to have chances at houses so I said no.

Grats all. The pettiness in some of the house naming is trolling and I’ll admit a little funny. But probably too soon for many.

I'm not going to get specific because as I said I'm not interested in a back and forth with people who are well aware that they're laughing at people who didn't get a house.

Maybe just have a look at the posts again, see what they say, and think about how you would feel if you were someone who didn't get a house and encountered someone with their behaviour. If you can't figure it out someone else can point it to you or you can just move on and continue to be happy about your new home.

It is very kind of you to allow others a better chance by not getting a house for your alt. If more players like this the housing situation would be in a better state. Still awful, but at least not as bad.

If you want to add more positivity to the housing forum perhaps show what decoration you have done with your new home and invite others to do so as well :)

EDIT: I have seen your forum join date is just this month so you may be a new player. To give some context some players have been trying to get a house from anything between several months to several years. On some servers it is exceptionally difficult to get a house. It is these people in particular who wouldn't like a lot of the meanspirited posts here.

I honestly never click on house placards, so I didn't even know people were trolling in that method. xD I haven't named my house yet. Still need to come up with a name, but I'm waiting until it's done being decorated before I open it up for visitors and name it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH I think I see it now! The picture that guy shows has the title of the house as "Stolen house"!!! And then people are mentioning the whole trolling through house names thing. I see I see... :O Welp, I completely didn't even pay attention to that. I just saw someone coming into the thread and suddenly saying this thread was to troll others, when I had no intention of trolling others.

XD My bad, sorry. I will at the least apologize for misunderstanding the situation.

I don't get what the salt is with alts getting a house. It's none of our business how other people play the game. If someone got a house an alt got a house before you did, they were either faster, smart and/r luckier than you. How is putting some housing title petty, but hating on others because they want a house on their alts not?

Oh I'm not salty about people buying houses on alts, I just personally made the decision that I didn't want to do that. I'm not on my alt enough to make it worthwhile for me to take up a house, when I know so many other people want them. Though I do see lots of people raging about those that got grandfathered into owning entire wards a lot. I don't even mind that. They're on servers that were quiet and had few people, there was no market for houses there when they bought them. I give them kudos for all the time and energy needed to make enough gil to even buy that many. O_O And the effort needed to decorate them all!? Yikes... just the prospect of decorating a small house is enough to make me go ugh.

Everything you described was that they were "bette"/r than the rest dude, give it a rest you know the post was going to be controversial because of the placard. None of that makes you or someones alts /er than anyone else. Youre turning a system in a game that isnt very Competition based, into a competition for no reason other than gloating. Nice trolling, btw I got a little bit of a laugh, but for you to imply you had no intention of causing salt, ire, or any of the sort is you playing innocent, with the knife in your hand Why is this a troll post? Because its intention is to cause a reaction, and you guys got one. No you're not /er than anyone else, you just happened to be a benefactor of a broken ass system. Again, this isnt a competition, this game is very little to do with competition, and theres no need to turn this into one.

Gotta absolutely love folks that laugh and poke fun at others for simply having bad luck on gaining a house all while getting defensive for being called out for it. fyi, I have a house, so I'm not one of those folks that "missed out".

Alas, I'm not here to merely shove it in the faces of many various others that DID miss out. You're quite literally being akjshdflkajsdhfasd.

Literally, what was even the point here? ← this is why I say it's a troll thread, and well, the names/titles of those houses are obviously jabs at others. Sooooooo you tell me. Argue back, you're a troll in my eyes, idk what else to say. Get mad.

Being luckier doesn't mean competition, but that's neither here nor there. And I'm not even trying to argue pro or against this being a troll thread. I'm just talking about those that blame not getting a house on the player that have houses on their alts. It hasn't happened in this post, mind you, but I've seen people rage, and call other selfish and ruin the game because they have alts, and therefore they are thieves? Sure the names are poking fun, and even petty, but what about raging at others...

Bottom line is this is just a video game. No need to take things so seriously. Just have fun. I've been trying to get a house since Feb when I made my alt, and I've lost to many people, but it's whatever lol.

There's so many complaint threads, even though these were really just some wards to tide us over till Square could do more. Regardless of this being a troll thread or not I'm going to share my happiness

I got the medium I wanted, my friends got the smalls close to it and I managed to snag the FC house all close to each other. We've got a little neighbourhood and I never have to be anxious over running for some houses again.

I am fully on board with the main purpose of this thread though. With all the negativity and rants in other threads, SE may well think they should have just never added any new houses at all.

I know there is luck involved, and I am sorry some had super bad luck with multiple tech glitches over and over again. I was a first time buyer, very well prepared thanks to advice from experienced house-hunters.

I did get the lobby error, re-queued again, was 685 in the queue, and when I eventually got in, much of the district I wanted (Lavender Beds) was still open (on a pretty high-pop server too), so I easily got to one of my top choices (just a small). I had many backup plans, including camping one of the old ward plots through the day and if that didn't work out either, getting an apartment until the next time houses are released.

So I do want to say thank you to SE for at least making some wards available. They wouldn't know it from all the hate that is being hurled at them in this forum - but anything they are able to add, whether content or housing, is appreciated, especially during this time when life is pretty rough for most.

Close to 50,000 people got homes Tuesday. They need to add a lot more wards and hopefully that is coming with new servers soon hopefully for 5.4 and certainly with Ishgard which is probably going to come with 5.5. Grats on getting your place.

I got one too!
I was at work when the patch hit so I couldn't try and get one in the rush, but the next morning I was wandering around and managed to get one off the relocation timer!
I live in The Mist, which is great because I adore Limsa. My GF helped me move in and find a mailbox and stuff, but while at it she noticed there's a ghost ship in The Mist.
Way out on the horizon there's a boat that floats by that you can only see from certain angles. It's not a draw distance thing, because I ran to the shore and legit couldn't see it. And because the boat sails around it can be really hard to catch this usually invisible boat.

Oh that’s awesome I wonder if it’s there during certain times or weather? I have a house in the mist too I’ll have to check it out. :)

I just noticed that boat for the first time while visiting a friends house on another server just this past week. We got up onto the top of his roof, and I was like... you getting attacked by pirates?
