Ishgard is beautiful and I cant wait to get a place there, but I do hope they add more housing areas eventually, at first when I heard they were going to be making a heavensward style housing area I thought it would be like sea of clouds (houses in the sky) and not gonna lie I still think that would be amazing.
Do you think they will add more housing zones like that? Based on the length of time it took for Ishgard to be implemented at all its hard for me to tell if its really hard for them to make whole new zones and that's why, or if it was kind of a buildup thing. Anyways, what are the chances well get more zones? If they did add more areas what kind would you like to see?
Future housing areas?

If there's enough demand for them, I don't see why they wouldn't. They'll probably wait and see if Ishgard housing solves the housing issue first though, so I'm not holding my breath for any housing area in Endwalkers. If anything, we'd probably get more wards.
It's impossible to say what the chances really are, though. The smarter choice from a developer perspective would be to add more servers and DCs, which would compensate for upcoming growth of playerbase and help mitigate the housing issue.
Anyway, the only housing zone I'd really wanna see is large apartments. I'm pretty satisfied with the current districts that we have and can't think of any other city, except maybe the upcoming Radz-at-han, where there could be a player housing district. -

Hard to say but we'll have 4 areas with EW. A more likely scenario would be added new wards rather than new areas.

clearly the best housing ward would be on the first in the crystarium ;) you'll have very few neighbors seeing how most the world is dead...

05-11-2021, 09:27 PMHollyJollyPacaOh no, sea of clouds housing would be BEATUFIUL with all the fauna. Why did you give me such dreams?Quote:

i think if we get new housing wards they'll be in the new regions somewhere on the moon. Can't wait for them to show us what some of the zones are going to look like. As it is we didn't get any new housing in any of the Shadowbringers areas and some of them are simply beautiful.

Id love an area like idyllshire as a housing area

The devs have acknowledged our desire for Crystarium housing.
They were actually kind of taken aback by it because they were asked about it after Ishguardian housing was already in the works lol -

The housing issue can be solved by instancing housing. A lot of people, including myself, do not care if someone else can or not see the house. If they can make apartments, they can make instanced housing. Is not a technical problem. Is a will problem. Just make bigger apartments in which one can plant things and not a shoe box in which people cannot plant things. Is funny that Inn rooms are bigger than apartments in this game.
Since there is a perceived rarity in housing. Those who have houses will not leave the game as easy and instead continue to pay the monthly fee. So there is a monetary incentive to keep the things they way they are. If housing was instancing, there would be no loosing the house you camped a lot for if you leave the game for a while. Meanwhile those who want the house stay to find a house. The game is also a bit mischievous in giving rewards that can only be used in housing. -

05-21-2021, 08:58 AMJojoyaThat door swings both ways. There's monetary incentive in giving more players access to content so they'll have more to do. Why do players unsub? Because they run out of things they want to do. The more they have to do, the longer they stay subbed.Quote:

There's no risk involved unless the 44th day is the start of a 24 hour maintenance (easily avoided - return after 43 days instead).
What I'll never understand is why people continue to waste money paying a subscription for a game they don't want to be playing just to maintain possession of an item they aren't using. Walking into a house to reset the demo timer once every 6 weeks isn't using it. -
05-21-2021, 07:25 PMLaylaTsarraI have a friend who does just that. Hasn't played in years but logs in once every 45 days to keep his house. I really don't understand why.Quote:

I'd like to see:
- Allagan themed housing.
- Garlean themed housing.
- Sharlayan themed housing.
- Amaurot themed housing.
- Eulmore themed housing.
- Dalmascan themed housing. -
05-25-2021, 03:30 AMBlackwing_SoulI feel like any game that doesn't implement player housing on the scale of Wildstar is just wasting its potential. Keep the wards and neighborhoods for the folks that want to maintain their status symbols. But add full lot sized housing options for people who just wanna build and decorate. Everyone wins!Quote:

should just give us an airship to live on in the sea of clouds instead of a housing ward.

think they should consider moving all housing areas into one area only, and by that making a better way to get along with your neighbors and such... instead of spreading it out.... Hype for Ishgaard Hype for Shirogane... and whatever else.

As much as I love Ishgard, I won't like, I just want a small plot in Gridania.

I'd love for the next area targeted for a Firmament style crafter/gatherer renovation to be Ala Mhigo. The place didn't get nearly enough lore in Stormblood imo, be nice to have that on top of a new housing area there. Especially if they made it instanced this time rather than another neighborhood.

Tbh, we are going to need housing in Ala Mhigo, Sharlyan, Norvrandt, and maybe Garlemald (if not other places) if we are ever going to get enough housing to fix this housing issue, and quite possibly also a few more data centers to spread out the playerbase and reduce the demand (especially on the North American servers). With WoW and Blizzard shooting themselves in the face repeatedly, and getting a huge influx of Asmonsprouts, this is only going to get worse before it gets better.

To me, Ishguard is gloomy, cold and very uninviting, I'll pass. I like beaches, mountains and green areas with lots of sun, flora, fauna and water.
