The lotto winner.... number ZERO? Are you serious???

Really? Your entire FC can bid on a housing plot.... and NO ONE can win still? You can be the ONLY person to bid, and STILL lose??? This is ridiculous, it was hard enough to get a house plot already when it was guaranteed!

Oh, and lets not even get started on the OBVIOUS rmt "free companies"

Please do notice they are all Goblet 2. Please do notice how similar the wins are. Please do know that this is after 1 day of housing.

yay!

https://i.gyazo.com/c5e159e0ded17fa5...80889d4239.png

I lost

Square, hotfix needed asap!

Unbelievable...

SE come on sort this out asap

lol wow 0 can be a thing xD well whoever 7 was won the medium I was going for, oh well

Between this and White Mage having unlimited Cures in PvP, it's very obvious the Dev team did not have proper time to QA an ultimate, a new housing system, and a new 24 man.

Something is going wrong on the Dev team.

Wait.. let me get this straight. There is a chance nobody can win?

There was only one person that applied for the plot. The whole ward has been empty for days, no one passes through here, all the other houses around it say 0 participants.
What do you mean "Number was 0 better luck next time"?

Yay that no money was lost, but holy crap this is awful. So, what, not only do we have to pray for days that we get selected, but even if we're the only ones bidding we might not even get it? Random number generation off of nothing, THAT'S what you're going with, Square Enix? Not randomly generated off the people who participated?

This needs to be addressed right away. There's no way this is intended, it has to be a bug.

lol...is this across all wards/servers?

Everyone in my ward is freaking out.

Only 4 people got an FC house, everyone else is wondering what happened. An entire FC bid on one plot, no one got it.

Some ppl in our FC ward were able to accept their win (with only them bidding)

Jiminy Cricket, SE. Hope there's a hotfix. Wouldn't accept refunds juuuuuuust in case they can fix this.

Yeah this needs to be fixed. Kind of ridiculous that this would even occur with how long this has been in the works.

Can state this issue is occurring in mass on Primal in Empyreum.

Was able to purchase a house without issue on Zurvan in Lavender Beds.

Same here; logged in, viewed results, 0 won the lot and now its just saying no one bid on it, new results on april 20th

yeah, I doubt they will redo the entire thing though. because some people did win. the place I bid on was claimed, so they cant just redo it all, without causing more issues

I have a friend that also had a 1 participant (himself) , so he was alone on the plot and got a 0. I warned that, way before it went out that this system is not made for "players" when it benefit FC's 75% of the time, and you get very convenient "anomalies" on solo players being solo on a plot and getting a 0, better luck next time.

I knew it, everybody i talked to in my fc and other people in game knew some fuckery like this would happen, that it was targetted to another specific "economy".

Still believe systems in mmo aren't bugged / exploit for Rmt'ers on purpose ? Yeah right. I call this some type of obvious insider trading.

I was the only entry in the lotto and I lost please fix this. I refuse to take my money out till this is resolved

you should screen it and take your money-bc you can lose your money if it's not claimed after a certain time

I'm livid. We spread our gil out between all three of our officers for a large and it rolled a ZERO.

I'm not accepting my refund yet in case they reroll it.

What the hell is it about? My fc was the only one who was enter at this plot and we don't get the plot!-_-' Thats not fair!

The property I bid on did have a winner, but there is a post from someone else on Coeurl stating that they're seeing the "no participants" error, so it seems to be spread across multiple DCs. Some people over at SE are probably getting woken up right now. :P

Since a few people actually won, I HIGHLY doubt it will be rerolled :(

Same happened to me. Nice.
I was the only one bidding, and I managed to lose agains't myself. How unlucky.
SE, instead of putting so much effort and money on ARR revamp for F2P, can you give us paying customers, a working lottery system?

I can GUARANTEE you they will come out and say, "Working as intended."™ ...because they don't want to put in the necessary work to make it right for all the people that should've won a house this time. That's their favorite excuse for why we can't have things... "too hard"... :D

Apparently, if the winning bid was entered before the emergency maintenance the other day, it is bugged

No i know people who entered the minute the bidding started and they won the plot. Log in queues are ridiculous right now.

They need to do an instant redo of the lottery for every house that had multiple bids, and give the houses to the people who were the only ones on certain houses. To do anything else would be a slap in the face...

Each time they try to 'fix' the housing system, it seems to get worse. I say this as someone lucky enough to own a house already - the most efficient and fair approach would be to just invest in instanced housing. It works for the likes of Elder Scrolls Online and people don't have to worry about losing access to their house if they decide to take a break in that game.

Surely there must be something on the backend that can be looked into for this and they can basically just re-roll out of the people that did enter in the appropriate period.

i know that i have bad luck... I can't even win when i'm the only one on it.

Most likely be rolled back. And proper coding implemented. With same winners as before

I worked my poor potato body to the bone earning gil for an FC house! Only to be met with a phantom winner of the property?! What fresh syndicate nonsense is this?

In all seriousness this cant intentionally be the system, it must be an error. Hotfix please.

Does anyone know if this is happening to both new owners and relos, or just relos?

On my server, the placard said that the winner is number 6, so it's not a universal issue it seems

Looks like is happening to FCs, Personal, and relocating.

This is extremely sad to see. I feel worse for people who were the only ones to bid and STILL lost than my own loss today. Way to have hopes crushed. I'd suggest not to accept the refund.
