What sense is releasing patch 6.11 without fixing the issues in 6.1

So according to Yoshi, they will be suspending all purchases or transfers of housing in patch 6.1. Meanwhile, those like myself and my FC have definitely won the bid since we were the only bidders and can't claim our house because of the 0 bug. So why can't they transfer ownership of those houses that they KNOW were won by FC's since they were the only bidders? It isn't that complex really. Especially IF what they claim about one server not speaking to another is the issue.

I for one have not been impressed with the entire Endwalker fiasco. Between lack of content, changes in content that literally dumbed it down, and catering to those people who don't tend to spend money in the game anyway, add in the housing issues and the complete lack of availability for housing to the average person and it is really turning me off the game.

This game was fun for me, then all this nonsense happened with no care for the players that put in for the lottery and waited to win, and when you won you couldn't claim because you lost to Yoshi himself. Because that is what we are joking about in the FC. But to further deny us the home we paid every single penny our FC had, and we are talking millions of gil from each player combined to be able to place as many bids as we did to ensure our winning the home. We won, but in the end...we lost because now everyone is back to work and unable to even claim our home.

And all I hear is crickets chirping from Square Enix in regards to this one issue.

I for one suggest to them that they repair what is broken before adding more content that will be most likely broken to.

They appear to want the entire fix to go live at the same time. It shouldn't be much after 6.11 before it's ready. It's still being tested according to their latest update. We don't need another problem best to be sure it's working fine first.

The idea is that patch 6.11 has other stuff that can go live that isn't related to housing. Instead of delaying those fixes (and putting added pressure on fixing the housing bug), they will just release patch 6.11 on time and the housing bug fix when it is ready.

Yep i agree, fix the housing bug before the patch, but hey there is ultimate and also world first, so to them housing is on the back burner, and i would imagine that even though the patch is "ready" they would be doing final prep to make sure.
Do u think right now they are spending all there man hours on housing, or to make sure the patch is working and getting it ready?
Hey this is just my opinion and i have no facts......but well.

cry about it

Reading the updates on The Lodestone would explain much. Release of the Ultimate has no impact on the housing situation. The developers who created the Ultimate do not work on housing.

You might also want to keep in mind that the Ultimate was originally planned for release in patch 5.4, then they pushed it back to 5.5 then they announced it wouldn't be until 6.1. It's been delayed for 16 months. It's way overdue.

But at least you have your ignorance to share.

6.11 was meant to be Dragonsong ultimate raid release patch. They cant change it after delaying it for 2 or 3 times already.

tbh who cares about ultimate when you could have a mansion! xD Except you can't coz guess what, a bug? You gonna call out people's ignorance when all they do is react to an ongoing fiasco? OP is right, every1 knows housing is big and very much sought after in this game. How many people trying for a house in comparison with a world first? lol laughable!

Ah, yes, let us delay the patch that people took time off of work for so they can participate in the Ultimate World First race just because some people apparently think that until a specific issue affecting them is fixed, no one else is allowed any content they might have been looking forward to and planned and prepared for for months.

I hope it's obvious I'm being sarcastic here.

So, if you read his post in its entierty, you would know that the patch won't affect the housing zones and disrupt their recovery for the zero bug. Hence, the patch continues as it should.

But your later comment makes me believe that you are either just throwing a tantrum, or really don't read anything past the toxicity of the forums. "Hearing crickets" is so far from the truth, you aren't even in the ballpark with that lie.

There have been several posts from SE about the issue. Just because you either ignored them or chose not to read them isn't on them - that's your ball of twine to unravel.

And yes, I am also affected by the stupid zero bug. I'm not going to wish ill on the player-base just because housing isn't fixed yet by taking a patch away because it doesn't include a fix. That's just maniacal and self-centered.

What part of Jojoya's post was wrong?

That's not coming from a place of SE white knighthood, that's straight fact, which appears you take issue.

No new lotteries before the fix... or they will really screw over their fans.

PvP'ers is better at grasping the game than Ultimate players anyway whenever it get to it, you can train following the same script on repeat and it will never bend or change in timeline of what is going to happen, vs. you have to make up stuff on the go in PvP.

hey Mark don't bother with these people, it's a bunch of sad pedantic See You En Tee's and this forum is crawling with them. Say your piece (which on this occasion I wholeheartedly agree with) and let them fight it out in their basement battlestations!

Consider me rude if you want but you were the one being rude in the first place.

You could have said you were frustrated by the lottery problem and wished SE could fix it faster. I think most, if not all of us, feel the same way and would be in agreement with that.

Instead you chose to be rude by throwing out a baseless accusation against the dev team then went so far as to say you were doing it without any facts.

Only an ignorant person makes an accusation without any facts to support it. It's especially ignorant when information that clarifies the situation was already made available and easy to find.

My question did they not test out the lottery system before they brought it out. It seems like to me they never beta tested it or wouldn't had bugs to it that would stop the sales to plots.

They told you everything about it, they need time and QA and the likes and more to go through this requires more than just being able to handle the planned update, as the statements they put, they told you exactly how many business days they need for each step... and some may take long or be quick as well depending on what kind of obstructions they run into.

Yeah they tested it, but the test environment wasn't close enough to a real server to be a valid test.

A bit like taking a driving test on an empty city street, the results won't be the same as if it's peak hour traffic.

And that's the problem, right there. They tested it with ONE person only bidding in ONE lottery.
Not really a test of anything more than:
'can I bid?'
'yes'
'ok, it works'
...
There was no full phases test.
No beginning to end test.
Because even if there had only been ONE bidder and they ran the actual lottery, even if they shortened the times for the tests, they'd have run afoul of the bug and known about it beforehand.
I'd say it is obvious they didn't do that but the possibility still exists that the bug was introduced by their emergency patch that changed the parameters of who could and who could not bid in lotteries that they released on day 2 of the lottery WHILE it was in progress.
Programming 101 says you don't CHANGE parameters of a program while it's running.

Why would you delay ALL content for the sake of housing?? Punish the whole playerbase for a mistake and some salty people? Nah. Wait, get over it and enjoy your house in May or don't and unsub.
