Still Can't Bid on a Single House

Travelled to every available house for sale now that servers are back and the issue was "fixed".

Not a single option to bid on any house. Free Company or Single Person houses. I click the placard, it only gives me an option to "view lottery results". No bidding option.

Nice housing system you got there, Squeenix.

The next lottery cycle will begin promptly on Thursday, 26 May at 15:00 (GMT) / 16:00 (BST) / Friday, 27 May at 01:00 (AEST), at which point you will lose the ability to claim land you won during this lottery. We will announce this deadline again as it grows closer, so please do not forget to claim your land.

It was literally written in the same article that stated how the housing system was fixed, that the next lottery cycle will begin next week.
But apparently people are not competent enough to properly read and then jump the gun right away, when their uninformed expectations aren't fulfilled.

It's fixing the ability for people who got the 0 bug to claim their houses. They are allowing more time than normal which I think is usually 4 days for people to do this. I think the normal cycle is 5 days to bid and 4 days to claim your house then the next cycle will start.

Because you not getting to bid on your house is not the problem they were fixing, nor was anyone except you ever corncerned about that.
The problem was people who already had bid on a house and would've won didn't get their house. THAT was the problem and that's what they fixed.

If the housing lottery hadn't been halted, 17th May and 26th May would have been regular lottery start dates. 17th would have been not enough time. 26th will move us back into regular schedule.

Why is the housing in the other locations still can be purchased? I thought SE had lifted the housing purchase and relocation?

I mean apparently they think that people need 10 days to understand that they got a house and to claim it.

"Oh look I got this amazing house, let me just wait 2 weeks so I can claim it !"

I am glad I haven't tried to invest my time into this whole housing thing. It seems to be one HUGE headache at the moment...Claim your house this day, I still can't bid, Fix this issue but not this issue. Yeah, no thank you.

Really, it’s not hard to comprehend: they are giving lottery winners some time to complete the house transfer. For those of them who had another house, it will also free that house plot for the next lottery.

The only thing is that the lottery cycles are way too long and they added days to that cycle by extending the period to claim a house up to the 26th. It shouldn’t be more than 2 days to claim and 2 days to bid.

The cynic in me thinks it's a good way to keep people subscribed.

Agree with this, shouldnt be longer than that, 10 days is ridiculous.

Was going to say alot, but idc. This is a game and it's not real. The real things I have are more important, than a fake house. So I say screw this fake game. I am not playing much anymore anyway and probably won't be giving them my money much longer I have better things to spend it on like gas and real food. When it's not fun I can't and won't waste my time and it's not fun or very fair. Food is good irl, having gas in my car and a roof over my head irl more important than this dumb s@#t

OP's lack of reading comprehension is both shocking and unsurprising.

I got me bridge. I have a place to call home now where I can count me millions of gil.

So many people incapable of reading these days

The houses you are clicking on, if they say the number ticket that won, are winners from the previous lottery that had to be fixed during maintenance last night.

During the first lottery, the one that had bugs, it is understandable that all if not most of the houses were bid on and thus, will show the winners now, after the fix. All if not most of the houses you see listed at the teleport, are houses that people should have won during the bugged lottery, but are only now being correctly announced as winners after the fix.

The listings all show on the teleport with prices but you have to click the individual house to see if it has been won already or not.

If all the houses do not allow new bidding, you must wait until the next lottery starts and check any plots listing prices, click on the individual house's placard and see if it is available to bid on and how many current entries have already bid.

Any house that does not allow current bidding, but does not show a winner ticket number, will be available for bidding during next lottery session.

Yeah I felt like 1 week is more then enough time for folks to claim their houses. Plus I figure that their priority would be to get next lottery up and running asap just in case another issue pops up so they don't have shut it down for another two half months.

Lets be real none of you will be winning anyway, why bother? Quit worrying about the most useless shit in game and focus on something more productive. :D

You must be popular at parties.

The irony of the same person accusing me of poor reading comprehension when I interpret their big antagonistic rant about something as them disliking said thing, because they didn't LITERALLY say '' I don't like this ''.
Hmm..

It doesn't even reference a wait time. So no this is not fixed.

Wards 1-18 are Free Company only. Lots of these houses, especially the smalls, were not even bid on, even on heavy pop servers.

You can't bid because the lottery period was extended for people to claim their houses. (The next lottery cycle will begin promptly on Thursday, May 26 at 8:00 a.m. (PDT)

Yes.. the original problem has been fixed. For the absolute love of mike can y'all read an announcement for once.
