Four years later AND 2 new similar items...

/micro rant warning :(

It's been four YEARS since lofts were introduced and this issue remains.
Then SE implements -another- TWO lofts (the round and luminous) with the -same- issue.

The name is a misnomer... it isn't a loft. It doesn't LOFT anything...
What is the point of this item if it can't even do what it is NAMED to do?

Apologies for my venting.. I'm just extremely tired of people having to 'glitch' an item to do what it should be doing itself.

@SE fix this already. sheesh.

Oh.. and stop with the 'minimum height requirements' already.
You already make us 'glitch' things into place... let us glitch them to where we -want- them, be that one ilm off the floor or 20.

If you can program a minimum height requirement you can make that requirement 1 pixel if you wanted to. And that means you could also program a loft to be a small place-able FLOOR code string.

/micro rant over

Come on Squeenix, give us a Z-Axis and free-form placing, without needing to deal with glitching.

You are asking the impossible. The FF14 devs lack the programming skill to implement this.

I am SO glad that you folks created this thread. I consider this to be the OTHER great housing issue (the first being lack of supply). It's good that people are bringing this matter to the forefront. It is beyond bizarre that lofts are all but useless without glitching because the game can't handle Z-axis adjustments.

Lol I'd agree with that if it wasn't for the fact that they -programmed- arbitrary 'minimum height requirements' for almost every item in game.

A rotate/tilt function would be nice too. If these supposed addons (which ARE illegal to use!) can do it, it must be POSSIBLE within the mechanics of the game...

Once again, Ultima Online- over 20 years ago conquered house item placement. It shouldn't be an issue in this game.

Oh yes!

Rotate on all 3 axis, place on all 3 axis... and I'd really love scale, to round out the triad.

The minimum height requirement is so bizarre for me. Why, WHY does this exist? There isn't even a Z axis for placement(not without addons or glitches, at least), and even if there was, WHY?

One dude already made a plug-in for that, what a god send.

We need x,y,z ,rotate and resize...we needed this years ago!!! The UI is only half finished for a smooth housing design.

Remove restrictions ..all items should be able to be placed anywhere and even suspended, buried into the roof/sunk into the floor, + walls too.
no more wall only, table top only, floor etc ffs O.o even indoor and outdoor only is silly and too limiting

WAY WAY too many needless restrictions
dyeable flooring (not rugs)
dyeable ceilings
dyeable stair cases
adjustable lighting/floor
option to remove the huge pillars everywhere!!

**quadruple item limits for all sizes**

It can be achieved so please , the pandemic is over, start working again.
