Yes imagination took center stage when the devs created the Cafe' and Gingerbread exteriors. When they create masterpieces like this I am confident they know more than the player base. The player base should keep quiet and enjoy the wonderful ride they have been given.

I'm confident you know less than an elementary school student when it comes any sort of XIV issue ever

06-23-2022, 04:28 AMsagaciousBut the player base say the Devs don't care about the housing issue and when I see the precious work and detail they put into a housing exterior I cry foul. Player base needs to respect this dev team more than any other. Give them a chance to fix things and limit the clanging ring of complaints.Quote:

06-23-2022, 05:35 AMsagaciousBut listen this is what they want, let me explain. Many games have that rare weapon everyone wants but is very hard to obtain and a small % of the base grinds that hard to get it, in the same way square wants to have that unique thing(houses) that all players want but is hard to get. Bots took the system over and were standing in the way of success so the lottery was introduced to take the bots out of the system and it worked. Today that rarest of systems is still rare, but they will try and alleviate criticism with the island sanctuary. This is what I see.Quote:

Enjoy your housing and its decorations as it makes you happy , and whilst others will tease just take it on the chin and have fun with it sometimes you can have some hilarious fun if you join in on banter instead of sticking to arguments. -
06-23-2022, 06:36 AMRenaltOh no I legitimately love your posts. They always spark such marvelous debates. I'm all for it.Quote:

Sometimes I forget its not a corporate owned intellectual property.

Players: There are not enough houses and if what you say is true about hosting and bandwidth there will NEVER be enough houses.
SE: LOOK! PRETTY WALLS AND DECORATIONS FOR HOUSES!
What problem was solved here? -
06-23-2022, 09:53 AMKnot_D
Gingerbread house? GOOD taste?? That's a bottom tier list like paissa and carbuncle and chocobo house! (although I've visited Sakaguchi's FC house and he used paissa house...)
Also EVERYBODY use Cafe house already that makes it so generic as helllike midlander:) -
06-23-2022, 09:56 AMShibiNot really, Sage, hun.Quote:

So, while they are pretty exterior walls, they are not imaginative.
This will always trump them:

I would like to thank everyone here for keeping the OP entertained in General Discussion and out of the Housing subforum.
And here I thought they were just getting imaginative with leftover assets from Lyhe Mheg.Quote:

Have you seen Limsa lower decks in the last 2 years? Class aesthetics and good tastes have been thrown out the window and have been replaced with the casual attire and male 2b leggings. :^)

06-23-2022, 07:03 PMSaraideThen why did you suggest that people make essentially solo FCs to circumvent the ward split. I thought you trusted in the devs plan to do the right thing?Quote:

Sad thing is, this is still probably the way to go. All this change does is guarantees that in 17 days thousands of people who trusted the devs will descend on whatever's left of wards 10-18 by then. Anyone who made a shell FC will be able to get in before all that competition gobbles up what's left. Even if these changes went into effect in the next bidding cycle, here on balmung we'd consume it all and be right back to square one in a single bidding session. In 17 days, the ~100 or so small plots currently available in those wards are gonna drop off. When it's time for individual bids to begin, we're gonna see individuals dealing with disgusting competition on a plot they don't even really want. Meanwhile, if you abused the system and just made a gross solo FC you wouldn't have to deal with any of this. I know people who did this the moment it was announced because they had 0 faith in square (rightfully so), and they're squared away in their nice little house and working towards starting up solo submarine ventures so they can print money in the future. Square themselves incentivized this crap and now they're even giving the slower folks a two weeks notice on when the gravy train is ending, lmao. It's so gross. Community's just undermining the whole FC system and Square's over here giving them the thumbs up for doing it and politely keeping them afloat on important housing dates so their alt-FC doesn't miss out on screwing individual players out of a home. Unless you literally just made a solo fc last week, you pretty much won the housing game by abusing the system and square's decided that this is fine. It was 100% the right call to make.Quote:
