Player housing So very disappointed

[Blaize]

They need to test 6 months how their servers behave with guild houding?

Duty Finder wants to wave at you just to remind you of the "good times"

I do personally think SE Are pretty dumb offering FC Content so early and before personal Stuff since really most FC's will be in their infancy, just seems a little backwards to me, but whatever it is SE I'm used to backwards that I can professionally moonwalk!

If you spent a few minutes thinking about it, it makes sense.

Server load is always an issue, and this player housing is instanced. So the more instances the more room they need on their servers. Having an auction and land fees is a good system for SE. It limits how many houses and the number of instances. Like wise, I'm pretty sure there will be a monthly fee as well just in case a FC disappears and they no longer use their land. In which case, the plot will be sold reducing the amount of instances needed.

Once they get a grasp on how the servers will deal with the change they can roll out player housing which will have a great deal more load for the server.

Other games do this, they just don't tell you they're doing it.

No. It is coming, it just comes in the following content patch after 2.1.

Christ guys, they aren't telling you to wait for farts and giggles, its still in development.

The sarcasm flew right over your head hehe.


Anyways on topic. This is something they've said they wanted to do for whatever reasons they want to do it. Seems a bit silly to me to get so bent outta shape about something that will inevitably come to you.

player houseing is said to come out 6month once the 2.1 is release it could come later or sooner just have to wait and see. Also if the only reason you paying a game is to have a house then i think you playing the wrong game lol.

Think your missing the point , I get your f off if you don't like everything white knight response here but once again how is this going to help the game get more players by making player housing not aval to all but fc's

I would chime in but the op likes to toss around white knight on anyone she does not like who disagrees you really need to get off that bs op thats harassment.

if you can't handle others opinions that differ from yours DON'T MAKE THREADS!

They will have no such fees. Here is the Q and A:

"Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of your land and house?

A: There will not be any other costs like this."

I'd recommend checking the Q&A thread to anyone interested in housing. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...IX-Q-A-Updates

That's cool. Then I wonder what they will do with defunct FC's. The ones that don't disband, and they just kind of sit around. I've been in a few of those.

That is a good question. As it stands, I suppose there would just be an empty house in the neighborhood. Would probably just stay there until someone contacted support, and a GM verified that ALL FC members are inactive. Then maybe they'd do something about it. I guess we'll find out. I doubt SE would do anything as long as there were active members though.

this game will have a similar housing system as lotro has, only a bit more advanced. I have no problem with that. I've spend ages farming stuff for my house in lotro and then even more on decorating it, changing wallpapers and background music (!!)


I personally know it's going to drive me crazy to wait this long.

the only thing I'm not too happy about is that apparently you need to be in a FC to have a house. I hope that was just a mistranslation/mash mash with the FC housing

Could I ask where you saw that? I don't remember reading anything about having to be in a FC for personal housing.

in FFXI everyone had a mog house but it was just a single room and there wasn't much really you could do with furniture but get slight bonuses with them. In FFXIV you get a whole house and you can interact with some of the stuff and it will be worth it to have a house. So I understand why having a individual house will come later and not as soon as 2.1 is released.
