New Live Letter: YoshiP Comments on Housing Prices

[nostrade]

i guess yoshi can't listen to player anymore

Already didnt cared about guild housing, waiting for personal housing but... Still this going be very interesting.

Has this been confirmed as an actual house, not just a room in the FC house?

From Yoshida we can expect anything atm.

6 month after 2.1 for personal house supposedly.

i'm a bit surprise by the amount of gil a battle class can earn per day from what he say.... 20.000 gils is.... well low.
it's almost as if they are saying us, don't play battle class is for the poor.

20,000g per day. So an FC with 10 members will make 200k a day, the cheapest house on Durandal is 40,000,000 . 40,000,000 / 200,000 = 200 days to obtain the smallest house. 30 days (roughly) in a month, 200/30 = over 6 months to obtain the cheapest house on Durandal.

20,000 per day, the most expensive house is 645,000,000, so it'll only take 32,250 days for that FC to obtain that, or with 100 members, 3,250 days, or with 1,000, a year.

"Let's introduce content that most people will not obtain"
"Why?!"
"Why not?"
"Oh, okay, let's go for it!"

Why is everyone overlooking the fact that this is an auction wherein the price decreases over time? It's a pretty big factor and everyone seems to be forgetting it.

So everyone is just going to keep flaming and completely ignore the fact that he just confirmed the new content is going to be adding new forms of gil creation? No one has even the slightest clue what kind of new gil sources there will be, or how much the payout of those sources will be. For all we know treasure hunting and beastmen activities could net us tens of thousands of gil a day. I'm getting really sick of people judging the overall ramifications of content balancing when they don't even have any of the actual numbers in the first place. I suggest everyone stop thinking they know what's best and at least TRY to wait until AFTER you have actually had a chance to interact with a new system before jumping to conclusions.

TL;DR: No one knows anything so just hush up and wait D:

[KairiSgheart]

That reasoning is kind of weak. Is fine if we have to work towards it, but being on legacy servers, many FC new and even old ones are just like the FC in new servers with the amount of gil. The lowest group have smallest house 4mil and largest 62.5mil. Where as the highest group of legacy have lowest price 40mil and highest 625mil. That's 10x more. But there's a problem.

Where the lower group all earn 20k per day per person. the highest group is also earning the same. so when people in the lowest group able buy the house in say 3 months. those in the highest group will be 10 x 3. 30 months? and that is if everyone in fc everyday grind for gil, thats no fun, most of us like come in play, relax and have fun. And a FC house although vanity, is a nice chill out place, but is kinda unfair that we have to do 10x harder than others just to enjoy the same content. When the minority in the entire servers are the one having all the high gil, and the rest are just the same as new players/servers.

the price can't go under 50% of the initial price, was said while the live letter

@juran: yoshida have already stated that battle class can earn roughly 20.000gils per day and don't hope that the market will help you, on legacy server sel stuff for over 25.000 gils (outside special craft) it's .... meh!

It's so sad that it's almost funny... your lack of reading comprehension, that is.


The 20k per day number is directly from Yoshi, including all the new stuff in 2.1

But I guess even Yoshi doesn't know what's going to be in n 2.1 according to you right?

TL;DR - learn2read

[jetsette1]

He. Just. Said. You'll make 20k a day and that it would take you THREE MONTHS of hard work grinding gil to afford a house. That was the response to the housing issue. So how do we know not -anything-? We do not know specifics, but we know some estimates. People clearly do not like these estimates.
