Personal Housing Questions

[Cidel]

Yep, not only did they decide to change the affordable personal housing idea, but they made it FC housing ward-based so there will be a mad dash of people logging on to save a plot they can afford:

[Eldonia]

My question is... If my girlfriend and I decide to share a plot, are we going to be able to set permissions so we can both place and move furniture etc?

[Nalien]

Yep i think that's what I'm getting from it as well, I knew this would happen. FREE FOR ALL when the servers are up ( Let me read it again SLOWLY)

EDIT: So whatever happened to "personal housing is going to be more affordable than fc housing"?

I know right? Why did they ever even mention 850k? Heck, since it's a carbon copy for FC Housing, Gardening should be perfectly fine. So... All of the information we did have on Personal Housing was complete and utter bollocks? I'd say I'm confused, but I'm not. Not at SE anyway, confused at my self for expecting anything less from them, sure.

Two Wards for Personal Housing and any Free Companies still lacking a House. Seriously... Those are going to last a few hours at best, nice job SE.

Also, how much Gil to they take when you move server? Because I am getting so damn sick of this pricing system. It made sense in 2.1, now it's just stupid, especially with Personal Housing in mind...

wow... this thread has been derailed.

Hope something amazing happens with airships . . . I know Yoshida was talking about fighting or teamwork involved with using them (his "maybes" so not assured in any means). While less useful I hope we get a cute overworld to traverse or something, I loved that part of FF games. Basically a chocobo porter system (to towns or other SE approved locations like aetherytes you can dock with/drop down), and to make sure a gil sink doesn't disappear have a maintenance cost*. With a lot of optical tricks you could make the map load without too much wait on ps3 (distance with low res textures, with decent looking cloud cover = won't be terrible to load or look at).

Going to be sad if they design airships as a very temporary content, FF has done so much with it and I'd consider them a very exciting moment - unlocking that airship in the games that had an overworld.

I typed above as the patch notes came out. Saw the district information - I laughed and cried. Oh well like I said earlier here, it is a good time to let SE know what people actually want ("that game did it better, why are you doing it like this?" lol).

god forbid the players be happy right, Square. Lord know your game would emplode on itself if you actually did anything that would make anything simple or anyone happy. What the difference between this and ppl setting up FC with one person... it has been and is done.. I couldve had this "personal" housing last month.

[Nalien]

I am almost certain I am not going to get the plot I want, even if I run to log in. Cannot believe I've waited so long for this, if Ninja wasn't around the corner I'd probably stop playing.

Last time they added new Wards on Excalibur, they didn't take long to fill up, and that was for Free Companies. Now anyone can fill up these two Wards. Pathetic, they could have at least blocked people with a Free Company House from purchasing right away, considering, you know, they have a House and Private Room. But no, "Leaders and members of free companies that already own estates can also choose to purchase plots as individuals.", make it so every single person on the server can fill up these Wards as soon as possible. Bravo SE.

Oh good, reached my daily post count. Time to piss off and probably not come back until SE hires someone with a degree of common sense about them. If they'd just blocked Free Company members who already have an estate from purchasing, until 2.4 when they plan more Wards (probably another two, not getting my hopes up again), I would be 90% less pissed off about this.

$18 and you can only transfer 1 million gil the rest will be lost (also 100 thousand for each retainer). It is pretty annoying, I agree XD

Time to start buying out Clear Demimateria and Allagan Pieces from idiots on the Market Board so I can move with all my Gil then. Go figure their server transfer system is as idiotic as everything else.

One big thing people seem to have missed is that they're adding a large number of wards in 2.4. This isn't the end if you can't afford what you want today. I'll admit it's going to be a long night for me since I absolutely want a specific house and have been planning this for months now.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm just jaw dropped that they
1) put FC housing and personal housing in the same area, instead of making a whole new area/scenery to go with personal housing.

2) that they made personal housing the SAME price as FC housing. How does it even make sense to have a single person buy something at the same price as what a group of people are supposed to buy?

3) That they only added 2 new wards, i'm on a medium populated server, i feel terrible for people on the more populated servers, not only will there be a mad dash, only the super rich will be able to buy personal housing, and free companies that have been waiting to get a house now have to compete with these people for a precious plot. People that anticipated the pricing to be lower (since yoshi initially hinted around 800k) will be left in the dust, wanting a house, but by the time they have enough saved, all the plots will be gone.

Personal housing is supposed to be something fun that most people will be able to do... Why they even thought this was ok is beyond me... They're really cutting corners, and they're going to loose valued customers because they're too cheap to upgrade their servers. I'll be fortunate enough to be able to buy a small house right off the bat, but i seriously feel for those who's hopes are going to be crushed. Even I didn't think they would stoop so low as to have personal housing be the same price as FC housing.

And if you want to pay that 850K pricing you only have to wait 60 days! lol (They said half life of price is at 30days, on my server at least that'd be about 2 months for a new person).

Hope they slow down the use of gardening in the game, that's going to kill new people who cannot afford to buy a house but are getting gouged by the rich to be richer lol. Glad my FC mates let me own the garden when I want XD <3

Time to start saving up 20mil+ by 2.4 for a fighting chance, everyone.
