What happened to 800k personal housing?

[Kaizuko_Hakupac]

You should be upset you were lied to. I don't care who you are. This is a blatant lie and regardless of whether or not you want a personal house or whatever, you - the customer- was lied to.

They could have warned us way before the patch this was going to happen. They didn't. Instead they purposefully mislead us about it, let people believe they could stop saving around 2.5 million and told us the exact opposite of what they were doing.

I love this game. Usually when people complain I wave them off. I run an FC on Balmung that has a Large Mansion in Lavender Beds. I personally have enough for a personal house.

I'm livid they lied to us. Flat out.

And you should be, too.

^ This is absolutely true , we can talk about the prices , but the fact is SE Sucker punched us , misled, lied, and upset allot of players on this.

Fact.

Ok...so...let me get this straight, not ONLY do I have to pay as much as an ENTIRE Free Company for the same house but now I also have to COMPETE with the FC's for the limited number of plots?! WTH, SE?!

This is the biggest load of bull I have ever heard. That had better be some kind of horrible mistranslation of the patch notes...

I read somewhere else, Yoshi has never logged in or played FFXI? How can this be Yoshi. I can only assume it was to have an unbiased attachment from FF11, and not clouding ideas in relation to FF14 decisions. But Yoshi having a concept of how personal Mog houses functioned in FF11 would have helped with developing FF14 personal housing.

People were expecting a separate instance, away from Free Company instances. People wanted to run around wards seeing other single home owners, not free company homes mixed in with single player homes.

Giving us permission to decorate and upgrade the size of our personal inn rooms, would have been a better outcome. As, it would have merge our Inn rooms to our own personal housing. Their could have been a little nest for our chocobos to rest in, like in FF11.

If Yoshi played FF11, he would have a better idea of what we ( ex FF1 veteran players) wanted, concerning personal housing.

Be creative. It would have been better to hold off till 2.5 than to have the out rage that is going to escalate, when everyone wakes up today.

And for people thinking I want a ffx11 clone.... NO I dont... I welcome the outside front lawn of my houses. -no one is saying they want ff11 instance rooms, which is in fact the same thing we have with our cities Inn rooms. we just don't have the permission to decorate it freely.

I want my mini game, retainer, barber, chest, CS book all in my personal house when I spend the 4mil gil to get it. This is common sense, why would they still have Inn rooms, alienated from our personal house, put all that stuff in the same house. Give me a mini quest if you have too. But I want movers to come and move all that stuff from the inn, to my new home.

I want all that stuff waiting for me in my personal house when I buy it. Every player should be getting that addition for free, upon purchase. I don't want to go back to the Inn to play the mini game or to deposit items in my chest, to get a hair cut or to watch old cut scenes. I want all that accessible to me in my personal house.

....PS
When I log out(sleeping on the bed I just bought) and log back into the game the next day, I want to be in my bed waking up stretching and then standing to my feet. I don't wanna be outside, wondering how I got there. "Does my character sleep walk now?"

Sincerely

I don't make many posts on the official forums anymore. Not as much as I did in 1.0, but this housing issue brought me back here to share my disappointment in not only with housing, but the greater issue spoken albeit indirectly by Yoshida and his development team.

First of all, this is a inexcusable misrepresentation of what he had planned and told his player base. ...

Thank you for an incredibly thoughtful post. Everything you say is true.

Honestly reading through housing changes all I see is it's not actually personal housing but people are jumping the gun to assume this is personal housing. All they've done is making the 2 new wards accessible for players to purchase without an attachment to a FC so while they can be seen as a personal home they are nothing more than a bandaid system til they implement the true housing lots.

Pretty much what they are doing atm is just offering some players a chance to by housing if they really want it but they are pushing to make it where in 2.4 there should hopefully be no limit to the amount of people that can buy a house.

I think what they have in mind is they would rather open wards and keep it as a glamour like concept before opening the floodgates and pissing off those that saved 800k and miss out on buying a house cause lots ran out.

Please would the "infomercial men of Eorzea" plz stand up and start selling ur gil making secrets!! I've seen numerous ppl on here say how easy it is to make millions in a day...by all means let's here it!! And if u plan to say sell primal extreme runs, keep it to ur selves becuz their are those of us who would rather help the fellow player free of charge as opposed to exploiting wat little coin than may have to clear content.. So by all means great and powerful wise men of profit!!! Share ur secrets...we are intently listening..

PS. Wat a joke personal housing is...point blank!

I didn't even have my forum account set up... this has made me set up the account.

Like many others, I had been looking forward to personal housing and had been saving some gil as it was said that it would be cheaper than FC housing.

What I see now, is that the cost is exactly the same and that all SE did was to change a line of code that instead of saying "only for FC", now says "For everyone". It's plain to see that they dropped the ball on the personal housing; might as well just stick to your private room in your FC.

I came here from RIFT and I was used to being able to build everything from scratch, literally wood board by wood board if I wanted to with immense item limits. Perhaps SE should go poke the makers of RIFT to learn a thing or two about how to create housing instances that don't FUBAR the rest of the servers due to their loads.
