More houses?

[TheHubby]

Fair enough, I'll give you the team getting tied up, but I can't begin to comprehend the server load problem. WoW added garrisons which are unique to each character on your account, so if you have 8 characters, you have 8 customized garrisons. Star Wars TOR added housing and allows each character on your account multiple customizable houses. And Star Wars went free to play a bit ago, so I simply cannot believe in any way, shape or form that with a very popular subscription based game that Square can't afford to upgrade their hardware.

As for the team, square should be measuring making a couple hundred homeowners per server happy vs. thousands of ticked off FC's and individuals who won't get a damn thing from those housing upgrades because they can't actually buy a house anyway. Sorry if it does push back some fixes or upgrades, the great majority of us who can't have a house really don't feel that bad if the few with them have to wait a couple months extra for some of the changes.

You're calling people crabs while trying to get a house at expense of house owners on 64 servers. And you don't want to transfer because it's not "super easy all the time". Are you sure we are the issue and not you?

There isn't a me and you. The housing system is broken if some servers can't get houses ever and the development team's answer is "transfer dawg!" This isn't an answer unless transferring is as easy as switching classes, because people accumulate wealth and connections on the server of their choice. Even if they want to transfer, there are a ton of restrictions and a lot of things you lose. I can accept that housing is simply in a state I have to just deal with(especially cause that means all the money I saved means I'm pretty rich as far as everything else is concerned!), but the system is currently busted for some servers and it's going to continue to break for more and more servers. A set number of housing districts is an untenable solution to a growing game.

okay.

4. no new wards until after 3.0. Already been announced. As they said, the Cash shop money is being used to fund the new EU datacenter, and the Heavensward money may be enough to upgrade the servers to support more subdivisions.

TL;DR there is plenty of housing, but players are not willing to put in the effort/money to get it, and would prefer it handed to them on a silver platter.

So long as new wards are added after 3.0 I'm patient and will wait. But there needs to be a definite "Yes we will add wards in the future." or "No, we have no intention of ever adding any more wards." That way I know if I need to end my sub and find another game, or keep playing and wait for the housing to be released.

Oh man, guild airships? I can't wait for my buddies and I t-

In addition to regular flying mounts and single-rider airships, free companies, the Final Fantasy 14 version of guilds, will be able to build larger company-wide airships. This will be made possible via a new system called "free company crafting," and it will start with building a workshop in your free company's house.

Oh.

Please Square Enix, we NEED more houses before 3.0, can't wait that longer.

Sure you added Subdivisions, twice the plots (still beats me why you didn't just add more wards, instead of awkward subdivisions in the Aetherytes, but whatever...), but just as you added twice the plots, you opened these plots to personal housing, effectively killing most of the plots for new FCs, now entire FCs are stuck with horrid small plots only, while singular rich players have entire mansions for themselves. I don't even. We need at least 10 more Wards for it to last a while, at the very least.

C'mon, at least read dev live letters.

"We’ll continue to add more land"

I was saving up for a personal house, but then came along the next gil sink steps of Relic....

I'm not trying to be mean and I hope you can understand this without getting offended.. But if you're referring to buying a pre-relic weapon and attaching 2 tier III materia on it as a gil sink... you really need to find a better way to farm gil.. Or just settle for the "apartments" in your FC housing in the form of private chambers.

Ugh, this exactly.

I want to buy a home for my (small) FC, but there is NO way we could afford to pay twice for it. And that's IF we find someone who's even willing to sell to us. There HAS to be some way to resell a house that'd be fair to both parties. Right now, it's unfair to both, as sellers don't get back all of their money, and buyers have to pay twice, which makes no sense to me.

It'd be nice to at least have an official word as to if they're at least working on it, or if they have any plans for the (hopefully near) future...

You could buy an FC with housing attached (many of those for sale on my server lately) and hope that you can change the FC name somewhere along the future updates.
Not an ideal solution but it may be your only way to get the housing if you can't afford to pay double the price for it.. Because paying off somebody to relinquish and buying the plot would set you back a lot more

Maybe?

No new housing options will make it into Coerthas, but there are plans to continue expanding the existing districts and make them more vibrant and accessible.

Thought I'd share this post from a thread in GD, since it might interest some people here.

I'm not sure where to post this but i'd like to know how a FC gets to own 6 houses. on famfrit i have worked very hard on getting the money for a house there was a lot of empty plots 2 weeks ago especially in Goblet now all are gone over night. Famfrit Goblet ward 1 a FC bought 6 plots 5 of the houses are listed in company as subs of the main fc with each sub being closed with just 2 members the main fc has 120 members so its certainly not issue of lack of rooms in main house since others are closed fc. so my question is this allowed? being so little housing i wouldn't think so

Did they expect this to happen? Probably not. Is it allowed? As of how the system currently works, it can, yes. I'm personally not surprised some FCs "hoard" housing that way (They send members into "alt" FCs to rank them up to 6 and get a house). It gives them more garden spaces for themselves (I suppose), and whatnot. Honestly, I don't think that's worth it for how much of a group of asshat it makes you look, but people do it because they can. :/
