It is utter garbage that people have accepted this method of thinking rather than push on SE to do right by their paying customers. Currently on the dev tracker their popular thread (that is being expedited to the dev team) is DYEABLE GEAR and not additional Housing Wards. Why you ask? Well you need to ask SE why DYEABLE GEAR is such a high priority vs. housing.

Housing is optional and not critical to the game itself. That will never change in SE's eyes. It's why they are bringing in even more apartments.

That being said SSD's are amazing and highly recommended for consoles in general. The difference is staggering.

And before any of you jump at me and call me salty: yes I'm EU, no I'm not going for a Shirogane house, I'm not moving from Mist.
It's a game. They don't care about your work schedule. You play when you can, the game will be waiting.

No, some of us went to the trouble of taking a day off work because we wanted a house. And a lot of people work different hours to you. Honestly, there are options.
I took the day off. not just the house, but to die repeatedly in the first 24 man runs.

Change your router settings to a different DNS. I switched to google DNS servers and never had an issue since.
