Housing salt

[Hanayumi]

In the first ward on Balmung, first panel: 10 of 30 plots were FC plots.

Yeah... they really should of made these houses exclusive to FC's or at least opened it up for FC's 1st then later on to private... there's seriously little benefit for houses to be privately owned...

I'd wager that I was probably world first on launching the game as I could login a few seconds before the "maintenance" message got replaced by "online".

Of course the client crashed as soon as I hit "Start" and then I couldn't get the launcher to load. I ended up with a 900+ queue and when I got on all houses were taken.

Knowing SE I will never own a house in Shirogane, ever.

This is a FU U ALL from SE to their fans and players. This shit, the shame to see ppl purchashing houses to sell them for x10 their original price, and bring few houses for overpopulated servers..... SE: "Do you want a house? Go to one of our new empty servers! You won't be able to do anything on that server but you will be able to own a house!"

Most of the large plots on Jenova are presently owned by offline individuals with no estate constructed on the property. In other words: scalpers.

After saving up for a house for about a year i got on before my friends and it kept saying world data could not be obtained for so long that all of them logged in before me. when i got on all the houses were gone. Now every plot in every area; mist, lavender beds, goblet and shirogane are all sold and there isnt a single plot available in the game. Really good job SE..

It’d be one thing if I lost a footrace to a house, but I didn’t even have a chance.

Download speeds were abyssal the entire patch. 0.01-0.30 the entire time. Even after multiple restarts and re-sets like people suggested.

A literal hour later (4h total download), I’m just now logging in.

Not even a fighting chance for a house.

Honestly…

It's early morning. I can imagine it was a "I have it now.. going back to bed" case.

Me and my entire FC got screwed by a broken launcher that messed up 2 minutes before the patch went live. It didn't get fixed until 3 minutes after. Then we got stuck in a queue, and then world data not available, and then every single plot was taken.

And then this FC who bought like 3 houses, including a mansion, ran around in /shout chat, in Kugane, swearing and telling everyone to "get f***ed we run this place, b****es."

Sure is nice that SE fosters and lets this type of behvaior and "competition" happen. "Hey, we know you guys have massive demand, but we have little supply, and not enough stability to handle that much demand. GOOD LUCK."

Then scalpers, sore winners, sore losers, divided community, bitter feelings, hate towards SE, etc.

Tell me - do you have trouble seeing through such rose-tinted glasses?

Patiently waiting for auto-demo to come back... with mah sledgehammer.
