Patch 4.2

[MeridaQ]

my FC craft recipes would actually be difficult, like the highest tier would require 4 specialists with certain minimum stats.

This seems like a bad idea, my FC has a lot of people in it and many of them are crafters. Even so we only have a handful of people with high level stats and those people aren’t online at the same time very often.

On top of that this suggestion is counter intuitive to one of the original points of FC crafting. It’s a group effort where everyone can bond working towards the same end goal. If we add this requirement it would lock out some of the newer budding crafters for no real reason. There are many loopholes to company crafting that adding these restrictions will do nothing but make things harder on FCs with new players.

Btw you can make any airship piece or housing wall in your FC and sell it on the MB. Which is another way to get around your suggestions.

Actually no, there's a more common way. There can be 1 member to the FC, after ranking it. That member can put in PF that they are looking for 3 others to help them advance in the workshop. Most people can't afford that many subs. So they do it this way. I still say it's too much of a loop hole. That a restriction should be applied, so that FC's can work as intended and close up this loop hole in housing.

Personaly i think the workshop should be GC related not FC related... I can say ive helped dozens of fc advance workshops and not 1 of them was a "single player" FC. Heck ive even helped 2 of the biggest fc's on my server who put out calls for help. The only things that are even Fc related are the buffs lol not sure why housing glams are locked to fc (well use o be now ever retainer gets them in quick ventures it seems). Airships are the worst 90% of the items they bring back are for all crafters or players (materia) .

Just move the work shop to the GC squad door when you reach rank 3 you get you own to run

that is the point. it's supposed to be hard. if your FC wants those items, they will coordinate a time to get it made. it would also motivate more people to get high level stats on their crafting gear. another thing is, this would give something else for the FC funds to be spent on. idk how your FC handles it but when your airships go out and bring stuff back, what do you do with that? give them out? sell it? some combination of both? what do you do with the gil? well now one other thing you can do is reinvest it into your FC crafters so they can have the high stats to make more items for your FC.

It doesn't do that at all now, so it doesn't matter. And they can still work on the lower level recipes anyway just not the highest ones.

There's nothing wrong with this. All this means is the final product would cost more because the supply would be lower. People should be rewarded for leveling their crafts and being able to coordinate a group crafting session.

I don't think making FC workshop onry going to help much honestly seeing as its a dying feature atm from what i seen.

I agree that they need to upgrade the workshops more often. The only thing I've seen added recently is house walls and a mat that can be obtained through gardening. I find it fun to get together with others in the FC and work as team of crafters/gatherers, but now the fun is being zapped from it. On my server there were so many house walls on the market board when Shirogane went live that hardly any sold, but the latest and greatest walls off the schematic table, that they were going for dirt cheap afterwards.

I once suggested they should add a system to purhcase different kinds of plots for time period. Like have the action hammer in diff color for personal houses, FC's and relocation plots. If these plots arent purchased within some period of time they will be free for all. Sure it will add campers but if people are obsessed so much thats their issue. Or like many have suggested, just add a feature where you can buy a plot and then decide the size of the house or something.

I am tired of seeing so many large and medium plots yellow with no furniture or use on them.

[Vexander]

Can we not? After playing forever on Balmung and then moving to Mateus, I finally got a house, and a Medium too. I really don't feel like paying a monthly rent for a house I own...

Ive had to set my house/fc to locked 3 times now for some times weeks..

1st time i had people who i black listed who would just come in my house and sit there not leaving, it was 3 people who left the fc.

2nd a fc member broke up with a pyscho He came in for days looking for her, the one day she was on in her room she sat on the floor in front of the fc rooms yelling at me to stop hiding her lol.after 30 mins and multi threats to report him for stalking he left s i reported him.

3rd i came home twice in one week to find 2 random people erp'in in my bed in /say.very xxx stuff.. which cool do your own thing ,just not in my bed.being locked just means people dont want you inside dont lump all yellow houses in with flippers please. Some people just dont want people in there house period they bought it they have the right

[KuraTenshi]

Putting ASIDE the amount of resources it would take up... The major downside would be it's locked to FC but! Just imagine..

You get instanced FC Wards. The FC purchases an instanced ward from wherever they'd like. So then anyone in the FC can buy a small/medium/large. FC house can also have whatever. So EVERYONE can have a house. And if you NEED more, it will add more (like apartments) but only when everything has been filled.

PROS
Everyone gets a house
People can get multiple spaces
You can buy at your own time
You still have that neighborhood feel with FC mates
No house flippers

CONS
Tied to an FC
Neighbors only FC mates
Pain to access to view from non FC members
A crap ton of resources from SE

So here are a lot of complaints I've seen and solutions:
Just not enough housing via
-People owning more than one- Houseflippers or just in general

• 1 house per account
  Instanced Housing
  Rent
  Increasing apartment space
