PSA/ALERT: Houses are getting demolished when they shouldn't. SE needs to see this!

[Cylla]

Or better yet, finally accept the housing system they have is silly and embrace instanced housing for all players as a permanent purchase. You know, a thought sprinkled with some seasoning of reason.

This so much ^ but we all know SE not going to back down on their "community like feel" :rolls eyes:

If things are that bad in Europe or California (all I know is what I see on the international news and it's tough to judge just based on that) I would suggest petitioning SE to halt the timer. It's what the players did when those hurricanes were wrecking the Gulf and I think that is by far the largest reason they got the timer paused. Like I said, it's hard to get an idea how bad things really are when they are happening in other countries. It could be that SE is aware that something is going on, but not grasp the magnitude of the impact it is having on the playerbase.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease, and all that.

So do we in Europe but isnt the wildfires really bad this year?

They're really bad almost every year. Not as bad as last year yet, but close.

On a personal level, almost had to evacuate last year. Evacuation zone was just right across the street. Just had to put up with heavy smoke in the air this year.

Check out our yearly statistics. So much burning.

So has anyone who has a house checked your demolition timer lately?

Where exactly do you see them in game?

[Mysteltain]

Huh, this would explain why entering my personal house yesterday gave me the "Auto-Demolition Canceled" message yesterday. I had been in my house at least two weeks prior, so it was rather strange to see that.

Where exactly do you see them in game?

Timers Tab ( which is CRTL + U for me on keyboard ). Check under Estate - if a timer is going, it shows up there. If the timer is supposedly reset, nothing will show in that tab besides airships and company projects ( for FC houses ).

It would really be nice to have a moderator get word to us from SE or at least escalate the issue for their notice. Let's try not waiting 3 months to fix an issue that could have lasting ramifications and get more Kotaku articles written, yeah?

I logged in and checked my timers, no demolition timer appears, which is normal if you're like me and use your house daily. Very concerning.

It will show up in the timers menu under the estate tab. It won't show until you're at risk of losing the plot.

It won't show until you're at risk of losing the plot.

Ah, that explains it. Thank you~

Thank you for the clarification on that. Always thought there was a timer regardless of it being close to demo or not.
