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

[Hamada]

If that were the case, then you still just broke a rule by posting what a GM said even in text no matter if you did star out their name.
But what Luna said, you can block out their name on the screen shot and post it.

I don't believe a GM/Dev team looking into this at all. No word on the lodestone, nothing said on reddit by the one GM who was looking into the matter on one of the threads, and not a word here on OF.

I do not want to, with what I seen here on what GM's moderate drove me paranoid.

For people worried about this, my girlfriend had an idea and here is me doing it for my house



Since you see me in my house, you can see the time and date I was in, so if this ever happens to me in the next 45 days here is absolute proof i was in here. we have a goal to do this every month for our houses

Kind of makes me question the validity of the issue. One would think if it’s legit the first thing SE would have done upon confirming the bug’s existence would be to shut off the auto demo function until they could fix it

I questioned it at first also, but when more and more people started reporting it, didn't seem like a troll. I'm not so worked up about it anymore either. I logged out last night but I did take a screen shot with proof that I was in my house with the windows date/time overlay on my game screen just in case. All I can say is, this happened right after maintenance was done and it possible SE screwed up something. It could be because of the JP auto timer being frozen to. Or this could just be a massive trolling just to stir up the community. Lack of proof, lack of poof of what GM's are saying, etc isn't helping to believe there an actual problem. SE isn't well known for being on top of things but here it is already 11:36 am, a day since this thread was opened and reddit threads. If they haven't found a bug yet, then there isn't one or the dev team really slow at finding these problems.

At this point all I can say to home owners is be on top of your game. Check your house(s) everyday and interact with it. Have a screen shot for proof (not that seems to do any good in the end but hey). There not much more can do.

Problem for me is I can’t do anything when my ps4 is two states away

I'm still firmly skeptical of this whole thing. I've yet to see any solid evidence; a screenshot of a GM admitting it was on their end or a mod post stating they are aware of the issue, etc.

Frankly, the scattered reports of people claiming this happened to them amount to little more than "Yeah, me too!" and I'm afraid that just doesn't carry much weight with me. Mostly because over the years I've seen a lot of people claim "I lost my house for no reason!" when, come to find out, they just didn't understand the complicated inner workings of the housing system. It almost always boils down to some combination of them not keeping correct track of the days, them thinking that teleporting to the yard was sufficient to reset the timer, or them not receiving the demo notice email/it going to the spam folder (an actual, well documented bug that I wish SE would devote some resources to correcting.)

I feel that, if this really was all started by some troll(s), he/she/they are taking advantage of the confusion of these unfortunate players who, instead of posting that they lost their house and don't understand why, they are seeing reports of this supposed bug and are latching on to it, feeding into the general state of panic.

While I could be wrong, something I freely admit with the limited information we have so far received, I'm going to remain skeptical until either we get an official response or the reports are too widespread to be mere coincidence/confusion. Until then, I plan to keep an eye on the issue, but have no intention of losing sleep over it.

[Kyu-Momo]

This is... very worrying. I really hope they look into this and fix it.

Made a tweet, not expecting a response https://twitter.com/RinKiroro/status...94995803500544

But I'm with you, I'm also very skeptic due to the lack of proof or GM conversations. It just a rumor now and "YEAH ME TOO!"

[Theodric]

There's been people win trading in ranked PvP across multiple seasons without any official acknowledgement of the issue. It's fine to be skeptical, though let's not pretend as if there isn't a track record of major issues going without a timely response.

Don't just cough about Ungarmax. Bang pots and pans together about it - we don't need this issue ( potential or not ) going on for 3 months or more before there's an actual investigation into it.

There have been examples in the german forum too so if this is not legit than this is quite the big joke. Also someone told me that the bug with the email (not receiving it even if the timer is nearly done) was dismissed by SE but is still there even today. (I was a "victim" of it too)
