Private houses Twintania and spriggan

[Kogekigami]

mm looking back yeah its so long ago i honestly can't remember clearly i remembering my fc at the time having a small on the beach front we use to all sit on the same bed and chat it was lovely.

But yeah i have hopes that this hinted ishgardian housing might break the mold and be instance but me and my in game partner are saving up hoping for a mansion. But im not gonna be too upset if we don't have the perfect spot.

I was lucky to get the 28 medium in shirogane and i love it. perfer it to the 60/30 one.

I do feel like maybe making multi sized apartments might help with the housing situation.

The private housing should have never been a thing - or been instanced. It just leads to dead neighborhoods without people and that's boring.

One or two weeks for FCs would be enough... under the condition that housing was released after reasonable amount of time. It was released early, the road to 70 buff hasn't even ended yet. Try to earn the money in two months and half while leveling, not to mention without any in-game knowledge. This release schedule is quite harsh for sprouts even if the FCs get priority. It may suck for the people who transferred, but imagine how much work under the sever schedule had the new players manage to actually buy the plots. The money is easy to make once you get to certain point in-game, but you need time to get there.

I like how you have an entire post as a sig.. like really...?

The Nidhogg extreme pug groups were quite harsh at the time... people wanted to be carried instead of practicing it based on their skill progression and that slowed the progression down for the other party members. As such the effectiveness of PF was quite low in comparison to what it could had been and that lead to frustration instead of joy and thus the signature got created.

Sorry for the offopic.

Personally it took me month and half to save up 41M for second grade large in Mist from scratch. But I had experience, legion of retainers and sacrificed the MSQ progression in favor of making gil (still stuck in ARR lol).

Honestly, I think that they should make personal housing instanced (allow improvements to apartments, make them have up to 3 floors, have an area where you can put outdoor furnishings through a door at the back of the ground floor)... then move all personal houses possessions to the caretaker (including the full price of the plot, plus house, and an extra 1m - or however much you get for free transferring), and allow you to put it into an apartment. Make apartments personal only, and houses FC only. Sure, you'll still have shell FCs, but stringentness of that could also be introduced (thinking of RuneScape and their Clan Citadels, different levels of citadel required different levels of member activity in the area), scaling according to the size of the house. Maybe keep it at 4 for a small, going up to maybe 256 for a large? and maybe 32 for a medium? This is unique members visiting the house by the way.

And before anyone claims "Oh it's because you never got a personal house"... had a personal on both Louisoix (which I gave up to be with my at the time partner), and another on Omega which I gave up when I moved to Twintania. They improve apartments to allow outdoor gardening, and I won't need a house.

As I've said elsewhere, this (in my mind) above is literally the only solution to the housing problem. I believe the more tech-savvy players have already said that the burden on servers to simply load up an instanced location (similar to inn and squadron rooms) is next to nothing, whereas entire zones needing to forever be active and glorified graveyards for the sake of vanity is a strain. With this suggestion, it is probably possible for them to finally allow us to have glamour dressers here in the same way we have them in inn's and squadron barracks.

There could also even be an apartment workshop, where everyone can contribute materials (each person has a max contribution per day/craft) and people in the apartment block get rewarded depending on their contribution (tada, a community project).

Also, allow spouses access to their partners apartment, essentially a tenant but predetermined by marriage.

This would free up actual housing for FC's.

Biggest problem we have is, how can they implement this when there are so many personal houses, would they force people to move to apartments (that would be quite chaotic I imagine)? Would they just not allow personal housing in future and if someone loses their house, only FC's can claim it?

To remove shell FC's, or at least limit them, they should implement a rent system whereby FC credits are spent. Small house = 10k credits, medium house = 35k credits, large house = 70k credits. (examples, don't bite me)

It's a bit of a tangent to the point of the thread, but like every other housing thread, it has descended into chaos and irrelevancy so eh, why not touch on some ideas (which I'm not sure has been said anywhere else)

Is there a housing megathread anywhere?

Yes there is
