Housing demolition

[Garet]

There is a bug where sometimes the game doesn't register that you have entered your house unless you interact with something inside of it. It's something that has been getting reported for a while and been viewed with skepticism by part of the player base but it does exist. I had my own experience with it earlier this year.

A friend has one of my alts as tenant in his house. I had noticed the demo notice in her timers and let him know.

"But I was just in my house yesterday".

He went back in his house again. We both still had the demolition notice in our timers.

He logged off his character, logged back in, went into his house and this time interacted with his Summoning Bell as I suggested. Finally the demolition message cleared.

All I can say is that it's best to make sure you enter your house every time you log in and interact with something in the house, and also to check your Estate timers on a regular basis (I tend to check my timers every Monday to make sure I got all my weekly stuff done on my characters and it's easy to check Estate at the same time). The notification will show up in timers 14 days before demolition while the emails don't get sent out until 10 days before demolition.

As for the something better for housing, they need to stop pouring resources into the ward system and start expanding on the instanced system. There is no need for demolition with instanced housing (why apartments don't demo). The ward system has created far too many headaches with no real benefit (doesn't feel like I'm living in a neighborhood when I never see my neighbors).

Sadly it is because some players and FC buys house just for ego and the reason "because I can" but do not really use them or do stuff around them. Like the experience I mentioned above with the player who bought a house but will never decorate or use it but bought it because their FC leadership wanted to show server their FC owns a whole ward so told members to buy most of the plots on that particular plot in the Goblet. I entered a lot of housing to try to get tips on decor designs only to see a lot of them empty or only one furniture in a corner lol. We are lucky to have some neighbors around our FC house who are a bit active and chills in their housing so we do see life haha

Being passive agressive against people who disagree with you isn't a cute look.

It seems I started a war in this thread.

It’s just a pretty pointless post by you getting salty because you didn’t go inside your house once for 45 days, despite apparently playing every single day to raid.

What response were you expecting?

Who has a house and isn't hanging around it constantly? I don't think I leave my house and my fc house unless I need to gather or visit a specific vendor. Give me a glamour chest for housing and I'd be visiting main cities even less.

edit:

It always seems to be when the timer comes back up that these "demolition bug" threads pop up. Have yet to see a single official word on it actually existing..

I hope they do implement glam dresser in FC house / room / apartments soon. I find myself having to go to inn a lot for that haha

Feel free to correct me on this but I vaguely remember seeing somewhere that they're intentionally not implementing them in estates because it would make inns irrelevant. Basically trying to give us a reason to keep using them.

Thats actually not the reason.

They're worried that there might be issues with the data stored in the glam dresser when placed in a private estate. Basically the problem is that if two people interact with it at the same time, their data could end up being compromised - in order to avoid that problem, the glam dresser is only placed in places where only one person at a time can access that specific dresser (inns and the GC-barracks).

I'm always using the one in my squad room because I'm always in and out of there. 1 Lala left to get for a full Lala squad!

Which is weird because Summoning Bells work.

Makes sense! Thanks for the clarification. ^_^

Its actually not weird at all!
When you use a summoning bell, you dont open an inventory - you open a menu from which you select the inventory (aka your retainer) you want to access. The summoning bell is just a "gateway" to get to those multiple inventories, not the inventory itself. No one can access your retainers inventory at the same time as you do.

With the glamour dresser you get straight into the inventory, which is what could cause issues.
