may 16th for housing fix?

[Mika_Zahard]

SE treats an expansion like creating a whole new game so even SE can develop games in 2 years.

It hasn't taken them that long to fix it because it's already fixed internally, what is taking this long is testing it. It doesn't matter how big your company is. Testing takes time.

You're wrong. Its NOT fixed yet. Why ? because the plots are still bugged out. it will be fixed when the proper results are published and the winners get their plot and can continue with the purchase. Guess what? That's not possible now cuz the "FIX" IS NOT DEPLOYED, hence the issue is NOT FIXED IN THE LIVE SERVERS.

lol I hadn't even taken this into account. Hey, that 30 days for them is looking great isn't it xD

Bravo SE. Now its 100*% guaranteed no leftover FC plots can be given to private players due your "sweet taking time" fixing.

I hope they decide to surprise us and add more personal wards on the 16th. The amount of personal plots aren’t enough. Even if there are some FC plots opened up for personal housing, it still won’t be enough.

We need instanced housing. Leave the current neighborhoods and from now on just add instanced versions of small, med, large houses in one ward. Then everyone gets a house with a yard if they want one.

I really wish they would give us some information on the island sanctuaries. I really want it to be a type of instanced housing with housing item storage, especially outdoor storage.

Well, well, well

It is not pushed back far, they clearly wrote what kind of measures is needed to do this, just accept it, any other gaming company would just pretend like nothign had happened stealth fixed it and then taken a crap on the playerbase.

Because they want to be 100% sure that the fixes and the correct lottery winners are pulled and displayed, and are testing that. Duplicating the bug that caused it, fixing it, and verifying no other bugs popped up came first before anything else.

The entire process is here. I would rather them have everything completely fixed, no more bugs, and working properly instead of them crapping out a half-fixed bug fix patch for more to pop up later and prevent more people from getting housing.

If they actually did the QA before release we wouldn't have had this issue to begin with

Having a solid date now is absolutely fine by me.

To be fair, they did QA before the change. Those employees gave their absolute best.

What they didn't do was have a test environment that sufficiently mirrored the public servers. That's a budget issue, and 100% on management.

They also cannibalized their QA environment for production expansion because severs were essentially unobtainum due to supply-chain issues.

while this is huge f..k up from them and honestly housing has been a cluster f..k from day 1 ... ( already a bad look for a bad system )

what makes ffxiv a solid mmo is when these issues arise they dont half arse fix it they test and test to make sure they fix the issue right !!

would you rather the system to be implemented again and have it have the same issues for the sake of i want it now ..

so just chill if it takes longer to fix that usually means it will be fixed right !!

I've seen no indication of that in any letters, notes or otherwise. Considering the only recent capacity issue was with the lobby servers, and there was no time between that 9001/2002 and it's solution to dismantle a QA system, ship the servers to NA, EU and JP DCs, physically install the servers, certify them, load software and integrate, and test the solution.

There have however been two mentions in Yoshida-san's notes that the QA environment wasn't a mirror.

I'm going to go with; they didn't bother to set up a proper test system from the start.

Can I come back to you if there's either a new (gamebreaking) or similar bug regarding housing after their alleged fixes?
