Please more housing wards soon. And no more FC/Private Hybrid.

[Yuniko]

Got another of the same plot open next round. I am forcing myself to wait until at least day 3 of bidding. I know it’s all RNG but being early hasn’t worked out for me so far! lol

Yeah, it's the same for me, i got another M i wanna try for, i'll just wait til last day of bidding. CBA with early bid lol.

[Sourcy]

Another loss here as well.

I fully expect to have been trying and failing for 9 years come July. It's inexcusable how a base feature of the game is just made unavailable for such a large percentage of players on larger servers. There should at least be as many plots as their are level 90's. We don't even have HALF that.

Yup.

And just wait and see, and we'll have someone come in and Bash us, for not transfering to the new Data center, or that we need to suck it up <..>

I mean at this point, i hope to see either instanced, or a COMPLETE housing rework.

No wonder competitions so hot.


I've been trying for a Medium/Large for a while and I accept that I'm on a high pop server and competitions rough.

Oh yeah, i've done the same my self. I kinda just accepted it.

It's why i just try to be as positive and friendly to others as i can <3

There's enough hate in this world already so, time to spread a little happiness!

Housing is instanced already, Apts (and yes, you dont consider them a house, but it is HOUSING, S.E never promised anyone a house)

Also youre thinking righteously but not critically. Anyone with a house will be reoccurring revenue on pretty much a monthly basis.

Most housers will pop up as a MaU. But all housers show up show up on the QaU and if not they are here talking about how they lost their house. To no sympathy from other players no less.

They have no reason to change the system when it keeps you paying, where a instanced house cant do that unless they put needless demolish restrictions on it to keep you logging back in (not going to happen, bad pr)

People thought the lotto system was going to be their easy ticket to housing. When all it did was stack the odds against them because now they have to wait for potentially other people to bid over a bidding period on the same house.

Gone are the days of walking up to a house and buying it. Its not first come first serve anymore. And the players here on this forum asked for it to be that way.

Sure you dont have to click a placard for 12 hours, but you still cant get a house because youre bidding against 13 others, and the more players want the house the less chance you have of getting it.

And one is a totally different housing experience from the other, indoor/outdoor, multiple floors, etc. It’s about the difference between a studio apartment and a 2-bedroom house. And as already stated, you can have both, plus an FC room. Why should anyone be satisfied with less access when they’re paying the same sub?

I have no idea what MaU or QaU stand for.

The auto-demolish is mostly needed because beyond the lack of supply, the wards are permanently loaded, so there needs to be a way to empty out the spaces no longer in use. Whether it’s because someone simply isn’t using it, or they just quit the game. With instanced, you don’t have that problem. If it’s not in use, it’s neither using any server resources other than stored data, and it’s not taking a potential home away from anyone else.

Don’t count me in that number… I never asked for this. In fact, I didn’t start posting here at all til recently. Because both systems have their own flaws. And if I’m being honest, I liked the old system better. Because if you’re someone who plays regularly like I do, all you had to do was wait til the content slowed down before the major patches, and you could walk right up and buy. No placard clicking, the timers were long since expired because most people were taking a break until new content released. I’ve been in every lotto since about Oct./Nov. and lost every single one.

But the root cause of it all is the lack of supply. There is a way for everyone to have what they want. And I’m here to campaign for that. Apparently it worked for the people who wanted the lotto. Which don’t get me wrong, is “better” than watching/clicking a placard for hours on end. But it still sucks in its own ways.

Yes +1 to more wards

There are no mediums left & I've finally saved enough for one

I have no idea what MaU or QaU stand for.

MAU - monthly active users
QAU - quarterly active users
DAU - daily active users (just in case someone starts throwing that one around as well)

They're metrics used by mobile and free to play games to impress investors with the potential for revenue. The more players that are logging in, the more microtransaction purchases are likely to be made.

The problem is they really don't mean anything to games that are primarily monetized through subscriptions. Subscription totals are more meaningful than active users. Someone can be paying a subscription without being an active user.

For FFXIV, the extended free trial players aren't useful as metrics since they can't make purchases from the game store. YoshiP has said that the vast majority of free trial users that go on to subscribe to the game do so in their first month of play so by the time MAU/QAU might be counted, the player has already switched to subscription.

How many players are actually tied to their subscription only because of a house and not for other reasons? Only SE knows. Considering they don't seem to hesitate to suspend demolition when some major disaster impacting a large region occurs would indicate that either the number is very small or keeping players tied to a subscription via a house is not their goal contrary to what some players claim.

The game would not belly flop financially if instanced housing were introduced.
