Lost my Large house in Empyreum. Super, SUPER bummed...

[Reinha]

Of course I'm speaking from experience. Of all the people I know, only one idles at their house regularly - but that's because they have a mansion and like hosting a lot of people from their circle of friends, organizing events for us, even. Everyone else furnishes their house and then chooses a different hangout spot where they have actually people who they can interact with in /say. Might be their FC house, might be a bench in a capital.

Retainer business can be done at your house, or anywhere else. The problem is that anywhere else also offers services you will have to eventually leave not your house, but the whole residential quarter for. And if your hosue is in shirogane and Empyreum, you can't even use the aethernet to quickly get into a capital for stuff like GC turn-ins. The game just does nothing to make owning a personal house compelling from a gameplay standpoint; it's just a vanity item.

Everyone plays in their own way. Your friends who are Limsa regulars don't represent all players and you really aren't in a position to tell me how I'm going to interact with housing when I currently have a personal house and had several in the past 7 years.

Housing has social, creative and vanity uses and while more interactive furnishings would be nice, housing doesn't need any more game play features than it already has. The people who don't have a reason for owning a house will eventually lose it and make room for someone who might use it more. Every time there is a thread like this, I know auto-demo fulfilled its purpose.

I'm just surprised the counter carries over from one plot to another. If I had bet on this I would have lost.

With how island sanctuary starting to allow you to add housing items to your island, I kinda neglected my large and "kinda" don't mind if it's gone...

[Absurdity]

Only outdoor items last time I checked and since outdoors doesn't have the same glitches available for designing the look it will still be more restricted than an actual house. Granted those glitches should ideally just be a normal placement feature anyway.

Lol @ all of the "auto-demolition is good, actually" takes in here. Yeeees, yeeeees, keep simping for the horrible housing system and its artificial scarcity. Someone taking a month off Saint FFXIV's treadmill to touch some grass should be punished I say, punished

:eyeroll:

There's a difference between "the system is good" and "given that we have this system, auto-demolition is a good aspect of it".

But we actually have to if were going to be still having this system where plots are limited. So we have to care that some houses get demo'd to allow others who want one that opportunity.


This doesnt change that the current system is crap anyway. Nobody is trying to argue that this system is actually good. Please use your brain more my dude

You need to enter the house and interact with something inside it. Not just hang out. Summon a retainer. If you entered ran around inside for a bit and left it may not have counted. Sorry you lost the house, that sucks.

My dude looks like he jumped out of the Matrix

Do people never check their spam folder? Yahoo mail is also awful at sometimes putting legit e-mails and filtered messages into the spam folder.

Imagine using yahoo mail in 2023 to begin with.

Maybe this will come off mean, but. I don't really have much sympathy for a house owner if they don't even use the house, it should be demoed and let go to someone who would use it.

This isn't true. You simply have to enter the house and the timer will reset. If you use your house, this will never be an issue.
