Can we get an in-game notice for Auto-demolition

[Jojoya]

Thanks for info! Must be why Mao never sees this. Mao logs in almost daily.

It's not logging in that resets the timer. It's entering the house that resets it. I imagine you're entering almost every day if not every day so the timer never reaches 30 days without entry.

Probably the easiest way for someone to keep on top of their timer is to log out at their house. Log in, pop inside to check retainers or see if gear needs repair, and you're set. Even if someone can't play daily, they would be unlikely to miss resetting the timer on those days they are playing.

My house has 11 days left for auto demo... I saw it in the timers tab ingame and I was counting the date at which the auto demo would take place. But I've NEVER got an e-mail from SE about 'you have 15 days left'...

(and no, I'm not going in my house, going to let it auto demo... not gonna get rid of the house and lose all my money (in the real world, if you sell a house, you won't get nothing either), in stead I let it auto demo and get back the 80% payment.)

I checked my timers too and two of my houses were being prepped for auto-demo in 12 days. I never received an email. Thank goodness for Excel.

Same problem here actually despite following my excel, I entered it on the 08/07 and it cancelled the auto demo and somehow I have a 11 days timer, bit weird

Honestly I'd like an auto-demo pop-up in-game just for peace of mind. The number of times we've had threads pop up about people that have actually entered their houses within the 45 day timer and didn't trigger a reset has left me a bit paranoid. I'd also like the option to enable the timer to always show up in the timers menu so I can see the reset happening before the 30 day mark.

Somewhat ironic this has been brought current. Yesterday I was checking my alt's timers and saw that a house she is tenant in had 13 days before demolition. Got a text message to the owner about it. He logs in about a half hour later going "This shouldn't have happened. I went into the house the day before my vacation started [about 2 weeks ago] to make certain the timer was reset." I did confirm on my alt's timers that it got reset after he went in last night.

The first email doesn't go out until 10 days left. The in-game notice in Estate timers is what appears at 15 days left.

That's the same day my friend started his vacation (he went into his house on the 7th).

I think this might be a good time to start a bug report if we've got multiple people coming forward about the same problem that can trace last house entry to roughly the same date. I'll check with my friend to see if he's willing to start one or add to one if someone else gets it started.

I know there's a thing in the timers menu (which almost nobody actually checks)

I made the mistake of buying 999 dark matter from my (former) house's junkmonger that essentially got rid of my need to go inside for the time being as I've only been raid-logging recently and have my character parked in Limsa so my house got auto-demolished.
...

i find it odd that you would park in limsa instead of just taking the 3 extra seconds it takes to tp to your house, go inside and log out.
besides that point, if you weren't using it. then there's no need to have it. is there?


do i think an ingame timer is needed? ....eh -shrug- i suppose. couldn't hurt, however i'm pretty sure there's already one in the game for the purpose of a 2 week notice. (can anyone correct me if i'm wrong on that?) But then again, if you're logging in as much as even you "weekly", you should be able to just go to your home once a week if you're that touchy about losing it due to its inactive use. Email notification is more than sufficient imo. I check ALL my emails regularly. Those who dont, clearly dont care enough about the management of their games, and the assets held within those games, to check them on a regular basis.

This really sounds more like a "i forgot i had a house, and now i want it back, so i can forget i have one again." type of post.

I think I’ve changed my mind on this… at first I was like, if you’re using your house, you should be fine. But then I hear people saying they were just in it 2 weeks prior and they were on a demo timer and it makes me paranoid too, every though I am literally in my house every single day. I check my retainers at my bell inside right after I log in, and I log out from inside the house every time. It’s just part of my daily routine.

It shouldn’t be that hard a thing… they added a pop-up when you log in on lotto results day to remind you to check your bid.

My weekly reset day routine is: check my timers, go inside my personal house, get a Khloe book, do the turn in at Doman enclave. I've never had a demolition warning or an email on my current house.
