(Large Housing Problem) 177 Bids on One House

[Solowing]

Given how often the subject of how people are frustrated with housing i am willing to expect that the amount of people who would be interested in housing alternatives might not be so miniscule. People just don’t care enough about housing to say anything at all, or are just not aware that they can ask for something different, or that there are alternatives at all.



I really don’t expect the dynamic wards to be the resolution to those problems you’d expect. Unless what you expect is endless strings of empty lavender beds wards, with only large 29 or whatever that popular spot is. Or people getting bullied into claiming unwanted spots just so a new ward can open, for others to claim better places. Not to mention the processing power it would require to have such dynamically allocated memory would be most likely very hard to achieve.


If devs were so satisfied with this system they would not give us apartments to get the most basic experience of housing. Or they would not give us island sanctuary outdoor furnishing so we can use those without at least a small house. Or they would not have to turn off the auto demo every time some disaster struck. Besides if we would take
“devs made it this way so we should accept it as it is” we would still be stuck on 1.0 gameplay rules. No system was sacred before so why does this one must stay as it is? People are not so satisfied and while I do not consider housing that big of a deal for many, it can be part of a larger sum of little nitpics that would make people leave.


And if you want to fight dozens of people for a spot and be at the mercy of RNG just to land next to a gingerbread house surrounded with namazu effieges then be my guest. I am not asking for wards to be removed. Just an alternative

just remember, the community got the lottery system it asked for. It accounted for those who dont have the time to play every day and its completely fair, and noone has a leg up on anyone regardless of playtime.

Wanting the game to account for everybody reduced their own chances of winning and made getting a house take longer. An unexpected byproduct of people expecting competition for their plot of choice was gonna remain at 3-5 hardcore dedicated and not 15-30 players vying for the same plot.

And given how Island Sanctuary has complaints about being isolated and away from everyone. Do players think Instanced Housing is gonna be different? Itll likely be friend-list restricted, so players interested in venus wont touch it. Most players wont touch it after its done due to its limited accessibility moreso isolating them from the rest of the community.
