Housing Interior Size Upgrade

[MayuAmakura]

So when they release a bad update with just 50 slots increase and say "It's done", people will again blame this on: "well it was just bad translation excuse n#".

Here's the fan translation of Yoshida's explanation:



tl;dr: It's taking a while because it's a difficult technical hurdle to roll out both the Tardis interior and the item expansion without the server exploding.

They said 1.5 twice… so am I correct in assuming that means at least an extra hundred? For small, 200 x 1.5 = 300. For large, 400 x 1.5 = 600. But then medium, 300 x 1.5 = 450, which would seem kinda odd in comparison to the other two… I’m bad at math, so if I’m not processing this right, feel free to correct me.

Someone had asked him at an event, and he told them they were looking to double the current limits, so I guess we’ll find out for sure in 7.5. Bummed it’s delayed again, but I’ll have new glam to play with in the meantime now that restrictions are finally getting unlocked!

Correct. 1.5x is 50% more than we have right now.


I wonder if this includes Apartments and Free Company chambers also or just proper houses.



300 / 30 for Small.

450 / 45 for Medium.

600 / 60 for Large.



I can understand the reasons for delay though.


Also the news that the "Housing Interior upgrade" system is complete code wise and just needs the server side optimizations to happen is good to hear too.

The Tardis interior update will make it so theoretically all 792,000 plots in the game could be a large at once. They have to calculate and make hardware adjustments for that potentiality, so it makes the most sense to just include the item expansion in that math and roll it all out at once.

I love decorating and I'm bummed out about it as well but I can see why wards going from six larges to sixty, with presumably double the number of items in each one, could take a while to get sorted on the backend. Hopefully the wait means they also have some other housing goodies in store for that patch that they haven't revealed yet.

792,000 x 600 = 475,200,000.


That's the theoretical maximum amount of items thats stored within the game if everyone went large and the increase was 1.5x.


But yeah, not everyone's gonna want to upgrade to large, some of my friends own a small and have already said they'll probably go up to a Medium at best.


Me, I have a Medium already and I want to go large. I already have a design in mind too.

Thank you for providing that context. I suddenly feel a LOT better about all of this. We were way overdue for a real explanation, and apology, and this is one I can accept. I'm also very glad to hear that this server optimization will also help us get a glamour overhaul and more plates and other QoL improvements. As much as I wish they'd explained this back in like 7.1 or 7.2, I'm happy to finally get the REAL reason this has been such an issue all expansion and I very much look forward to my item increase!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I read that as 1.5 times the number we have now. Meaning twice the current number and then half that again (example: 100+100 = 200 (1x the current number for apts.), add 50 (half of 100), for a total of 250 (1.5x the current number). So we'd get numbers like:

Apartment - 100 currently, 250 after upgrade. No outside slots.
Small - 200 currently, 550 after upgrade. 50 outside slots.
Medium - 300 currently, 750 after upgrade. 75 outside slots.
Large - 400 currently, 1,000 after upgrade. 100 outside slots.

If I'm right, those aren't numbers to sneeze at, at all!

We have a base item limit for each size, that is the "1" aka 100%.

The .5 means an extra half of the base value.


It's a 50% increase, not 150%.


Take the current limits and multiply by 1.5 and you will have the new limits.

That's not how the math works. 100 × 1= 100, not 200.

1.5x is 50% more (150% of the original value).

200 x 1.5 = 300
300 x 1.5 = 450
400 x 1.5 = 600

Just seems odd that they’d go that route, because if you look at each individually, smalls are getting an extra 100, mediums 150 and larges 200. Which is proportional I guess, but I can already see some wondering why they didn’t use a more rounded number, like 100, 200, and 300. (Other than, of course, higher number breaks game lol)

As a small enthusiast, I’m thrilled with the extra 100 though! As far as I know, they’ve never confirmed that this is going to apply to outdoors as well; in the past they’ve always been very careful to say “interior” or “inside your house.” But if it does, an extra 10 outdoor slots for smalls would be great too!

The fan translation someone else posted does mention both indoor and outdoor so I assume both get the same treatment, but I agree that the numbers they're talking about seem incredibly underwhelming for the amount of feet dragging and drama.

[Yodada]

Even 600 slots for an L are still embarrassing..

[Shistar]

What I really, really want is to do away with the interior size = specific item limit restriction. It's basically forcing everyone to move into larges if they want the most slots, which is a waste of the other house layouts.


I don't want to move to a large, because then I'd spend tons of slots hand-crafting a layout to mimic my medium's. Aren't they all the same instance, in the end? They just change the space we can physically inhabit, but the item limit restriction feels useless considering we can choose any layout we want at any time (theoretically, since it's not released yet. But let's go with that theory that there's no limit to changing your interior's layout)
