Personal Housing Complaint Thread

[Fizzie]

Personally, I want affordable housing, in actual housing districts (not related to FCs), with race related housing (by which I mean sizing).

None of those things are here and I've given up hope that they ever will be.

BEST TROLL PATCH EVER hehe. This is even better than the atma adjustment patch. SE is really on a roll for troll patches hehe.

I'm also confused... given that they've just copy/pasted FC housing, but limited it to one character ownership; why have they only added two wards? o.O

While I can understand some people's outrage at how personal housing is Implemented, I find myself not too overly disappointed by it. While having your own personal house is great, only reason I bother getting one for their convenience of having several utilities of the game all being centrally located. In the case of this game that would retainers, market board, armoire, cut-scene book, vendor, mender, and various other aspects of the game. We already have several of these available to our FC houses, with plans to make more available. As long as I get my central hub I'll be happy.

To everyone out there though that were hoping to get your own slice of the game, I do sympathize with you. There are not nearly enough plots in each ward to justify having FCs and individuals compete for land. Best of luck to all of you on getting the personal housing you wanted.

Even if I wasn't on a legacy server I wouldn't have enough. For a small house. Super disappointing. I guess I'll try to save up enough to buy one when 2.4 hits. Hopefully they don't mess it up even worse.

Can't afford a house.. apparently... mmm Legacy server ... but I was looking forward to new scenery when I could afford one.. after all... If they can make new scenery in La Noscea and keep upgrading Revenants' Toll.. how hard can it be to make a ward? All they really needed to do was move a few things around from the FC wards and bam! looks new to me!

They made new Fate monsters for Dragon Quest.. new pets new gear.. but new Terrian assets are too hard?

What really worries me is Yoshi's post on doubling the current wards in 4.0, and the current ones being limited due to servers.. the 0.3 movement thing was due to server issues too iirc.. exactly how bargin basement are the servers they have? Did they plan on expanding servers for the new instances of wards or not? Did they plan for increased server load at all? How many of the planned updates or ideas are being held back by these "servers issues"???

Let me start by saying that I have zero interest in personal housing, I don't care for it, but SE made a mistake when they went with this design choice.

All they had to do was to make it instanced like a Mog House from FFXI, with maybe a 1 bird stable (Make the bird peek in through the window?) and sold flower pots as furniture, and you can invite people in your party into the room. and they should have just made this available at every city, and the housing area via a gate of some sort. (And maybe made this free like in XI. You start with with one, but something like 500k is fine too.)

That would have gave people a personal house of sorts, and left FCs with the current house design.

But they chose the worst and most lazy path and nobody is happy. Somebody go fetch Tanaka.

This seething, soul crushing disappointment seems refreshingly unanimous...

I guess I just don't understand implementing a feature knowing it would upset such a large portion of the community. It's like they want their fanbases' ire.

[Xzaral]

Throwing in my agreement that this implementation of personal housing is entirely inadequate. Two new wards simply isn't enough by itself for the release of personal housing. Even doubling it isn't sufficient ot meet the needs of some servers.

Plus by implementing it as is now they close the door on possibly going with instanced personal housing without upsetting those who have already purchased personal housing.
