Please fix or remove housing!

[Dustytome]

I like housing. Just wish they would reimburse at least half of the cost of the lot upon losing it back to the owner. .

You get 80% of what you initially paid for the plot back if your plot is auto-demolished, however you only have 35 days after the plot has been demolished to reclaim that (as well any any non-destructible furnishings).

Dude I'm on Sarg as well and I managed to get myself a house. So did all of my friends.

Without purchasing from anyone.

Watch the Ward Lists.

My friends transferred from Cactuar a few months ago and checked the Goblet every night. Guess what? They got a house.

I got up piss early before an 8 hour shift of manual labor to get my house when the new wards dropped. I put in the effort and I got the reward. I'm on shitty 6mb/s DSL internet and I did it.

They're not going to fall into your lap. You have to check. You have to wait. We're a high pop server and it happens.

Took me ages to get mine. Took my friends ages, and many repeated checks to get theirs.


A lot of people are super complacent and just don't check, so plots aren't ~instantly~ snatched up like you imagine. The auto demolish is working. Plots open up, even on our server. I have personally seen it happen so many times.

When my friends got theirs, 4 other houses were also open in the Goblet at the time as well. This was fairly recent.

Be vigilant and you'll be rewarded. Whining will get you nothing.

Also on Sargatanas and snagged a small house in Mist yesterday (and had an anxious 30 seconds as I had to relinquish the previous small house in the goblet and teleport to new house before anyone else got it!). Old house was bought by someone within 2 minutes (although to be fair I did broadcast it's availableness on the Novice Network).

They're definitely available, but not without some effort/checking!

Sure plots are available sometimes, that's very true. What the OP is trying to say is however, it should be possible for every player to get a house easily..not having to wait or stalk the ward list just to try and ninja one the moment it demos.

I have always said that SE should have and still should re-do housing as instance based. Why? Because it's simple..and it's resource friendly. Take a look at Black Desert Online. EVERY place you can have a house is instanced. Multiple people have the same house in the same spot--you open a menu when you click the door to the list of players who have bought that house and you can visit them (a lot like private rooms/apartment rooms). You can own up to 5 residences in that game..now that isn't really necessary here but my point is any player no matter the server can have a house of their own. Will everybody see your cool yard? maybe not..but you can have a yard.

I fully support the idea of instanced personal housing. I think it'd be cool if FCs still kept the wards. Also I think that if everything was merged to one ward, it'd be cool if u could set whose house you see when you run around it or if it set to "last house visited" so you see the houses in the ward belonging to players that you have visited or even simply interacted with.

If that was the case I would agree with him/her. But this isn't the case they think everyone who hasn't got a house should get first chance at all available houses. When people have had no choice but grab what ever is available. End of the day if I upgrade my old plot is free.

I agree with this personal houses should of never been on the wards. They should of been more expensive like SE promised when personal houses were released after FC housing.

The main difference between an apartment and a house is a yard, pretty much. So that idea does not work. If you don't care about the yard, get an apartment.

Communism doesn't work lol, and the idea of "If I can't have it no one should!!" is both childish and entitled.

Lets take away dev time to parse chat logs for house sellers for the people who were to lazy to buy their own house. WE NEED TO GO BACK TO 1 DUNGEON PER PATCH FOR THIS!

[OliviaJ]

Just for giggles I checked and it seems someone got their FC a house.

[Maquiame]

Thing is housing needs to be fixed period. I'd have no issue transferring from Balmung to Mateus to be able to buy a house as there are plenty there but I shouldn't lose my money in the transfer, also I'm a roleplayer and if I transferred to another server I'm pretty much assed out in finding a rp community on a server like Mateus.

On the hour every hour check those crystals, never give up!
