Housing salt

[NaesakiAshwell]

I got smashed out of getting the medium house I was hoping to get due to the launcher taking ages to load, the launch button also taking ages to actually do anything and then by the time I got in the queue it booted me out and had to jump back in twice.

I'm thankful I was able to go for the backup small plot and even then I just narrowly beat someone else to it by a few seconds so I feel awful for cheating them out of it, its so damn disappointing this current system. I feel absolutely awful because my boyfriend would have loved to for us to get a medium house but now I feel like a complete failure even though it was all beyond my control :/. I feel for everyone who got cheated out of a house today due to pretty much all issues present, SE seriously needs to fix this and bring in instanced housing for everyone. They've long since run out of viable excuses as to why they can't do it.

I was looking forward to tonight
Looks like it's never gonna happen when the supply/demand ratios are completely off.
On the bright side, at least I won't be chained by the 45 days once that's back up I guess.

Tbh, I did expect something like this to happen, but wasn't planning on getting a house in shirogane anyways.

I wasn't planning on getting a Shirogane house, I expected to see plots all over the old wards to free up for me to snap up. I LIKE the Goblet, but NONE did, the demand for homes is too high.

So, now I'm waffling between taking my apartment to a new ward with actual neighnors or keeping my roots.

Welcome to The Salty Saltoon how salty are ya?

Did this cheer you up?

Tell me - do you have trouble seeing through such rose-tinted glasses?

It’s not. It’s exactly what I did. It was 3AM. I wasn’t going to make decisions on the house at that hour. I could barely keep my eyes open. I woke up in the middle of the night on Black Tuesday only to buy the thing. I’ll wrap it in the morning.

This morning, before work, I chose the estate, put in the chocobo stable, aetheryte and garden. Got some of the basics going.

They should just add Sudoku puzzle to all Placard.
Let the smartest one wins.

What's really odd is that the release of Shirogane was delayed until patch 4.1 for it to basically be an event where you woke up at 3 AM, prayed the queue was kind to you, wish misfortune upon others (i.e. getting stuck in longer queues, forgetting their gil, etc.), and bum-rush housing plot after housing plot in hopes of getting that placard before someone else. I'll admit, I participated in this grand event because people said it would be the only way to get a house in Shirogane. However, I didn't actually "believe" them when they said it was going to turn out the way it did. I thought they were exaggerating. Well, I was wrong. It happened just the way people said. The plots were gone within minutes. I still have a bad headache from it all. They might as well have just released it at the release of Stormblood and forced people to be level 70 to purchase. At least then it would have been a real race instead of this fiasco.
