FC Housing, the next generation

[Abelfei]

This statement is even more ridiculous than that stupid lottery suggestion. Well done.

It really is. Add more, other than that it's only bad if you don't have one. Most want to casually play and expect a house. The market has shown that if you cant handle putting in an incredible amount of time and effort, you shouldn't be looking for a house. It's on par with the real world. Housing is sought after, and is fueling the game on every server. Square knows this, and asks for forgiveness after because its easier. This housing problem is blown way out of proportion, mainly by casual subscribers who do not want to earn a house and by people just blaming the fact that they wern't as good as other players within the context of Shirogane Extreme. Housing is fine, there's just way better, way smarter, way richer players out there that are going to get them, because they want them more. That will never change no matter what details you change.

I think the housing system is bloody terrible and I got my house last year.

Don't assume everyone who thinks it's bad is just some poor sod without a house. I didn't magically become okay with such a broken system when I happened to get something good out of it.

But in my experiences , 95% of people that I talk to, which is alot about this, are people that arent even qualified to buy a house, yet complain religiously, so yes I have the right to say that, cause it's not an assumption if I have alot of experience to back it up. I didn't magically become unokay with the system when bad stuff happened to me either like Shirogane. Some won, some lost, andeveryone in the world knew it would be that way. The forums were painted with " I hope im lucky enough to get a house in Shiro", but when they didn't get one all of sudden they were prisoners of the moment.

You can edit your post to get past the absurd character limit. I would love something like this, but if they can't handle expanding a ward system beyond 30 plots, I'm not sure how they'd handle a town with enough plots for over 500 fc members.

Thank you for the nice tip!

And to everyone else thank you for the feedback!

I do admit that it may be very stressful on the servers but possibly this can be initially started as without FC members their personal housing and to be added in a later patch.

And this isn't to "replace" normal housing, the one that we know with wards and everything will still be there, but lets not say that the current way housing works is "fine", because it really isn't for FC's. I have my own personal large house but even so I would like to see a solution for FC housing because the inability to have an airship locks them out of grouped content.

To go back on topic though, I wasn't aware that 1.0 had these neat features Pastahnak, they could surely be complementing this type of housing quite well and contribute a slice of realism to it!

Secondly, this isn't mandatory housing mind, its merely side content which FC's could undertake and keep themselves occupied with!

I really appreciate all your feedback, please keep it comming!

Yeah the hell with the lottery system.
I propose we have our high & mighty lord Abelfei to be the one to distribute housing if he finds the people worthy. It makes sense to go this route, he knows better than everybody else.
