Housing demolition timer need to be changed! Sitting on your property needs to count.

[Vidu]

Indeed they do. I am waiting to hear on this post from the DEV's why not? what would it take? How much time? Let's get it done!

Why though? Why waste dev-time on - any amount of time - when we have a system in place that already achieves something similar at very, very little cost for the playerbase? If you can enter your yard, you can go that little step further and enter your house. Takes 30 seconds max, which seems a very, very reasonable effort to me.
I dare say that it doesnt matter how much dev-time would be needed to change this because its a change that isnt needed. The benefit to the (educated) player is so, so minimal that it really doesnt seem worth the effort to me...

Better warning-system with a pop-up message - sure, that should be easy enough. And if said message even clearly states that you need to step inside your house - why not do that? Why create a new system when we have a working one? (And yes, the system is working for everyone who plays by those rules. Rules that are totally reasonable, specially when applied to someone whos able to pay a sub, log in, teleport to their house and hang out in their yard. Going that little step further and click that door once in 45 days is such a minor inconvenience to the player that I'm not even sure I'd call it an inconvenience...)

I agree that the timer isn't visible or annoying enough. They can stick a UI bit on the screen that asks you if you want to teleport but not one to remind you about your house? Ehh. Not a problem for me as I enter my house and FC house daily, but I still find it shocking that the timer is stuck on a tab I'd never seen before.

100% agreed! Thank you !-_-!

If you want to present a decent argument, don’t use clickbaity titles. Simple.



Okay, then I stand corrected if this is true (I don’t own either of these, nor do I feel like going out of my way to confirm this). However, my argument of just go into your house still stands. Just go into your house. If you aren’t going into it, you aren’t actually using it. So let someone else who will actually go into the house once every 45 days use it. You still have your FC house, which you stated that you used for everything anyways. Stick with it and let this thread die—it’s not a very well-worded or well thought out suggestion thread.

You’ll also be waiting a long time for a developer response. They rarely respond directly to threads on NA forums.

I find statements like these troubling. Its like you are saying he isnt useing his house when clearly... He was. He made the outside look the way he wanted and goes there to relax, that is in no way NOT useing the house... Just not useing it in a way you would. Maybe he has no interest in crafting or setting up the crafting stations in house or maybe he dosent have the air ship or sub. To be frank, there really isnt much to go into the house outside of those things. Hell, i hate the fact that you cant que for a dungeon and spawn back in your house afterwards, maybe he hates that as well and just chills outside his home. People use their house for many diffrent reasons and peoplr shouldnt judge him for how he uses it by saying things like "well you arent useing it right and someone else would appreciate it more" essentially.

But someone who wanted a house in order to use the inside of it, would be using and appreciating it more...

What they need then, is gardens, separate form houses.

That's a bit of an oxymoron there. If he was using the house, he would not have been subjected to the demolition timer.

thus the post OXYMORON, change can come. !-_-!

Sitting on the lawn isn't interacting with the house, thus it cannot contribute to resetting the timer. It isn't a question of whether the OP is using their house currently but that they couldn't be bothered to step inside it once in 45 days. There is a very simple solution to this issue.

It's really not about me. It's about US! thus the post! Everyone likes to play blame game is all ok with me. It's about improvements at the end of the day. Also, i have already stated why i did not enter. Read full post. Beach BUM FTW HAPS !-_-!

He was using the yard—not the house itself, which is what is required to actively keep a plot in this game. He checked retainers, interacted with the Armoire, and did anything else one could do in a house in his FC house—not the personal one he lost. If he just wanted a yard to loiter about in, there are plenty of those to go around. But you can’t argue that using the yard = using the house because it’s not actually making use of the house itself. And that’s what the game requires of housing owners: to use the estate proper. Not its yard.

I honestly find it troubling that people defend this type of complaining. At some point, the OP needs to accept personal responsibility for failing to meet the conditions set forth by the game to keep their plot. It doesn’t seem like they are wanting to do that, but instead blame a system that plenty of others seem to keep up with and work within just fine.


For the record, my personal house doesn’t use crafting stations or any of the like—and I’m notoriously bad for keeping up with airships, so a friend does that in my FC. I go into my personal house for retainers and to just listen to music on the orchestrion while I’m idle, talking to friends, or waiting for my queue to pop. Sometimes I do idle in my yard—but I at least take the time to enter my estate every day, unlike what has happened here.
