Housing

[crystal8827958]

I really wish there was a change to the housing situation. The apartments are okay but not really a solution. I was thinking it would be neat if they added a new zone for housing and make it sort of like a town, what I mean is a zone that can expand with the demand for plots or shrink if needed. I think it would also be neat if there was options for having a shop or a shop with a loft on top. A lot of other games have found lasting solutions for housing I just wish this game would come up with something. Maybe if we keep asking maybe they might consider it.

I really wish people would understand that they should keep asking in one thread instead of creating new ones every other day - I know, I know, everyone just wants to speak their mind, but to keep asking by creating 100 of tiny threads isnt helping. Past evidence has shown that the devs are way more likely to notice (and consider) threads with a lot of posts and likes instead of a lot of small threads.

So... if you want to "help" and if you dont believe that they're already trying to work something out in regards to housing (just maybe not at the pace you'd like, because other things take priority) stop making thos threads and focus your efforts into one big one. Without wanting to sound mean: chances are your suggestion or your propose solution has been made 10 times already and isnt original enough to warrant a new thread that dies after a week and wont get noticed.

So many threads all basically complaining about the same thing, honestly there's little point in actually having conversations in these redundant threads anymore.

Yet you took the time to reply anyway...

Clearly we are engaging in conversation about housing right now.

Let's say you have a house but you feel like you need a break from the game for 5 months cuz you've played for years and very heavily.

Well you don't to lose that house.

So in order to have you're plot destroying you can't cancel/suspend game subscription for too long before you have to log in again.

SE definitely knows this. It keeps ppl subscribing so that they can log regularly enough to make sure they don't lose their house. I just resent it and housing demolition because they kinda have us trapped. And especially now with the game's popularity having increase, they should provide even more housing.

I support their "stay active or lose your house" philosophy. If you're not using it, then yes, it should free up for someone else to use.

Yeah but do you see how it benefits them so much and just because they are to lazy and cheap to design a housing system that provides enough housing to everyone. And they really fucked up on Stormblood when more housing was released. Everyone who logged on when the servers came up well if you were fortunate to be a lower number in the queue you could go grab your house whereas those high in the queue couldn't get any housing. People being forced into a flat list when so many were logging on at the same time just condemned some people to not get a house simply because of the logon queue. Not everyone could get in simultanously.

Welcome to the real world.

On the same side of the coin, Mateus seems to have 1-2 houses go up every couple of days, so if someone is after one, the opportunities are there. I do think the way the timer works should be redone, but I do not know how to make it more effective and fair.
