Housing demolition

[Garet]

Who has a house and isn't hanging around it constantly? I don't think I leave my house and my fc house unless I need to gather or visit a specific vendor. Give me a glamour chest for housing and I'd be visiting main cities even less.

edit:

It always seems to be when the timer comes back up that these "demolition bug" threads pop up. Have yet to see a single official word on it actually existing..

I hope they do implement glam dresser in FC house / room / apartments soon. I find myself having to go to inn a lot for that haha

Feel free to correct me on this but I vaguely remember seeing somewhere that they're intentionally not implementing them in estates because it would make inns irrelevant. Basically trying to give us a reason to keep using them.

Thats actually not the reason.

They're worried that there might be issues with the data stored in the glam dresser when placed in a private estate. Basically the problem is that if two people interact with it at the same time, their data could end up being compromised - in order to avoid that problem, the glam dresser is only placed in places where only one person at a time can access that specific dresser (inns and the GC-barracks).

I'm always using the one in my squad room because I'm always in and out of there. 1 Lala left to get for a full Lala squad!

Which is weird because Summoning Bells work.

Its actually not weird at all!
When you use a summoning bell, you dont open an inventory - you open a menu from which you select the inventory (aka your retainer) you want to access. The summoning bell is just a "gateway" to get to those multiple inventories, not the inventory itself. No one can access your retainers inventory at the same time as you do.

With the glamour dresser you get straight into the inventory, which is what could cause issues.

Oh right it is the Armoire that sort of has that initial menu.

Yeah, I assume - and thats really just my assumption - that with the armoire they're a little less worried since most of the stuff people can place into it is tied to achievments and can be re-bought from the Calamity Salvager anyways. So if something where to happen to your armoire-inventory, it would be an easy fix (even a fix you could apply yourself by re-buying the items).

The glamour dresser on the other hand holds up to 400 individual items from all kinds of sources... in addition to that it stores more information about the item than the armoire, mainly the colour.

Ah this is interesting. Thanks for the knowledge

Most of the game doesn't take place in the housing wards so it's going to be the rare player that's hanging out at their house constantly. I'll go to my house a few times a day but I'm not hanging out there unless I'm on a crafting binge or redecorating.

When I can watch a friend walk into the house he owns on my alt who is a tenant in that house and the demo notice in timers does not get reset, it's safe to say the demo bug actually exists. As someone who never leaves their house, you're unlikely to encounter it.

The game doesn't consider items stored on your retainer as being part of your character inventory. They're considered part of the retainer inventory and you have sole access to remove them. Items placed/stored in housing work in a similar fashion except a tenant (if you have any) can also access those items. I imagine the chocobo saddlebag is the same way.

It's part of how they get around some of the inventory data issues.

Makes sense! Thanks for the clarification. ^_^
