Another housing delay, imagine that.

[Krotoan]

Troll post. Move on, there's really nothing worthwhile in that subject.

if I didn't post in troll threads I would have nothing to post in.



and to OP:

Yes just imagine that, a possibly worldwide affecting conflict that's locking two countries into a bitter war and impacting economies across the globe being a concern large enough to warrant a video game pausing house demolition. IMAGINE.. then maybe you won't post things like this.

[Atelier-Bagur]

They released a new announcement on that portion of the forums, due to the situation in Ukraine they're stopping housing demolition until further notice.

Oh theyre actually doing that for real? Thats good news, we just had a thread recently talking about that due to current events

Devastator Devastate!!!

Staggering lack of empathy towards the people of Ukraine

Staggering lack of reading comprehension (they're just stopping demolition; not delaying housing release in 6.1)

Staggering lack of understanding regarding the chip shortage

Staggering lack of understanding how much infrastructure/costs go into housing in its current form, and why you can't just magic houses into existence for every single player

For a troll post, it's not even fun to read.

0/5, would not recommend.

They said, covering their eyes with their hands when every other game that spawned before, during, and after the release of XIV managed to do it.

Not to vindicate OP's post, but fuck I'm tired of hearing this drum being banged. "Come play XIV! Housing is a feature! HAHA, PSYCHE. SORRY. INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS. FOR EIGHT YEARS!"

They were gone for three years. I don't know any FC's that are still active, have the same people, or haven't been taken over by asshats that pushed the normal people into leaving.

Their complaint there is still ridiculous, but this isn't the part of it to focus on.

He said semesters, not years. I just get a slight insight-tickle in these threads about losing housing as, historically, the people who scream the loudest were the ones holding onto shell FCs for property.

Besides, being gone a year and a half is more than enough to cut your losses.

You can't even call it a dinosaur system because it had been done better before 14 even came out. If I ever get into a position like OP, and lose it all, eh I have invested way more into my collection of housing on ESO to care. Rotating upsidedown horse lamps > the devs constantly releasing items that don't make sense (the spiral staircase that is functionally useless, etc).

It's not that they can't do it, it's that it would come at a huge cost that is not recoverable. Like, they can spend the resources developing a significant chunk of expansion pack, sell that, and recoup losses. Housing districts are pure profit loss.

Should they be looking into more budget versions like instanced housing? Yes. At the cost of an expansion? No.

...We need housing...

It pales to the death in Ukraine, but it's also what the people along the Eastern Seaboard of Australia are also saying right now.



Sorry OP, your burning need for a pixel house means nothing when events like Ukraine, and Australia, and others are happening.

[Aelin_Ashryver]

I do think it is pretty bad that housing was an advertised feature that was part of what made me pick up the game and when I found out how scarce it is I was unimpressed. It's a feature that VERY few actually get to enjoy and I really wish they would invest more into it to allow everyone one house each.

But the obvious reason they paused demo is to not kick people when they are down. Sorry it is frustrating but it is having compassion for people.
