Why stage's lamp limited only 2 per estate?

[Knot_D]

I can't put more stage's lamp because it's only 2 lamps per estate... Is there any reason for this? Spaghetti codes?

[LaylaTsarra]

It's frankly pretty annoying you can't put more than two. I don't think it's a code issue probably something they never got around to changing. Weren't aquariums limited to one per estate at one time? Now you can put a lot of them.

Playstation 3 would go bananas is anymore than 2... its old code that need to be cleaned up alongside with a serious upgrade of items that can be placed inside a house.

Yeah, this is it.

It's a light source, so shadows and stuff.

We are quite hampered in a bunch of stuff due to the legacy of Sony consoles.

They have upped furniture and vendor limits multiple times since PS3 support has been discontinued. Go back and read through the Stormblood era patch notes. Many, many things have been improved and increased since PS3 support ended.

It's not just a light source, but there are also particle effects - dust motes/smoke in the lightbeam. Lower end systems (coughps3cough) would hit a processing limit pretty quick if there were no limitation on how many of these types of furnishings could be set up.

Isn't that also applied on the fake windows? Granted those are time based, but you can use unlimited amount of them...

EDIT:
Example:

Not sure why everyone keeps bringing up PS3 when PS3 support was dropped 5 years ago. And 32-bit Windows support was dropped 3 years ago.

Is it an oversight? Possibly. Other than aquariums, I don't think they've revisited any of the specific item placement limits for housing.

Could it be intentional design limitation for reasons other than technical? Possibly. It's not like the Indirect lighting items are the only ones with limits.

Seems like it would be a good question to pose the next time they take questions for a Live Letter Q&A.

Not quite to the same extent as on stage lights. The sunbeams on fake window-type furnishings only move in relation to the current sun position, but stage lights have several layers of constant-on particle effect animations visible within the beam of illumination.

I think the indirect lighting items were introduced while those technical limitations were still a factor - I agree that maybe it's time to revisit said restrictions, but there are certainly other issues (like the housing supply problem itself) that might warrant priority work.
