Do you want instanced housing?

[Bunnycake]

I already own a plot but fudge I would love to have that for the other players.

I'm still wondering why some people want the neighbourhood when it's nothing but a sham.

Anyway, even if they do implement instanced housing, it took way too long for me to give a damn about it. Also i doubt i could do the hilariously absurd fallout 3 raider style decorations, so meh. That was a hoot!

As title says, do you want instanced housing?

(instanced housing)

As someone that has played a mmo owning 8 Strongholds and a Flag warship utilizing instance housing, its extremely important to implement instance housing in such a way that does not negatively effect the socio-communal aspect of FFxiv. In this mmo all the planets were deserted and everyone was isolated in their own homes. If Instance housing was to be implemented it must address the Socio - communal aspect first and for most.

What i notice they are doing right now is opening up Data centers in populated regions to allow for many more Housing Wards and Worlds.
I personally believe they should even open up more data centers like 5 to account for the SA players that use the NA Region Data Centers..

Yes the neighborhood is a lie and anybody saying otherwise is being obtuse

[Listrella]

sure if it'll shut people up about housing.

Give us what we want and we'll go away. It's really that simple. Until then...deal.

^ This poster is an Optimist. "What we want" varies player by player. Come up with a static list of "what we want" and start advocating for that, rather than handwaving and mumbling "yada yada instanced housing yada yada". There is already "instanced housing", it just isn't what players who use that term mean when they say it.

Most of the longer folks here have done just that.

Also as language is descriptive system and not a prescriptive system, whatever meaning instanced housing might have ascribed the most exceptionally common throughput is that the system meets the demands the user presses upon it (the whole purpose of having an instanced system, with lag reduction). Which clearly FFXIV doesn't do even with apartments, I would therefore argue under the community usage of the word it's not really (may say it's borked, but the obvious answer then is to unbork it not say mission accomplished).

"We have an instanced system".. Player: "does it work?"
"Not really..." Player: "Well I want instanced housing then".

Obtuse forum member: "We have the system! You just don't like it!" (Not saying you said this, since at least you recognize what we have is NOT what players want- but I've seen this before).

Kay...

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'll just be wasting time. As to the "what we want" bit, I was referring to those asking for this sort of thing, not everyone. Either way yeah, I've been advocating for something that has proven to be way more effective elsewhere, and I will continue to advocate for it. I'm also done repeating myself. I will let common sense take the wheel from here. I have also gone into detail about exactly what I mean in more than a few threads. Many times in said threads. You can argue semantics all you like, but I'd like to think that some of you people actually understand what I and others are talking about, and some are just being petty. Not you specifically, just in general. No "gotcha" moments to be had here, sorry.

No, but I would welcome it. Whatever.
More fun for more people = better.
