PSO2: Creative Space - What fully instanced in FFXIV could possibly look like

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

I can't believe it took NGS almost 2 years to add new content

Calling NGS content rather than a Sonic overworld prototype is kinda rad tbh. Is extremely hit or miss to me.

If we wanted instanced housing, we would be playing other games. We play FFXIV because it has neighborhoods. No one cares about instanced housing in FFXIV.

This is another type of "You think you do, but you dont", people want instanced housing, but for them to enjoy it, ward housing would have to be removed too, so it's useless on its own, and they sure as hell arent going to remove everyone's house because people are too stubborn and refuse to move to Dynamis.

So people will keep trying to make it harder and harder for people to keep up and maintain a house, find excuses for houses to be demo'd, find excuses for people to be banned so their house demo's, instead of simply moving to Dynamis.

Can't even move to Dynamis for a no-competition large so that's still not an option. Literally the only option, like thousands of us keep saying, is to add more wards dynamically without the "all the wards are not full" borked mindset that SE has. All larges fill --> new ward --> all larges fill --> new ward --> repeat until large demand is satiated; it's the biggest housing bottleneck complaint. Even in Oceania where 90% of most wards are completely empty, almost every single large is taken and every tier 1 large is actually taken. There straight up is not enough larges and I wonder how many of us are holding houses other people could use because we just want to upgrade.

Makes me wonder how someone "who only plays for housing" didn't think of transferring to Dynamis day 1 to secure an easy large.

A lot of people got mansions with no competition.

Easy, I didn't know Dynamis was launching. Auto demo was off so I stopped paying attention for a while. Hard to pay attention to a game 100% when the content you want to enjoy is gated behind RNG. I am 100% looking forward to the next 4 servers though!

I couldn't care less about neighborhoods lol

Let me correct that for you.

If I wanted instanced housing, I would be playing other games. I play FFXIV because it has neighborhoods. I don't care about instanced housing in FFXIV.

We (meaning the collective player base) play FFXIV for a variety of different reasons, and those reasons are different for every player. Some don't even care about housing at all and yet they still play the game because there is other content they do enjoy.

I know you've said that you only play for the housing, and that's fine but not everyone agrees with your take.

No one here is trying to take your neighborhoods away from you. It is not an "either/or" situation. What some of us feel that the neighborhoods have not worked out in practice and that an improved instanced housing system above and beyond what apartments offer would be an improvement. There's even more interest in better controls for item placement and decorating in general.

That's how I feel about it as well. The houses that can be seen are what matter, and the bigger they are the better. Now that everyone can have one things are great.

Square isn't going to invest in a new instanced housing system to solve a problem only NA people have. They've just added a new district and new wards, implemented a new lottery system and added more servers which contain more houses. Every step of the way they've shown this is the housing system they've chosen and are willing to expand. It is sufficient once the critical amount of wards has been reached.

I'm sure all those house-owners that only have retainer bells and teleport crystals totally agree with you. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) ~ʱªʱªʱª
