(Large Housing Problem) 177 Bids on One House

[Veritas-Ancora]

I think the housing mirage is a fair compromise; it keeps the ward feel and some sense of exclusivity to housing while encouraging players to bid on something then just med or large.

I agree with this. I think the mirage system would greatly benefit our community.

As the other have said, mansions are made to be exclusive atm but that could change in the future, especially once PS4 support is dropped in 8.0 and allow major changes to occur such as smalls and mediums being able to be upgraded to a mansion (speculating at this point). For now, the best chance to win a mansion is to try during ward expansions or when new worlds open such as the four remaining worlds of Dynamis is opened once XBOX players join next Spring. For now, you just have to keep trying and hope you win, I won my current plot in Shiro back in May, so it's possible to win out of many people.

You don't need to drop support for that to happen. They could build a instances housing system that utilizes a workshop to upgrade side of their instanced plot/house.

SE has shown time and time again that devoting resources to multiple projects results in half-baked ideas. Almost all of us don't want instanced housing; housing mirage is the happy fix for everyone who wants a larger house and the neighborhood experience. As said before, thousands of other games already have instanced housing; there's a reason we all love housing in this game and it is because it is a very rare housing system. If you want to support instanced housing, go play one of the thousands of other MMOs with instanced housing and stop trying to divert resources from a system we want further developed.

Citation needed. I see far more support for instanced housing than ward housing, especially since most of the instanced housing supporters believe there is room for both systems.

There is no neighborhood experience with the current ward system. You can't preserve what doesn't exist.

Why deny others what they want when it would take away nothing from you?

Yeah I need to see citation from that person too. Probably the ones they cite are the multi fc owners who only have the fcs for subs lol or to sell for absurd amounts of gil.

Citation as I don't think you talking for the whole of the game. A large portion would love instanced housing. Why you think everyone was excited for island sanctuary. They all thought it was a chance at finally having a house of their own

And all of us who love this game for housing already knew that wouldn't happen. Anyone hoping it was an alternate system to housing was on some serious copium.

Take ya own advice. I see way more support for instanced housing in the community then more wards. People knows what happens when more wards are added.

A huge example of housing issue is dynamis. We got xbox being added and lord forbid any of them are on dynamis. They have zero shot at any plot cause so many made alts to snatch up housing

Except we already have instanced housing. Apartments exist. Your house interior exists.

It would not be a stretch for SE to expand on it. The wards could still exist so you would still have what you want. A better instanced housing system would exist so others could have what they want.

Again, why be so petty when you would lose nothing other than the ability to go "ha ha I have a house and those people don't"? You could easily change it to "ha ha I have a ward house and those people don't", not that they would care that you have one nor that they don't.

Whoa, who spit in your Cheerios this morning?

Unhappy that I disagreed with you in a different thread?

Welcome to the adult world, where people have differing opinions. Perhaps you should get off the forums if you can't handle that.

There are plenty of available plots on Dynamis. True that mediums and larges are hard but there are lots of available smalls. The Xbox players there shouldn't have any problem getting a house once they meet purchase requirements.

I feel sorrier for those who chose to set up their accounts on the other NA data centers. They're going to have a much more difficult time getting a house if they want one.
