Instanced Housing

[Brignadalee]

I had a look at Mediums since I'm getting close enough to consider getting one. Only to find that a single one has 80 participants. Getting a small is rough enough at my recently failed 20 participants, but it's clear there's still not enough houses to go around. It's not fair, and we really should just make the switch already. This new system isn't it.

To any who want to jump in and tell me it's not an issue, and to go play other games with better Housing. No you. That is all you will get from me, good day.

Laughing at the pre-emptive callout, but I don't think instanced housing is the answer. Lately, I've been more and more interested in the idea of housing wards with malleable plots. If any plot could accommodate a medium or large, much of the demand would be satisfied.

This would definitely solve the situation on less populated servers. I'm on Zodiark. All the mediums and larges are taken, a lot of the smalls are free because they're not worth it to a lot of people. Malleable housing plots would be really nice.

No you.

Go play any other game with instanced housing, FFXIV has ward housing.

You're welcome.

Good day.

Da ich in diesem Forum keine einfache Möglichkeit finden kann einen Thread zu posten (geschweige denn Antworten zu meinen Threads zu sehen), werde ich zukünftig meine Meinung als Kommentar unter eure Threads setzen und hoffen, dass sie jemand liest...sorry!!!

Hier mein heutiger Vorschlag: Wie wäre es (vielleicht in der nächsten Erweiterung) mit einem „Begleiter-Sammler“...also ein NPC der sich vorgenommen hat ALLE Begleiter zu bekommen. Ähnlich wie Khloe könnte er uns wöchentliche Aufgaben geben, bestimmte Begleiter bei ihm abzugeben. Hierfür bekommen wir dann (nicht handelbares) Zeug...eventuell Notenrollen, Kostüme oder andere einzigartige Begleiter, oder auch irgendwelche Ticket, die wir sammeln müssen, um eben Kostüme, Notenrollen...zu bekommen. Aktuell sind die Preise sowas von inflationär, dass es eigentlich gar keinen Sinn mehr macht, die zu farmen! Was soll ich sonst in FFIV machen?

English please? ; x ;

"Why don't the devs just do the thing they've made zero indication they have any interest in or technical capability of doing?!"

If you are looking for instance housing, honestly, go find other games
FF14 will stick to Ward system, whether you likes it or not

Yes!, those people need to go away as far as possible. Otherwise there might be enough people asking about it and devs might actually listen and implement housing system slightly better then begging RNG for 0.2% chance of getting a house bigger then just a small

I see those posts as suggestions to stop wasting one's own time complaining about a game that isn't going to change to one's liking.

There are apartments for people who just want to store holiday items and don't want to worry about auto-demolition. There are abundant small houses for people who think they are missing out on gardening. The devs just invested into a new district, additional wards and a lottery system for wards during this expansion, providing more M/L houses and a fair way to distribute them. They didn't do that for nothing. Housing works fine and it also keeps people subscribed.

It's a 10 year old game that had its peak in 2022 and is slowly going to fade out in the next decade. We will get new content but they are not going to tear down and reinvent major game systems. Why would they? Anyone who thinks the game is getting an instanced housing system is full of copium. If that's the only way someone is going to enjoy housing, there are other games out there to try. It doesn't mean one has to unsub from this game.

Wasting people's time posting here seems to be the entire point of these forums. Not like anyone from the devs is reading all that. Anyway it technically exists also for the sake of giving feedback, big or small, so it's here.

Anyway given how many threads we get for housing each month it is safe to assume that housing is not working as intended. It's a mistake of a system that takes too many resources and not enough for people's demands, and housing should never be implemented this way. Just because they added some band-aid solution until all houses that people actually want run out and we are back to square one. But yes, definitely it’s the fault of these spoiled gamers, who dare dream that if they managed to get 50 mil, they should have slightly higher chance for their wanted house then 0.1%

And it’s not the first time some systems and game modes got scrapped due to negative feedback and/or devs' decisions. The feast, original diadem, you can even count the entirety of 1.0 getting scraped. Or when they iterate on previous systems, such as Trust and duty support being upgraded and refined squadrons. So why couldn’t housing be improved?
