Housing Let Down

[Teige]

This mornings live letter left much to be desired. Housing...

"Increased number of placed items or the interior upgrades, we're almost done but we need a bit more time, sorry"

That's it. That's all they said. They've been promising that for close to 2 years now. In half that timespan, Guild Wars 2 introduced a housing system, increased the slot count, and is releasing ANOTHER new "housing ward." World of Warcraft is about to do the same thing.

I'd like to see a but more transparency when it comes to this topic from the dev team. A roadmap on updates perhaps.

Agree, annoying to have such an important part of the game be so poorly supported for so long. I've been waiting for years. My houses have been sat waiting on this upgrade for so long now it's not fkn funny.

[Teige]

You're so right!! It's disappointing!! It's not like we can just take a break from the game until it's updated. The house GOES AWAY!! We're stuck.

The devs really should take some time and at least update us on where they are with the update!!

I'm glad they're spending time working on adding Wuk Lamat voices to Mahjong and redesigning Cutter's Cry for NPCs to play instead of improving the housing system. It's good to know CBU3 have their priorities in order! /s

Biggest disappointment of the whole LL honestly. Don’t tell us details are coming in this LL and then not explain what you’re doing and WHY you need more time. This is almost word for word what they said when they pushed it from 7.2 to 7.3!

[Teige]

TBH if they add a voice line for Wuk that's just "Spheeeeeeeeeeeeene!" when you loose. I'm totally OK with getting shafted for the 315th time.

Cutter's Cry with NPCs. Great... Wooooot...

I feel like they could of AT LEAST given us crumbs. Anything. Any specifics that we could latch onto for hope. BUT nothing!! Just a handwave "We've working on it. 'Really'."

[Teige]

YOU SO RIGHT!!

We all heard it!! It's what got us through 7.2!! We knew we were getting SOME info for 7.3. But we're once again getting NOTHING. I feel it's appropriate for us to be rather annoyed with their lack of transparency and lack of preparedness!! Waiting to tell us they had nothing at the end of the live letter; salt in the wound.

And as housing players are unlikely to unsubscribe in protest and therefore risk to loose their houses, they can delay this housing update indefinitely! Smart!

The catch 22 T_T

They're going to tell us to be patient. Like they have been for the last TWO years. UGH.

It was, the LL started at 4 AM local for me but I sat and watched the entire stream and while there were many neat things shown, it was a huge let down at the end when they couldn't show us at least a progress report, show us something that it's being worked on. SE needs to give more of the profits to the FFXIV team to hire more developers so they can have teams working on housing that wouldn't affect the teams working on content and such.
