Housing Let Down

[Veritas-Ancora]

I'm just so effing tired of this. Housing was my #1 want/need in this PLL.

Forum moderators, I hope you pass along this to Yoshi P. We are peed off already, don't delay it further!!

they are refocusing their staff for mobile version of the game. Like they say they wont but already even Yoshi P is working on other games while we get less and less updates. 7.3 sounds like what? 3h of content. Things is they need to hire more staff but why would they? its making a ton of cash so if anything they just using same staff to work on other games.

With how long the patch cycles are now, it sucks having to wait for the next big patch again. I know there's gonna be other content to enjoy but I have been looking forward to redecorating with more space.

they should just demolish all existing houses in the game and force everyone into apartments

I also think, that NA Dcs just got thousands of free plots due to demolition timer being active again. Same will happen to EU soon (we already have thousands of free plots across the dc tho)

[PharisHanasaki]

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!

I mean, would that really impact the number of subscriptions?
Aren't houses the most finite resource in this game? That's the whole reason this is not a priority, never has been and never will.

I guess the Medium and Large ones are, no one really cares about the small ones much at all... at least on the newer EU servers.

With all due respect, you have no idea what you are saying. Mobile is developed in China by Lightspeed Studios. The original proof of concept was created by said studio and presented to Square Enix, who then greenlit it and provided updated graphical update assets ahead of time to Lightspeed so that they could launch the game faster. Square Enix's and Yoshi P's involvement with the mobile game is simply marketing it to a global audience; when the time comes, and cashing the check from all the microtransactions. Otherwise Lightspeed studios are the developer and publisher for the game.

Incompetent studio with a lack of professionalism for multiple years now. I dont know what I was expecting

[Themarvin]

Insanely disappointed in it, also the lack of content to do, that gets worse and worse.

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.

THE PAIN. Yeah. The entire live letter just to be brushed off at the end. It was only brought up b/c people were spamming the chat too. They'd completely ignore it otherwise! I agree that they totally could of given us a reason. I'd be more empathetic if there was a reason. At least give us a single slide that says "We're working on it!" I'm still mad the ice trays got more attention than a long requested feature.
