Ello!
This video was outdated before it was even released, lol
Try again happy. Part 3 is up lol
Did anyone honestly think the housing lottery was going to go to plan? I figured it would be a shitshow and got a shitshow. Expectations met.
Third update just went up, seems they are close to giving houses in the 0 cases to the right people.
I lost normally. My FC had 5 bids on a house and were the only ones bidding, and we got the zero in this đ
I know this was going to have bugs
6 wards for players was a giant insult
Well I was about to relocate from lavender to ishgard and after seeing the houses interior, I'm gonna stay in lavender bed's.
Ishgard interior is like the mist, bad
Iâm gonna be honest I had no idea this was going on because my FC got a mansion and I wasnât involved in the process. So I thought housing things were going great lol
In programming, arrays have a quite common start of Index 0(Zero) is the first entry in the array, a classic miss is that we people tend to start at 1.
So if there was just one and the random winner in Index 0, but the Winning announcement program was start looking at 1, it will say no bidders/winners
Wait⊠if 0 is the beginning number, n-1 will be the last. However the system use 1 to n to store who enters the lottery. Meaning the last player will NEVER win the lottery.
they jumped on the housing feedback real quick. which is nice. though i wonder how long they are going to pretend that the official forums in some of the biggest backlash across all regions is out in regards to Samurai.
Housing died so PVP could live
I lost the coin flip to get my small plot in ish guard and every day I go check it to see if the dude I lost it too has claimed the plot. So far they have not. And if they don't and I lost it to them….
Come for the housing drama, stay for the lovely cat
I have a bug too. The game says my lottery result was 6 intead of 4 which is the winning number. It should be 4 so I can win.
people like you is why the game going to shit and we get this problems. stop being passive and start being real. you helop no one by this . join the demand to SE to start doing good job or just don't say any thing.
Very good take MrHappy, very good take to remind people how to behave. It's frustrating yes, they made a mistake, apologized and investigating it thoroughly. Toxic behaviour..against the devs is just crazy.
#dialitback should be on most Reddit posts for this game.
There are advantages based on timing because we can see the number of participants. Many people waited for the last few hrs to bid on plots with the lowest number of participants.
I'm glad I was never into housing, its very funny seeing people fighting over houses
"The means by which gil may be collected from those who have already received a gil refund prior to learning that they have won the lottery is under consideration."
So I might have won the lottery even though I still collected my refund. They need to collect that gil, but I don't see how they can get it after the fix.
I simply have no interest in housing. To me, Raubahn extreme was more egregious than this bug
We went around our district the night before the lottery ended and the bids seemed oddly low. We got a medium and it actually worked. Our current theory is that the problem is related to the brief maintenance downtime right before the end of the lottery period. The downtime could have altered/reformatted the listings of bidders in the database or broken something somewhere else. They likely tested the lottery system internally but wouldn't have taken the maintenance bounce into account.
SE word salad sans the zesty dressing is distasteful indeed đ Thanks, Happy
Lost Ark: "Here's an entire Island. Have fun!"
Warframe: "Here's a spaceship and functionally infinite Space Station, with the ability to create full-scale Mechs and Space Dragons. Have fun!"
FFXIV: "Sorry we can't give you even the most minimal version of Housing without constantly f**king it up and causing anger throughout the community".
so if i have two characters on the same account and one owns a house the second cannot enter the lottery for a house? what about the people who own mulitple houses with multiple characters on teh same account? I know someone with eight characters on the same account with eight different fcs and eight diff private homes.
im just here to see all you miserable homeless people đ
I do wonder, what is the true solution of this issue?
FC mate noticed something and had an interesting theory. He mentioned how SE said the bid cycles would adjust around Maint times. And we did have a hotfix maint on Thursday night. So he thinks that this might have fucked all the bids that came before that maint. We had a backup plot we were keeping an eye on, and it had 0 bidders right up until Friday night. That house was successfully purchased Saturday morning. Which corroborates the theory, but who really knows.
Did Square Enix mess up? Yes
Do players have the right to be mad? Also yes.
Does that mean they should write threats to Square? No, not at all. Please be reasonable, everybody can make mistakes.
This is a complex system for sure, it checks your account owning and who get what. The only issue now is that Sanctuary Island need to have instanced housing on it or ppl will get more over by the fact that you canât own a house. Though keeping neighborhood is still a good deal but instanced housing still a better solution for it. The only problem I think housing shouldnât be included with gardening or anything that make housing a requirement to enjoy the game.
Ppl will find every reason to get the instanced housing but I donât think it has any value if you donât even use it. Apartment is small but it work in the way as something like an inn for you to stay in. The fact that FFXIV has the biggest housing system with the biggest housing problem is something that quite interesting when you think about how the demand work in this game compare to a lot of other MMOs. Itâs just basically its own game rather than the opposite.
Also reading Reddits and official forums somehow might just bring down the entire game down in the way how ppl are mad but also too much grim dark that you canât really handle them all. That back to saying the devs donât read feedback etc.
Dude you were talking out of your ass trying to defend SQ saying itâs not a bug etc. Try understanding situations before white knighting
