The damage output is astounding Similar success on my end, in terms of damage and kills anyway (I will never leave bronze). The melee combo is a killer and the aoe silence also does a good chunk of damage, too. Plus, you get to look fancy while doing it.

Galaga Galaxian posted:gently caress the housing barons. Strip their houses. I don't care if they have multiple characters, or accounts. They need to get rid of the submarines. My friend has about 15 houses worth of submarines and they each generate about 200k of passive income per day in maintenance mode. Because of the new tier of items they currently generate a lot more because they can bring back new items that have a huge markup. That in itself is a huge incentive that they need to get rid of. Then they need to make houses have an upkeep cost. If you don't then all these shell FC houses are just going to sit around doing nothing because there's no reason to get rid of them.

I think that, instead,, they should simply,,, make you choose one personal estate and delete all the others But I'm dumb so please explain to me why that wouldn't work, I guess

Yeah, that's all fine if you only have one house. It's only a problem because they were grandfathered in with multiple.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:I mean you could...also limit those? I think they should, but i wasn't sure if there was a legitimate reason someone would want to have two FCs such as leading a guild such as RPing or something? It also doesn't remove the incentive for each person to have 1 private FC on an alt which collectively eats into the limited supply. You say it would be removing content but it is basically retainer missions or WoW garrison tables where you press a button and then come back later to collect the loot. Given there's a housing shortage i don't see the reason that permission to generate passive income should be tied to owning a house. Even if they got rid of all the loopholes preventing people from owning multiple, there would still be real FCs that wouldn't be able to get a house. Onean posted:Right, but I was mostly responding to CJ, who said they aren't limited now. From my understanding, the loophole is that you buy the house on one account, then you leave the FC so ownership transfers to the account with multiple FCs.

The other option would be to open subs to private ownership including for apartments or whatever other forms housing it can be tied to in the future (same for gardens). They already gave up on FC crafts actually involving multiple people. Just sell ceruleum for some other currency and you're set.

That is another option, but keep in mind that they are capable of generating 200k gil per day from vendor trash. WoW garrison tables used to generate gold like that but they removed it because it was causing massive inflation. In FF14 they removed coffee biscuit turnins for the same reason. I don't think the system could survive opening them up to one per character.

Taking away peoples' houses feels like something FF14 would never do. I think the ideal solution might be just developing a whole new type of housing district, one that isn't loaded into the game world 24/7. And freeze the old housing districts - no more housing items compatible with the old districts will be added, empty house plots will remain unpurchaseable, and you can't buy into the neo-housing districts while holding onto any of the old ones. Gradually condense the old wards as people transfer over to the new neighborhoods. Of course every single part of that depends on developing some technology that permits any player that wants a house to get a house, and they just added Ishgard housing so fundamental reworks are obviously not currently planned. /still a somewhat bitter hobosaint

I don't think the system could survive opening them up to one per character. Opening up submarine and airship exploration to everyone would at least cause prices for a lot of materials to drop if everyone could conceivably get them, even if it'd take awhile for private owners to catch up. They could also just reduce the resale value of the vendor trash if it was really that much of a problem. I only played with airships and subs very briefly so I'm not 100% familiar with what you can get from them, aside from just learning about the stone to make the indoor fountain item that currently costs like 9 million gil for one, but it's new and rare.

BaronVanAwesome posted:I had a house but didn't have a sub for a while and now it's gone This is also what I did. I thought 'this was relatively cheap and there are still plenty of open houses so I don't need to spend IRL money just to keep logged into a game I'm not playing very much just for a house.' But that was in the Before Times, before the game got really really popular. Also yes forcibly remove houses from people who have too many.

Lol if you don’t buy your sub in 6-month increments.   (Look I’m just the type of person who wants fewer, bigger payments than more, smaller ones when I sub to something.)

 Winstreaked on RDM from Diamond 4 to Diamond 1-3, three more games got me Crystal Not gonna lie, I got carried by an absolutely fearless Samurai who simply dove in and got everyone to pile up for my Resolution and Frazzle for like three games straight though My W/L ratio was just under 55% but I'm calculating that by adding my casual wins into my ranked wins and dividing by my total number of games (which I used the "participate in x crystalline conflict matches" achievement to track)

I mean, they have been grandfathered, they were grandfathered years ago, and the devs seem disinterested in figuring out how to get these people to give them up beyond "maybe one day their subs will lapse". like, come on. it is kinda funny that someone was able to scoop up an entire ward on mateus uncontested, even if they are a lovely person.
