A friend of mine was looking at a plot in the Goblet where the rest of my FC is. As of yesterday he was the only bidder there.

Today: 4 bidders, winning number is 4. He hasn't logged on yet to check but I assume those aren't randomly assigned?

No, sadly. The winning number corresponds to the entry number, so the 4th person who entered will be the winner. I don't think anyone on anything other than the most lightly populated servers got an uncontested plot - I did an extensive survey of Empyreum yesterday on Gilgamesh, and all the single entry plots were a minimum of 3 by the time I entered this morning.

We had our hopes up since the meme is nobody lives in the Goblet willingly, ah well.

I used up a lifetime of luck a year ago when I said "huh, what's that gavel on the map mean" and just wandered over and bought a house.

They might open up a few more wards in Empyreum, but I think that, realistically, the best bet for anyone who still wants a house is to wait for one of the new servers to launch and then jump ship to there. I'm still holding out hope for large size apartments, but I guess we'll see what Island Sanctuary actually entails first.

I know you aren't like advocating for that so please don't take me wrong when I say how loving ridiculous that fact is. Why should anyone have to hop servers to get a house? They can add more. They have the servers to add more.

Everyone's getting there own customizable "base of operation" on a private island but we can't each have a house?

aren't the number of wards kept even between districts? don't think they'll add new wards to one without matching that number in the other four.

tbh i don't mind too much about not having housing personally (especially with the island coming) except there's like actual functional mechanics like garden plots and submarine voyages that you just don't get to interact with unless you're in a fc that lets you gently caress with all that

I was one of three bidders on the plot I chose to bid on, so better odds than the last few cycles. but still, that's a lot of people remaining who didn't get plots.

i'm happy for the new houseowners from this, but i'm still definitely salty about it overall, because boy do the odds get bad now for everyone else :(

I use the mod for this and generally like it, but it does make it tougher to figure out exactly where you are in combo and I find it is particularly terrible on DRG with its longer combos and the need to know which attack you're doing for positionals and life surge.

My jobs look like this now. I don't know why they all stall out in the 60s. Maybe because Bozja and pixie dailies accelerates everything that hits the 70s, but i don't know why SB levelling feels so much slower than HW.

I would actually like higher incoming damage in regular content, but maybe criterion dungeons will be good for that? Idk I rolled healer to play a healer, if you want to shoot loads of big number lasers... *gestures at half the job roles*

If they are anything like the other high-end content in the game, no shot. Unironically the only fight that has actual triage healing this expansion is Unreal Ultima's Bane which is hilarious, the healing paradigm has changed so much in 8 years.

is it really triage healing if it’s just that the fight is such a joke that you can heal extremely sloppy pulls to a clear

The people doing lower level ADR aren't very good either. Yesterday I was in a Void Ark where we drat near had a full wipe due to nobody touching Cuchulainn's balls. (Two tanks survived and whittled down the last 4% or so of his HP). I don't think I've seen that happen since that raid was brand new.

The rest of the fights all took 20-30% longer than they usually do due to very low overall damage output. If we'd been in Syrcus Tower we might have actually seen Glasya summon the bots.

it's funny because you can actually kill cuchulainn before then if your DPS tunnel vision. his shield in the flan phase is even called Stoneskin, and operates like a stoneskin used to, it can be damaged through if a few dps tunnelvision him. This was even possible in HW with its much lower player output because void ark was tuned so low.

I imagine the island sanctuary is going to do the same trick the inn room does, where technically there's only one instance of it, or I guess like 2 or 3 if it's crowded.

I guess that might be harder to do since it sounds like it will be possible to set things up there.
