Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?
Everybody who wants a house should come to Dynamis so my queues get better. Primal is old and weak. Dynamis is the new hotness.

I scouted out some possible houses but I'm waiting until the last day before I decide on something. As much as I want that sweet medium in the Lavender Beds, I don't think I want to go up against a billion other players like normal lottos

Yeah, I've always bid on Lavender and the occasional Goblet but at this point if there's single digits I'm taking a shot no matter where it is

What are the chances a house will still be available in the like week or two it's going to take us to hit the requirements?

Last night I tanked my rear end off in the new Alliance raid, to the point where I was even getting praise in the chat. Throwing out Divine Veils and Passage of Arms on raidwides like they were candy. We definitely would have had more deaths if I hadn't, people were constantly eating mechanics.

Not a single commendation from my own party :negative:

Even if the smalls sell through which might not be certain, the ~two lottos after this one will have a lot of houses as people hermit crab around. Without knowing more details about your situation it's hard to say, but probably good chance? Don't forget you'll also need some money

Fair enough! I was thinking like this was going to be like.. the only lottery this year or something. Not sure why I thought that, but details from Google seem sparse.

Auto-demolition has also finally been reenabled, so there'll be more plots eventually popping up as long-time unsubscribers lose theirs.

Oh no, it's every week, plots permitting.

Because of the war in Ukriane demolition (houses being taken back if you haven't logged on in x amount of time, it's pretty generous) was turned off, leading to no new plots opening up. It's been turned back on so we won't have the issue of every plot being full all the time

Yeah, 8:1 feels like about the right ratio. Even the dps with raise (SMN, RDM) don't get the love, let alone the poor "just doing my job quietly" drg/mnk/whatever

the commendation meta changed drastically with this patch introducing portraits to duty finder content, now instead of being a fight between the tanks and healers its a battle of wits

The eternal question - do you snipe on the last day to get a plot with good odds, or do you claim early to discourage other people from claiming the plot you want?

I'm currently the only claimant on the best medium spot in ishgard. I doubt it'll last but you never know.

My strategy is to claim early so I can banish being irritable about housing lottos from my head for 5 full days. :v:

My problem is that now I'm going to be (completely pointlessly) obesessing over how many people have put in bids on "my" plot, until the auction ends

I'm not looking at all until results period. Seriously, it's the only way to deal with an inherently toxic system. I've got it reduced down to looking around to bid and the little gut punch of reclaiming my gil at the placard.

What job-specific animations/poses can we get for portrait use? Draw Weapon, Sheathe Weapon, Battle Stance, Victory Stance, and PvP Limit Break I have - are there others? Maybe for the drawn weapon poses or running with weapon or any job action?

That seems to be it+two of the standing choices is your combat stance and idle stance with your weapon out, would love to use Gunbreaker's Royal Guard animation for my portrait...

I would love to use Passage of Arms for my PLD portrait. Or a Fire IV or Despair cast animation on BLM. They should really expand the list of actions you can use for those things at some point.

I'm still agonizing over going with Empyreum or LB. Bunch of smalls at 0 bids for each on my server so it probably doesn't matter.

Is there any advantage for bidding in wards 26-29 instead of 30 for smalls? 30 is private buyers only, the others are a mix. I imagine beachside and highly desirable plots could get dog piled by FCs outside ward 30 but idk

i always commend dps unless a tank or healer does something exceptionally impressive, which basically never happens

Fc's usually aren't bothered with smalls, but it's really up in the air how the numbers will fall right now.

Speaking of fc's, on Excal there were party finders offering bribes for people to sign up so they can bid on fc plots last time I looked
