Our FC House (medium) is still used a lot but I have to admit we spend a lot of time sitting around the fire in the garden because the Marketboard is outside.
I've done quite a lot of gardening and people like the NPCs and summoning bell. The change to having you port outside really irritated everyone though. We liked logging in to our own place. Hopefully the rooms will improve that. We're going to have to clear out our basement cos for some reason everyone picked the basement to sleep in. Gotta make room for our workshop someday!
Also I find it really.....weird that you can put NPCs in your house (and now personal room) as if they were furniture.
Not sure we can put em in our personal chambers. Or did I miss something?
Can't customize appearance of those NPCs. 3/10 would not bang
I don't know if you can put 'em in your personal room, but I don't see why not, since as far as the game is concerned, they're just another furnishing.
Naming my room "Uncle Touchy's Naked Puzzle Basement".
I don't understand the whole server load thing. What exactly is stressful over a bunch of rooms that won't have anyone in them 99% of the time? Pretty sure over in FFXI there are millions upon millions of mog houses filled to the brim with rusty buckets and all manner of other shit. More rooms (everyone had one), with more furnishings. Yet in 2014 it's suddenly a problem?
Are you referring to the furnishing cap? Likely a storage concern rather than processing. It's a lot more data to store furnishings in XIV, since you're not restricted to 4 directions, and snap-to-grid like XI was (also, you can dye some XIV furnishings). idk how much data we're talking or how much of a pain it is to add more data though /shrug
Yeah, the furnishings. I mean I understand it requires a bit more data as far as positioning goes, but I can't help but imagine how incredibly tiny that amount still is. I mean it's essentially just grid coordinates and a direction. All they should really have to do is store it, and make the client deal with the rest once you zone in.
