Whether it is a national costume or an international service, "how to buy a house" has always been a difficult problem for Final Fantasy XIV players. Even though the latest 6.0 version adds the "snow house" Ishugad residential area, the demand is greater than the demand, and the situation of more than porridge has not changed.
Although the latest 6.1 version of the international service failed to solve this problem, the official finally officially launched the "lottery to buy a house" system that players have in mind, making the purchase of a house more fair. Players don't have to try again and again with the door number, which also limits the script's ability to grab the house.
In theory, the home buying experience would be better. But the beautiful idea can't stop the official from making its own moths.
After the lottery system is installed, the player finds that there is an obvious bug in the system:
Even if a single player/multiple players apply to participate in the lottery, the system may still display "No one participated in this lottery"
It is possible that the house will be given to the player with the lottery ticket number "0", but in reality no single player is likely to have this number
After these two issues were widely reflected by players, Square Enix urgently issued an announcement that it was working on an investigation and inspection of the database, and expressed its sincere apologies to players.
Game director Naoki Yoshida published an open letter on his official website at 3 a.m. yesterday, explaining the problems the game is currently experiencing:
Because the lottery process is complex, we are trying to find the cause of the failure in the corresponding program. But there are too many patterns involved in the selection criteria and it will take time to solve the problem.
Because the problem could not be resolved immediately, Square Enix also postponed the announcement of the results and said that the next round of lottery would not be opened until the problem was resolved.
Unexpectedly, Yoshida's explanation did not appease the Final Fantasy XIV player community, but instead caused another round of questions from some players: "What is the mode involved in the selection conditions?" Are you officially manipulating the results of the draw?!"
So at 22 o'clock last night, Yoshida quickly published an open letter, saying that his previous letter was too hasty and sloppy, there was an omission in wording, in fact, it should be "registration conditions", the system will determine whether the player is eligible to register for the lottery through the set conditions *, and whether the land can be selected.
*All characters in an account can only have a maximum of one troop room and one personal room.
The selection itself adopts a simple random number mode, and there is no black box operation.
After several days of investigation, final fantasy XIV development team land said that no wrong lesion has been found so far, and it will take some time.
