Philv2.0 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Suggesting we add required playtime within the 90 days to keep premium houses. Maybe an hour or two? You shouldn't just be able to login every 2 months for 2 minutes and sync to keep premium property. Unfair to other players that could be using it. @Gnashes Edited May 12, 2017 by Philv2.0 Mutiny likes this Link to comment

fujitsu Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 +1 while i like the housing system i agree that it's pretty flawed still. This would help get a lot of premium property back on the market but i wonder how the admins would monitor playtime to that level. I know nothing about what info they do get tho nor do i know anything about coding so for all i know it wouldn't be that difficult. If it's possible to implement i think a 2-3 hours every 90 days would help a lot. Being able to perpetually hoard prime real estate without actually playing is problematic to any new players.

Manolo Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Well if you spent the time to get properties and get large storage containers and fill them with goodies. It would be kinda shitty if the houses disappeared quickly and some people like to take breaks. From my personal experience I had a house disappear in 60 days People say 90 days Atra and Thanos like this Link to comment

fujitsu Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) @Manolo if you spent the time to get the supplies and the crates, but go offline for months at a time only logging in every few weeks for a minute to hold onto that stuff you are not actually playing the game and do not need aforementioned stuff. You are only hogging real estate and keeping people who are active from better enjoying their experience. I am not sympathetic to people who are inactive but hoarding their stuff, because if that's the case you're not around often enough to justify that property not being available to other people. If you are logged in for a couple hours every couple months then you're actually playing the game and this is a moot point for you. If you want to take a break for more than three months you might want to consider putting your assets back into in game cash, doing anything else is locking up valuable real estate for over a quarter of a year, and im sorry but thats unacceptable regardless of the 1.7mil (high end example) you paid for that house, you arent using it.

fujitsu Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) And plenty of other people dont like the way it is now, else there wouldn't be so many posts like this. The system is flawed, not terribly flawed but still it needs some work. 45 days sounds like a great start, not sympathetic to trying to take multiple month breaks and still hoard all their stuff, sorry. 90 days with no playtime limit gets what we have now, 99% of all worthwhile houses owns in perpetuity and the housing prices inflated beyond belief. Forcing houses back onto the market helps prices and helps new players. Frankly i could give a damn less about you 2+ year players as you have everything you should ever need. Unless of course you dont want any new players, or you want to keep chasing them away as soon as they join with the toxic RDM/VDMing of newspawns, the inability to acquire property that aides in the development of new player or gangs, and the fact the 80% of the community is over 1 year old therefore so well established that the newbies get zero chance. The veterans need to be aware that your status ruins the game for newbies and it starts with the fact that you own all good gang turfs, all good production house, EVERY GOD DAMN SHED!...

drex Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) They should make it like 30 days and if you aren't on it gives the player dollar value for the market value of the home and the sieze value of the guns, drugs, crates, barrels, etc. @Gnashes Edited May 13, 2017 by drex Link to comment

StevieDeeks Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I was told by bamf just the other week that the script for putting houses on the market after inactivity is disabled and has been for some time. He said that Paratus has is disabled on the back end for some reason Link to comment

fujitsu Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 1/4 of a year is an inappropriate amount of time for "real life issues" if you're going to be gone that long take extra steps or expect to lose some stuff. Philv2.0 likes this Link to comment

Cobra Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 @fujitsu I personally like hogging prime real estate, especially the houses that overlook Rodopoli turf flag. I don't even fight turf, but it's fun as hell knowing a person is unable to camp a flag behind a locked house. fujitsu likes this Link to comment
fujitsu Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) @Cobra so long as your active and playing the game thats a completely valid tactic, if you are one of the players who is never actually on but hoards the owned houses by logging once every few weeks for a couple of minutes then you are abusing the housing system and hurting gameplay for everyone else.
