Thread starting quote by Tingtong -
Hi guys I just wanted to give you the down-lo before you invest some MAJOR cash into this houseing idea. I invested 220pp+ for a mansion in Midgard. I got everything setup, restrictions, access, furnishings, etc. all went well.
This is where it turned for the worse- I started putting items into the consignment merchant. I managed to put up 2 respec stones for 15pp each (oh yea i wanted someone to PAY for my housing!!) I also tossed some weapons in there for 270gp each.. i come back about 1hr later and STONE is gone!! WHOO HOO!! Then about 2-seconds later I find out it sold for 270gp!! OMG GRR... I then Started REALLY looking into the merchant and noticed about 50% of the items change their prices to other price's of items thats in the merchant. I appealed this problem and asking for a refund for the items that were sold and CSR reported it to the bug team and told me to fill out a "feedback" on herald for items I lost.(basically saying tuff luck pal) Then has the nerve to ask me if i priced the respec stone right. Man I was boiling...
Ok, next items completly BUGGED!! The house vaults stack items!! Whenever you close the vault that you put items into and go back all the items get stacked. Were not talking 1 or 2 items were talking about 10-20items per slot.. Great benifit eh? I did tell the same csr about the problem and he told me to remove items out of the vault because when they do "FIX" it, the items may be destroyed. DOH!! Nothing like haveing 400vault items dissapper and having another csr tell you to fill out a COMMENT CARD!!
Also, Your house LOOSES your permissions! I didn't even wanna tell the csr about this problem because he was completly usless to me at this point. But I bought a house yesterday setup the permissions and I log on the next day and Visitors have permission to REMOVE items from the house!! Wow talk about a kick in the butt!! lol..
My overall feeling about this housing pack is it's a WASTE of TIME and in-game money. I sure if they had beta tested it longer it wouldn't be as bad. I mean I listed the BIG bugs that blew me AWAY... but the little bugs really got to me to... 1. help file ALWAYS come up when you zone in even if you have it checked off. 2. You can't bind in the house and /release home back inside... your always plopped outside the house. 3. Why make the inside a SAFE ZONE?? Comon i wanna see some duels BABY!!
This is the link with me talking to a csr about my problems (second time) I asked for a refund.. I asked for HELP!! on my 220pp investment.. he basically told me to go fly a kite...and watch the herald until it's fixed... So I WARN you NOW don't buy a house NOW you will regret it.
Great post by QuakMD of LoF /props -
To whom it damn well better concern,
A guild in my alliance spent over 200 plat on a Mansion, between reserving the first spot in the zone and then putting up a mansion. Due to bugs in a completely UNFINISHED add-on to the game, Tingtong Inc has already lost roughly 30 plat from the Consignment merchant and had a generally bad experience with your game because of it. These are hardcore gamers who pay good money to Mythic for a finished product. While yes, Mythic technically owns every aspect of the game and has full control over these things, Tingtong was informed by a CSR that he's essentially out of luck. This is absolutely atrocious customer service on your behalf and you should be ashamed. The VN boards are flaming and I'd suggest you either pull down housing until it's actually done and bug free or refund the money/items lost due to insufficent testing and an obvious push to implement with the impending release of SWG. Originally, Mythic stated, and I wish I could find this announcement, that you were intending for Foundations to be released in August. What real benefit did you have for pushing this forward. You've not only disrupted the enjoyment of some great players, but also enraged a large portion of your Midgard participating members on the Merlin server. It's been well stated that you keep logs of EVERYTHING, to help with preventing hackers and cheaters from running amuck, so your going to have logs of all the items/gold that this guild had before building the house and should endeavor to replace it swiftly and humbly.
Please don't screw over the people who are paying your salary, they are loyal to your game and the enjoyment it gives, and you should return the courtesy.
Begrudgingly yours,
David
I encourage others to get on the Herald and leave your feedback, don't be rude, but be stern as unless they get flooded with complaints, Tingtong and other guilds who drop this kind of cash are gonna keep getting fuxord.
Let us know if we can help Ting that is fucked up.
