Have I ever regaled the forums with the time the FFXI team (during Yoshi's turn at the helm, during the Abyssea content) accidentally coded healing damage to underflow on undead enemies? A level 1 casting Cure 1 on a level 80 Notorious Monster Lich would deal something like 98,000 damage.

Or the time they patched in something and accidentally broke Sneak Attack so it worked from every single direction instead of just the intended one? Despite them not touching any job abilities or mechanics in the patch?

The fix to the problem is never ever as simple as it appears, doubly so when SE is on the job.

I think that's a bit misleading to reason like that. We are not exactly talking about pure R&D here. We are talking about a system in place with limitations, pros, cons, and a certain structure. 

In most cases people coming with revolutionary ideas will meet either one of those issues:

- They don't know the code behind and so their miracle solution doesn't mean anything once facing the reality.
- Their idea is perfectly valid and someone probably already thought of it. Then the newcomer will ask "then why the hell are you not doing it"? The answer will always be "Because its costs development time that is allocated to more important things". One of the most common heated arguments inside a company (well at least mine) is people complaining about dev allocation. 
- Anyone that never worked in the company can't possibly have a concrete idea tailored for the issues at hand for the simple reason that software, and most of the processes, are proper to the company and unique. You have to get a good look at it (and actually a certain time of experience getting accustomed to all of this in the company in question) before being able to formulate any solution. The time you will spend will be relative to your degree of experience in the field.

Lol it's been a while since we've argued about housing.

-Checks list- Looks like we're due for a White Mage thread again soon.

White mages should be legal.

Wouldn't be a true FF without an underflow/memory manip glitch.

You ask, I provide. Cool

RE: 3.3 Housing Updates - Blue - 05-19-2016

Whatever the apartments or Ishgard area come to be, I really hope we get some options for worn-out/old/poor looking housing. Everything right now, from the houses up to the furnitures, looks brand-new, luxurious, and Barbie-style. I'd like something a bit more relatable. Carbuncle couches are okay, but some old-fashioned things like a worn-leather couch would be great, too.

I think the best would be a dye that automatically adds flaws and worn-out details to anything. Tiled floor becomes broken tiled floor, wooden wall becomes splintered wooden wall, etcetera. That'd be a damn blast.

My pipe dream would be the Ishgardian wards (if there will even be a ward at all) to be inspired to the Brume, or at least to the Forgotten Knight. That inn room is my favorite housing location by far, and it upsets me hard to be unable to get other players in there. I can try replicate it in an FC room but... it's not the same.

While all the talk of the hows, whys and such is nice... Do we have an eta for when this patch will even land?

I looked  around a bit while at home but couldn't find anything. Now sitting at work (yay filters) so definitely can't find anything.

Early June according to this:

We'll likely get an exact date during the next Live Letter this Sunday.
