    When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

    I saw these signs this afternoon directly next to my alts house - thought that was Gallaudet, but just went in and checked. It was Racoon Run - maybe that will be next?

    I highly doubt they'll be giving away a second region today. It was only on monday that Patch made the announcement that they would be shifting to a release schedule of one region per day; I imagine they will want to give it more time and planning before considering whether it's in their best interest to try a different schedule. (Not to mention, they don't yet have enough regions finished to allow them to move to 2 a day; they would run out VERY quickly at that rate.)

    I imagine what we see here is just a new visual indicator that this sim is finished and ready to release, when it is this sim's turn to release, next week/two weeks from now. I wasn't sure until now what the red line around a full sim meant, but it seems pretty likely it meant the same thing. Maybe they added the text for OUR benefit, so we are better able to track progress :)

     

    Edit: apparently I am way off base, because it looks like they released a second region today: Gaullaudet - which I'd figured was earmarked for Monday. Go figure!

    Does anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like when a houseboat or other new offering appears on the Get Your Home Now widget found on dashboard?

    This is all I ever see. Am I looking the wrong place? Google refresher add-on didn't allow for any filtering on location, at least not for me.

    you're looking in the right place, Emilia :) When a traditional home or houseboat is available, there will be a fifth option in the dropdown menu that says "Bellisseria".

    I supposed but that gives 75ish more people a home. I don't know what the answer is.

     

    It doesn't actually give any more people homes. No matter how many regions are releasing at a time, homes are being finished at the same rate by the moles. If more regions are released at once, that means releases happen less often. So whether 60 people get new homes in a week because of 3 different releases of 20 homes a piece, or 60 people get homes in a week because of one release of 60 homes total, the end result is really the same.

    I'm confused on this part.  Up in the SSP area, the houseboat area (pickle) that is on the NE of the Bellisseria mainland was just a work area.  I don't think they have any intention of moving it to the south of the Bellisseria continent or building another one down there.  Putting another one down there would definitely interfere with the logical continent land progression to the south.

    I think she's referring to the original green pickle which is located east-central to the main continent on the SSP map :)

    I think it's as good a plan as any. No matter what the lab does, there will be people who are unhappy. People were unhappy about the original release of ~2000+ homes because they didn't hear about it. People were unhappy about the Squishy Pickle release of ~700 homes because everyone was told exactly when it would happen and they went quickly. People have been unhappy to wait until large batches of homes were finished. And people will be unhappy to have small releases every other day. There's no pleasing everyone, but it seems apparent that LL is listening, learning, and trying new things to see what works best.

    More new homes going in! I've been checking in every day at 10-11 am SLT and finding that that's a great time to watch progress happening :)

    So, all you folks dat has like 5 homes, you gonna get all jealous when us super premium folks gets a mega-mansion. I challenges you to stop having the many premium accounts and instead have one super expensive one. That mean you get a fancier house but it also fairer than taking up everyone else's houses.

    Before Sergio bumped this thread yesterday, every response here had happened before the announcement of "super premium". Respondents had no reason to believe another tier of premium would be coming. I suspect, depending on the perks offered, several people here may be doing exactly that.

    Gambling Game in SL Stores for Outfits

    There are actually a lot of people in sl who really love gachas. If there weren't, they never could have become as prominent as they are today.

    I believe for those who genuinely love gachas, that love is driven by a desire to feel unique or special. By offering rare prizes that are more difficult to get, the reward to the people who win and use those rares is that they get to feel like they have something that not everyone else has. I've seen comments that gachas would only be ok if those same items were also offered individually or in fat packs by the seller. But in the act of doing that, the seller would be eliminating the thing that (I think) primarily makes gachas appealing. 

     

    Another reason people love gachas is the possibility of paying lower prices for good quality content. I often find, personally, that the rare objects in a gacha don't appeal to me and it's the regular ones that I want. In those cases, you can expect a reasonable chance of doing a few pulls at ~25-75 lindens a pop and win at least one of the items you were interested in, which you may have paid 300L for outside of a gacha situation. Or, as others have said, buy it on marketplace from a reseller to be sure you're getting exactly what you want :)

    I wish the "Games" category in destinations actually had games.

    I just think SL has a lot more to offer than some stupid games or even stupider quests. If people don't know what to do in their spare time, then they're wrong in this virtual world anyway.

    With my first account, I was a newbie helper, and you won't believe how many uttered these stupid questions "What shall I do next?", "Where do I have to go now?", or even "What is there to do to gain other levels?" (No, I'm not kidding!😡) Some even treated us newbie helpers like some sort of NPC. That's why I think that this kind of people is absolutely wrong in-world and that it's no loss whenever one of them leaves and returns to their stupid and over-prized computer games. 😈

    It's okay for SL to cater to more than one kind of person, or to people who like more than one thing. If gaming isn't your cup of tea, that's perfectly fine; you don't need to play games in sl. The fact that you personally don't want to play them doesn't mean that no one else does, nor does it mean that it would be a bad thing to develop further infrastructure to empower creators to make them.

    The average resident in sl is over 30 years old. Outside of sl, the under-30 demographic has a heavy involvement with video games and mobile games. Creating new infrastructure for game development could be a fantastic way to open sl to new, younger users and further boost the sl economy, promising greater longevity to the overall platform... Not to mention unlocking a lot of doors for current creators to make even cooler stuff. You might be surprised by the ways creators might find to use features intended for games to instead expand upon experiences like clubbing, sailing, and even shopping :)

    If that is going to be a community area, it could be problematic for the owner of the end houseboat parcel, who might find that they don't have sufficient space to sail a boat in and out.

    I volunteer to take it! I want a pool right outside my window; yes please! I will struggle through the hardships of a boatless existence :P

    I actually prefer the random lottery over a waiting list. If there was a waiting list, it would still be a first-come-first-served list, just based on when you found and signed up for the list, as opposed to when you found Bellisseria. But having a list would allow no hope of trying to switch to a different home location. If you weren't happy with the location you were given, you'd have to wait until every other interested resident had a home before you could try for a different location. As it is now, there are several residents abandoning their homes each day, and opening those homes back up into the pool, so it's possible to try for a spot that better suits you. If a list were implemented, I would want it to apply to only half of the homes for each new release, and leave the other half to the random lotto.

    Jumping Impact?

    I had a similar issue recently where I noticed I seemed to have far fewer LI available on my sim than I normally do. I don't have exact numbers, but on that day one particular renter reported that their shop which was usually 116 LI had jumped to ~150 LI, though they hadn't changed anything. The number later returned to what it had been previously. I suspected it may have had to do with project ArcTan, though I haven't heard anything about ArcTan in a few months
