    It is boring an inlandish - no water near - just any house.

    Only interesting feature are some rockd behind the garden.

    The Allweiss was MUCH better.

     

    That is not true at all my hubby has a home in Jamesborough that is one block over from the water so is not inland and the neighbor in front of us is right on the water bank. Every area that is near water going to have a few homes close to the waters edge of course the rest are going to be inland because every house can't sit near the water as much as we would like.

  2. Why I said I wish people would stop releasing so much on a release day if you know one is going to happen release the house early and then wait until some type of warning is given that a release could be happening in which you know there will be.

    People start just releasing an abundant amount of homes and either gets others confused if it is actually a release or not, then if a real release happens you get stuck with maybe a older home you did not really want and really have to be fast on the trigger to release it and get back into the pool for the newly released region before they are gone.

    Not bad the houseboats I could do without obstructing the view but nice seeing the lighthouse from the distance, I wonder if you remove the houseboats does it also remove the lighthouse.

    There was also the comment about the mystery theme being something that went well with railroads. If they intend to put the first area on the tail fin of the main area, it'd be a sharp transition if it suddenly went to snow. Though on the other side, cabins could work on green or snow areas, depending on the decorations. They could also be big enough to work in a similar niche to traditionals.

    Well that could be numerous things that went well with railroads, now based on the location of the railroad you could have apartments/condos or duplexes if it is more city setting. If you go with more rural areas you could have farm type homesteads or other types of homes similar to the traditional's. 

    Cabins I would see them doing but really does not go well with railroads they should be in a more secluded area only see a railroad stating we getting dropped off for a trip.

    Ha, I thought I knew your name from somewhere! It was your walls I bought and that the Winchester was messing up! I finally gave up on it and changed to Adams so I could use your walls for that style, because I love the walls but they just would not work in that crazy Winchester. lol 

    Funny thing is I got the same walls and had a terrible time placing them in the Winchester also lol. I would get one side positioned correctly and then turned around and was not fitting right on the wall either behind me or the sides to a point I just gave up figured it had to do with the positioning of the house not every house is placed the same some are slightly turned or may be the issue she was having not leveled.

    Aren't you trying any more?  I know it's a pain, I'm still trying for a home I really like too, and my life seems to be one long refreshing session!

    Nope I have not tried since Limevale to claim any new homes been some areas I wanted to try for but they released them all over the place time wise and days that I just said the heck with it.

    I cant sit and watch the screen every second of the day at work can get on here post a little then if you notice I edit my posts because I was not done typing because I had to step away and come back lol. So I am always missing a majority of the releases because they go smack in the middle of the working day.

    Which look they just released Proud Mary and was only 2pm here.

    My theory is they need at least two abandons to trigger show up on the land page and throw both out at the same time and because you know it's going back in you will click the first one when actually it's gonna be the second one (the one that you abandoned that caused the trigger). Happened so many times to me now!! It's all just theory though who knows how it's done?!! You are right I think that I take the first one and should refresh past  that one and click the second one.  I might try it on the retiring alt but camper switch has delivered a new parcel which is what I was looking for at least in this case!!

    Never hurts to try if I was still attempting for the dream home I would test out the theory but I have no patience anymore nor being disappointed when I get something that I really don't want.

    I am not a fan of playing the catch and release game because I just want to get that one home that I am satisfied with and be done with it. I can then actually really plan out how I want to decorate and not leave a empty vacant home.

    I rather leave those homes for other new home seekers that will be happy with them.

    I am never trying that again! Four hours and the wrong parcel at the end of it!! Funny how you can pick up the same parcel three times on your main account but not pick up the alts parcel........ well, you are the exception!!! .... this switching evolved from the theory that you get a different parcel coming up as well as the old one but it's pot luck which of the two. 

    I have a funny feeling that somehow the parcel that you release is still registering in the system and will be reassign to you if you quickly release and try to claim again within a certain time frame it will automatically assign the home back to you it is almost like a fail safe system saying oh maybe they did not really want to release.

    Sounds like you are not giving enough time between when you are releasing and then going back into auto refreshing and then claiming another home again. Because I know if you wait long enough someone else will have claimed it if it goes back into the pool in a matter of minutes.

    I use to watch after releasing a home the time it took for the home to refresh and then be claimed by another person it can be very quick if you give it time. I use to normally wait about 1/2 hour to an hour before attempting again if it was not a release day. On release days I would not touch anything until I heard the warning about zones being restarted.

    Im trying to find a place on Bellisseria for quite some time now. Used autorefresh, refreshed manually... never ever saw anything new (probably a 1000 refreshs). Now 1 minute ago: saw a houseboat

    So you are seeing stuff just not capping confused? You have multiple posts saying you see stuff just not trying. You probably will start seeing houses be released if people feel a release is about to happen so just keep watching.

  11. I would love for something that has a water view it does not have to be a oceanfront view could be a nice lake or pond. I also am picky when it comes to the landscape I don't want any obstructions blocking that view (don't want to start derendering things), I want well placed trees, rocks, bushes and flowers which need to be placed nicely so that I don't have to use so many prims to make the yard look decent when I would like to use those for inside the home. Would also like little sitting area or spots laid around the region some areas have them others do not. Some of the camper areas close to the resort have nice little views but not a fan of them so looking for homes that have the same concept..

    I try not to be picky on the homes I did get but they always missed something mostly the water other then my houseboat lol, but can be very difficult to obtain the right home when so many others are trying to gain that water view also. I have given up looking for that dream location tired of the mad dash rush to anticipate when a region with those type of homes will be released and competing with 100's of others to obtain one continues to happen over and over again you are just not going to be placed at the ultimate location without a bunch of luck and hate playing the catch and release game so I went back to something I am guaranteed has that view.

    Would me nice to see a witch parade on Halloween multiple people flying around all areas of bellisseria.

    Would also be cute when Christmas comes to have someone dress up like santa and fly around on their sleigh just giving that holiday cheer for those that celebrate.

    ^ Bird's eye view.

    I didn't add any pics of the interior as I kept that the same as the old house (cheating, I know, but why fix what ain't broke?)

    Nice view you got water for days lol, I was planning on putting that pergola outside my hubby's house since it has all beach terrain also may still do it, I like the look and feel it gives in your pic even though he does not have a water view lol.

    I've finally settled - thanks to an abandon in Yuge with a sunset over the sea facing Belli fairgrounds and the lighthouse. Lovely elevated green parcel looking out over sands with my own steps. Now THIS is worth all that work. Thank you whoever let this back in!!

    Congrats! on the final home glad someone released something worth while that you truly loved.

    Hmm! that is cute too bad you can't rez a dog and have it playing and running around would really take this game to a new second life hehe.

    Just sad all these years they could not implement a better virtual login system to the game would love to do some exploring during my lunch break, by the time I get home have so much to do in the house I forget to logon to the game if it is not staring me in the face.

    It really is a great idea. A photo, or a description, makes people not interested in that particular type stop squeezing f5 and give a chance to those who really want it! At least that's what I think.

    It could not saying it will avoid some of the people from releasing the same home over and over again. Most that are getting the same house again are not giving enough time for it to go back into the pool of homes to be taken by someone else they are too trigger happy and get the same home again and again lol, most of the time when I release a home I wait a good 30min to an hour before trying again.

    If I give up a home on a release day I do it way ahead of time and then wait until I start hearing zone restart warnings to attempt the refresh madness, I just can't stand when people start abandoning homes right at release time because most likely what happens you get the abandon and not the release you wanted.

    Keep spotting and reporting Chloe.  You are ending a premium account with weeks or days to go. Nothing wrong with this. Nothing wrong how you use Bellis to bounce around many region locations. Every region has a good quality.To make it better post the slurl of the homes could be useful to others. 

    Yep said for people that do post on here and tag and release homes to post pics so people can see what is being thrown back into the pool of homes.

    Those poor homes that have been released so many times may get avoided and actually go to someone that really wants it.

    Understood completely! I am not going to spot anymore on this thread feels like the right thing to do !

    Nah! you do what you feel like responding too, there are too many people that put people down on here and prevent them from saying things when they don't agree. 

    My very first home I got was a release and someone did it on the weekend that basically helped me because I thought I would never get one even though it really was not too my liking. Second home was abandon by @RaeLeeH lol stayed there for a bit can't remember if that was on off hours or not. Third home I got was not for me but my hubby and that was a release also but on the beach and one block over from the water which funny thing is I cant see the water lol but still a nice location he still has it to date but that was also on the weekend.

    The other homes that I got all where during working hours that became tough to get as I was not able to constantly watch and missed alot of the releases and got some in areas I did not want so threw back and most of the time that was well into the evening time when I got home from work.

    People saying "hey not fair" are treating it as a competition. I don't treat it as a competition at all so it mystifies me when they can't get a home. The secret is - put more time in at the land page with the f5 or whatever. It's harder if you work, different zones etc but don't treat it competitively it is meant to be a community. 

    Not many people have time to watch the screen and constantly click on f5 all day long I was only fortunate to cap the ones I did while at work and not an easy feat when you looking out for management :), it is a very frustrating system and is all basically luck of the draw right now. It may not be a competition but can feel like one when trying to get that ultimate screen that you have a new home.

    The retiring alt just caught the Wilderness Point camper I've had now three times today. If anyone is wondering I am doing this out of curiosity mainly atm! Eventually I will stop. It's interesting to see the same parcels coming up....and now four times I've caught the same camper!!! He's going to hold onto this until retirement - it has a lighthouse view / bit of lake- we can work with that until the main has her curiosity limit lifted 🙄

    That will happen because either the spot is undesirable or people know that this was abandon multiple times or was expecting it to be a release happening and trying to get something in the new area. Some people also I have the feeling are playing the catch and release game and not really after anything in particular so they may be just getting the home and then releasing quickly after they obtain it.

    I gave up the en devours of trying to snag that perfect home just was not happening and tired of going back and forth trying to race with auto refreshing, clicking to accept the home before someone else has or to grab something that is totally not what I am looking for in any shape of form. I have tried to find something positive in the ones I did obtain but never truly could be pleased with them. I have one now I don't even visit or trouble my self with may just go decorate the outside of it for Halloween and Christmas to make the neighbors feel like someone is living there.
