...So instead of keep developing HS to implement future level ups, now it is a cash item?

This must be a horrible joke

All the important features of homesteads are handled handily with the current max size.

The rest is just event props for fashion's sake. Some players already have enough to turn it into lag city. Expanding to fit more of it is basically just for cosmetic purposes.

...On certain events that require herbs i actually had to hop on other player's HS in one day and loot all the herbs they had then hop on the next, so on, so on, i did it in so many days in a row that they just blocked people from accessing their HS...

...This current event is proof that they are gonna start doing events that require to use space in the HS and at the same time they released this expansion items.

Is just like "Needing to pay attention to the game every hour to get the reward" events

What kind of event required players to get hundreds of herbs? Level 14 homesteads already provide more than enough space to have a decently large herb garden and still have space for something like a field for event use and plenty of decorations. I don't really see how this is a problem, I'd rather see something like a homestead expansion, which is mostly just cosmetic anyways, over things like reforges and having rare enchants and equipment dumped into a gachapon.

You're surprised it's a cash shop item? That's standard for Nexon these days. New outfit or feature? Throw it in a gachapon or cash shop. Nexon continues to milk you guys.

It would have been far better to further increase the homestead level and put the expansion in that instead of creating another way to milk as much money from you guys than they already do. Yet the first thing you jump to is oh it's cosmetic only, no biggie. *shaking my head*

That's weird. For some reason the "friends only" setting is bugged for me and friends can't gather unless I set it to public, and I'm not setting my stuff to public if I'm not there to monitor it.

I'm still more upset about dry ovens being pon-only than I am about the expansion tickets. One directly affects my gameplay, the other doesn't.

What's concerning is that more in game features get tossed into the realm of pay to get than here's something free you can work towards. Particularly to existing systems. New hairstyles/hair colors. Let's gach the hell out of it. New homestead expansions that used to be part of leveling up your homestead? Let's make that pay to get as well.

For example: Remember the summer event on which you had to do challenges? One of those is making a wound potion, who even dares to bother ranking up potion making when the RE/SE potions are being given in bulks every other event?

On the first one: Why not forbid anyone but your friends to step on your HS (iirc, the portal prop allows this option) then allowing the herbs to be gathered by anyone?

On the second one: Those are still bazaarable, i know that because i've participated on events that give those usefull stuffs and people openly sold them.

This, THIS is exactly what concerns me, i don't care about Fashonogi, but why what was free, now developed into something to pay for? More so HS as i assume that was made as a nerfed alternative to houses and even then, devcat could do the usual, make props that cost pons, actually that would've been even better for them, give us more HS levels to expand it and THEN implement more props that cost pons, there you have it.

I'm pretty disappointed with this update. They had so many long anticipated additions to pick from - interactive houses, more crafting stations or that godforsaken wasteland all around the homestead. And they decided to just make a bigger square...

People who want the stats and talent mastery title for apothecary/druid. I haven't really made a potion since getting it to r1.
