I’m like you, I’ve spent my time on gta, the news home in Japan and Asia is closing, and the last dlc in gta was not my thing, I’ve just started to venture back into home before it’s too late, but it’s been nearly nine months of poor updates and I can’t really find anything I want.

Hey CrazyFace,
I hope if there is ever anything like Home in future this issue will be addressed, because you’re right there was so much potential lost to the simple omission of a delete button.

Going by the run of sales over in E.U at the moment, I’d say they might be seeing a drop in sales Gary. The first thing I’ve bought in Home in a YEAR was the nDreams personal space deal; 16 (maybe more) spaces for £8! I couldn’t turn that down! Other than that, I’ve stopped spending too…

I’ve stopped buying items really and I certainly don’t want naff rewards all of which cause stupid loading times. For me to buy anything it has to be special, rewards are the same. Do developers and Sony realise or care that users have stopped purchasing as much due to these load times.

Hey there, anyone remember me? I still use Home, but not even a fraction as much as I used to. Mainly because I’ve tired of the load times. I went to GTAO about a year ago and I’ve never looked back; an open world full of interaction with my friends that requires ONE (5min) load before I get to run around as much as I’d like for the rest of my session.

Sure, it’s not a patch on Home when it comes to proper socializing but with friends, it beats Home into the dust. I’ve despaired at the initial load times for Home when I go to do my “Home runs” aka The Challenges; it takes me around 20mins just to get access, then however many mins extra to move from space to space to do my daily challenges. Just doing a daily Hone run can take up to (or more than) an hour. One hour, to do 3 quick challenges. That’s just not acceptable, sorry.

I loved Home, and I still do; but it’s akin to talking with a geriatric now! It’s slow, drawn-out pace means I’m hardly even paying attention to it while it struggles to get me from A to B and once I’m done, I can’t get outta there quick enough. It’s like visiting that 100 year old relative that you have enough respect for that you’ll go, but you’re glad to be free of the whole thing once you get the opportunity to leave.

It’s a real shame, because Home still has all this potential, but was built on a foundation of questionable circumstance. Great read, I should come back here more often again.

In Final Fantasy 14 you can delete/discard anything but it alwyas asks you first if you are sure, especially if it is a unique item or reward for something.

Any of those would have been better then nothing at all in this case. Just thinking of how much worse it will get if you keep purchasing items while Home still lives, it’s just unreasonable.

So true Burbie,
that would have been be a great idea conformation before deletion.

The delete function gta5 uses for its online characters is you press delete and then have to write the word delete. Then you can’t make mistakes. Imvu uses a function that stops certainly items from showing up in your inventory. So you uncheck a t shirt then it doesn’t load until you recheck it. Meaning you never delete it. Second life leaves items in a compressed state until you unpack them, you can then compress them again if you don’t use them. I do like the imvu way myself.

I am totally with you on this Phoenix. I have the same problem and though I won a lot of things I have friends whose catalog of items far out weighs my own. Many have stopped buying and coming into Home for this exact reason.The addition of a deep six storage should have been implemented years ago too to make it easier to dump the unwanted things (both furniture and clothing) somewhere to never see the light of day again.
If they are worried people would cause a fuss about accidentally deleting something a simple menu with “you sure you want to delete this?” would work quite well. It does in Final Fantasy 14. They wouldn’t be able to complain to much if they were warned.
