Congested area, can't do restoration

[MomomiMomi]

Similar issues are being had on Leviathan - with Excalibur, Lamia, and Hyperion being primary culprits. Already hearing from FC mates that they are locked out from the area due to congestion.

Fake news, I just got in with no issues at all.

What needs to happen here is a complete lockout for wanderers from other servers to this area. That would be the simplest fix. With Balmung completing their stages within hours Mateus has become a full fledged congested area and like others, I have to work all day from this morning.

Sure the thought of others visiting from other servers is nice, but it is going to diminish the chance for server natives to participate in their own restoration. Being script vultures at this point is rather sad to see. And I can bet by the time I get home the stages will be complete on Mateus. It was so congested my friend sent a screen shot and character models only loaded 2 yards from him.

SE really needs to hot fix this for the later stages to block wanderers out, or perhaps give visiting players half or a fourth of what you would get for scripts if you're not on your home server, and 0 progress made on the visiting server's restoration.

I second this. Having all the Toxicity from balmung invade goblin... I left that server for a reason. Please block out the other servers.

Not only should they stop wanderers from joining the fates (and some of those are really annoying with shouting in chat that people should spam skills in the hope of a server crash..) but they should have done the whole thing differently. Everyone that has participated in the stage to get there should then be able to go into a new instance (through a NPC that is open for maybe 24 hours after the task was complete) and then complete some kind of interesting solo fate. This way everyone that took part in this can get something out of it and not miss out because they need to do something important like having a rl, going to work or sleeping..(And yes the fate is nothing special but its also part of the content for this so people should be able to take part in it if they want to do that)

They should add more instances there rather than 1, like they did when shadowbringer launched so people won't get locked out from doing main quests. I did get my Odin server fate only because I stayed there while doing duty roulettes cause I was afraid it would get full. When fate did arrive the amount of lagg was insane, I barely understood what I had to do and when I did the progress bar went up so fast that I only managed to give 2 items, the fate ended in less than 2 minutes. I got less scripts due to confusion and lagg.

At the moment in EU Light servers the firmament gets full 1 hour before the fate starts. Don't report players due to game design's own fault, the reward system even encourages for people to switch worlds to get easy 500 scripts cause crafting collectables give so little each and the rewards are pricey. I try to help other servers with crafting to get more points for the 2h fate timer to start, should I still be reported? In popular servers I'm sure it will still get full even if its only locked for own home server people, so I highly doubt that will fix the congested status.
