Unity announcement of Domain Invasion Issues

[VoiceMemo]

The announcement of Domain Invasion in unity chat is a bit unfair. Currently the best way to farm escha beads is from these fights, but a lot of the time you get the message that the unity chat is full. Since the chat is full you receive none of the announcements that the next Domain Invasion is upcoming. SE please change the system of announcement of Domain Invasions to a system that EVERYONE can see, not just those that are lucky enough to get into unity chat before it reaches its capacity.

If your Unity isn't working for you, try a different one.

It's not a problem with the unity, its a problem SE built into unity itself. Unless you pick the least popular unity, giving you a useless or undesired unity trust, its an annoying issue.

As a suggestion, unity messages that pertain to domain invasion should be sent on a system type message so everyone on the server gets notified.... Similar to campaign notifications rather than the current method that isn't working well.

Even in a unpopular unity with chat not even close to full you will often cut in and out of unity chat... even while remaining in zone. But since there is no longer a message you wont even know it so hours can pass and you will wonder why there hasn't been messages. Even worse I find sometimes I'll have partial unity chat. Like I wont be able to see anything from leaders but I can from players so I will think I am monitoring for the domain invasions but in fact I'm not. Or even weirder is sometimes I can be in chat enough to send messages that others can see but I can't see anyone elses

Greetings,

We’re aware that since Domain Invasion announcements are being made through the Unity chat feature, it’s not possible for others to see once this chat channel reaches capacity. We feel this needs to be adjusted, and we’ve been looking into supplementing the Unity chat feature or having a system message announcement; however, we’ve determined that neither of these approaches will be possible.

Due to this, we’re looking in another direction, and we would like to make adjustments to Domain Invasion by shortening the spawn timers of the notorious monsters found in Eschan areas (including Reisenjima) so that if you visit any of these areas, the opportunities to battle these monsters will increase.

We’re planning to address this sometime after April, but please let us know your thoughts before the end of the month.

If you could add a progress bar under region info -> escha -> Domain and show something like Zi-Tah 90% (progress until spawn not current hp), that way people can see how long until it spawns, that would be my idea.

Then add the same thing to WKR so you could go to regin info -> adoulin -> wild keepers

Maybe they should just give people reasons to go to unities other than Apururu and Sylvie.

[VoiceMemo]

The main reason unity chat is full is because of the trusts associated with them are the best, ie Apururu is one of the best healers. If you could give a comparable healer that is acquired via quest(not associated by limited time event) then more could change to other trusts, which are not as full.

On Carbuncle, participation has dropped to the point where Azi and Naga are sometimes untouched between noon and midnight EST, and even Quetzasdfkjfl has stood around looking lonely at times. Having them spawn more frequently without knowing about them isn't going to fix the problem, and in fact may just further frustrate players who care about the fights.

Naga timed out at 99% after midnight last night, that was just depressing to see how badly my server has fallen. The more that happens, the less I care about the event.

Can't these notifications become system messages similar to how Besieged works? Or the long forgotten about Bastion fights in Abyssea? The entire fight/reward system needs an overhaul if we're to somehow pursue 300+ wins for the 11th vorseal.

Ah yeah now I can miss twice the messages regardless of how full the chat is
