Sortie on Popular Servers

Lol, goodbye then.

I don't see any indication they plan to make any changes here. Things will settle down before too long.

They made a change yesterday. Wait is now 0 on Asura after being 50 pages or more deep. They most likely had to have changed the instance availability because it was staying ~0-2 pages for the whole Friday evening.

Thank you development team. I was excited about doing Sortie. Yet again you have not learned from your past mistakes. Another battle content. Another 2 hour wait to do it. This is a repeating motif. I would hope that if given another 20 years, you could actually develop a bit more intelligence. Not likely. So I do want to thank you for making another piece of content that wastes so much of our time.

my entry into sortie has nearly always been instant (and yes, I see people coming and going, even here on Shiva, it's seeing plenty of activity. It's just not overloaded.)

Server populations. Balance them, SE.

They can't just kick everyone off to a random server. It's not happening. This is squarely the Devs fault for how they set up the event. They knew how the burden would look after ambuscade, Omen, and Odyssey. It's no one's fault but theirs.

Make Sortie 3-6 players until the queue calms down or more instances are added. Vagary and Delve are still 3+ for this reason.

This is the answer for some immediate relief.

We used to have this sort of issue with Ambuscade to a lesser extent. Which was only because players took half as long at most or mere minutes at best. In this case we have an hour of time for soloers. It was inevitable this happen with Sortie, and there's no shame in correcting course to make it 3 players plus until they figure out other congestion solutions. Besides, reducing the barriers to access is generally a courtesy for players that refuse to team up while rewarding the community for coming together before that. Unfortunately, players only care about themselves and be "upset" if they were told "no, there aren't enough instance for you to solo for an hour."

That or make it so trusts can't be used like in salvage. Encouragement like this is a fair compromise in taking steps to keep it "soloable".

The developers fixed the queue on Asura without interfering with anybody else's experience? You love to see it!

Well it's probably a combination of them making behind the scenes adjustments an d the natural decay of activity level of a new content over time.

The server issue isn't as simple as people make out, we don't all live in the same time zones, I was on Levi for years, never thought I'd leave, but it got ridiculous, sub 250 people on in eu times, I can't say what it's like now, but when I left it was out of desperation.
