Sortie on Popular Servers

[AusraPain]

Good Evening,

As it stands right now Sortie is a piece of content players are having to wait upwards of 2 hours to do on busier severs, like Asura. It is not acceptable that we have to sit in a zone for 2 hours to do nothing just to play your newly released content.

You are the people in control of servers and you are the ones who have let this particular server get out of hand, so you need to be the ones to implement a fix or a solution if you are going to continue to release content like this as right now it is not acceptable for an MMO in which we have to pay for to sit around doing nothing.

I reccomend a server transfer. It will solve your problem very easily.

I think you meant to say "overpopulated servers" rather than "popular servers."

0 wait on Shiva.

Oh give it a break, remember when yall did this for Shinryuu? SE came in and made a dumb change to make it 30 merits, and within a month everyone forget it existed.

So the first recommendation is pay Square Enix even more money to transfer to a different server, despite it being them that let Asura get this way?

And the second is to just assume their incompetence is unable to implement a fix.

Got it

The first recommendation is to continue to give them money monthly for a service you aren't happy with.

Well part of the issue, at least on asura, is that there are people going into sortie solo. This increases the line. If more would team up, I bet the line would be shorter. Yes it is their choice to go solo, which is fine, I'm all about freedom of choice, just that in this case it does hurt the server in general by increasing the wait times.

Everyone in party gets same drops directly, as long as they are in range. Same points for everyone, you kill more as a party so I don't see any advantage of going solo, other than you can do it on your own time, without waiting for anyone else.

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".

There is nothing wrong with the queue on other servers. But please have SE change this so I can quit for good.
