Divide the Firnament Into Three Instances

Divide the Firnament into three instances and make the fates/progress of the zone the same no matter which one you are in.

It would help prevent people from getting locked out, and would reduce lag.

We almost crashed our server with the last one so yeah I can get behind this idea.

It's possible those two elements (multiple instances and a consistent progress bar) are mutually exclusive, particularly since it seems an obvious solution to congestion - and one that they have implemented in this very patch to keep Rak'tika less crowded.

Those multiple instances seem to behave separately for the purpose of hunt mark locations and spawn timers, so it might not be possible for multiple instances to share a progress bar.

Instances would help out a lot in there. Every time try craft in there my skills get paused and some times my crafting macros don't work right from lag in there.

Yeah they really need to add instances to Firmament, it's probably the #1 reason we have login queues in the game too but that won't solve that problem, the AFKs in other parts of the game (looking at you Limsa) need to be handled.

In-fact they should instances back to Eulmore as well.

That's the main reason I avoid the Firmament for the actual crafting. I precraft and only use it for handing-in and traveling to the Firmament.

I would but it requires two teleporter hops to get there if you aren't crafting at the main Aetheryte. They really should add firmament from any aether in Ishgard.

They should just give it it's own aetheryte so you could teleport from anywhere to there and add other places to get into diadem, like way it used to be. But hey, why think ahead and fix problems before they show up right...

It's probably to ensure they can keep the area locked down to server-only. Teleporting to Ishgard and taking the main aetheryte to get there is fine, it's just I'd rather be able to go there directly from the market.

They didn't even think of locking to server only until the feedback from the last part, so absolutely false.
