QoL for Idyllshire

So, they just announced in the Live Letter, that they will somehow be addressing Idyllshire. Using mounts, possibly placing an aetheryte crystal in the hinterlands, etc.

I would like to suggest that, since we already know they can do this to other zones, they implement instances for Idyllshire! I am assuming Idyllshire will follow similar upgrades as Mor Dhona did in 2.0 and will be the main congregation point of 3.0 end game. Main reason would be to help visual performance in the area. I don't have the best computer, but its certainly not bad by any means. I can get 60 or higher fps everywhere but this zone. Come downs to so many people loaded into such a small area.

I don't see any downside to this. You might not be able to get into the same instance as a friend but you can just leave and change instance if needed.

For people that say "get a better PC". I'm running a R9 290, 8core 4.7ghz AMD, 16GB 2400mhz ram, and using a SSD, I am also using dx11 at 1080p.

Instances would be great... it would make it so I get more than 2fps in town :D

Mounts would not, no mount in Idyllshire please.

Well mount in Idyllshire will just be like mount in Mor Dhona : find a spot and show your rarest mount

i7-4820k, 64GB DDR3, SSD & CF R9 290 (x2) running at 1920x1200 and I got a drop to 15fps in Idyllshire. Maximum fps there and Mor Dhona is about 20fps when congested.

I really don't know what kind of rig I'd need to hit 60fps there... Maybe quad FuryX on i7-5960x? -_-

We need instanced zones, multiple at that!

And make the city much bigger or something would help. I still think they should have connect ydillshire to the hinterlands, people would have spread more.

Oddly enough, Idylshire runs great on PS4, way better than Mor Dona ever was.

Console master race? PC peasants?

btw idc about your FPS.
making the end-game city instanced would bring way worse issues than your FPS drop.

set your 'display limits' to minimum it'll give you like 30+fps extra...does for me anyway..but then again my cpu is trash

Just put more of the vendors for all the various items in Ishgard, encourage people to go to different zones. I'd rather not be hanging out in Idyllshire anyway!

Make it so you can exit to dravanian hinterlands via aethernet like you can from the city-states.

1. Click on aether crystal
2. Select aethernet.
3. Choose between exit dravanian hinterlands east or west.

Or just leave it as is.

I actually made this exact same suggestion on one of the other 1,000 threads about this.

That's okay, our game looks better than yours anyway. In case you didn't notice, until the recent patch Idyllshire was instanced on many servers and caused no issues.

It only increase it by a few FPS as I play full screen. It's just the sheer amount of people in such a tiny zone. If I look away from the congested parts it rises significantly, it's to do with people having minions out & using actions etc probably.

I get 60 fps consistent there. Perhaps i'm on a less populated server. Or maybe my internet is just better, I don't think it is a graphical limitation really despite it crippling your fps.

I think it has more to do with people teleporting in and out. The larger concern isn't the lag in idyllshire its preventing unnecessary lag in the hinterlands. Areas with coil in them were always over filled. Combining that with the mor dhona lag would have caused a lot of issues for people that are normally fine.

Those are not much Characters in your Screenshot. I get 60 FPS as well with such an amount. Now if there are over 50-60 Players in sight, it'll drop to the 40's.

I am amused at the PC Master Race people complaining about their rigs not being able to perform, pretty funny.

I have to agree with some of the others here. I get right around 60 FPS even when standing near the congestion that is the gear vendors.

My rig is an Intel i7-4770K @ 3.5GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760, DX11.

It's possible that your internet is being choked by your service provider to render players and their movement more slowly, or that your particular setup isn't optimized for drawing player characters as quickly as some others. That would be based entirely on AMD vs Intel, etc.

aetheryte to the door would help.

I just want a Market Board so I won't have to jump between the FC house and Idyllshire lol

I'm still throwing in my lot for the cannon that launches you to a random spot on the map.


cutscene with gobbiecannon going horribly awry included.

This problem is most likely related to AMD users trying to use Nvidia Gameworks options in congested areas. (such as HBAO+ QUALITY)
haven't seen anyone with Nvidia, including myself complain about it. Only AMD.
the amount of players on my screen since DX11 seem to have little to no impact whatsoever on the fps.

That's less of a concern for me. I make enough stops in Ishgard for hunt bills and seal exchange, that I'd make a quick detour to the MB's during my time there.

This wouldn't be too bad, but I'd rather Aethernet Shards be placed around the Hinterlands. I like the idea of expanding Idyllshire and repairing Sharlayan as the patches go on.

Oh joy! Mounts in Iddylshire! If this becomes a thing I'd like to amend a request onto it. NPC's that can be interacted with should have collision boxes a malm wide! People are already stacking on some NPC's and summoning bell, be it mistake or intentional, it's damned annoying.

Can this be avoided? Please!

The problem is not because of the amount of people, it's the amount of people bunched in a small space. Idyllshire needs to be expanded land wise. Or permanently place instances.

I'm consistently getting a decent speed in Idyllshire myself, but I can understand why it could use a few changes. At the very least, having an aetheryte in the Hinterlands means people don't have to warp straight to Idyllshire first and then zone to get where they want to. That can only be a good thing for reducing the lag.

I have never had problems and I run a janky store bought pc

the only QoL change i want for Idyllshire....is...remove that bagpipe music.......really. from every other camp that plays it too, like azyx, and the goblin NPC camp, where you do alex quests, and bunch of other places.
It's even more annoying than the moaning NPCs, when you have ambient sounds on, in crowded areas.
