Number of people in Eureka

Could we get the number of people in Eureka limited to like 24 or at most 48. Mobs stop rendering on NMs, can't see what anyone is getting hit buy, and a couple of times my game would try to freeze for about 2 milliseconds.

Yeah, this is really annoying. Half my party vanished during one NM, which might not matter to DPS players, but kinda destroys the effectiveness of healers.

On another one, the NM itself vanished. That was fun.

Until they upgrade the netcode to be able to handle this level of traffic, they need a limit that doesn't get exceeded every time a NM spawns.

With so little people it would be very anoying even trying to get in though.

Turn off effects and move to the other side of the NM. Seriously on pull everyone seems to stay grouped on whatever side they pulled from. This solved my rendering issue.

Turning off effects helps alot. Plus its only the first 2 days. I think it will get alot better once people go up in the levels and the levels are spaced out more as opposed to the majority being under lvl 10

I ended up turning off effects for anyone but myself and my party, it helped a bit. Half the time I still can't see my own dots on the NM bosses though lol

this is the correct way to do it otherwise you have a hot mess of effects and die simply due to not being able to see the aoe.

It may be just based on the device that your using, people can try limiting to lower quality and show less to help. I've yet to see any issues to be honest.The most I've seen multiple aoes blocking my view on what direction the NM is facing. -.-

The NM battle I did yesterday felt very much like 2.0 Odin. At least the server didn't crash like it did back then!

I quite like having many players in a single instance, it just feels like there is more going on and for solo players at least they can find some company or a rez if they need it. Also no doubt in several days or maybe weeks the number of players here will die down till the next Eureka update, it's mostly just because it only just being released that it's so congested to begin with.

To everyone suggesting I turn off effects. I do that every time I go into Eureka. Some effects still show tho. Warriors auras, SAMs glowing when they do Midare, NIN's Ten-Chi-Jin, and even that huge galaxy healing thing one of the healers has. (I don't play healer)

I was going to write this too. The engine this game has simply can't support large scale battles, and with enough people they won't even render on your screen unless you are 5 yalms away from them or something, making healing and raising impossible. SE had to know this ever since Ixion, and the big Eureka battles suffer from the same effects, though a little less. This game can't support more than 40-50 players on screen in a fight.
