Pop cap

[Nekodar]

I've done Odin on a legacy server and never disconnected once and havn't heard of anyone else crashing during the fight either.

So it must be something wrong on your end if it only happened to you and a handful of other people.

Since you seem to be unaware, yes, some servers have crashed due to Odin and/or Behemoth. Does it happen on every server? No. Does it happen on many servers? No. Has it happened on some servers? Yes.
Chances are you'll never even see the pop cap in effect no matter how long you play.

If they have to add something like this because of the behe and odin fates then they shouldn't have added something the game couldn't handle.

Putting behe and odin in fates is stupid anyways, it's not like they are fun fights or you get anything great from them. Should of made them an instance.

Is this confirmed? this sounds bad....

[blanc7]

this is not a fix, SE just taking a easy shortcut to address the problem...
my suggestion to fix this problem is to make a mirror channel for those field which has max population (with no FATE is OK) just to accomodate ppl who just there for gathering, quests, etc.
and i want SE to fix how the game render many ppl, well like odin or behemoth we cant even see the boss, can u adjust it so the game always render the monsters, and limit rendering the players, i mean who cares abt random ppl that we dont know.

None will return after dieing to Odin/Behemoth.
It will be a land of corpses and cries.

In an era of cloud computing where VMs are instanced on the fly based on services load, this fix is laughable xD

Nice.
This will be FUN.

Why the Hell Fan Boys like you defending them. The game is shitty programmed it seems and Limit something this way is not ok for an MMO. They are enough other and better Solutions, increasing Capacity and improve Server stability, implementing a Zone System like in GW2 and so on. But this sounds like some Noobi shit from the last century.

Where is he defending them?

I think some times people write just because they still have free posts to use.

Was there something in that post I didn't catch? That was far from a fanboy post. If anything it was one of those rares posts where someone calls SE out on a poor decision without immediately jumping on the SE-Bashing bandwagon.

As for the fix itself, I agree that it isn't a good one, but at least it's something. Like others have said, it probably won't be noticeable outside of the Odin/Behemoth FATEs anyway. Gonna wait until this goes live and see how it works in practice instead of worrying about simply hearing the idea.

Well as far as i understand i should be have gone live with the hotfix today, will watch it this evening. But something says me that the 2 last zones Mor Dohna and Dragonhead will reach the cap a bit to often.^^
