German Com rep response to "reservation system for dungeons".

[Bayohne]

Hey gang,

What our German counterpart, Sasunaich, said is correct. The development team discussed it and opted not to include a queue system for the instanced raids at this time. The system will allow groups to enter on a first come, first serve-type system. However, nothing was mentioned about how many parties can take part in the instance at the same time.

I've sent a request for further clarification on how many parties can inhabit the dungeon at the same time and will report back when I have further details to share. Sorry for the delay!

Thank your for this post!

Thanks for the information Bayohne, and I apologise to folks to whom I responded a few days back - I wasn't aware that Final Fantasy XI had a system whereby it was instanced, but only one group at a time could enter. As to being able to 'reserve' a spot, I found that extremely unlikely, but here is hoping that the maximum limit of parties with their own version of a dungeon at once is fairly large.

I'd hope, particularly with the way YoshiP has been speaking about things, that it would be like other 'modern' MMOs, but I have a little worry now after reading various posts. More so for the future of the game if it is made in such a way, rather than my own ability to get into a dungeon.

Good info! ^^ So pretty much will follow the FFXI's instanced areas' system. I just hope we can have more parties at same time than in FFXI...or will end like Nyzul during weekends or like BCNMs when diabolos was released, where only those with less lag were able to enter.

The morbol always coming to the rescue! Thanks! *Hugs one of Bay's vines*

Oh man, I see brown clouds forming in the horizon. Though it MAY be practical some time down the road, the problem I foresee is that on this "huge" update, the only real content released is the dungeons. EVERYONE and their chocobo will be doing them at the same time, creating huge line and much backpain.

I hope you guys have some temporary extra servers planned to pin on dungeons. Pull them off some specific spots that will probably get deserted for a bit due to this new content (don't know where, you guys are the ones monitoring that stuff. Stuff areas of the level of the dungeons, I suppose). Just until the "coolness factor" wears off, or more content is around. Otherwise, bring your coats, there's a storm coming.

Thanks for the extra mile Bayohne.

Thank you, hope it is more than 20 parties at a time. (at very least). I don't think you will have trouble to make just 20 instances, since other game I played could make 100+ instances at the same time. It is all up to how you would like people to wait (waste) time outside.
