Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

I think they should remove the FATE rewards instead. Disabling other servers from accessing it won't prevent congestion on crowded servers during peak hours.


This is true, but another problem is if you can't enter due to congestion, you can't turn in crafts for scrips. The periods of congestion would be far apart and you could still transfer to another world, but it's less than ideal.

The congestion is temporary, only lasts until the fate is over.

If people know the area will be congested, they'll zone in ahead of time. This will cause the area to become congested even earlier. The FATEs have notices about starting times several hours in advance.

Yeah, maybe about 10-20 mins earlier and also most people are not going to know it's congested. I was in one where the spawn was about 45mins away and it wasn't congested then. However, regardless you'll just have to play smart around it. I am sure the guy you mentioned in your example was simply caught off the guard but I am sure next time he'll play around that issue.

Lol, firmament in my data center practically congested 1 hour prior FATE. In addition, all those wanderer do nothing. People who want just to craft for turn in locked.

Practically what they (SE) should do, they need to 0 FATE reward for wanderer, thus only native will compete with each other. But in order to make people from other server to help small sever, multiply the turn in reward if wanderer help them to progress. In addition, SE can put the turn in NPC outside firmament.

PISSED I CANT GET IN MY OWN SERVER AND 1/2 HOUR BEFORE THE FATE IS UP.

HEADS SHOULD ROLL FOR THIS BIG CLUSTER OF A MESS!!!

Forget 30 minutes: you now can't even get in 60-90 minutes before the thing get's full on Moogle. In other words, unless you get in just as the project was completed you have no chance. This is the worse server event content I've taken part in. Even though I help stockpile for it I can't do the FATE. Whatever progress my realm makes - I don't proud of it or like I've contribute to it. Me and many on my realm are stuck outside of it. I'm just being used as a grunt whilst people from other realms get all the rewards.

The timer just started on Exodus.. I'd really like to go out and gather for the next stage, but I know I won't get back in if I do, so I AFK for an hour.
Someone said you can run duties and remain here, but I don't trust that I'll be allowed back in if it's full when I try to return.

I've tested it and you get put back into the Firmament upon completing a duty. I can't confirm that it would work every time, but the times I've done it and seen others mention it, they get put back in.
