Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

[LeCard]

From my experience and reading the comments, kill the FATE idea. Right now the short duration and need to be present until the end inherent in the FATE system is causing the problems.

Instead, set a minimum completion number with no maximum length, but a minimum time of 24 hours open. Once it starts everyone gets to hand in up to X per day until the minimum turn-ins and minimum 24 hrs have been reached. Smaller worlds may take an extra day to clear the event but at least everyone would have a chance to contribute and get the reward.

By making the length long enough that anyone can participate at their leisure and limiting the interaction with the event to X turn-ins it removes the incentive to clog the zone. Crafters could still get rewards from normal turn-ins during that time and when they log in for the day get a chance to enjoy the event.

Or change the visual progression of the zone to a personal milestone, allowing players to experience the building after congestion eases up.

Best solution is as follows:

1) Firmament FATES give no scrip rewards for world visitors.

2) Worlds give scrip bonuses to world visitors for all other scrip-earning activities on a sliding scale based on each servers' crafting population. Example: Spriggan and Twintania (new servers with low crafting populations which are already falling behind the other servers on their respective clusters) might give a 50% scrip bonus for meaningful work done by world visitors. Leading servers would give no scrip bonuses, other worlds in-between might give 25% bonus to world visitors.

This, I think would generate the desired assistance from world visitors and not just FATE leeches.

Fate should give no rewards to wanderers until a world actually fails a fate - and then it'll only apply to that world. They could get a special status on the restoration progress page. The only wanderers who would be there would be people who actually want to help out.

Just disable it for everyone and enable it for a datacenter when half the DC reached the end.

Then it is really a server race and after everything is finished we can help the smaller server.

Also set every progress back to start and restart this whole thing without world visit.
It's still time for it.

1200 people is certainly a lot better than 400. I think an instance holds that many. If 3 isn't enough then add more but i suspect after the first week they'll be a lot less people but I could be wrong.

If they add more instances, I reckon that the world visit function will be further abused than it already is. This is what happend to the hunting community, this will happen with the Firmament as well.

I think it's possible that if they had multiple instances, they would behave independently and handing in items to instance 1 wouldn't progress instance 2's stockpile.

For comparison, field zone instances had separate hunt marks and FATE timers.

I honestly believe this would be the solution for this communist utopia the devs envisioned this to be

Here is a possible fix im curious if anyone thought of it but how bout oh idk adjust the requirements for completion based on server population. i mean kinda the way they adjust fate difficulty by how many people are doing it. TBH there is no reason why people need to go off server to others to congest it. I don't care for it i do turn ins thats it but i know there are a lot of people out there that want to do it for immersion sake and do it issue free. I mean the response they gave about knowing the risk but decided to take no action to help prevent it is disrespectful. thats a consistent attitude you see in a lot of the shit they do. look at vierra and Buff Cats, still not having head gear. 1st i appreciate them going back and remodeling pieces so they could have some head gear i give them the benifit of the doubt that it was hard to get it all done BUT thats not a get out of jail free card. 1st off ALL mogstation items should have had priority cause people spent real money to support the game other than subscription time. 2nd CURRENT GEAR meaning EVERY NEW HEADPIECE GOING FORWARD should 100% be done for vierra and buff cat there is no excuse that courtesy inst extended to new shit that should be being made. this is the attitude taken towards a lot of shit in this game, half assed....

They just announced that they are going to restrict access to the Firmament to Home Worlds.

Did no of the DEVs came with the idea by adding a limited amount of slots for world visit people for the Ishgardian Restoration?
