Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

What’s interesting with the numbers posted earlier for NA is they matched as far as I could imagine with my DC in that similar servers were around the 30% mark, high pop servers around the 40% mark. So the pacing seems to be the same for population size. So I don’t feel like we are slower and if we are we were all slowed to the same rates if that makes sense

FYI, one hour before FATE, Balmung is already congested even without world visit. So really amazing fix, locking out the actually active people interested in content.

my world isn't even getting any more progress without it we would've loved ur guy's help.

If the population cap isn't going to be increased in the Firmament with the area now locked to home-worlders only, can we please have a Potkin-NPC outside that can accept turn ins? I dunno how tough it'd be to code this, but it'd be nice to be able to continue turn ins even while the zone is locked down while people wait for fates.

If the Firmament is going to continue to be locked to Wanderers, we really need to bring back the AFK kick timers.

Being locked out while a ton of people are AFK inside is frustrating. At least before, I could just go to another server and do the FATE there, but now I can't even do the FATE at all thanks to the lockdown on World Visits and AFKers.

Multiple instances need to be implemented, or a timer needs to be implemented. High-pop servers' Firmaments are still getting congested hours before a concerted work due to people AFKing in the instance.

Agreed. There's a huge mass of people AFK at the builder's board here on Balmung who haven't moved for hours and who are keeping people from even zoning in to do turn ins. Having an NPC outside the Firmament or even just a re-instituted AFK kick timer would go a long way to ensure the people clogging the area for the sole purpose of doing the Fate aren't preventing people who genuinely want to do the turn-ins from doing so.

We need either:
1. More instances for that single zone.
2. The AFK timer to stick around for another patch.
3. A turn in NPC outside.
4. Or all of the above.

Locked out of the firmament due to congestion. Please consider opening multiple instances. At the very least, I would like to do turn ins and buy stuff from the scrip vendor from outside the firmament if its going to be locked at peak hours.

[ChrisBabaganoosh]

The AFK timer would do nothing because they could just start crafting and sit on the craft doing nothing to bypass the timer. This has been a common way to beat the timer forever now.

I see what I predicted would happen is already happening on Balmung. Now I hope some that were blind to this would see why locking was just a terrible band aid solution. This is worse than Ixion camping, since people already know when the FATE will start so they will just camp the zone.
