What is the news with server updates....Full group and still 30+ min to enter..fail

[Austin]

Fix is coming mid October ... Don't you all read dec updates?

[AridElf]

Don't make excuses for them...I know why it is like it is...I also know its BROKEN and needs to be fixed.

It's not broken, it's hundreds / thousands of people spamming AK to cap their Myth tomes on the first day after the cap reset. Calm yourself and stop throwing the word 'broken' around like it's going out of fashion, just do it another day or wait out the queue time, get over yourself.

Now keep in mind that the world server is unstable over 8000 people. Then do you really expect the server for a single instance to service 100,000 people simultaneously? And there's more than this instance being run.

I think you'll find that each dungeon has it's own instance server and queue which is shared between 4 servers. Your numbers are way too high. Each instance server should only have to deal with 32000 players at a maximum, and there's no way that limit would be reached.

In reality they should be able to pull some capacity off the other dungeons (anything below WP really) and assign the capacity to the high demand instances. Doesn't seem like they have the mechanism in place to do this though.

Did you even bother to read the whole 10 posts in this thread? If you had you'd see that this is a problem all week for some servers.

To those who are trying to talk sense to op. Let's ignore this post.

You have misunderstood too. I'm well aware of when the tome reset is and how it impacts the number of people wanting AK.

Again, WRONG TIME OR DAY is just an excuse. The minimum level of server capacity to provide an adequate experience for the majority of players (i.e. during JP prime time) isn't being met.

There is no good period for me, at least not when I can play during the week. It's always horribly slow to get an instance.

You are confusing "exuse" and "explanation". Yeah, you are a client, you have paid some money, but it doesn't mean all things will go well now (in a real world at least). So. Topic started asked "how will they fix this". The answer has been given - via the additional dungeons the devs are gonna implement.

"Not good enough" is my response. I'll just leave it at that.

Another 6-8 weeks of horrible wait times will drive people away from the game. It's in SE's best interests to fix it ASAP without relying on the crutch of more dungeons.

The akeep queue is high all week during na prime time.

Yes I can read, and I did, thank you for assuming I have basic skills. Maybe it's just more common on more popular servers, as common sense would suggest. There's been no issues in the DF pool that my server belongs to, and Behemoth can get pretty crowded at times.

They can do a quick patch to change mob placement and behavior to stop speed runs.

They could easily do a quick patch that adds myth tomes to WP, up the tomes dropped by primals, etc. to give people more options for obtaining them if they don't have the capacity to handle everyone having to do the one dungeon that drops them. They're capped at 300 a week anyway, so what's it matter? 35 from WP, 10 (15?) from ifrit, 20 from garuda, 30 from titan. Boom, super easy fix.
