    PLEASE consider staggering weekly resets, so tired of 90k errors from server crashes

    Why not have Coil reset Monday, EX Primals and Tomes reset on Wed, and Crystal Tower reset on Fridays? At least then you don't have the ENTIRE server population all logging into instances at the exact same time.

    Optimally this would not be the best way to do things, but we are honestly 6 months out and STILL having problems that are causing week long lockouts & missed gear drops every week.

    I'd love this as well but personally, I'd just avoid doing those stuffs on reset days. EX primals on Tue/Wed, Coil on Thu does it for me.

    Or people could just not pick Monday to choose to want to do everything. I'm pretty sure this isn't the ONLY day that EVERYONE has available to do their weekly stuff.

    I find it laughable that you don't just not play on Mondays when the server is contested and instead ask the designers to change an entire system over something so trivial....
    What you are pretty much asking SE to do is "please change the game and tell everyone what to do on what day." ...

    Frankly, Monday congestion is the least of the game's worries at the moment.

    I 2nd staggering the weekly resets of content. Having it all on the same day not only congests the servers but it encourages people to only login on mondays burn the content and never return till next monday. Having weekly resets of content staggered would encourage an influx of people throughout the week and keep the community more lively throughout the week.

    TBH I liked how EQ did their lockouts. There was no "global reset" each event had a lockout timer. (most were 4.5 days. Some group stuff was 1 day etc etc)

    Given would require each event (or Turn in this case) to be separate which is already happening in 2.2 for 1-5. But instead of having a weekly reset for fights just making it a "you can only do this fight once every 7 days" would let people set their own schedules.

    Currency and such would still have to be a set day to make sense but that isn't really an issue.

    If you do not have a static and choose to wait a day or two to do content with a pick up group, you are usually left with the people that are FAR LESS CAPABLE. In the case of Coil T2, by mid week there's hardly any healers to even be had.

    Most Raid content in FFXI was on 72 hour timers or governed by charges (Tags for Assault on a 24hr recharge). If they used that method though we'd probably get all Coil loot each turn dropping out of one chest with the second chest only appearing 10% of the time.

    Staggered reset would be a good idea. It would also prevent the current phenomenon where the players who CAN play on Monday blast through all the content and then are bored all week.

    Not a bad idea. I also like the idea of timer lockouts too.
