Grand Companies

While I cannot divulge any new details related to the Grand Companies at this time, I can let you know that there is a Topics update about them scheduled to go live in the near future. (But when! I can't tell you! WHY! Because I don't want to promise a date that may slip! - We've done this dance before!)

Thanks for the reply Bayohne! So i see SE is withholding information on Grand Companies on purpose.. i wonder what kind of surprise you guys have in store for us.

Someone in the German forum asked if there would be a ticket-system for dungeons, to which a rep replied:

Ich habe neue Infos, die ich euch zu Mittag als Nachtisch servieren möchte. Es tauchte die Frage auf, ob es eine Art Reservierungssystem für die Instanz-Dungeons geben wird. Nach einigen Diskussionen hat sich das Entwicklungsteam dagegen entschieden. Es wird also heißen "wer zuerst kommt..."

He's basically saying that the devs decided against it and that it will be first come, first serve. So yeah, that's pretty much a confirmation that there will be limitations on how many parties can do them at the same time.

Break my heart Bayohne, it's okay.

That dance will never end

I hope there isn't a limit to how many players can be in a dungeon..otherwise they'll have some furious players on their hands. I know they did this type of thing with Limbus and Dynamis and such in FFXI, was always frustrating when you were about to do a Limbus run for the last piece you needed and had to wait until the other group was done first.

Yeah, and there you had many zones to choose from. Not to mention, lots of other things to do. We only get those two dungeons.

Hopefully, there will be more than a one-party limit. That would just be insane.

[Kailok]

I doubt it will be that much, but it might be limited until they figure out their server problems. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the decision they went for. Honestly, it'd be a death-sentence if they released those Dungeons and only 1 party was allowed to join at a time. I doubt that's how it's going to go down.

And thank you Bayohne! Appreciate you looking into this for us. Lookin' forward to Mon/Tues when the topics page will probably be announced!
