German Com rep response to "reservation system for dungeons".

[Dreadnought]

I don't see how that was confusing. Can someone explain that?

Seems pretty clear to me that you can't reserve spots in dungeons and the parties that get there first go in first...

the confusion is whether or not it really is gonna be a dynamis system all over again. first come first serve? dynamis was not a real instance which is why there was a first come first serve mechanic.
if they did that again, then itd be a dungeon stuck back in 2003.

edit.
do any of you know what instances actually are?
an instance is a virtual duplicate of a zone which is instantly made for you (and your group)
there is no one zone with a limit as to how many people can be in it forcing people to wait for their chance, its one zone duplicated to accomodate your group.
nothing in FFXI was actually instanced, some events were slightly phased and some just had multiple copies of that zone waiting to be occupied. thats why there were such restrictions in FFXI when it came to these events.
this is why what Yoshi said is confusing to me.
archaic technology says that FFXIV should more than have the capabilities to do an actual instanced zone which would not require any type of "first come first serve" or "wait list" due to maximum capacity reached, MMOs have had that technology for years now. if they create a limit as to how many instances that can be duplicated then it should only be a server stability issue, not the lack of the ability to do what FFXI couldnt.
there for, if FFXIV is unable able to create an actual instance then that means they do not have the technology to do so. and this is sad, very very sad.
