Eternal Bond Reservation - Broken

[ZephyrAM]

It was just released. Like any other new feature, it will be hard to use for awhile, as 'everyone' is clamoring for it, and with it's limited time slot nature, even more so.

Give it a couple weeks. It'll get easier.

Why dont they start doing this with every bit of content then. Let's see how frustrating the game is when only 1 party in the entire server can be in a coil..

You have what happened in the beta, with that one instanced MSQ fight. People lined up and waited their turn on the server I was on, and someone even made an LS and invited everyone waiting to it.

It's not really broken though. The problem is (in my opinion anyways) that it is new content that many thousands of players have been waiting for for months. Therefore, the site is being flooded with requests all at once. It's like people waiting on a Black Friday sale. When the doors open, everyone rushes in and many get trampled. Just be patient and everything will work out.

It just doesnt make sense that the servers can handle a basically unlimited amount of dungeon instances, but it can only support 1 wedding instance every two hours.

Having multiple wedding instances would actually be more difficult to implement than simply queing for a dungeon because the guests also have to be programmed to go to their proper instances even if they arrive late. So it would be harder to implement than the current preformed party que.

You can edit your posts to go over the caps. Also they kinda had to have some form of registration system so that way your guests could attend. Including multiple chapels in each of the city states might have alleviate some of the registration stress but they'd have to commit more resources to make that happen. FFXIV developers always seem to go the cheap route either because they think they can get away with it or that they underestimated the appeal of their product similar to what happened during game launch.

This doesn't make sense either. So the guests can attend?

/fc "Hey everyone, we plan on having our wedding tonight at 8PM. Come see us for an invitation."

You hand out invitations to people and the couple says "Hey everyone, we are going to start the wedding. Please start making your way over to Sanctum of the Twelve."

The 2 hour segment really has nothing to do with scheduling the time for guests to attend.

If guests couldn't attend they could have just shown a cutscene and then the couple would just appear outside the door of chapel similar to what would happen for a quest. However since guests can attend the whole duration of the wedding a time slot has to be booked for each individual couple so their particular guests can come to their ceremony.

People wanted SE to use instancing less, so SE implemented Eternal Bond without any instancing at all. Once again the moral of the story is be careful what you wish for.
