Gold Saucer is congested? Seriously?

[Ulathskullsplitter]

The problem is players are AFKing in Golden Saucer so they don't have to leave thus causing the server congestion.. I see at least 5 people on my Friendslist who are AFK in Gold Saucer..

Yup exactly what I was going to say. I left gold saucer and logged off earlier. Now to get back i had to spam the airship person for 10 mins. Now im here and it looks like at least half the people here are AFK. Same thing happened when the game launched. People were so afraid if they logged out they wouldnt be able to log back in, so nobody logged out making the problem even worse. SE had to implement auto kick for afk to fix it.

SE utilized it in 1.0 and it was horrible because you couldn't see more than 30 or so retainers at once in the market ward. It was creepy as heck for them to fade in and out as you walked down the hallway.

A graphical render limit has absolutely nothing to do with phasing or sharding. It also has absolutely nothing to do with server load and congestion.

A que pop window would be helpful instead of spamming this crap at least if they're not going to AFK kick.

Duty finder pop for GS even. This is insane ;/

Not their fault that 5k+ people are all trying to access the area at once lol.

It can only hold so much. Would you rather them limit it and people be able to actually do things? Or not limited and watch it crash every 5 minutes from to much happening. Then even more people would be complaining lol

You know. A thing called instancing exists.

[UnrealTai]

Heres a thought, what happens if you DF while in GS and then end DF, do you just get kicked offline after the duty ends ?

Needs to be a auto afk kick in place for those afk'ers in Gold Saucer. Maybe kick them back to where they teleported in from. Not fair for those that are trying to get into the Gold Saucer that want to play.

[Battlewrench]

Full circle. Back to the auto kick function discussion.

[Lynny]

its feeling pretty laggy everywhere too.

AFK boot is required in golden saucer and add a queue to enter it when congested. The queue to enter area when congested is much much better than spam teleport or airship system to enter and cause stress on the server

Yep basically what is happening now is this...

Give it about 3 weeks or 6 weeks to settle down.
