Field Instances

[HulveinBlitz]

Upon walking/running into Dragonhead, Sea of Clouds, and Western Highlands.. you will be presented with an option of which map to join. I.e. Sea of Clouds 1, 2, 3 or 4. Same for the others mentioned.

This is their way of easing congestion. If you teleport in, you risk not being in the same map as your party/gf/bf etc etc. If you walk, you can pick.

They will release a topic detailing which servers will have this feature implemented, and it is temporary. They will be monitoring if they need to add this to worlds not listed, and when they can safely remove it. They hope its not buggy etc.

It's a pretty great idea, really.
It's a lot like the housing wards, so not super complicated.

I only want to know if hunt marks will have multiple instances of themselves in these zones.

[Chukkaque]

Its smart. Guild wars did this and it was good.

[MoonPhaseAlpha]

Very smart to do.

[Hayward]

This sounds like a good idea. Not sure if Adamantoise is big enough to warrant it but it's certainly shows the developers are learning from past experience.

AH! I forgot about it!

[SkyfangRauss]

i believe these are called 'shards'

and since ff is all about those crystals, this terminology is super appropriate
