Theoretically, you could all stay on the same island, as long as parties weren't hitting each others mobs. This way, you'd only have a very short 5-10 second flight to wherever the tracks were.
I would take a short flight with this method over the old way any day. Last time I hit Dino Island in HM post adjustment we saw one gold, and out of two stars (meteor dino both times) we only managed to kill one of them before parties started timing out and we didn't have anyone to handle adds...
TLDR: This works if people call out tracks, but many aren't.
I agree that this is the best method if different groups work together. However many parties are afraid of not getting credit so they don't /shout out star rank mobs or they /yell to another party they've teamed up with. I've been many times and see it to often if I'm on Ptero island of people saying don't /shout next time 'blah blah blah'.
It's true that under the old system there was usually a full zone with 9 parties and it was harder to get credit. Now with only 5-6 parties in a zone even during prime diadem times it is much easier to meet the DPS threshold. Last run we had a DPS D/C early and only missed out credit on one star that wasn't shouted out and we came across when it was a little over half health.
got it right. What he meant to say (i believe?) was
"TLDR: This works if people call out tracks AND wait to give others a chance while reducing their own"
Absurd expectation. Dont split the farm. Efficient farmers miss credit because of
1. Ninjapops
2. Splits
3. Split ninjapops
... (pulled adds who do sleep/para/death, provoke)

How many chests did you guys get? We found that the best run we had was with 5 groups all farming the same 3 isles with the V's (pteros and pelican + Celphie while waiting for ptero) I don't think your method is the best as I've already tried that in many other Diadems and what happens is people pop the S rank early or flight time is too much of a time waste.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who gets tracks, its still better to stay together.
with 5 groups doing this, we were able to get 10 NMs, and that was with the first 20 minutes wasted trying to figure things out. So I think it could have easily been 11.
What people are starting to do is farm the pteradons that are rank V they spawn in the western part of Diadem and they're really easy mobs to kill we got 11 gold chests that night with my FC.
Pros: Mobs don't do any nasty mechanics, just a small tiny circle aoe and a cone line, you follow a circle pattern so once you finish the pattern there's always one up all the time, virtually no down time.
Cons: Only works if people are communicating together, people don't know the route and get lost as ones up really high in the sky, if someone ninja pulls an NM on a small island you're basically screwed having to deal with 2 NM monsters.
We tried Celphie island to compare mob kill times and we got 3-4 chests more than what we'd usually get in a night, the best run on Celphie island I had was maybe 8 chests. Last week through Ptereadons we got 12 chests.
