What the hell is it with instances?!

[Avatre]

it hasn't been game-breaking.

Exactly! It's like a mosquito bite. A slight irritant.

They probably didn't have the time or resources to make it lochs only. It's a quick fix to address the Ixion situation. I'm sure they will look into a per zone system in the future but Yoshi only has so many dev resources to deploy. So it was: quick fix, no fix or fix it in patch 4.x

While not perfect, it addressed the immediate issue as quickly as possible. Let's be happy they were able to do what they did to address it.

You don't like round-the-clock hunts?

You don't like round-the-clock hunts?

Yeah, this is a benefit if you're in the hunt community!

[Avatre]

Kind of a double edged sword. Yes, more hunts. Yes more chance of people pulling before you can get there if you're in the wrong instance(which is their right to do, as it isn't against the ToS).
But, it is a risk that people will need to take.

3 a ranks? 3 foxes? 3 Ixions? I'll take it.

I could have sworn we were promised more resources when that godawful 15 finally came out. I guess not though.

I would care a lot less about instances if they didn't SPREAD PARTY MEMBERS ACROSS INSTANCES WHEN TELEPORTING TO A ZONE!!!!!!

THAT'S GOT TO BE THE STUPIDEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN IN A MMO

[Chocolys]

I'm glad the instances are back.

However I certainly don't like the way the members of a party can be teleported in different instances. That's annoying.

Players on big realms complaining about the Lochs. I wonder why they implemented instancing on all areas if the Lochs is the only one affected?

Think about the dev's past track record with "fixing" shit. You really are wondering? lmao
