Congested area, can't do restoration

[Dalex]

I just got home from work, I was really excited about taking part in this, but I cannot even get to the Firmament to finish the dang opening quest. Tons of people from Jenova and other servers blocking us out, and heck, there might even be too many people on Midgardsormr trying to participate in a limited zone, too.

I love you FFXIV team, I love this game, but please fix this.

I was in the Firmament but I couldn't even do a damn thing in there because the first thing that you're supposed to interact with never showed up on my screen and yet the other interactions all showed up. As a result, I didn't even get a chance to participate in the damned thing and lost out on the scripts.

People from Faerie and Gilgamesh were on Sarg saying that since they were blockaded out of their FATE it wasn't their fault they were blockading people out of ours.

That is SE for you they never plan ahead and never think about what might happen and adjust for it. Really wish they get new young blood to take over ffxiv then maybe wouldn't have all these problems.

Tbf that DID happen on Faerie, because a lot of Cactuar and Gil people were hogging spots. But that doesn't make what they did any better, since then Sarg suffers.

This is the largest thread on Ishgard Restoration’s issues lets keep this one bumped, posting, and active since large threads tend to get dev response more than a bunch of small threads.

I'm not one to normally post on forums or even complain about things like this, but I'm angry about this. Missing out on your own server's ONE TIME EVENT because people are raiding your server for scripts and exp... I just wanted to experience this and now I feel I have to be in at least 30-45 mins before the event will start just to participate..

I really hoped that the restoration mechanism wouldn't end up something real-timey just like this, because it's an one time event. For what it looks like, the other servers will just continue spamming the fates day and night - and as others already stated, those who don't hog the game 24/7 will not only miss out a huge chunk on XP/scrips, but also probably eventual cutscenes that might occur for upcoming stages - exactly because those random spawned fate timers.
