Disgusted with Ishgardian Restoration

[Anselmet]

While I agree with op something needs to happen such as adding instances, please all of you, just join the Ishgardian Restoration discord. It has timers for all servers listed that way if you miss out on your own server you can then feasibly go to another world 30mins to an hour ahead of time and wait. While having to plan and waste time waiting sucks, it at least will allow you the opportunity to at least participate in fates and gather the scrips and exp.

Problem is how fast it actually is going. Already at stage 2.

I imagine it'll die down significantly as people get all the Skybuilder Scrip exclusives and realize that there isn't really much going on with it besides farming those.

Unless there is more significant stuff with further stages (I'm a poor EU pleb), you can pretty much get the exact same experience as the FATE from simply visiting the zone before and after. It's 500 free Scrips and an "Interact with A, then B, then C" level FATE. Not exactly a groundbreaking gaming experience... Honestly I get more of a feel for what happens from reading the flavour text left on the board (which anyone can go back and read) than I did from actually participating...

Do you have a link to the discord?

Unfortunately, it's currently the most gil efficient way to get materia (it's more turnins than white scrips, but uses fewer mats useful elsewhere), so until the price for those craters, crafting the top level turnins is going to remain viable, which will include the duration of the currently implemented restoration steps.

Ugh, just read Jenova's is locked down from congestion. Just remember this is the first day this has been out, so hopefully the devs will do some proactive changes to lighten the load on things.

Siren's was locked down as well, filled with people saying we shouldn't be entitled to the event on OUR server and gloating about locking people out of their own server's area...this has brought out the worst in some people and I hope SE does something to prevent this from happening like they should have in the first place.

If people are gloating in-game and making it clear they're doing this to inconvenience others, report them. The GMs' hands seem to be tied if they've said nothing and could be there innocently, but they can act on what the person has said.

The problem is not always getting there in time, but also the sheer volume of people occupying the instance. I was stuck inside for 35 minutes and when the fate started, there were so many characters that even the culling wasn't enough, thus the FATE objects didn't even load on my screen, preventing me from doing it at all.

It was a horror show.

And I think these events shouldn't be cross server. At all.

Thankfully, it seems there IS kind of a gating to the hand-ins/fate spawning in some way. (Note: Malmstone reached)
Still, I'm not very happy about this implementation, it really could've been better done.

I wanna do this but I also don't wanna be part of the problem.
