Ishgard restoration missed opportunity.

[TwiibieTwuu]

Should of made it like the Moogle/Namazu beast tribes.

Make it tied to individual progress similar to the beast tribes so when a new player starts the whole place isn't finished. They won't miss out.

Keep the whole "community does this much" until the next stage is unlocked. Could be like a community version of the reputation system.

So when the server reaches "this much has been done" the next quests unlock. Doesn't change the world for you until the quest is completed. Just like how the beast tribe zone changes when you finish a quest.

Otherwise alotta people are gonna miss out. Especially because all the instances are getting flooded.

The event is temporary right? With the way its set up people who don't participate and miss their chance are just out of luck. sometimes u get it sometimes u get got. Its a server effort, so it works better with how they have it set up

But then how would you handle the people who have houses there? People who haven't even finished the event could have an FC that has a house there.

Its a server event. Players shouldn't think of it like MSQ. Once Ishgard is rebuilt its rebuilt.

The design flaws with the Ishgard rebuild such as allowing wanderers into the Firmament are a big issue however.

Swing and a miss - just like NG+. Was looking forward to both of these features when they were announced - and both have failed miserably.

It's not a server effort anymore, when people from other servers can push your homeworlds Ishgard progression with their hand'ins and fate spawning.

They shouldnt do this as a "server effort" thing, what about the ppl who work 8 hours/day and got only 2-3h to play on weekdays(if they lucky). I just resubbed after 3 months to check the new things, honestly i didnt expect much from this ishgard thing and still disappointed.

This is exactly why I would have favored the usual Doman Reconstruction method. You can still have the "server race" set on which reached the weekly milestone first.
But this implementation is just stressful and disadvantageous towards people with working or other IRL related hours, as you already stated. I mean, what did the devs expect? Call in sick / play hickey just to be world first for a game event?

This so much. I won't have time to even get there for days still, I imagine so many phases will have gone by by then that I will have missed a load already. I guess it's an event for full-time players only.

They should separate each ward restoration, and open them at a later time (One ward per month, for example), so that people coming late will still have something to do, especially if, once you've helped for a restoration, you can't claim back the same rewards.
