    SE needs to implement queues for zones / instances

    Other than the queues to get into the game and actually play it, it is almost impossible to do any sort of hunts these days. Every single time an S rank or world-boss FATE gets called via Discord or a CWLS, I cannot get into the proper instance on my own server/world despite trying 50+ times at the aetheryte to get in. And if you fail to get in, you have to repeat the entire process of re-clicking on the dumb thing and going through the entire menu again. It's just like queues when Endwalker first dropped where if you got 2002'ed, you had to start the login process all over again. By the time it finally lets me it a zone, it's almost always because people have started leaving the zone because the mark is already dead.

    SE, fix your crappy game that is unable to handle even 150 people being in the same zone at once. Make a queue for zones/instances instead of just kicking players back and making them try to spam to get in. This is almost as ridiculous and stupid as your crappy housing system where players had to sit there and click on a placard for hours on end hoping they'd click on it at just the right time.

    Alright, now I'm ready for all the white knights to come defend this crappy game - please proceed!

    EDIT: For all of the folks who are saying this isn't an issue:

    Funny I was just in a CHI instance with 600 people...You know you could just get into a party instead of doing Hunts solo. It literally bypasses the Instance Congestion in favor of getting all party members together.

    So yeah it's probably a you problem.

    That was nuts. There were so many people on the platform the game would only render a fraction of them at a time. I did end up getting my mount though

    Participating in the NM FATE "Omicron Recall: Killing Order" and killing the boss "Chi" you will receive a number of Chi Bolts as a reward, depending on your FATE score (Gold rating = 6 bolts).
    This is a NM aka World Boss level FATE, so you need to have many full parties at L90 to kill it.
    For 12 of these bolts, you can buy the mount item Level Checker Identification Key from Nesvaaz in Radz-at-Han.
    This is for the mount Level Checker - https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts/268

    I wouldn't call it a "you problem". I don't like her comments about the game being crappy, but not getting into a zone to do hunts is a valid thing to be unhappy about. It's a basic feature that should be easier for all players to participate in.

    Sorry but this isn't really an issue. If you get into a party, you can get into the instance if even 1 person is in there. If you trying to solo hunts and having a bad time, using your brain alittle is free.

    Your suggested solution doesn't work at all. People throw up parties even if they aren't in the right zone/instance, and you have no way of telling until you join up (and even then you can't really tell - all you can ascertain is whether they're in the same zone as you are). So "duh huh huh uhh just join a party" is a really, really dumb suggestion. Also, who does hunts solo? You would only get tag credit and would not get any meaningful amount of tomes, nuts, etc. Of course we're doing it in a party. I really don't know how a queue system for entering zones would possibly be a bad thing (especially when the alternative is to have to sit at an aetheryte trying to click through the multi-step process of getting to the right instance a million times hoping that it'll let you in).

    Try using your brain a little bit, yeah?

    Iunno, I zoned into the final zone when it had over 500 people in it without a single "zone is full" message. Clearly they've upgraded the systems over the years. In stormblood, they could barely handle 2-300.

    The game has no idea what you are doing in any particular zone at any particular time. If you are going solo, obviously the game will put you into a zone without congestion. If you were in a party, the game tries to keep your party together, so if your leader is there ahead of the pack, you most likely get in. Obviously actual results may vary…

    There really isn’t anything more that can be done because as you said, assuming a zone queue existed, by the time it pops for you the mob is already dead.

    Moreover, this will not be a problem in a month or so when the “gotta have it now” crowd have already gotten whatever it is they want and hunts die down significantly.
