for sake of playability, please cap number of people in a zone at a time

[Xmbei]

smn/acn/sch/minions don't bother me so much as the amount of people that summon and bring their Chocobo's out into fates, Doing Svara fate I had like 10 people summon their chocobo and Svara disappeared off my screen. Why must we need the chocobo's when we already have a mob of people fighting the boss.

FFXI had a cap on zone in besiege so it's not unheard of. like 600 ish.

As for mob going invis because so many people.

SE should make draw order.
yourself.
your party, raid party
Your pets
Mobs.
Other party members pets.
Other PCs

Would be a bad idear, so no thank you.

[Tristaris]

Nah this sounds bad. Might as well just put them in DF if you go this route.

Then they should put them in DF, because holy hell I think we messed something up on hyperion when behemoth spawned.

Have a slightly bigger zone ring outside the odin fate ring that only allows 45-50 lvl characters to enter.

@OP if they implement this next post of yours wiill be."OMG SE you give us world bosses but not everyone can participate to kill them!.FIX THIS ASAP!"

wanna bet?

[GilbertLapine]

e.g. when Behemoth or Odin spawn, practically the whole server runs over to participate, resulting in amazing lag. tons of people disconnect, you can't see anything, everybody dies, and you can't return, you just get stuck in limbo. So please, cap the number of people that can enter the zone. Not everyone may get to participate, but at least the people who are there can actually play.

I made a similar suggestion ingame a while ago. Instead of denying access, the zones are semi-instanced to multiple copies and players are split among them, so 200 players in the zone could be split into two groups of 100, each group in their own copy of the zone. Party members would always enter the same copy.

Of course there is a problem where you theoretically could keep transitioning between zones to fight, for example, two behemoths in a single day, so some time based lockouts would be needed.

[Sargon]

OP you're right on the problem but the solution you're offering is not acceptable.
I hope they find a way to fix these events I didn't test myself yet, preferably fixing them as they are, and in the worst case making them instanced, but not certainly not by locking the zone when it's full...

I'd reorder it depending on class. Your order sounds great for a healer, but as a DPS I honestly don't care where my party is as long as they're alive and I can see them on the map.

Would definitely like to see myself and the mob first.
