So, Velious picks have Cap Limits again.. why?

Can't zone more than 90 into an instance again in Velious.. thought we learned this was a bad thing in Kunark/Classic =/

WTB Fix.

Yeah its a bad idea ...
Some zone need to have the limit removed

Bump.

This is seriously going to be a big issue.

Any kind of response from devs on this issue would be nice. This is seriously annoying when players are forced to sit raidtargets out because the zone is full..

You'll probably have to suffer 2 months until Phinny breaks the system. Since the instances can only be entered via the AoC in the main pick, no spawned picks, AND the pop is higher... you can probably guess. 90 people raiding WW dragons in the main pick and blocking any entry into TOV or Zland instances will be trollarious.

Devs are all too busy with drunken gnome races. They'll get back to you when the 17th Anniversary event is over.

Yea how are we supposed to kill open world raid targets if we cant zerg it with 250 people?

More like, how are you supposed to kill open world targets when there is a limit of 84 and there are already several groups in there.

Or you want to pass through WW to NToV and can't because a guild already has 80+ people in WW!

You should be able to move through in another pick.

Maybe, just maybe the problem is the 3 different guilds in the same zone, not 250 people from 1 guild zerging one mob?

So.... what has been killed so far (boss-wise) with these zone caps in place?
Just curious how much these zone caps are slowing/stopping server progression.

Well, Darkwind have killed Klandicar Zlandicar, Sontalak, Wuoshi, Vindicator (in Skyshrine), King Tormax, Vindicator (in Kael), Kelorek Dar, Telkorenar, and possibly more and are still going.

The only one I saw a serverwide message for was King Tormax.

DW went to Kael earlier, but couldn't do much because Tempus were attempting Vindicator there, so it has caused some issues already.

King Tormax might have taken less time had more people been able to zone in, too. Darkwind had more people wanting to join in who couldn't because of the caps.

There are other serious side effects to the population limits on picks as well.

For instance, I got rez'ed, but the game decided to rez me into another pick because the one I was in was full. Naturally being rezzed into the middle of an uncleared pick was a wonderful way to lose a corpse worth of experience, and be completely separated from my entire raid in NTOV and back at bind, far far away.

NTOV has a limit of 80ish right now it seems. All you need is a couple other groups trying to zone in, and you're in for a good time!

Whomever thought this was a good idea as obviously not planning on playing this game themselves.

...what?

this thread is best read with the song "Trippin down the freeway" by Weezer playing.

No kidding. Vindicator, in Skyshrine. Apparently the giants won.

That's fuckin hilarious.

Everything else was how you'd expect, just Derakor the Vindicator where Yelinak should be. No idea how that could happen.

Thank you for beta testing this for Phinigel.
