People are forming actual queues to get through an early Raubahn instance. This is the line on Zodiark.

So is it actually broken or just congested? Do I just keep trying to get into the instance until it lets me in?

Just like dungeon instances, the instances these fights take place in are finite.

It's just congested.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
Did a Feast, got 170k exp. Worse for the time spent than a frontline, but not a bad change of pace. Would probably be a blast queueing with friends and dunking on rando pubs.

Holy poo poo is PvP intense now though. Every action feels really weighty, you actually gotta think if you need to throw that Stone and help kill a dps or throw out a cure and save your pubs. Every GCD matters.

yeah this, there's several servers per datacenter and several instances per server, there's no way to get everyone into a line, much less a single one.

Seriously, just do other poo poo in the meantime or hammer the NPC. Chances are they'll need to reset servers to fix this issue eventually anyway.

Same on Odin at least in my instance, it's amazing. There are hundreds of people in the line, I've never seen anything like it.



For reference, this is how long it is on the map. Actually took a while to find the end.

Maybe I should be happy I'm at work during all this first-day congestion. Then again, I can't imagine there's going to be a ton of demand for 2.x and Heavensward MSQ instances, so by the time I get to Stormblood I should be fine. It'll just be the job quests that I have trouble with. (Unless all solo instances share the same limit? I actually have no idea how this works.)

What's looking like the fastest way to get the new classes to 60? Is it pvp/fates instead of potd?

it's literally anything except fates, probably. 10 fates is the same exp as 1 frontline... 1 frontline takes 15 minutes at most. :thunk:

Oh and tip, you can hold X on the pc (dunno on ps4) to hide player names. If you bound x to something else its listed as filter target under system. Lets you see NPCs that everyone is crowdinw around.

Has anyone done a controller setup for their RDM? It feels like it should be super-easy to do what with having three discrete sets of moves and procs (melee, white, black) but I've never tried a controller.
