Adding more Instances to the Island of Blessing event.

[KradThgink13]

I think another thing that needs more space since the Servers were merged is the Island of Blessing's Teams' Starting Zones. I just go lagged out during the beginning of the event, because it was too overcrowded... They need to add at least two more Instances to just the Team Zones.

Adding more Instances to the Island of Blessing event.

Today, I was in the Island of Blessing event with 2 of my chars and right after the Blessing Rain began, suddenly both of my chars started to lag, because the Team Zone was overcrowded, since the servers were merged, and both of my chars lagged so bad, that they both lost connection to the game.

With all that being said, I think R2 should add at least two more Instances to Team Zone A and B, so there is more space to reduce lag and lag outs during the event. I hear a lot about people, talking about lagging out of the event and this is only one attempt per day for IoB... so people get very upset, since they really need everything from that event to progress.

If you think they should add more Instances to Zone A and B or if they add one Instance to the Battlefield area also or if you think it isn't needed. Please post your opinion on the poll and leave a comment if you want to.

Thank You, Krad!

Did both your chars enter too quickly? And did both have invisable players on, to get your chars in safely get one in and then the other having already paced the other. It's laggy but adding instances would open the event to further alt abuse which is what R2 are attempting to prevent!

I had both of my chars with hide players on, so it still lagged even with everybody else hidden. Also it doesn't make a difference whether they add instances or not, people bring a bunch of chars into IoB all the time anyway... I mean I bring 2 chars in IoB every time I can play the event, since all the packs have very small amounts in them and I can't be on everyday for the event... but I don't get greedy by bring in more than 2 chars...

I've never seen anything against using more than 1 char to play in CS anyways... and if there is, well then you'd have a lot of people to tell then... everybody knows in this game you need more than 1 char to get anywhere... but I can imagine that it is unfair, if someone brings in 4 or 5 chars into a collecting event like IoB.

I think, since adding 2 instances to the team's zones is too much, maybe we should just add 1 instance to both Zone A and Zone B...

That way there enough space for all the added server's players, but not too many to the point people can bring a bunch of alts in.

And I agree with Krad. I see a bunch of people bring in 2-3 characters into Island of Blessing and I haven't seen anything against it, unless its hidden somewhere in the terms.

Adding instances wouldn't promote "alt abuse". The issue revolving around alt abuse was addressed with the binding of most the items many months ago.

hm.. idk guys

if there would be more instances to avoid huge lags. What are both in the battlefield and zones as well...
Im not sure for what to vote. I can only say if iob will be less laggy i will surely welcome it so much but im just not sure if there is needed more instances for it.
:X

Yeah the battlefield may be a problem, what they should do is just add another map like Zone A Rest Stop which you can enter near the bottom right of the map? I duno :P

I knew that choice would be the least popular one, but I decided to add it anyway to give people three choices. lol

Or. They could just change it so that you don't get kicked out if you dc. That way, people wouldn't mind if they lag as much because they could always refresh and still be in.
I don't understand why that happens anyways, completely unfair. Especially if you're one of the ones helping collect, and you lag while going from zone to zone.

IoB is basically unfair all around anyway. It's always the ones lazying around that obtain more stuff, while the ones doing the actual labor barely scrape anything

I'm pretty sure players who lounge around and players who collect (given they mind the timer) obtain equal amounts of packs per day. If you are collecting and not "scraping anything", I suggest you rethink the way you participate.

More instances in your zone would be great, but more instances for the battlefield wouldn't really work- they would have to force all the stones to spawn on L1 or they would end up making twice as many stones spawn, which would mean both teams would hit purple at the same time. That means everyone would be going to L1 to collect anyway, and L2 would just force people to change out of it sometimes when they went in and it was crowded.

[KradThgink13]

Well by the look of the poll, 67% agree, the Island of Blessings should get more 1 or 2 more instances in Zone A and Zone B.

I mean people shouldn't have to worry about lagging out and do all kinds of stuff, like hide players, reduce players shown and all that non-sense stuff and hope they don't get disconnected, in an event like IoB, since its a 1 attempt per day event.

If there was more Instances, everybody wouldn't have to worry about lagging out and missing out on Blessing Rain.
