krisagi Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 As the title says please remove the instance depopulating feature from the game. I am tired of logging into a planet that has 157 people on Instance 1 but am unable to transfer to Instance 2 because of this warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xordevoreaux Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 It's possible EA can tweak server load balancing, but server load balance mechanics aren't there just to irritate or inconvenience you. Sharding of zones is never perfect in any game, but understand what's happening: the server load is moving down, not up, and the load balancing is adjusting for it. Closing that zone is part of it. People constantly hopping into a closing shard doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Im not talking about KS'ing. Im talking about going to an area and seeing no quest npcs to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of that inconvenience, I suffer it myself, especially when trying to get 15 guys dead on the bonus while obtaining the clinic pass key on Coruscant for a heroic. That's more easily handled by instancing the heroics -- adding a green wall at the start of the heroic area since it's used for nothing else but that heroic. That and other places, such as in the Sith Temple on Korriban, two heroics which have been mentioned frequently on the forums that they're in need of instancing.

Not sure if you're aware of it but, if there are still people in that instance, you can ask one of them for help. When you group up with someone, you should then be able to travel to their instance even when it's depopulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? The Korriban H2s have been instanced for ages and ages. And there *isn't* a Sith Temple on Korriban, or at least not one we can get to. You're probably thinking of the ONE problematic one in the Dark Temple on Dromund Kaas, "Possessed Hunter" with one guy to kill who has a long (much shorter now) respawn time. The other DK H2s are no more than "annoying" because stuff respawns reasonably quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And despite his shorter respawn time, people still refuse to group and it's standing room only if there's no other map to jump to. That heroic is definitely in need of instancing behind a green wall.
