Basement Instance Limits

Currently, Holding events in large basements like city or castle arena basements is virtually impossible. Before it even gets to maybe 10 or 15 people in the instance, it then goes over to start a second instance for the basement.

This leaves an odd conundrum where portalarium has designed gigantic basements that visually beg for 50 maybe even 100 people to be present for events and gatherings.... yet functionally, we barely have enough people within the area for an event to fill a single bleacher.

This can be gotten around by inviting people to your party and then getting them to come back into the instance - but that solution becomes even more muddled especially after an event has already begun.

These limits need to be drastically raised.

 

On the upside, you can complete multiple brackets of a PVP tournament in parallel with multi-instanced basements!

 

The patch that we released this morning raised the limits for basements to be the same as towns.

 

Awesome! What's the current cap now on towns or wilderness scenes, btw?

 

64-128 for most towns and cities, 16 for wilderness scenes. Basements went up to 128 today.

 

I'd really like to see more than 64-128 people in ardoris, seems empty still. Is this a number that is consistently met?

 

Yeah, given the size of Ardoris along with its like 200 player homes, the limit should be in the many hundreds.

 

Are we pushing for a MMORPG now? Shroud of the WoWvatar!

 

It's all in the design. MMORPG doesn't have to be a dirty word

 

Ouch, so low?

And the overland? Just out of curiosity.

 

So low for the wilderness scenes in order that there's mobs & resources for you when you enter, The East Perennial Trail with half that number leaves little to do.

 

There will be single player modes, and there is multiplayer mode. Naturally, for multiplayer we want to ensure we can gather groups for the many plays, events, gameshows, tournaments etc that take place. Some want seclusion, others want to be a part of the community at large. This gmae will cater to everyone to some degree - it is not going to be a choice of one or the other. It was always meant to be like that.
