Cannot Connect To Salvage Or Nyzul

everything else in game is working fine, could do einherjar and other instanced stuff but any time i try to enter salvage or nyzul it thinks for almost a minute then says cannot connect to server.

any ideas?

If you are doing Bhaflau Remnants, it might be because a lot of people go there now (it's the new Arrapago). But good luck getting into Nyzul Isle during this event.

this is with nobody around trying to get in at the same time, btw. so that's not it thanks

Salvage or Nyzul? Nyzul is rarely empty currently.

Just sayin.

I've been trying to get into Silver Sea Remnants 1 on and off for the past 2 hours with no success. Something is definitely up.

Bots are spamming it since the sparks nerf, as well all knew would happen. You won't get in, they just spam it over and over constantly.

truth is Assura is getting too small to so many RMT

been trying for 6 hrs now, and no luck getting in :(

Salvage instances have been crashing on and off for the past few days on Asura (d/cing all characters in zone, not letting them log back in, etc). As others have said, super popualted by bots. No doubt SE will look at remedial action soon. Nyzul event probably isn't helping either.

I would be EXTREMELLY worried about this statement...

Their solution more than often hurt more real players than RMT and thats a fact.

A possible solution: a char just can do salvage zone once a day.

that would really hurt those that are trying to get their trials done tho sadly. I would say make it a que like ambu

Before the sparks nerf I did Salvage 3-4 times a day on Asura and literally never had to wait at all. On-top of not being able to get in they spam it so much that the price of a stack of alex has halved already, they literally just do it constantly. The price went form 1m a stack to 500-600k

They will address them botting Salvage soon, then they will move to Dynamis and then they will address that and then they will move to Ambuscade. Maybe they should of just let the dummies farm sparks...or address the reason people feel the need to buy gil?

It blew my mind they wanted to nerf sparks, it was obvious the botters would just become more annoying to make gil. They never considered they would just move to something else, that they would buy a script to farm salvage?

What they did is like going into the basement to gas the cockroaches and doing so just sent them all upstairs into the kitchen and living room.

Wouldn't surprise me if Salvage becomes once every 24 hours again, just like AR.


The price went to 1m a stack during the height of the crafting exploits; since that's mostly reigned in, there's not *as much* cheap gil in circulation.

Salvage bots were just as prolific before the sparks nerf.

Dynamis botting has been going on a lot longer and never got nerfed but Dynamis is also an open zone. No doubt Salvage remediation will happen long before anything changes with Dynamis because Salvage instances have a direct impact on server resources.

They'll fix the new problem they created in about 5 years. That's the normal time line. Please look forward to it.

I hope they lower the requirement to 1 chariot kill for mythic upgrades then.

Ya'll know the one zone is limited already, right?

I've already seen plenty in there, so that wouldn't be new.

doing a search of all 4 remnants zones doesn't show an overwhelming numbers of ppl running salvage, not sure it is rmt

It's already a thing if you need Armored Chariot clears.

what money is there to be made in there for RMT? farming alexandrites?

It started working again a few hours ago, so for all you people convinced it was the RMT boogeytman, it was not. it was just FFXI being broken like normal.

but thats exactly what a heavily breathing RMT would say when he realized his income source is in danger, again within a short span of time.

So dramatic. Everybody always points to RMT/botters being their problem but never SE's atrocious track record for things working properly.

20 people in Bhalfau Remants and the zones crash and people can't enter salvage again for 4 hours? That's 100% an SE problem.

i'm pretty sure you can check who is in a specific salvage by searching the name -- like /sea "Arrapago Remnants", so if it happens again you could check to see if it's really just down

Everything on FFXI is limited, thee are fairly low caps on how many people can enter a zone. There doesn't have to be a hundred people in there to be capped. The cap for Ambuscade is 8 instances, so 8x6 people or 8 single people. Salvage is the same. Unlike Ambuscade though, salvage takes 15-20 minutes for everyone.

IF you got in, chances are some bots were either banned or the bot runners saw this and other threads and have put a delay on re-entry for their bots out of fear of a hammer. Either that or they have set times to spam assaults to refresh entry points, this is the most likely answer.

RMT are not chinese sweatshop inhabitants anymore, they are western players who bought or wrote a script. Keep in mind one or two people botting salvage, can run 4-5 bots per computer so 2 people can lock salvage to everyone on the server. Heck 1 person can.

They read these threads.

Oh please. Salvage is full, but it’s not that full. You might have to stand there retrying for 2 minutes, but you’ll get in. The notion that the only way someone got in was someone got in was a bot got banned or was busy spamming assaults is laughable. SE’s reservation system is garbage and that is ultimately to blame. Sometimes you struggle entering nyzul when there’s only two groups inside.

aren't you one of the kids that spread his salvage bot?

"his"?

lol

A few people have mine -- but I don't spread anyone elses.
