You have entered too many instances recently........

[SideWays]

.. seriously theres something wrong with this.

I started a RAF team again and had to face this as soon as i hit SM of course. Its well known, so I dont care, if its working correctly.

BUT why does my boosting char always get this message even though my other toons dont? He didnt enter more instances than my other toons (in fact, he entered the instance in the same second my other toons do). They enter at the same time, do exactly the same amount of instances but still my boosting char wont be able to join the instance again as fast as the other toons. I always have to wait like 15+ mins more than on my other chars.

Can someone please explain this to me?

Are you sure you didn't do daily hc on your main before boosting and therefore hit instance limit?
Or were you inside instance when you logged in? This should not happen, but nothing's impossible...

[Grondir]

Happens to me all the time while boosting, boosting toon gets locked out while others are allowed entry. Both doing same amount of instances, no daily heoics etc....

Wish they would just remove it from the game, it serves no purpose :(

Yea I always log out in front of the entrance and not IN the instance. I didnt do any dungeons before I started boosting, its really weird.

I does serve a purpose...maybe you weren't around for the rouge stealth to chests/nodes/herbs days, or the farm easymode boss "x" 50 times for a pattern drop or that DE's to something worth a ton on the AH, that could not be easily reached by non stealth classes. The instance limit was put in place to make farming anything in instances fair to everyone. Unfortunately it puts a damper on farming instances for xp as well.

I was working on boosting my alts this morning through Stockades and ran into this problem for the first time in months. Been a while since I did this and had to find other ways to occupy my time.

/twiddle thumbs

But yea, queing for BGs or running dailies, not HC ones, can help pass the time also. I actually helped kill Horde that were attacking SW for a change worked on leveling up my JC.

I got this warning while doing random heroics the other day. Obviously I had not done 6 in an hour lol. Waited a sec and retried, got same warning, then 3rd time it let me in. It was very weird

limit is 5 per hour.

also if you are boosting sm

cath > armory > reset > armory > cath > reset REPEAT

[thefunk]

you have entered too many pubs recently...

[Maxion]

limit is 5 per hour.

also if you are boosting sm

cath > armory > reset > armory > cath > reset REPEAT

I usually still hit the limit doing both like that.

[DrChaos]

Loot every other time. Ive never hit the cap when I do that

[Fomeny]

I encountered a similar problem - not boxing, since I can't ^^...

In any case, I boosted two friends and reached the instance cap. We waited for about an hour. Then we tried again - they could enter but I couldn't.

When I logged onto another toon of mine, I couldn't enter any instance aswell. So I figured the 5 resets per hour is account wide. Did you do any instances beforehand with any toon on your boosting account?

It is indeed account wide.

Yes its account wide, no I didnt do any instance before as i said a few posts earlier.

[Frostie]

cath > armory > reset > armory > cath > reset REPEAT

I'm sorry for resurrecting such an old thread but i don't understand the reason behind this?

Surely you still hit the 5 instance limit after:

1) Cath
2) Armory
3) Armory
4) Cath
5) Cath

so it would be the same as doing:

1) Cath
2) Cath
3) Cath
4) Cath
5) Cath

Or am I missing something? Are all wings of SM classed as the same instance or something?

Cheers!

[ebony]

limit is 5 per hour. does not matter where or what char your on Raids or dungons same thing,


now SM classed as the same instance, not sure becouse if you reset SM it resets them all 4 not tested this might give it a try. but i still think if you entered it a new one it would show as a new dungon, even if they useing the same resets

[Daeri]

Exactly ;)

To clear up things, you only need to reset once you've cleared both wings (cathedral, armory) then you can repeat.

There is a way around the limit per hour, though it seems a bit of an exploit to me and I wouldn't personally use it.

Hackers/botters who would teleport to certain trashes/bosses and if it was removed they would be able to more than triple their intake!!

How so ? If theres a way post it and we will let you know if it's fishy or not.
People already get around the instance limit by having 5 characters of different classes who can que up. When you have like a level 25 hes good to que with the other guys till 30+ lol.
