Merge Dynamis Into Other DC's

Our FC on Seraph is booming, not sure what you are doing wrong..

I play super late by NA times (7pm till about 5am) and still find things to do without any issues, and if the party finder is slow i just hop to another DC and continue playing the game for the night.

We don't have issues doing our weekly Aglaia/Eury clears, Extreme trials or even our weekly Savage reclears on Dynamis.

You all talk as if it is like the Oceanic DC.

It's not.

You can easily queue pretty much everything on the Duty Finder (except Frontline).

And I'm gonna repeat one more time... the DC IS 3 MONTHS OLD so don't expect Aether levels of engagement in a datacenter this young.

This basically.

As an EX-Materia player, i can tell you right now that Dynamis is 1000000% better off.

Dynamis players have the choice to just DC travel when things are slow, Materia just.. do nothing.

It's kind of funny how the majority of people who keep doomsaying "Dynamis is dead" don't actually play on Dynamis.

Our Datacenter is fine for a 3 month old DC.

Agreed, there may not be a large number of people who do ENDGAME content, but i recognize those people on sight because we meet up in every PF doing extreme or above content XD

Casual content is whatever really, i don't do roulettes as they don't have any rewards worth the time investment for somebody omni-everything.

Datacenter is fine, met some awesome people who i do content with daily, and even bring people into harder content to get them comfortable with trying new content.

its fun.

I understand where you're coming from, but as it's already been said, it will take a while before Dynamis starts to see any notable growth. At least a year or so until 7.0 drops.

Unfortunately, we didn't have it when FFXIV had that massive influx of new players when Endwalker dropped but Dynamis will be an absolute necessity come next expansion.

Patience Friend! :)

Rather than merge, I believe they plan on adding more worlds to dynamis in the future till its even with the other DCs...

Not every forum poster with a character on Dynamis is going to have that character as their forum avatar.

I agree, we're fine for a 3 month old data center. But I'm also not going to shy away from the fact there are a few rough spots that still need smoothing. That will happen naturally as more characters are created on or transferred to Dynamis, and more are looking to do level cap content. A lot of players are still focused on leveling jobs before their Road to 80 expires (which it just started doing this week for those who transferred week one).

Those who are impatient are welcome to transfer to Aether or Primal (sorry, those with ex-Crystal characters). They'll be happier elsewhere and we'll be happier without their negativity.

Correct. They already announced an additional 4 worlds tentatively set to be added to Dynamis late Spring/early Summer.

EU is also supposed to be getting an entire data center with 8 new worlds around the same time.

It's up to the individual player to decide if they want to be on the new data centers with the lower populations, or stay on the overcrowded worlds that will have long log in queues when 7.0 is released.

Dynamis is chill and friendly and certainly not dead.

NA players in general these days seem to be pretty much accustomed to DC traveling for content now that the feature is here.

You want a serious endgame environment? You go to Aether.
You want a more laid back place to do roulettes and leveling content? You go to Crystal.
You want a reliably uncongested DC for your super serious static? Apparently a fair number of Ultimate groups have even quietly settled onto Dynamis (emphasis on quietly, unlike Aether where there seems much more push by serious raiders to control the culture - most likely because these Dynamis groups are statics not relying on PF, while Aether's serious players depend on PUGs more often and want to expect results out of it).
You want a quiet hidey hole with a nice home to decorate? Dynamis has it.

... if anything, come to think of it, it's Primal I'm not quite sure of the purpose of anymore ...

I dunno. It sounds more like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me. People say it's dead, so they leave, so it becomes dead. It's like DF for old extremes.

They do need to extend the road to 80 buff though.

Capped all GTH/CFT before the buff went away. :)

Yeah, that would have been nice (for what it's worth, since the only things I don't have at 80+ are the EW new jobs, PLD, and BLU, anyways).

Come to think of it, too, I had Road to 60 when I first created this character, early in Stormblood, and then the rule was that you had it till 90 days after the world in question stopped having Preferred/New status. Apparently the next time they offered it, it'd been changed to a fixed 90 days regardless. I'm not really sure why it was nerfed, to be honest.

If you transfer a character to a new server, the buff lasts 90 days. It's only when you make a brand new character on a new server does it stay until said server loses it's "new" status. Admittedly, I think it's a silly distinction since all it really accomplishes is discouraging people from transferring but c'est la vie.

What point does that serve?

You can level everything to 80+ in a week. if your taking it slow and not actually playing for the THREE MONTHS they give you, then i don't know what to say.

No thanks. I remember what Aether was like back before Crystal was created. I'm glad they take measures to prevent megadatacenters that constantly crash and have issues.

I can't speak on endgame, but up to post-HW, queues do take more time than Aether because it's a smaller pool but it's the difference between instant or 5 minute queue and 15 or 20 minutes for most roulettes. Alliance can still take a bit but it's gone down. I had to DC jump last night for Thordan but that's because it was 3 in the morning when I got to it. I've been able to do other group required content up to this point with little trouble. It's actually been a little nice for my alt that I can queue up and then go get some things done before queue pops whereas on Aether I don't have time to breathe before the queue pops. When I'm working through MSQ again, that's definitely a positive for me.

I said it in the other thread but Marilith right now feels like where Jenova was when I first started in 2014. We were very small. And now we're regularly a Congested server. Marilith and the others will grow.
