EU party finder is dead !!!

Hello i come to post this message because I find that there is less pf on chaos,
I do not know if it is the same thing on light datacenter but there is at most 4-6 pf,
it is a hell to find a group.

I think the split of the datacenters were not a good idea for Europe,
the system of world visit is nice but they could at least just merge the server instantiated between light and chaos?


(I play during the day only )

...you posted this at 5:48 am server time...I hope you weren't using pf in the wee hours of the morning and expecting a lot of activity. Most people are in bed or getting up to get ready for work/college/school.

Aside from this I can't comment on pf, given I rarely use it.

At what time did you check PF?

As far as I can see, it's very lively during prime time. If you tried to find a party now then it's no wonder you didn't meet a lot of people. It's the middle of the week, people are at work at this time.

Amount of players did become lower after the split, but it's not that bad really. And this split was needed because before it lags were so bad that I got kicked from the game together with the whole party in raids when last tier of Omega was released. Yes there also were DDoS attacks, but situation as it is was really... not okay, to say the least.

I see you are in Chaos, but on Light the PF definitly alive and kicking (currently full of Ruby Weapon progress groups). Looking at 6:00 in the morning is surely the worst time of day to seach for activities. Go to bed :-)

Checking PF at 4am isn't a great idea too...

I swear a lot of times I'm like really trying to be optimistic and hope the EU playerbase which im part of isn't disappointing me by not adding multiple factors together...

As others said, time of day plays a pivotal role in the PF "life".

At the moment (10 AM server time) there's about 20 parties on light. I'd expect most people to be working or at school at this time, and activity to pick up in 6-8 hours or so.

No no. We all should quit our jobs and fill the PF at all cost at any time.

I watch the pf during the day, it is not because I create the post in the morning that I watch for pf at 4am ...
and actually for savage raid
the situation did not change .

As of this moment on a thursday at 2:30 pm ST (so still work/school time for most people), there are a total of 44 PFs up on the Light DC.

6 are for E5 Savage, 6 are for E6 Savage - content that is aimed at statics, not PF in the first place. Doesnt look dead to me...

Out of curioitsy: Have you tried setting up a PF yourself and how long did that took to fill?

there is clearly more pf for the savage on light,
Yes I did it its almost not filled once you are a certain stage of progress on the fight,
in any case compared to the previous raid there is a huge difference.

I hope the situation will change in the coming weeks .

To be honest, whenever I play late, I never expect a lot of PF passed 1-2am ish. So yeah, time of the day is important, imo.

Takes me 2 to 10 min to find a group in PF on Moogle.

You're just unlucky I suppose

A few hours ago when i was farming ruby weapon, at 11pm server time on chaos, there was about 70 PF's up. It dries up massively around the kind of time im now posting this and even then there is 24 parties up right now at 1:04am, but that's because people start going to sleep, and it'll stay like this until 7-8am, when people start waking up and playing again.

EU players don't start coming online in waves til around 10am and peak time is about 6pm and slows down around 2-3am. Times based on GMT+0.. I have to do some math since I'm GMT+3.

60 PF's for Ruby and Savage contents yesterday in the early afternoon on Chaos ... This is not what I call a "dead PF".
