Most active Data Center for pvp?

Title is the question. And another would be if someone travels to another data center to visit and they queue for pvp. are they in the current data center for queuing, or does it just queue you with your home datacenter?

Pretty sure aether is the most active and if you datacenter visit you queue within that datacenters pool of servers.

Gonna assume you're talking about NA if you are from Dynamis DC. If you're traveling DCs, that means you can only play Casual CC or Frontlines. You can't play ranked CC anywhere else and Rival Wings only pops during discord-organized events and they rotate data centers.

Aether's CC ranked scene is currently dead, but it probably has more Frontlines games. However, I mostly hate Frontlines on there because I think they have both the best and the worst players, which makes games pure RNG if you get the good players on your side (usually in premade groups). Same with casual CC : both the best and the worst players at the same time. Games usually become pretty decent very late at night, but they stop popping when it becomes interesting.

I much prefer Primal for PVP. I find games more competitive and players to be pretty decent overall.

It's a matter of personal preference, but if I were to rank the NA DCs according to fun, it would be Primal > Crystal > Aether. Dynamis is still too new to be included and doesn't currently have active PVP. If we're just talking smaller queue times, it's probably Aether, but the wait times on the other data centers are not long either.

I heard Light has REALLY active queues.

What I am looking for is just frontline activity. I just want to rank up in the, whatever its called that gives you the crystals and frontlines work just fine for that. Thanks for the info guys.

We are actively dodging the queue.

Crystal - Diamond pops on primal from 9pm - 4am cst. If you're looking for upper tier ranked games.

Crystal from my experience you may get fast queues about 3-5 minutes but the quality of matches are pretty meh.

Primal is the PVP datacenter, Aether is our little brother.

Yeah, I've been going to Primal to get my PvP activity in since Dynamis is pretty much dead for PvP right now. Of the three other NA DCs, Primal seems to have the most consistent experience in terms of team quality. At least, so far I haven't run into any of the horribly lopsided games that were very common when I played on Crystal.

I'm not exactly sure how true this holds now, but in terms of activity:

Aether > Crystal > Primal

Quality of frontline games are a different story.

Frontline is Frontline. I'd just go with whatever has fastest queues. That seems to be Crystal, tbh.
