Dynamis doesn't need more servers, it's seriously effecting the housing market

Dynamis does not need more servers:

Hello, I don't often post to the forums so do excuse me if I get something incorrect.

I am from Aether and we have a huge housing crisis problem. The last Medium that I saw had hundreds of people bidding on it. And then I saw the announcement that they want to add servers to Dynamis and not the servers that actually could -really- use the relief. Aether is greatly suffering from the lack of Housing and the economy, as a consequence, is also being effected.
Diverting people to Dynamis is not going to help, no matter what the actual offer is. Be it gil, more exp, etc.

However, if they add more servers to Aether and offer free transfers to those places as well as those benefits, it would clear up the Market instantly and would not hamper the economy.

Transfer to Dynamis so we can fill up the empty homes we have and then they can finally open up the last 5 freaken wards for all servers.

Move to Dynamis, You get house. Stay on packed server on Aether you don't.

Don't you see the carrot and stick here? In a few weeks expect 2000+ queues on Aether.

They will not change this in the short to medium turn, so this is how it will be for 2 years or more.

you can lead a giraffe to Dynamis, but you cant make him take the free server xfer...

I just hope that more people transfer to Dynamis so I don't have to keep traveling to aether just to be able to queue up for duties.

I'm guessing that you started playing FFXIV some months after Endwalker's launch.

If you had been here for Endwalker's launch, you would understand exactly why Dynamis was added as a new data center with new worlds instead of SE adding new worlds to the existing data centers.

In short: all worlds on a logical data center share the same log-in server. The more players that are trying to log-in at the same time, the longer the queues get. If there are too many players trying to log in at the same time, the log-in server will crash and dump everyone out so they have to start over.

New data centers with new worlds don't get added because of housing. They get added so players can spread out more and help minimize log-in queue times as much as possible.

Adding more worlds to Aether would only make the log-in queues worse. SE could add new wards to the existing worlds but they have no reason to when there is plenty of available housing on Dynamis and data center travel exists for friends to be able to play with friends in the same region regardless of their home worlds and home data centers.

If you don't want to move, then you don't have to. SE isn't going to force anyone to transfer. But you're going to be left fighting for housing scraps if you stay while you would easily get a house if you were on Dynamis.

Other than Alliance raids, my Marilith characters don't have to leave Dynamis to queue for anything. The rare occasions the wait times feel too long (usually very late at night) I'll just throw up a PF instead and the party will fill within 5-10 minutes. The population has been in a good place for several months now. Too many got into the habit of data center travel back when the level cap population was small and so that makes things seem worse than they are.

Dawntrail launch should see most Dynamis players finally "staying home". Better to suffer a 10-15 minute wait for a duty than a 2+ hour log-in queue on one of the congested data centers to get a 5 minute wait for a duty.

I would suggest queueing as tank or healer if either is an option for you, though. There are going to be a lot of players wanting to play through the MSQ on Viper and Pictomancer and that's going create havoc with DPS wait times for a few weeks.

Lol the issue is more then one fold. It's them allowing the alt loophole. It's them not blocking established accounts from buying housing in dynamis. It's them not funneling new players into dynamis.

The devs have avenues to alleviate alot of stuff. As for us on aether. The problem stemmed from the rule tweaking back in stormblood when they grandfathered in people's extras then allowing that alt loophole to go on as long as it has without any repercussions.

I didn’t see anything yet about server status… did they make most of NA congested except for Dynamis with maintenance?

Nothing changed last night other than the new worlds being added.

Takes me back to the days of "just add all the new wards to Balmung, none of the other servers need new houses."

They aren't going to make the over crowded servers more crowded. Get with the routine if you haven't figured that out yet. Nothing wrong with Dynamis I have characters there with a beachfront mist and a lavender 11 and I play with my friends on Aether all the time.

Oh Geez. Another complainer.
Alright so #1: All DCs have 8 servers and it will stay that way. No other DCs will get more servers just because it's crowded.
#2: Dynamis was created to alleviate traffic on congested servers and data centers. That includes housing. It's no ones fault but your own to CHOOSE and stay on a congested DC with minimal housing. As another player stated, if you stay on Aether, you can fight for scraps. If you come to Dynamis, you'll get a house. Heck, maybe you'll even get your dream plot.
#3: Housing alone as a lot of people transferring because they don't want to fight over 100 people for a bloody house.
#4: There is this thing called DC travel. If you decide to come to Dynamis because you want a house, you can travel to neighboring DC's. You get the best of both worlds.

In short, don't complain about the situation when it can easily be fixed.

Yuuki you kinda not smart.

1) dynamis was dead with its 4 servers. Ppl only made alts there to snag housing and will do so again with these new servers. They haven't funneled new players into dynamis so it's pretty dead. Nor did they stop established accounts from setting up alts to steal housing.

2) there would be no issue with housing if they finally closed that alt loophole and took people's extras away or moved everyone over to a instanced housing thing. They don't so there will be a shortage all over.

3) very wrong. People created alts and got skips and stuff just to take housing on dynamis.

4) DC travel ruined different scenes especially with content. I'm on aether and see the complaints about lack of content running on other dcs. Maybe if those dcs kept to their own servers then it might be better.

How to let us know you've never set foot on a Dynamis server without actually writing it down.

So, the 'alt' loophole appears to be "you have more than one avatar with a house. Shame on you, 'cuz I don't have any." The obvious solution: "Transfer to Dynamis and buy a house. I hear there's a whole bunch of them opening up now".

I have alts on Dynamis. None of them own a house. I prefer apartments, which are available on most worlds at this time, and don't have a Timer you have to trip every X number of days.

As an aside, the non-congested New Worlds are the default for new players. If a new player has friends on Aether or Crystal, for example, you actually want to force them to select Dynamis?

First off it's not a shaming thing, its calling out a loophole that should never have existed that they aware of. Hence needing to be in a fc for 30 days before you can take it over or the fc has to be 30 days old before ya put in for a lotto for a house

Secondly. I know of alot of people who made alts on dynamis just to snag housing they didn't need. Any large and mediums were taken as they hold more resell value.

Lastly. Funneling new players into a new DC isn't a bad idea. Helps liven it up to the point where they don't need to travel just to do content. I get they want freedom for people but some moves should be made smarter then they have already.

Shame those 304 players weren't willing to transfer to the new Dynamis worlds this past week. Competition was very low if not non-existent on some plots.

The price people are willing to pay for staying on congested worlds.

No one is being forced to go to Dynamis if they don't want to but if they feel owning a house is important to their game experience, Dynamis is the best place to create a character.

We had a group of about a dozen players last night that were having a discussion about what it's like to play on Dynamis versus the other NA worlds. The consensus was queue times for Alliance raids are bad but other queue times are fine during normal hours if slightly longer than what you see on Aether. Marketboard was really hit or miss on prices (somethings are cheaper on Dynamis, others are more expensive) but it didn't bother anyone to data center travel to buy items if needed. The chances of running into a toxic player seem to be far less because the smaller community means players are more likely to want to help each other.

I guess it comes down to what you prefer for a playing experience - "big city" or "small town". If you want big city, you're going to have the traffic congestion (log-in queues) during peak hours. You're going to struggle to find housing in the city. You'll be surrounded by people you don't know and probably don't care about you. If you're small town, housing won't be a problem but you might have to put some extra effort into getting the things you want. Neighbors are more likely to land a hand when help is needed.

The 4 original Dynamis worlds are well populated, Seraph even toggles to 'congested' most evenings and has for some time now.

A quick glance this afternoon showed 40-60 Mansions unbid in Mist alone on the 4 new Dynamis worlds after the 1st lottery cycle. I got a good medium(30) there and the only other occupied plot was 5 (naturally).

The housing capacity is there for those who want it.

Those who want it will wake up in 1-2 years when Dawntrail has brought more activity to the data center and it's no longer considered "dead". But of course those mansions will be long gone by then.

Their choice.

In the meanwhile I have friends that already had mediums and larges on the first 4 Dynamis worlds roll an alt on one of the just added 4 worlds to buy more mediums and larges in the last lottery. Still lots of mediums and larges unclaimed for those willing to put in the effort to get what they want.

I did that when Dynamis was created when I moved my main alt to Seraph and had no competition when she won her Goblet 35 mansion, then a few months later, Minaa won her current Shiro 60 mansion out of 45 bids. My OG main Rinoa was created in Exodus like Minaa but back in 2015 (Minaa in 2019), so she stayed in Exodus when I moved Minaa to Seraph. I have tried to get any large for Rinoa for years until two weeks ago when she finally won her dream LB 28 mansion out of over 250 bids. Both of my catgirls are essentially endgame omnicrafters and gatherers and nearly all DoW classes at 90 since I play both heavily daily before anyone criticizes me for creating an alt recently just for housing.

Unlike your friends, I only have two characters total with their own personal housing but both own their own dream plots in their respective housing wards :3

When I won my first mansion ever when Dynamis was created, I won with my solo bid only, the same is true for many plots in the four new worlds atm.

Then a few months later, Minaa won her current dream Shiro plot out of 45 bidders.

Then my original main, Rinoa on Exodus after many years of trying to win any mansion finally won her mansion and it also happened to be her dream LB plot too out of over 250 bids which is wild.
