Priority Log-In for Dynamis Players

- North American Data Center

Aether/Primal/Crystal: Will be unavailable for travel.
Dynamis: Will remain available for travel, and the maximum number of travelling characters will be increased compared to usual. The newly added Worlds in the Dynamis Data Center are still relatively unpopulated and may be helpful login destinations when other Worlds are experiencing high congestion. -

While I can see the advantages to this. Will folks who are stationed in Dynamis be granted priority for log-ins - or are we expected to wait in line alongside the Primal/Aether/Crystal players. And if so - how is that exactly fair when Dynamis players can’t travel to the other worlds in turn?

Of course, this may be an absolute non-issue if launch isn’t as crazy as Endwalker’s and/or the emptiness can accommodate everyone with minimal issue. But there’s still that chance.

All 12 of us on Dynamis agree we should get priority slots.

People on their home server always get priority in the queue. It also says in the post

"As existing data centers and Worlds are expected to become especially congested, the following restrictions will be in place starting in Patch 7.0 until Patch 7.01 (or Patch 7.05 at the latest, depending on the situation) to alleviate congestion and prioritize logins for Home World residents."

Good because I want my dead server to let me on first!

Really though it seems kinda dumb they released 4 new dead servers as kinda an overflow for the first few months of the expansion with the only ones NOT able to move to the other NA servers being those that are already on their dead -redacted- servers

I had been toying with the idea of moving back to Dynamis, but being locked on the DC for an undisclosed amount of time seems kinda....extreme.

I hope you guys get priority login since you are barred from moving to other data centers (except Materia/Oceania). The lodestone post only said this about JP worlds:

When a World has reached the maximum number of visiting characters, non-Home World characters that are logged out on that World will be unable to log in, and the World will be unavailable for visitation via Data Center Travel.

We'll be fine...

Moving there locks you to 90 days because of new worlds.

The DC travel limitation is until 7.05 at the latest, or 1 month. Earliest is 7.01, so 2 weeks.

They seem to know they can't keep the restrictions any longer due to any cross DC statics that would be impacted by limiting it

Ohhh, I guess I've never paid too much attention to how quickly the patches come out after a new xpac, but a month wouldn't be too bad!

I already have 5 characters on Dynamis and to be honest I love playing there. I like the small town feel of it and people in general are helpful and kind. Seriously thinking about moving a superfluous BLM off of Phantom onto Dynamis to act as a pocket crafter for the other 5 since I think I can get a free transfer.

I am already planning to play my Dynamis characters until things settle unless Dynamis also gets nuts (which I doubt it will in the way Zalera does). If it does well One of my other games had an update recently I can dive into for a week or 2 till things settle.

Yeah same, I'm coming to adore Dynamis, I've been moving almost all my characters there and setting everything up for longterm, a bit surprisingly for myself. It's so friendly and chill, and I really enjoy the new server feeling.

Wait, we can't DC hop from Dynamis but everyone can DC hop into us? Ugh, now I have to deal with long log-in queues on top of non-existent duty finder ones.

I dont think both of these can be true. If a lot of people are visiting, then the DF ques will be fine. Its not like people will DC travel to avoid login ques, do the quests, then log out and get in the long que back to their home server for a dungeon/trial, only to return to dynamis for the next set of questing. If you travel, you probly intend to just play that way for a few hours/days. Also, if no one can travel OFF dynamis for a week or two then all the players there will theoretically be contributing to the DF ques. My big hope is that everyone will remember that if we all mostly stay on our home DCs(dont automatically switch for every freaking duty), then the ques everywhere can be fine.

It's always been 90 days (for preferred servers at least). I moved to a preferred server on Crystal when some friends came to play from another MMO during ShB. They don't want people going to these preferred servers (typically lower population) for free and then just going back I guess so they restrict it. I had to wait a month to move back after many of them quit. So glad DC travel is now a thing so I wouldn't need to do that again.

People keep saying this but I don't see it, not after years of having to DC travel to get even 4-man content done, or how I imagine most people coming over from Aether/Primal/Crystal are going to be making their own parties for duty finder so they can more actively avoid anyone from Dynamis (as many of them assume we're all idiots at any sort of group content) or because they know our queues are bad otherwise and want to skip the wait.

And even if queues *do* improve, it'll be short-lived, once the Dawntrail rush ends/DC restrictions are lifted in a month or two, things will go back to how they are now.
