SE: Open up Regional Travel for OCE PLEASE !

[Zaniel]

I'm entering day 5 of trying to get an Aglaia queue. My fc is telling me that 4 hours is a usual wait time and I'm better to start a PF and ask people to join it.

I'm just...depressed. It's depressing.

I have no idea what you are doing, 4 hours is completely misleading. I get into Aglaia within 10-15 minutes EVERY week on Materia, I have had like one time in that entire period when I tried to queue at around 3am and it wouldn't pop and when I went back the next day at normal hours, bang 10 minutes again. So I have to call shenanigans on your queue time story. Last week I ran Aglaia 5 times in one week to get my last BLM item and every time it popped easily.

This is my queue, right now. Right at this minute. 4.55pm NZT, Saturday afternoon, 2 July. All I want to do is finish the story.


Edit: Just queued for P2 story on Primal for the comparison, queue popped in 7 minutes.

I didn't test further than 72 minutes on Aglaia during the week because I quit. My fc member said they waited 4 hours and I believe them. OCE needs help and I just can't understand why people are pretending it doesn't.

I've sat in queue for Hyperborea for almost 3 hours as MCH before taking a week off from the game out of disappointment, was during that week that i decided to move back to jp.

People saying OCE are fine are the same people that don't do content and sit around in limsa ERPing all day.

The real players are not on OCE.

What happened to all the new players that OCE players said would buy and start playing the game if a data center was based in OCE instead of players needing to use one of the other regional data centers? Did they appear but they're still leveling through MSQ so unable to help with max level content queues (very understandable) or did they never materialize?

Personally I would expect it to take a while for the end game population to fill out. Data center travel might help the individual player get access to content but it will not help build a strong local player community, which is what you need.

Every player is a real player. What a good way to get others to ignore your opinions from now on.

We were actually talking about this the other day. When the great WoW exodus happened, we had a ton of players join us and swear up and down the ping was soooo bad and that's why they couldn't do end game (lol). They were just gonna do casual content until OCE.

Well, OCE opened, they all transferred there and just stopped logging in. Like, they went from logging in every day on behemoth for months to completely disappearing. They were all up to Endwalker too.

I have no idea what happened. Some were a group of friends but others weren't really connected to each other. Was it time to walk the talk and realize it wasnt the "ping" that was bad? I don't know. It's honestly really weird.

Also, please just let me go to OCE.
I've wanted OCE since the game has come out, but they're asking me to abandon all of my friends, lose my houses and pull up all my roots.

If you don't want cultural shock, disable JP from visiting other datacentres.
The rest of the datacentres will be pretty much the same, the worst will be people bickering about using a macro or not, but even that will lessen in time.
