Why did SE add DC travel and new Home Worlds at the same time?

Why wouldn't you have transferred to an older server prior to all of this....?

Because people don't tend to base their decisions on whether or not Square can implement a feature properly. Nobody knew that Home World Transfer would be down for several weeks, because Square is overly ambiguous in almost all of their public statements.

There honestly could be tons of answers for different people here but I don't think that was the point here.

All I meant was this whole thing has some unfortunate timing in places (new pvp season probably being the biggest), and there is (even if small) group of people still affected by the transfers being down in relation to housing.

It's just the CC season that restarted and that will be over in 6.2. The 2nd series starts in 6.2 What's stopping anyone from doing pvp now? Just transfer in 6.2

There might be millions of reasons you want to change server but that's hardly relevant to this discussion.

Should have just transferred earlier, now you have to wait. The only people who really had no choice in this were those wanting to go to the newly created servers on their mains but are stuck using alts.

Unfortunately for me and several others, I wish to leave my current server to migrate to one of the new EU worlds, not possible to be proactive on that.

It's not about why you want to change server. It's that transfers were down days before the DC travel patch was even implemented. If you wanted to transfer to an older server, should have done it prior to them getting shut down originally. There was warning given for when it would go down and considering Square's recent track record for implementing things properly on Day 1, why assume that transfers would be back up right away and wait to move?

It's the same situation as those not buying a fanta and being prepared for when male Viera dropped and waiting till the day of to buy one. Some people were waiting days for theirs to even arrive because of how congested the mogstation was and got upset over it, when it's like...you could have just got one earlier and not have had to wait.

Ya'll, housing isn't introduced right away in new servers/DCs. You don't need to stress about missing anything.

I've missed the best part of PvP season with the initial rush.

Unfortunate.

Game is just becoming more and more of a *big sigh* situation and before anyone says that this stuff happens...you're correct but this didn't happen to this degree prior to Endwalker. I don't remember it ever being this rough when I first joined in the ShB era. Someone is massively dropping the ball lately and it's showing. Either were finally seeing how awfully put together the game is with how things were coded or the amount of love that was put into the game prior to pop exploding is declining.

Interesting that adding servers and enabling travel to more servers is "dropping the ball" Should we plead with them to stop before they expand the NA region?

[Denji]

i'm fairly certain they didn't expect DC travel to break as hard as it did and in traditional dev fashion forgot Murphy's law is a thing that exists.

not only that but it does give people who want a fresh start a chance to get, y'know, accustomed to things without getting steamrolled. i doubt it was intentional but it does ease the economy a little as well as just... general content stuff.

[Deveryn]

It's the players that forgot Murphy's Law exists. I'm sure the devs knew, but there's only so much that can be simulated.
