Why Is Dynamis Dead

[DixieBellOCE]

Materia was the same on Launch.

The benefit Dynamis has over Materia is that you can just DC travel and play the game as normal where as Materia players have to deal with having a small population.

I DC travel over to Aether to raid/PVP during the day, and get almost instant pops on most content, then return home and hang out with my FC and do old extremes and stuff with them.

There is a huge crossover in the game's populations. The term 'WOW refugee' is literally a term thrown about in game.

Half the last FC I was in game from WOW during a content drought. They were on 6-8 hours a day on FF14 for the 2 months I was in that FC. None of them have been online since the WOW pre-patch.

No, it's not huge.

My Marilith FC is composed of players who originally met playing WoW unless they were already real life relatives. How many of them stopped playing FFXIV to return to WoW for the pre-patch?

One, who's already back to playing FFXIV because nothing in the pre-patch made him excited for Dragonflight. The rest are done with WoW. They're far happier here than they'd been with WoW in years.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

There is some crossover but it's not huge like you claim. They're two different MMOs that appeal to different types of players.

If you think WoW is to blame, then explain why we had the exact same complaints at the same point in 6.1's patch cycle where there was nothing going on in WoW to cause it.

LOL no its not. Hailcarnassus is the least populated one on the DC. Most times queues are pretty atrocious there for any early content and pvp. WHile I don't mind DC traveling, it does make the new DC feel empty as hell.

Some players were trying to make Hali the raider/PvP server but I don't think that stuck. It's really just Seraph that has an identity. The rest are just normal worlds.

Hali isn't the least populated, either. That honor goes to Maduin, though not by much. Hali, Maduin and Marilith are all fairly close in population - and dwarfed by Seraph.

Queues also aren't world specific. They draw from the entire data center. I see a lot more Seraph players in my roulettes than players from any other world, which is what I would expect to see.

I got my dream house.

Thats all that matters.

Seraph has a lot of ranked pvpers. Mostly alts.

Honestly, given how low the population already is on Dynamis with just 4 worlds and how dead it feels, I'm of the opinion that SE should review their plans of pushing out another 4 new worlds in 2023 as that would lead to an even more sparse population across 8 worlds. Instead they should let the population grow on the 4 existing worlds on Dynamis till it is an active DC on its own.

[Edelgarde]

Dynamis has a fighting chance at least.

[AlyaNimfa]

dunno my server is always busy. Also have a thriving bot population.. squeenix need to make reporting easier

[PoyoYoyo]

They should move Ravana to Dynamis so i can see my friends again <3

[Ivtrix]

dynamis has 1000x more of a chance than materia since it is linked to the other NA DCs

Apparently paying 12.99 for subscription is enough for you to feel entitled to state-of-the-art military grade technology and expect SE to break the laws of physics for you.

Can you tell me what drugs you're onto? WoW's done similar stuff for several years and they're by no means using military grade technology.
