Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Wolfsbane706]

Why is everyone expecting the new DC to be on Balmung levels of activity less than a month after release? These things take time to develop. There's no getting around that. If the DC is still quiet this time next year, then you're allowed to call it dead.

Do you really think it's going to fill out over time? You must be joking. The big rush is over, now there's just sadness, tears and great remorse.

One big rush is over. There well maybe additional rushes in future, and the game as a whole with more people than space to put them. If the game as a whole is growing then the quieter servers will grow too.

maybe but my take is that the whole DC will be dead in 6 months if not less. Once people can leave, they will. That brings up another point, why the hell can;t we sell our houses like anything else on the MB? It would solve mutliple problems like have to cough up more hardware in order to priovide additional wards. I wouldn't doubt that there is a large percentage of users who would love to get out of their houses, I'm one. WTF is there to do there? I walk around many residential wards and never see a single soul. I get the FC houses, but other than decorating or having a garden, what's the point?

You used to be able to sell private houses on the black market but after they removed relocations because people were sniping houses from campers, the ability to sell was also removed. The devs are pretty dead set on neighborhoods and I'm in the camp that thinks Island Sanctuary is slowly going to evolve into a form of instanced housing that is similar to what we see in neighborhoods but not an exact copy.

Otherwise the point is they're just something nice to have and a place to call your own that isn't constricted to one room.

Going to reiterate this. Dynamis is two and a half months old. You lot need to stop acting like the DC not being totally full at launch means it's a dead DC.

No one wants it to be Balmung level of activity but we would like to be able to actually do content on it. As it is the PF has 0 listings for combat content on any given night, and queues for roulettes can go as high as 3-4 hours long.
That's pretty unacceptable and it forces you to move to other DCs or you just fall behind on content constantly. I love not getting capped tomes every week and not being able to do reclears because no one plays on the new DC.

I'm legit curious about this as the bulk of my parties on Aether will always have at least 1 Dynamis person. Is PF and DF completely empty because everyone is just going to the other datacenters for stuff or is it there's just no people on Dynamis to do the content period?

PF is pretty much completely dead, as far as I am aware. Sometimes roulette queues can pop semi-quick, but that's not a norm. I have never once been able to get into PvP here. You can definitely cap out tomes just queueing on Dynamis though.

There's just no one, I tried to do all my roulettes one day on dynamis and couldn't get them all done in the time I had. 30+ minute per roulette is a hell of an issue, and especially on expert roulette. There's barely any max level characters staying on the DC, most characters are alts that are around level 50-70 right now and the ones who brought their main go to other DCs to do content at about half the wait times or less. If you only have about 1-2 hours a night to play, there's a very real chance you won't be able to keep up on content or capped tomes if you don't DC travel.
