Dynamis low pop, high queue times.

DC travel.

There are people down in Materia with this exact problem, but without the option to just go play on another DC.

30 seconds DC traveling isn't going to be the end of the world.

If only it was just 30 seconds. It's usually a couple of minutes, but sometimes you run into longer wait times such as 3-5 or occasionally up to 10 such as when things seem to be busiest.

All of that adds up.

We really, really need cross DC queues.

Huh?

I data center travel on my Marilith characters a lot and across all times of the day. My travel times have only exceeded 1 minute during peak hours on a Tuesday or first week of a new patch. With a single exception during a patch week, travel time during peak has been 1-3 minutes.

I also do the majority of my duty queues on Marilith. I don't queue for Alliance raid or PvP since I don't enjoy those and I acknowledge that they're going to have longer queue times on Dynamis. But otherwise the only times I've had problems queuing would be for Storm's Crown and Mount Ordeal to get MSQ done, and even transferring to a different data center I still had a wait for those. That makes sense being the most recent MSQ content many Dynamis players haven't reached yet, not to mention some are taking advantage of the Road to 80 bonus while it lasts so they're more focused on leveling their alts jobs.

As more players reach 90 and get up to date with the MSQ, queue times will go down if players stay on Dynamis instead of immediately data center hopping.

It seems silly to complain about a problem if you're one of those intentionally helping the problem to exist.

It's funny how you're in the Dynamis DC server where we've had multiple instances of people complaining that at certain times there have been extremely slow DC travel times. I'm not in there any more for valid reasons, but it happens. Guess this is just another case of someone insinuating that because they have never encountered such an issue that the issue in question does not exist.

I don't queue for Alliance raid or PvP since I don't enjoy those and I acknowledge that they're going to have longer queue times on Dynamis.

Minor correction here, but outside of a handful of events, Frontlines does not pop on Dynamis. At all.

I don't really see much of a discussion point on this. This is pretty common knowledge. People sit in queue for the Zodiark MSQ trial as well because Trial Roulettes just doesn't offer that much benefit and there's so few people queueing for it.

I also do the majority of my duty queues on Marilith.

That's nice. I also do my daily roulettes on Marilith whenever I can. This usually includes MSQ, Alliance Raids, Levelling, Level X0s, and Alliance, depending on the time of day. I DC travel for Level 90s, Expert, Frontlines almost always though.

Also, is that an accusation? Is that really how far you've fallen to throw out blatant accusations in order to defend against other people's valid points?



Can I ask you a personal question? Are you elderly? You just give off this vibe of being this elderly out of touch person.

You have to realize that it's not just Dynamis that needs cross DC queues. It's incredibly convenient and the general population of the NA servers is slowly deciding on what each DC's purpose is. Actually I think a lot of people had already decided, but now cross DC travel is here and they can actually use each DC. Over time that idea is only going to grow and there is always the potential for it to turn out in a way that if you want PvP you go Primal, if you want content you head to Aether and if you want RP/Venues you head to Crystal.

Recently? after patch updates, the queue times were up to 30+ minutes. However... this was a general problem, not just affecting Dynamis. Square did fix this and it's not that big of an issue during off hours or peak hours. So I agree with you mhm.

I should know. I constantly DC travel to buy from other market-boards cause of the overpriced items on Dynamis and Savage raid on several NA DC's. Had to recently go to Aether and Primal to get 10 Eastern Indoor Ponds / 10 Verdant Partitions / 2x Crimson Mat / Flame passion, those are really overpriced here, but a simple DC travel of 1 to 3 minutes at best? was the usual travel time it took and it hasn't really changed.

Players are just impatient, and Square can do better sure. I just never had DC travel in other MMO's I guess... it just would not be available vs FFXIV
