Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Atelier-Bagur]

These people are the unique WoW Exodus shavings we got left over that unfortunately decided to stay in XIV.

They're so upset with WoW, that their hatred shines the brightest light on XIV, no matter it's faults. In their eyes, they don't come close to WoW's toxicity dredged into all systems and all people. XIV can do no wrong, and WoW can do no right. Even if Yoshi-P himself pissed directly into his mouth. He'd thank him for the lemonade, and argue WoW has never quenched his thirst so effectively.

I mean can you blame them when WoW has been consistently shitting on their playerbase for the last decade or so?

Either way its still a close minded viewpoint to think that FFXIV is perfect

It always bothers me when people equate x game into toxicity. I've played both for years. I've played FFXIV since 2013 with Wow sprinkled in am I a Wow refugee? I've always thought that people who painted us with such a broad brush were morons at best.

Anyway, back on the Dynamis being dead train, has SE said anything about our situation? Do they even care? Do they hope that 7.0 is going to make us popular? Because I don't see it. 90% of my FC is in a state of constant dc visit. I don't think I've seen post 50 content in weeks. It's grim, at least in the now.

This isn't a Dyna only issue atm, most are flooding to Aether to do content and all other DCs are taking a hit from it. It's what happens when DCs start getting reputations for doing certain things, like Crystal has the massive bulk of RP. They need to just provide incentive to stay on your DC tbh.

This is exactly what they need.

Reduce XP/rewards gained from roulettes and dungeons by 75% while not on your home datacenter and Disable the Road to 80 buff while you are not on your home world.

This way people will stay and do content on their own home worlds, and if they get super desperate, can DC travel to complete a dungeon/raid on another DC at a reduced XP/reward gain.

That's the big issue. DC travel has really murdered the games community at this point. So why not do something radical? I had said previously that I think Cross DC queuing should be a thing, and I think the current problem with everyone clustering on certain servers isn't helping. Currently outside of housing, Dynamis is a net loss for the player. Our economy sucks, our queues suck and our population sucks. And what makes it worse is that leaving is always the best choice. And at that point, why play here? Outside of housing, I don't see it. Again, it's a net loss. If my FC disbanded, I would leave. This place is a joke.

Or people could start staying on Dynamis and having their friends from other data centers come visit them instead of the other way around.

They're not going to see improvement in the things they're complaining about if they won't stay on the data center to contribute to the improvement.

Tell that to everyone who leaves. It's more feasible in the short term to leave. And that's what people are going to do. Which is bad in the long term. DC travel is great, but it's really causing some issues community wise. The server identity is dead. I know the architecture maybe can't support it, but outside of incentives to stay, these servers are going to stay dead.

Now, what they should've done is make 3 servers and add them to the existing data centers. That would have been a better allocation of resources than what they did do. And what kind of crap show will it be when they add 4 more?

I'm speaking in the now as someone who has been on Dynamis since the beginning. It hasn't really gotten better, and most people are still leaving. I started doing Eureka, and I refuse to play in empty instances with bots. Dynamis be damned.

So what should we do? Pay the same for a lesser experience? Or go anywhere else to have a better one?

I'm not trying to be mean, but this pie in the sky, everything will be better with 7.0 shtick is getting old. What happens when it's not better? What happens when Dynamis stays dead?

This company is a joke. The community is selfish, but that's not a new thing. They just hide behind the passive-aggressive wall they've built around themselves.
