[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[strigiformes]

In the interest of gathering as much anecdotal data as I can, I tried transferring my Primal main over to Crystal during the beginning of prime Saturday night hours (so, around 8pm eastern). There were two servers available at the time. I picked Brynhildr.

I get to the login screen, get told I can't actually log in to Brynhildr. I try the world visit transfer to let the game choose a server for me. I receive a world visit error. I try again; I receive "Unable to visit other Worlds at this time. Please wait before attempting another transfer."

Through more trial and error (see: placard clicking) I manage to make it in to Coeurl. It doesn't seem impossible to DC travel to Crystal, at least, but I can see this actively discouraging people from trying. I suppose if that's SE's goal with the new restrictions, they've certainly achieved it.

Yeah, the screen isn't 100% accurate all the time. Earlier today I tried to go from Elemental to Gaia and it had 3 worlds listed as possible to travel to, and when I clicked one to start, it failed the attempt and when the screen came up again, the option I picked was gone. I'm assuming some places hover at the edge of congested so you can fail at attempts it initially shows you can get in, and you can succeed when it initially shows you can't get in. Just playing roulette on that particular second since it's batches of people let in at a time.
