Dynamis Bound! Rate your excitement level (If you're going)

[Shibi]

Do we know how long the free transfers to Dynamis are going to be around? Seriously considering giving up a large and going there but want some time to think about it.

Best guess would be much longer-term (all of this year and some/most of next?), certainly not anything close. But it's not been said officially. Yoshida-san did say there was allocated budget for more servers on it before 7.0 so those would be new status even if the existing 4 flip to preferred.

Made a new character on Hali and am surprised at how much bonus there is. Was leveling 3 jobs and am still ahead of the MSQ level with doing nothing but it. Probably going to end up sending an actual alt over so I can have enough gil to buy a house in the first lottery as the servers seem really popular and I have concerns about how many lotteries it will take before they fill up.

That being said, starting a new character has been pretty fun and actually made me want to play again, but we'll see how long I last.

Was just on. Dynamis was very much a ghost town. Absolute dead servers outside the NA peak. 2 parties looking for a tank.

I htink its a case of - anyone who creates a character there will be away travelling from the DC a lot of the time. Tumbleweeds were in Limsa already.

Hmm, i guess results will vary. Limsa has been pretty full every time I run through.

Now, the queue times have been iffy for me - even as a healer. Had an expert roulette go into the 15 minute range, I tried for a random level 50 dungeon for my alt, and that was a 30+ minute queue (also as a healer..). I imagine that will only improve with time, but for now I've been popping back to the old DC when I want a quick queue.

Marilith ususally has a decent ammount of people in Limsa, and Seraph has been having enough to hit the max characters rendered setting the game has for me.

By the standards of other datacenters yeah theres not as many players...but duh thats the point.

Popping back is so good when time is short - but I personally hope that people don't get in the habit of it (not saying you did this, just general thoughts) It's great for when it really needs to be quick run due to time constraints, but I think it's healthier for the new DC if people do try and wait it out when possible. If the queues are as good as possible with a small population then more people will come, and the queues will get better. But if too many people become impatient and just stay on Aether or Crystal for everything, then the servers will be dead and empty.

One thing that did surprise me a lot was road-to-80 carries over to the old datacentres. I'd actually love to see SE remove that, so it's only active on the home datacentre. I think it would help keep people on the DC when they are not short on time.

Oh no, I agree! If everyone is hopping back over to old DCs, it's not going to help our queues at all. Normally I'm Ok doing other things while waiting, but I was rushing my alt through HW and reaaallly didn't want to wait 30+ minutes for a story dungeon. D:

I haven't been off Jenova in 8 years so it's my first time exposed to the "Road to" buffs and holy moley. I feel like every quest dings me. I've done mostly MSQ and my MRD quests, with a handful of side quests early to get the gear to get past that one MSQ quest where you need level 5 in all slots plus get a bit of gil for teleports. But I'm 24 just leaving the first city and have only done MSQ since like level 8, lol.

[Shibi]

As expected on a new DC, Onions are unusual right now, hehe.... Hint - check all 4 MBs before feeding your choco! Unless you like throwing gil to the wind

Maduin: 95,000
Halicarnassus: 144,997
Seraph: 170,000
Marilith: 209,997

It's very fast, for sure. All the buffs like FC XP and rest XP also counts for a lot when stacked with it.

Yeah I got lucky to find a nice group to join so I have FC XP on top. Don't mind too much. Will be useful when I want to pick up DPS since there are tons of tanks and healers.
