Why Is Dynamis Dead

[LianaThorne]

Main Scenario queues on Dynamis is ~5 minutes.

I don't really know what you are talking about.

Literally if you go as role in need it's almost always an insta-queue for me. Speaking from yesterday, the only one that took longer than insta or 5m was Normal Raid. I even managed to get lucky with a pretty quick Alliance Raid queue.

I wasn't going to post in here anymore as I have better things to do with my life than argue with people who are deadset on the DC becoming dead (not sorry if that offends anyone) but as I said earlier:

Some of yall get so dramatic about/overexaggerate the situation. The post before mine is a great case and point of one person exaggerating the situation for whatever reason and another speaking the reality that the queues dont take an hour. Lol.

I queued Alliance raid as a level 90 healer while healer was in need and got a 35 minute queue last night. At 9PM. I queued MSQ as a level 90 healer with healer in need and had a 25 minute queue.
It is nowhere near instant queues anywhere on the data center.

I have to hop, especially during this Moogle event. If I saty onSeraph and queue for Praetorium, it's an hour queue. On Crystal, 5 minutes. Are you kidding me? Dynamis is dead. Put a fork in it.

It's not dead, it's growing. Educate yourself of the difference so you don't embarass yourself in the future

I was spamming Brayflox hardmode with around a 5 min wait in-between. Msq as dps takes about 5 mins as well. I'm not going to lie Zepla joining my server seems to have helped beef it up. It's not Aether stuffed to the absolute brim, but it's good. And I like how small it is now from a commuinty aspect now. I've spent so much time on Crystal and Aether just being a invisible ant. It's weird given that I was orginally one of the doom and gloomers.

I guess I don't really understand. It's like moving to a new suburb that only has 30% of the houses built and being frustrated that the neighbourhood feels empty. Of course it feels empty, it's brand new and it's during the slowest point in the patch. I would have thought that was part of the point of moving, to have that growing small town vibe.

I think Dynamis is in good shape now.

Seraph is already completely out of personal housing plots despite being only slightly more than a month old.

Whereas if you look at the new EU worlds and Materia which are established much earlier than Dynamis, it's still a barren wasteland in their housing districts.

If anything, we should be trying to solve the population issues over there instead and question if there's really a need for a whole new data center on EU next year.

If I remember correctly, EU is working off older hardware that can't handle as many concurrent logins as the hardware for the other regions. It's the concurrent logins that have spurred SE to add the new worlds and data centers. That way we shouldn't have a repeat of Endwalker launch when it's 7.0's turn.

They’re not exaggerating at all. In fact, the “anti-naysayers” will gladly agree that Dynamis is slow.

And that’s a good thing (according to them). That’s how it’s supposed to be.

If you insist that queues on Dynamis are fast like the other DCs, you’re directly clashing with the slow and “small town” vibe that people are looking for:

it’s almost always an insta-queue for me. Speaking from yesterday, the only one that took longer than insta or 5m was Normal Raid.

I think some of the defenses for Square Enix are being made simply to shield the company for the sake of it.

Not to necro the thread, but as someone who plays on Maduin, I think people jumping ship to "better" servers is also an issue with queue times. Nobody wants to wait so they selfishly go to "better" realms and queue there for faster queues. I just feel like unless we get actual proper cross data center duty queuing, the problem will just get worse. Once the 90 days is up, most people will leave. And Dynamis will stagnant. Sure, eventually, it will fill up. I've noticed loads of actual new players. I love it because they chose to be here to play, so they aren't jaded and looking to leave. I just feel like the more I try to understand this community, all I see is selfishness. I mean, I know people are selfish, but they constantly tell me it will get better while constantly leaving to go to other servers to do everything. They don't care about their server. They care about their progress. I don't know shower thought ramblings of an idiot maybe, but it's how I feel.

It helps that their choices are limited by most of the other worlds, and an entire datacenter, are not allowing character creation.
