Why Is Dynamis Dead

[NekoMataMata]

I understand this is a new server but the data travel is ruining the new server experience.
New people can't even play like this.



We need GMs to focus on this. At least disable the Data Travel for Dynamis.

When was this taken? Early morning NA time? Usually during the day until around the first few hours of the a.m. there's a handful of parties along with another handful of ads.

Data Travel is literally the only way I've been able to level my alt through the MSQ. If they disable it, I'll immediately transfer her back to Aether. I suspect most people will too for precisely the same reason. You can't force people to stay. They tried that back when Crystal first released and it led to a massive exodus back to Aether. They just need to give better incentives to stay and let things play out.

The DC as a whole lacks anyone trying to do content, even dailies are a hassle to queue for during peak times. It's been a month, and this kinda suuucks

A few things I need to point out.

- It's only been a couple of weeks.
- Holiday season is kicking off in NA, so people are busy.
- We're late in a patch cycle, this is when people tend to float to other games.
- Most people on Dynamis are focusing on building FCs, decorating their houses and other transitory activities.

If you're that impatient, you can always DC travel to get your dailies done.

Plus, as others have mentioned, it only has half as many servers as other data centers, and only has been out for a few weeks. Plus a lot of people started new characters just give it time. I have hope.

There are new games out too. Sonic Frontiers, God of War, Pokémon Scarlett and Violet. There is just a lot to play right now.

People are also heading to other DCs for more serious roulette action.

Dynamis = Feelings

Dynamis = dead server

Dynamis = Dead feelings.

I blame that song "All I Want for Christmas is You". It kills all.

[ForteNightshade]

As others have already said. It hasn't been a month yet. In fact, we're only barely hitting the third week mark. Which just happens to be right smack in the middle of American Thanksgiving. A lot of companies are also mandating more work hours and such in preparation for Christmas. Not to mention plans people themselves have for spending time with family. All of this alongside a content lull for the game itself and it's hardly any wonder things are quiet.

Frankly, I believe that was intended so players could get comfortable without feeling as though they were missing out on content. One of the many blunders with Materia's launch was releasing it three weeks into a major patch cycle—one which included Savage. It all but ensured people wouldn't transfer even if the lack of DC travel wasn't a huge problem.

The dev team largely doesn't care if the community opts to create one centralized hub Data Center. Yoshida even said as much in the recent Q&A. One of the questions asked if they were concerned how over on JP, Mana has essentially taken over for raiding. They more or less said, DC travel is working as intended. So their solution to slow queue times on Dynamis is "go try Aether, Primal or Crystal". Make of that what you will.

The new NA and EU data centers are being put in place to prevent the congestion problems encountered when EW dropped. They've given people the ability to spread out and reduce load on the login and game servers, which is likely all they care about. If players want to transfer to Dynamis but actually play on Primal, I doubt that means anything to them, all the people doing DC travel now are still based on a low-pop datacenter which will have fewer issues come 7.0.

[Final-Fantasy]

It's not an issue though, because you can travel between the NA datacenters.
You want to see what Dead looks like? Make a Character on Materia! Queue times there are really bad, so bad most of us left, no option to DC travel anywhere.

What they should have done was given OCE one world to begin with, allow DC travel to JP, and then given the four wasted worlds from OCE to Dynamis and opened it with all Eight worlds.

Though they could have, and should have, just added Regional DC travel, for everyone.

Make it so SE, please!
