Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Denji]

I think they mean servers. Not DCs. Servers in NA are all in the same location so it wouldn't matter. People would just move back to Aether though, a la when crystal was created.

couldn't be sure. i used to live basically beside the one that -was- in quebec but they moved it to LA/cali or whatever for some reason because everyone knows how cheap keeping shit cold in LA is. i assumed it was a reference to that.

(yes i know NA square is in cali)

i miss my 20ms ping

They should just mix up the datacenters again. Move a few of the larger ones to Dynamis that would help it out.

That is actually a smart idea, could do it in like 7.0 shuffle some of the servers and who is in each dc. Idk if they could do that cuz of coding and all but it would change things up

Or, and this is just an idea:

If you don't want to be there then don't. If you do then do. Instead of trying to shuffle around Dyna, why not just transfer out if you're unhappy and leave those who stay to be happy?

It really bothers me tbh that since it's not on the exact same level as their original DC that some people just want to burn Dyna to the ground and screw over everyone else who is fine with how it is.

The people who are still there *want* to be there and I haven't had any issues getting queues lately. If it's not good enough for you then don't stay, easiest solution in my opinion. We have plenty of faces who have been there since Day 1 and don't plan to leave.

The reality is every DC is bleeding people to Aether and this is just the consequences of giving data centers identities and wanting convenience over creating a healthy DC balance. This is the new situation and we kinda got to deal with it. Nuking Dyna to the ground won't stop that from happening.

Thank you kindly.

I'm not unhappy with dynamis I just wish it had a better population other than 1-2hr wait for alliance raids or pretty much never get a pvp pop. Also shuffling around DC servers would end bleeding over to Aether as it's population would be broken up and spread out (now I'm sure it would just hop to another server eventually but it would be a short term fix). Honestly my honest opinion they should either axe DC travel or if you are DC travel for over X amount of hours a week you lose your house and are removed from your fc, if you are the fc leader it is disbanded but that's a bit too harsh for some people.

Nuke DC travel imo. Would make the game a lot healthier.

People want convenience and DC travel for queues instead of staying to help populate their own. It's unfortunate. In the present circumstances all you can really do is wait out the queue or go somewhere else for pvp/alliance raid and then come back for the rest.

But that would put us back at the same problem SE was trying to at least partially solve by adding data center travel: allowing friends to play with friends.

I wouldn't suggest nuking data center travel but I would suggest restricting it. If a world reaches X number of players currently online, disable world visit and data center travel to that world except for players using the Return to Home World function. Players who last logged out from that would still be able to log in on it even if not their home world (in case they had been doing content with friends after travel was disabled but were dc'd).

But do allow travel off that world to other worlds that are not restricted. If there's a group of friends that are half on Aether and half on Dynamis, they would still be able to meet on Dynamis to play. If they finished what they wanted to do, the Aether players could still use Return to Home World to return.

We know that travel can be disabled to/from specific worlds if needed but not if the system is sophisticated enough to say "you can come in because it's your home world but the next person can't because it's not theirs". It would be nice if it is.

Oh, someone feel that one on a personal level? lol

Reading your posts, I can tell you're love bombing XIV and projecting. I think I'll paste it again.

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.

Just cuz your reposting it doesn't make it anymore true yet does make you look that much more like a clown. I already stated few things WoW actually does better and actually in another post I did reference how I wish this games glamour worked more like WoW's transmog but I guess reading comprehension isn't a strong suit of yours or you just lie bout reading my post either or idc in the end.

I'm no more a clown than the exodus WoW players projectile vomiting rainbows all over XIV.

I keep seeing you make weird comparisons from XIV and WoW - The reason you don't see many kicks or disbands in XIV content like Alliance Raid is because we can carry half the party through the whole thing even day 1 release. You add SMN and RDM to the mix, and you're basically unstoppable. Stormblood kinda turned us into carebears in Normal content. I've had plenty of Alliance Raids where people were straight up AFK or doing 1% DPS. But it doesn't matter, because you can drag all of their corpses along with ease.

Release day of Euphrosyne, my party specifically died collectively 40 times. But it's fine, because I was RDM machine-gunning rez.

The server is still dead, btw. Just figured I'd update the thread. Dead FCs with half the members on other datacenters(Aether, let's be real). Crazy long prime time queue hours. I did a tank in need expert, and it took me 45 mins, and I gave up. I don't even know if it was even going to pop. Silent FCs and Silent Discords. About the only thing worth a damn is the Hunts. Ffs just let me access my stuff across another server or bolt us to Aether. That's all we are is Aether overflow parking. We all know it. Cross DC queing is a pipedream as I await our mythical Xbox/7.0 players who might google first and not pick the bad server with the long queue times.

Sorry, I had to rant about it. Felt nostalgic for my old FC, so I came back to a worse off Maduin and a 90-day no transfer penalty. I did this to myself. Let me complain about it, lol.

Yea SE made a big mistake on opening a DC last year with about 2 years left before the expansion. The DC should have opened next summer a few months before the 7.0. Kind of sad about it because I have a couple of characters on there.
