Why Is Dynamis Dead

[PirateRyanG]

I agree, but 6.2 and 6.25 being garbage is an objective fact so yeah.

"objective"

I've enjoyed both patches and don't think they're garbage.

All of its content died in a week save for the beast tribe quest, which isn't bringing people back.

It's allegedly so horrible, yet you're still here. The only objective fact is that you're talking out of your arse, trying to pass off opinion as fact. That's not how this works.

(I had a blast, especially with the new EX trial).

Define "garbage"? Because by all intents and purposes:
- The MSQ got everyone talking about the future of FF14 and bolstered the interest in exploring the Thirteenth
- The raid story was hailed as being a highlight, specifically its story and the music. The fights were hit-or-miss in terms of execution, but had interesting concepts.
- The Beast Tribes deal with bringing a glimmer of hope to Ultima Thule and watch as other Ostrakons began developping slowly toward it. Which served to endear the area and its inhabitants to the community further.
- Island Sanctuary was a highly anticipated area and was praised for being a different form of casual content with room to grow.
- And while Criterion Dungeons were seen as an exercise in futility due to the underwhelming rewards, both it and the Variant dungeons were received well. Many people praised the different paths people can take, the exploration approach to dungeons and having NPCs with you interacting with the plot. As well as expanding on the world and characters via story snippets.

I'd get it if you said they were weak, since they had lukewarm reception. Each piece of content had its fair share of criticism and suggestions, but that doesn't imply it's garbage. Overall, this patch wasn't an abject failure under any stretch. Don't take the forums' reactions as gospel. The forums are less moderated than other places, which coupled with Square saying they'll only take feedback from here implies there'll be more criticism. Even when reactions were negative, they didn't imply a full hatred for the content. It otherwise received wasn't too terrible regardless.

lol.

lmao even

6.3 should be a higher point, but we shall see.

[LianaThorne]

Whether or not a patch is garbage is irrelevant because like was already said, patches that involve new parts of the MSQ bring back more people than those falling in the middle. But ultimately we won't see impactful pop changes until closer to 7.0 when those that solely play for expansion launches return/new players come in attracted by the new content. Dynamis is far from dead, it's quieter and there's nothing wrong with that. If you want a packed Limsa go to Seraph.

I don't think you understand what a fact is.

[LianaThorne]

I love how a thread on Dynamis being "dead" derailed into talking about why 6.2/6.25 is or isn't garbage.

Honestly I'm not even surprised anymore.

I've been on Seraph from day one. Albeit, I was able to buy a small house, the population is pretty slim. Roulettes take on average of 30 minutes to pop, selling is pretty bad as no one seems to buy anything and when they do they go to another DC, I would already have left but stuck here for 90 days. Yuk! There's actually an FC called 90 Days which is dedicated to getting off this place in 90 days. I feel like I'm doing time here.
