Why Is Dynamis Dead

[strawberrycake]

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

It hasn’t been a month though. The server was released at the beginning of November and the month isn’t over yet. I also don’t understand why people seem to think that a brand new server which most people rolled new characters on instead of transferring old ones to is immediately going to function the same as older servers. Give it more time. They haven’t even released all the worlds for the server yet.

Because the majority of people that moved over were looking for housing/the free 1m gil bonus for leveling to 30 so now that they have it theres no reason to be active there if they have priorities in other places. Plus people would rather go to other DCs to get insta-queues than wait in line and help it grow. Sucks but I don't think anyone should really be shocked over that. You'll have to work around it while we're in a dead period patch wise and might not even see massive pop increase till 7.0 when the new expansion and graphics update brings people back/new people in.

Help grow what? That's a specific problem with SE. They could have done regional queues so if i was doing FL from Seraph, i should be able to get queued with people in Crystal, Aether and Primal. But nooo, smol indie company with multidollar budget.

So instead of waiting for a neverhappening queue, i'd rather visit Bry and get a 5 min FL queue.

FYI: I queued for 3 hours AR at 3am and when i logged out of the game i got the notification that i left the queue (LOL).

A lot of people are satisfied with Dynamis. They get to have their house while also going back to their home DC to queue with friends. This is what many people wanted to begin with, including Square. Their design is to have one DC function as a hub for content (Aether, Mana).

No amount of money will speed up the process of getting this to happen. They're actually working on it, but keeping up with SIC is too hard.

This time of year is kinda dead. This end of the patch cycle is quiet as well. It was supposed to launch back in August with the launch of a patch. Things will pick up eventually, but probably not until 6.3

Their design is to have one DC function as a hub for content (Aether, Mana) while the others are either social or for your house. We're also in the content lull, which is by design so that you can play other games published by Square Enix. You're not really supposed to be queueing for content right now unless you're progging the tier.

Game as a whole is in a low point right now, and the advent of DC travel honestly even killed a lot of content on Crystal.
Hell even Primal's PF got smaller.

I disagree. We have our ebbs and flows during every cycle and like I said, this time of year gets to be quieter. That's why they run these free login campaigns around the same time every year.

WOW is about to release a new expansion.

The new server launched at pretty much the same time that pre-patch came out.

WOW (despite what some people think) has a greater population than FF14. it consistently sells 3-million launch day expansions (and has done with everything except Mists). Expect the servers to be even quieter for at least a month shortly.
