Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Shori]

I will comment from the perspective of someone who went to new worlds on EU.

1) establishing a new world or DC requires forming bonds, FCs, new statics even. This takes alot longer than 1 month to achieve and those who have transferred will likely be putting all their time into that right now. Running 'easy' content for loot to rank up the GC and then FC for example.

2) other games including online games such as wow and genshin are putting out bigger content right now. Yoshida did say FFXIV will experience a slowdown on content and patches but i dont think anyone was quite prepared for how bare-skeleton the patches were about to become. This has pushed players towards the other games too. This affects all DCs but particularly the new ones because of the time investment required.

3) housing wasnt enough of a reason to move to a new world or dc. The "crisis" was such because of a few loud players hyping and ranting rather than thousands in actual need. On my homeworld Sagittarius for example there are still roughly 400 empty plots.

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

1) It's only been a month....

2) Fall is the biggest time for new game releases.

3) WoW is dropping their expansion next week, so people are migrating to check it out.

4) End of the patch cycle is always the slowest and people are just playing less now.

5) Covid is less of a thing, so people are going out more.

6) 6.25 sucked and 6.3 isn't until next year.

[Zsolen]

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

Opinions don't belong in the list. You're also talking about a .x5 patch. There's already a tendency to go for .x0 and take a break until next patch.

Again, Dynamis was supposed to launch in the late summer with 6.2

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


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

"objective"

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

[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.
