Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Mebrilia]

Hello people main Healer here i am going to give my contribution running daily Duty and Roulettes in Dynamis i know is not much but i hope to help with the situation. See you in game.

I don't play the game to be a filler slot in another players MSQ run.

Disable DC travel and I'm transfering out, or just quitting honestly.

But you are complaining because other players aren't being the filler spots in the content you want to run.

Rather ironic, isn't it?

I honestly have no solutions for this problem unless SE decide to take drastic actions to even the server population by designating all old servers as congested, leaving people with no choices but to create new characters only on Dynamis but that would never happen.

Which wouldn't really change the situation from what it is now.

People look at PF but PF is more of an indicator of player activity at end game than player activity in general. If players are forced to make new characters on Dynamis, PF would still be empty because there's little reason to be using it while leveling.

In both cases, the issue gets solved over time as more characters reach level cap and want to be doing the end game content. But most of the unhappy players in this thread aren't willing to give it time and so end up going back to their old data centers, exacerbating the current problem.

If they're not willing to be the change they want, they shouldn't expect better from others.

What, it was. You have a lot of people that liked it, and even within the forums you had people who enjoyed it. Even those who pointed out issues with it said that it just needs to be expanded further than the current base. At no point was it an "abject failure" like people were painting the whole expansion to be.

So...

Lmao yourself?

Read the context?

You know... It didn't fail?

You want content that failed? Remember that Diadem used to give armor with random stats? I wonder why we no longer have that

A lot of people liked it? Is that why most people just go onto the Island Sanctuary discord to do their 2 minutes of workshop and head right out? That's the content you're going to say received omega praise? lmao

I would join you if they disabled DC Travel. Dynamis would be the same dead hole that Materia DC is.

DC Travel is the only thing that makes these new servers playable.

DC Travel is what is killing Crystal's pf, not that it's a surprise DC travel is also what is making them die. It's a hard line to cross.

But you are complaining because other players aren't being the filler spots in the content you want to run.

Rather ironic, isn't it?.

Where's the irony in saying that Dynamis is a dead server and that new players have to DC travel to do the MSQ? Older players/vets/ect have no incentive to DF queue in a dead server, like at all, and why would they stay around for an extremely long que for the handful of new players that don't know about DC travel? Would you do that? Or are you content with staying in Crystal for a ~5min que pop if you're tank/healer, and about 10-15mins for a DPS?

There's no complaints about filling for "filler content" - if Oizen wanted to find people to do filler content with, they would literally go to Aether. Bam, done. It doesn't solve the issue that the new servers are dead as hell, more or less.

When the fuck did I ever say that?

Dynamis is dead. I don't care about that which is why I moved over there anyway. I've been living by DC travel since it came out, which is why leaving Crystal was so easy for me.

I would not have moved to dynamis if it wasn't for DC travel, and I have a hunch there are a lot in the same boat.

I'm glad that Zepla has come over to Dynamis. If more streamers/content creators do so as well, it might very well bring life to Dynamis and more players will follow suit.

The servers are going to fill up. This isn't a Materia issue it's just a matter of time and it won't take that long. Not sure when the other 4 servers are coming they may have mentioned it but that will do a lot to help kick start the DC.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with DC traveling in the interim and/or doing a combination of local queuing or traveling.

I'm sitting in a Pvp queue now on Sophia and it's been 20 minutes. Couldn't get it to queue yesterday after 80 minutes and this is prime time on that DC. There is an issue here but not on Dynamis.

Its weird that NA players complain about this stuff, yet those of us that spent 8+ Months on materia had NO access to DC travel and know exactly what it feels like to play on a dead datacenter.

DC travel is a complete and utter blessing, and Dynamis is in a much better off having access to a playerbase on another DC than having to sit through 10+ hour alliance roulette queues.

Yikes, that does seem rather bleak, given that it's currently Friday primetime hours for Oceania and there's additional incentives to pvp for Mogtomes farming.

I'm really sorry for you but I suspect this is gonna be a regularity for Oce players unless another WoW exodus happens or 7.0 brings in a bunch of new players.

OCE is a fun chill server for me. I'm able to get my gear/tomes and new game content done. Hunts work just fine which is how I cap most of my alts and main. At the moment I'm in a chill status until 6.3 but that doesn't make the situation a good one. I'd like to do pvp, I do it on Dynamis by DC traveling to Siren mostly where I have friends. I have a personal and a FC house on Dynamis and I'm not in the least bit worried that DC will fill up and fully function like any other DC over time.

Ultimately when the next xpac hits this DC will most likely explode with new players as I suspect other servers will be hitting congested status soon enough. The whole purpose of adding a DC was to spread out populations that will happen as SE puts the cap on over crowded ones.

By the way I gave PVP 35 minutes then left for crystal where i have events to do on alts. I do feel bad for those who have mains on Materia and who are trying to get some content done like raids and so on. 8 man, 24 man and certainly 72 man are a real issue for sure.

I'll get to the irony part when I reply to Oizen below.

I've got 4 characters on Marilith. One is on the back burner for the moment (it's the character I created on Marilith for the gil bonus). One is on 4.0 MSQ - just finished Doma Castle (queued for it on Marilith, almost instant queue). One is on 6.0 MSQ - just did The Dark Inside. Again, queued for it on Marilith and that was a 6 minute queue but trial queues take longer so only 6 minutes was a nice surprise. The last is my Marilith main that just needs to get 6.2 MSQ done but I keep putting it off while working on house decorating and playing the other characters. I'll be honest - I'm expecting the queue for Storm's Crown to be a pain in the butt since it's the most recent trial and most Dynamis players are working on leveling alts through earlier parts of the MSQ. I might end up going to another data center to get it done.

I go out into the world and I see players. Not as many as I would on Crystal but I'm still seeing other players. Whether it's hunts or tribal quests or gathering, there are other players out there on the Dynamis worlds. Again, not as many as on other NA worlds but still enough that I can say without hesitation that Dynamis is not dead.

What criteria are you using to come to the conclusion that Dynamis is dead? Sitting alone in your house staring at PF?

When the fuck did I ever say that?

Dynamis is dead. I don't care about that which is why I moved over there anyway. I've been living by DC travel since it came out, which is why leaving Crystal was so easy for me.

Same question to you. What criteria are you using to say that Dynamis is dead?

Seems like just about everyone in this thread is using PF as proof that Dynamis is dead. Is that not why you're traveling to other data centers, so you can use PF there?

Do you genuinely not see the irony in your statement when you are traveling elsewhere to find people to fill spots in group for the content you want to do while not being interested in filling spots in groups for other players trying to get the content they want to do done? That's all PF is - a way to find people to fill groups just as Duty Finder is.

If you don't care about the population on Dynamis and you've been using data center travel since it was first implemented, why are you complaining?
