Why Is Dynamis Dead

[DixieBellOCE]

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.

Well crystal isn't exactly the 'raiding' datacenter.

Each datacenter has its demographic, the people that want to raid just go visit the DC that has the better raiders. The ones that want some roleplay action, head over to Crystal.

Its a new time for XIV, you can live anywhere and play anywhere.

the 30 seconds it takes to DC travel isn't going to hurt anyone, you raid, then you go home. easy.

Well yeah, that's why it's killing Crystal's PF lmao.

Even casual PF - i.e trial mount farms, unsynced raids, those sorts of things are on the low.

I'm kinda neutral on it - it's neither here or there. I don't PF that much anymore, aside from boredom, but the one thing is for sure: you can sure feel the effects of DC travel.

I know someone's going to get upset that I'm nitpicking but can we please be honest about the fact that DC travel isn't as convenient as world travel?

It's not 30 seconds, nor in the snap of your fingers. Between logging out, waiting for the login screen to load, going through the process of of waiting for the transfer and then waiting to log in, it's somewhere around 3-5 minutes, depending on what server you jumped to.

Not exactly a lot, and I understand that the option is there, but it also adds up, especially when you consider all the different activities you have to go back to your own server for.

It's not that fast, but if you want to do something as crazy as alliance roulette, you'll save time. Alliance is still a poor example to show. People don't want to do that with a bunch of alts because they know what's going to happen. Stop acting like that roulette wasn't a hot topic in the last month.

Of course, we're still in December. People are still out there, doing other things while they wait for the patch (Dragonflight included).

"as crazy" LMAO dude I just did one, just fine, no wait or hassle at all on Crystal, something that is still a struggle for Dynamis.

Alliance is NOT a poor example to show my dude. Other data centers (save Materia, of course) have no problem queuing into, again, VERY normal content. People are doing other things all the time, even during the content drought (right now), I can still easily get into a queue.

Also, there's something to be said that people generally don't want the hassle of DC Travel to another server every. single. time. they want to do basic ass content. People want to do things in their server because.. well, that's the server that they picked. But they can't do that if those parties can't fill.

Can we talk about how I totes predicted that you'd make up another excuse btw?

Why show more of the window, when you know you're going to make up another excuse as to why the queue is that long lmao.
