Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Zsavooz]

On another note, I hate Seraph. Bought a small house, decked it out even have a garden, Grow shit no one buys, reatiner shit, no one buys... instead, everyone is running to other DC's for crafting supplies etc. When my pardon comes through after 90 long, long, long days, house be damned. Back to Crystal. No more hour long queues. And to all those who say, just play on other DC's, that wasn't the idea for me to move here. Worst mistake ever playing this game. Like I said before, there's an FC here called 90 Days.

That's strange, I have had no trouble selling seeds, Onions (in fact they sell for 150k, the heck? you can DC travel and get them for 90k!), housing items, crystals, food, yeah basically everything that people want, maybe you're pushing junk nobody wants or selling too high.

Relax, once they add the four new worlds, it's going to be crazy, 1800 new plots too, and four new worlds worth of plots, and the Duty Finder will be much more alive, people will stay and use it more instead of Travel.

Give it some time, it'll work out!

Hasn't even been a month. FC plots go up for bidding tomorrow so it'll be 30 days. Expectations that a new DC will function like an old established one in such a short time are unrealistic especially given the DC started with 4 instead of 8 servers in my opinion. I'm personally very happy to be on Hali atm and I can spend time there or visit with friends elsewhere. I wish Materia (Sophia) had that option.

Populations need to be redistributed and that is where SE is heading with it's plans.

I can see where selling might be an issue but I can also see the price gouging and attempts to get rich quick on a new DC. That's not going to happen because many of us know better and will travel for a price that is reasonable.

I want to say we'll have to wait till 7.0 before we start to see permanent settlement and development in Dynamis. Problem is just that were under content drought so not a lot of buzz or activity is going on for the new servers. But expansion releases bring in so many new players that we'll hopefully start to see these new servers finally bringing bank.

The characters I moved from Materia to Dynamis are there for good. I have no problem getting what I need to get done finished. I am enjoying the server. I can wait for things to pick up. Meanwhile I have a bunch to do with road to 80 and other stuff on my list.

I think players on Dynamis really need to stop hopping to other data centers to run their roulettes/raids etc.

If everyone does that, the queue times get exponentially worse for those who remain on Dynamis, which in turns force them to do the same thing as well. This perpetuates a vicious feedback loop where eventually Dynamis is just a dead DC. As bad as Materia is, there's at least the consolation that the players have to build up a community and run events on the DC itself instead of taking the easy way out and abandoning the DC.

[LianaThorne]

And yet I manage to get insta-queues pretty regularly for roulettes (even on DPS) and have no issue completing content outside of current tier savage (which is expected considering statics were already established on other data centers).

Expecting the DC to be as popped as Aether or Crystal in the first month, however, is illogical. Those DCs also have taken years to get to the size they are at now. Lowering expectations might help a bit. Also, finding something to do while you are waiting for a queue helps (I have 6.3 prep I've been doing on the side).

The doomposting here is wild. I understand the frustration of not always having instant-gratification but give it a year before screaming that it's a dead DC.

People believing a new DC will make the game feel like its getting released back in 2.0 and everyone who have been playing for a decade (veterans) wants to start from 0 again.

That's never going to happen, the main story of the game ended and there is nothing new to see or expect UNLESS you're a genuine new player, even so if that's the case those always look up for the most popular servers and not the new ones.

I disagree and agree with this view. Yeah, the main story as we know it is over (that doesn't mean MSQ is done, we're literally getting new plot to post-EW in a month and a whole new storyline in 7.0) but I doubt many people are trying to dip to Dynamis to redo the entire MSQ (I'm sure some are because the alt game is real with a lot of people but I don't believe it's a main motivator, housing was overwhelmingly the main one). My partner has been playing since Heavensward launched and wanted to come to Dynamis with me to just help a server grow from Day 1 which is an experience he missed out on in ARR. I simply wanted a fresh start, to help Dynamis grow more than I could on Materia (mainly due to timezones) and to actually have a chance of making myself a permanent home since housing is a nightmare anywhere else on NA.

Deterring people from joining just because it's new is something I don't really understand, when the point is to get new people in to help grow the DC. Instead of telling people to just pack into existing DCs and make their own issues worse, send them to Dynamis and help expand the population here. Maybe I'm just desensitized to the whole thing because of being on Materia (no offense to Materia) but Dynamis really is not that bad for being a month out. Again, you can't compare a ONE MONTH old DC to one that's been established for YEARS. Give people a real chance to come in and help jumpstart things instead of taking the stance of: "Well I can't get every single queue in under 30s, Dynamis is dead and not worth the time." Have some patience, please. It's really not that hard.

A lot of those servers will reach what SE deems to be capacity and you'll see more and more of them like Balmung where they become congested. People won't be able to flood those servers anymore because they are deemed popular.

Dynamis will fill up as will the new EU DC when it comes. If voluntary moves don't accomplish it you'll see a lot less options for new players other than the new ones as more and more existing servers hit congested status. At least that's my feeling on the matter.

These overpopulated servers are just that and frankly they need to be locked sooner than later. Perhaps when the other 4 servers are added. The idea of playing with friends isn't an issue with DC travel and World Visit. I'm on Hali and I play with my Siren friends everyday.
