Data Center and PF

[angienessyo]

I hate Aether so much its unreal

I mean, we didn't ask for literally everyone to come to us, this wasn't our fault. It's not our fault people had a certain expectation of us and then flocked to us for running content. I don't like it either because people come here and expect us to be amazing and then complain if there's wipes and say stuff like "I thought this was the raiding data center".

Most people are chill but I've seen someone say that a few times, too. My sibling in Hydaelyn, we can screw up just like any other DC.

This problem happens in JP with everyone going to Mana and EU going to Light.

Yoshi-P only seems aware of it affecting JP, but has a solution in mind for it so hopefully it can be extended to the other regions as well.

Even if the end goal is to have regional mass DCs, the interim solution needs to be to restrict party leader functions to people who are on their home DC, so that you can switch DCs to play with one of your friends but not just so that you can switch DCs and end up with a full 8/8 party of strangers who are all from your home DC anyway.

If they had the resources and technology, I rather wish we had just one giant mega server for each region. Otherwise the better solution is to implement cross-DC party finder.

The real question with that is, what could possibly go wrong? I mean that sincerely and not sarcastically. I don't think many people expected this to be the consequences of DC travel; so what other unforseen consequences could these solutions bring?

DC travel effectively killed my FC. All the people who run content in PF just go to Aether and chill by themselves, all the people who have statics go to whatever DC their static is on, and all the casual players who run roulettes stay home and don't have the majority of us to party up with anymore. We used to have more banter and jokes in FC chat, which would lead to more chatting and people getting together to run content, but now it's become relatively empty. It's really sad.

DC travel and the ability to do content on other dc's is the culprit. All they could do to really fix it is suspend DC travel or disable doing content on another DC. This would sick for dynamis ppl

Woa people leaving DC coz DC sucks, maybe instead of disabling DC travel (coz next you gonna ask for disabling transfers), we just disable outdated DC thing itself? And make only one DC for each region? And allow players to use crossregion PF and DF? Coz maybe some of them playing on weird timezones.

Disabling Datacenter hops will only force players to drop the game or pay for transfer.

You know that there used to be zero DC or world travel at all, right? And the game existed quite comfortably. Servers actually had some semblance of community and identity to them, and PF was able to function properly instead of being overcrowded or a wasteland depending on the DC you were in.
