Please help Dynamis

It won’t really fix the DC travelling problem but they could alleviate it somewhat by just locking all of aether

Right now they are just cycling 2-3 aether worlds that are locked at a time and keeping the other 5 open then repeating it the next time so aether is just constantly inflating without any really stopping mechanism

Jenova is now the third busiest server in the game; jenova used to be known as Aethers sleepy little brother

Aether as a whole needs to be disincentivised for non aether residents because it’s hurting both groups

Also again once the hype dies down, there will be a drop off. And if everyone knows Aether is the place, they will just transfer there after the dust settles. And Dynamis will still be dead. So the only solution we have is to be treated like overflow parking for an event. It is useful to have, but more often than not unused.

Pretty much really, at this point Dynamis is only good for housing, every other DC is superior for everything else. An "overflow parking" seems about the right term

Sad thing is that even if everyone did not move to Aether for content as they currently tend to, we would still be in a worse spot than the other Data Centers due to being stuck at half the servers. I would ask when we would get those other 4 servers, but 4 more servers of people who just leave to queue for content won't help anyway.

I wish we could just get cross Data Center PF and Duty Finder.

I guarantee you Dynamis will have a population that far exceeds your expectations when the expansion drops. Sorry to burst your little bubble of doom and gloom.

Quoting this for reference after around 6-8 months post Dawntrail.

I share the same sentiments as someone else on this thread. I don't really want you to be wrong, but I have a feeling that once the post DT patches drop it's going to be back to the usual. We might also have a small burst from Xbox players before DT.

Probably the worst part is that during DT release a lot of the players on Dynamis(all 8 servers with the 4 new ones added by then) will likely be from other NA DCs trying to get faster log in queues.

DT’s pre launch patch should force everyone back to their own DC and lock them down until at least the savage patch comes out

Whether it’s people trying to log on quicker using dynamis or aether getting longer queues because half of primal and crystal live on aether it’s going to be a mess

I've stated this a few times, and I've actually gotten backlash over it("But then I can't play through the expansion release with my besties from other DCs!").

I'm not entirely sure if SE cares either. It makes common sense to me for this to be done but who knows.

Never heard of this heading to Aether thing until now. Crystal fills all content, including EX trials and all raiding content. I've never once had a problem searching for anything to do while on the crystal DC, so sounds like it's a dynamis specific problem if people from that server move to Aether for whatever reason

nah it happens on crystal not on the scale of dynamis though but go to aether its a different story there with the PF.

The problem is finding ways to give players incentives to stay on their home worlds or disincentives for traveling to other worlds that will catch their attention. I had brought the subject up earlier in the year but no one could think of a way to do it that others would agree to. No one wants to feel like they're missing out on a benefit or being penalized due to choice of world.

I think it’s mainly because time is our most valuable resource. No amount of gil, housing, or exp is going to make up for someone consistently filling queues. The brass tax of it is time. You need players to do conent with, and Aether has most of them. Honestly, no incentives are ever going to work. But if we remove the importance of the server, then we fix the problem. Once it's all linked and I can insta queue on Dynamis or fill a pug on the PF, these threads stop. The reality of it being objectively stupid to play on Dynamis stops. Balls in your court SE. Balls in your court.

And that would fix Primal and Crystal as well. And before someone shouts my server identity, I think you're nuts if you think any of it still exists. On Dynamis right now, the amount of venue spam I get for Crystal is nuts. The amount of foreign players, honestly, just for hunts is nuts. Aether has to feel like New York City in comparison. Brimming with more tourists than locals if you follow me.

Why this was already a low pop, data center travel was a mistake....Primal suffered the same fate. They should revert it or make it a social aspect only, completely banned PF/queue for travelers
