Snapshot of PF activity on North American data centers

Jojoya has probably had this explained to them several hundred times across their years of forum use why blaming the players in cases like this is irrational.

They're just here to relentlessly defend every single thing Square does as some kind of bizarre hobby, and conversations with them will frankly never be productive. "Everyone will talk in circles accomplishing nothing while the problem will persist" is more a statement of their intentions, rather than an observation of reality.



What an incredibly bitter person.

But still true. Did people seriously forget how much requested this feature was? Id say you get what you deserve.

This is a problem that will be entirely rectified if/when they figure out cross data center party finder and duty finder which YoshiP has mentioned as a real possibility many times. The most recent mention of it involved the admission that they are still encountering bugs but that they will implement it if/when they do get to the bottom of the problems. I'm just playing the waiting game because I really think this will be sorted out eventually and as it is having to data center travel for raid isn't really a big deal.

Them having probelms getting cross dc groups to work. Makes me think they are going the hop scotch route of doing it.

What an incredibly bitter person.

Truth hurts sorry not sorry.

This strikes me as a very odd take. It's like saying "it's not my fault I drank bleach, it's your fault for leaving it on the table!" Are you arguing that the community collectively has the mind of a three year old and can't control themselves or use any level of critical thinking?

Don't get me wrong, SE is equally responsible for not fully thinking through DC travel before implementing it, but even if you concede that everyone clustering on one DC is a no brainer and nothing but beneficial, which I do not think is the case at all, that doesn't absolve the community of any responsibility for its current predicament. People are responsible for their own actions. They weren't mind controlled or coerced into their behavior by anything other than their own short sighted self interest. If everyone decided to stop dogpiling on Aether tomorrow, the problem would cease to exist.



Water can't stop and think "hmm maybe what I'm doing is stupid in the long run."



Your social ineptitude is your own problem.

SE has learned and still is learning, as for the player base. Well its still laying on the railroad tracks getting hit by the train.

IMO, instead of a world visit system I feel like they should have invested in a way to consolidate PF/DF and the instancing servers to accommodate people from different worlds/data centers being able to be matched together.

Granted, it is just before 9am Pacific time on a weekday, but i've never had more than a few minute queue to get into almost any current content. today, as a healer on Lamia i'm sitting at 38 minutes and counting trying to get into Thaleia with 2/3T, 4/6H, and 11/15D, don't know if this is end of expansion die off, or data center travel (probably a combination of the two). I've noticed this gradually over the last month that queues are getting longer (somehow I still have a que to login to the game though)

Went through each of the Regions doing a player search, and at around 8am was only just over 700 people on lamia. Not the most accurate count I'm sure, but probably the best way that is available to us to check. No zone hit the cap on player search.
