Dawntrail launch log-in queues

[Carin-Eri]

Intend to take at least one day off work to get started with Dawntrail, but am thinking it may be better to do so a week or so after launch. Not sure I see much value in spending most of my day off looking at a message like this

I will just be playing my dynamis characters. I can get back to my main when things calm down a bit

See, I was going to say Dynamis but I have a suspicion that a lot more people than we think will try to go to Dynamis to escape queues now that this restriction is in place. Materia has the advantage of worse ping so I think less people will be going there, at least on the NA side of things. That, at least, is my plan as I find the ping hardly noticeable.

I will admit I have an advantage many do not in that I am retired. So I am able to play in very off peak times if I choose. For me the ping on Materia was a gamebreaker.

Interesting, I've personally never experienced that and I live on the East Coast. Sorry to hear that.

If you can get to Materia it might be the best option to avoid that.

Assuming the lag doesn't get you. I played on Materia (when I live in NA) for awhile. The following was a frequent problem for me.

In the trial where you have to jump on the whales back in Heavensward. I would see the whale pull up along side the platform and immediately jump to its back...and fall to my death as the whale had in reality already left. That kind of delay can be VERY hard to live with. In the end it was why I left Materia as I really loved the people there.
