[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[xanatosdc]

Any of that would require that they care at all about their player base outside of getting our money

It is pretty annoying cuz while trying to get my girlfriend into the game she kept hitting barrier of entry upon barrier of entry trying to make a character on my data cluster, ended up having to go to a completely different one and I'm scared to do any DC travel right now lol. RIP.

I agree with the OP. Ever since these travel restrictions I have not been able to progress with the savage raids because of the low population on Dynamis. The selections for PF is really low. On average there are 10 groups and most are empty or fresh. Not at the same prog point that I'm at. Lot's of times I see these groups have been waiting for 30 minutes or longer. It's really unfair that the players on Dynamis have to be disadvantaged in their progress thru this savage tier because we can't travel to a more populated server that would otherwise have a ton more groups in PF allowing us to progress faster.

Another thing that's really making me mad is that sometimes I can travel to another datacenter like Aether but when I get there I can't login. Why are you allowing me to transfer if I can't login? Completely wasting my time!

It's really aggravating!

I made my character on Crystal back when Crystal had bonuses for character creation there. I'd be much more inclined to take the free homeworld transfer to Dynamis if it didn't mean potentially being stuck there.

We had our event last night and the crowd that showed was honestly pretty decent - certainly lighter than it had been pre-Dawntrail, but we had more people than I'd expected based on what I'd been hearing. It was kind of a hassle for people to hop over to Crystal, but the ones who did so early managed to get there in plenty of time for the event. I still don't think the situation is great, I wish the system would just go back to the old way it worked, but it's not as big a blow to the RP community as I'd worried it might be. If it continues to be a hassle for people to transfer over though, then I would wager fewer people will bother with it.

This is actual suicide for the game to not allow people in as much as they were.

Restrict the marketboard entirely if you must, but you can't just open the floodgates for two years, then go 'Nah this is dumb' and put severe restrictions on it. All this will do is enrage people who are used to dc travel, and likely kill Dynamis completely, let alone Materia. How Materia even deals with being a literal gaol DC is beyond me.

If the changes remain like this, or even worse, get further restricted, you basically locked every static who somehow isn't on the same datacenter to make some members choose to sacrifice everything they worked for on something that isn't guaranteed. Hope you're not part of an Ultimate static because if this goes further, you might as well not even bother unless you're all on the same dc, which I can count on my hand the amount of those that exist now.

DC travel is what made many of the statics even be remotely possible now. Personally speaking, I will lose the static I'm in since we'd be cut into thirds, and lol Crystal.

Brainrot decision at its finest.

I hate this congestion restrictions they brought in as well when reopening it why open it anyway if there are issues still
I want to run things cause my dc is dead a lot of the times but having to hop onto 7 different servers cause a world is full with 3 people in the q waiting is great

They implemented a feature that people used for 2 years with no problems only to implement so many restrictions that makes it feel like it's completely removed and make you wonder why implement a feature just to make it so people can't make use of it.

Is what they're doing necessarily the best answer. Probably not. But, whatever it takes to bring growth to Dynamis and make it inconvenient for everyone to just run to Aether.

Not sure this will help Dynamis grow. If anything I'd encourage people not to roll on Dynamis. Especially as raiders or rpers. Unless your friends are already here, you run the risk of getting trapped and unable to interact with them.
