[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[BeanBunny]

I registered just to post in this thread. These data center travel restrictions are egregious. I cannot get out to my friends and they can't come to me in a game meant to be played with other people. The restrictions are game-ruining and need to be lifted.

Agreed. But they don't even acknowledge that it's a problem.

no the problem was opening DC travel door at all. All it has led to is people amassing on 1 DC thinking its the only place they can go to accomplish anything when they accomplished everything fine prior to its availability. SE should just own its mistake and shut it down completely.

And keep those of us with friends across DCs from playing with our friends? And kill the venue scene completely?

Great solution. Awesome. Not.

If this was a reply to me I'm gonna clarify: lol no?
One, new DC would be separated yes. Since it's new, no one is there yet.
So you wouldn't be kept from anyone and no one would be kept from you. Your venue scenes would, on the current DCs, go back to normal.

If your stance is "no, even if a new DC is made, it MUST be accessible to me because it might potentially have venues or I might want to meet someone there" then I don't really get it, I mean I kind of get it, but you can't make one exception? On a completely new, empty DC...??

If this wasn't a reply to me, feel free to ignore this, but my suggestion's entire purpose is to restore the game back to DC travel as it was just a bit ago and add one separate place with no DC travel as a compromise for those who *want* the privacy and culture of a secluded DC.

so how did they exist BEFORE DC travel existed because they didn't just start happening after DC travel came around.

Ah, yes, because that's what RP is about. Dance emotes. Shows that you have zero clue.

I'd be in favor of banning Travelers from the Party Finder completely, and forever. with just the exception of Private tab PF so people can remain in statics.
Or maybe even keeping the private tab PF for one tier, with the next one banning that too. I wouldn't doubt a lot of people might just put the passwords up in private.

Cross DC travel was supposed to be a way to play with your friends on other dcs. Not a way to create super datacenters, there should had never been PF for travelers in the first place.

I'm definitely someone who didn't really look forward to DC travel and even less to the idea of cross region but also understood why everyone wanted it and also thinks the cat is basically out of the bag.

So I kind of don't want to try putting it back in. At least not entirely. But this probably wasn't it either lol. I'm not sure what they think they're cooking.

Even though I have too many characters and can't even play right now (blooooooom) there is a situation I'd be kind of happy with but it feels grossly pipe dreamy and I'm not sure what would actual happen if it was attempted.

All the current DCs go back to EW DC travel state because it's already too late and then we get a new DC that stays quarantined. One per region. It just abides by the old DC rules, you either start your character on it or pay for a transfer.

Probably would flop or turn out weird though. I can't imagine it actually working well. Somehow I feel it would either stay a ghost town, confuse new people who want to DC travel and don't understand the rules, or it would turn out like Aether but you pay to get in and out. Lol.

Good job Square idk maybe set it all on fire again tbh
