[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[Gember]

Must be nice not having a social life and wanting to play with friends

A lot of social groups got destroyed by DC travel. A lot of free companies fell apart because whoever decided to label data centers based off activities really caused a mess. If a friend wants to chill on their island gathering on Crystal, they can't talk to their friends who have to sit in town on Aether because they are trying to do some sort of content through party finder. So if you think people who enjoy the restrictions are some anti-social no lifes; you need to educate yourself on the community who was hurting from this. Were literally the opposite of what you accused us of. We miss our social groups, our friends, and everything else that DC destroyed due to poor community decisions. Some of my friends have quit this game because our DC had no life on it, and being forced to do content in a completely different space. DC travel was not a good design at the start.

Even more social groups were maintained and thrived as a result of DC travel than not. The benefits of it far exceed the negatives.

It's been said before, it'll be said again. DC travel was inevitable, it's not our fault that they didn't plan ahead with it. But the genies out of the bottle now, and heavy handed moves like the one they made with this change is absolutely crippling. I continue to be baffled by the contrarians coming in here with their blinders on saying these changes are actually a good thing, they're not. It's so painfully obvious how horrible they are for the game health at this stage and it cannot continue for very long like this.

All this just to force people into a dead DC. Great move.

It's too late, the damage is done. The wound has gone necrotic and the body has gone septic. People have left FCs to transfer to Aether, statics have broken apart, venues have seen a lot less traffic, social circles are broken, and people are quitting for all the reasons above. People have left my FC, my friends list is barren from people having quit. My venue use to see > 80 people every Friday night up until DT release, and now we're struggling to see more than 30 on a good night, and their number one complaint is having to fight the DC Travel every week.

Everyone was hoping they would have treated the wound with 7.1 and made the game healthy again, but it seems that CBU3 is stubborn/incapable of making smart decisions.

It really doesn't help that the community as a whole zips their mouth when it comes to problems that actually affect the games health. Like dude, the dev team SEES us. They've proven already that they see us. All the useless complaints and vitriol lobbed against non issues relating to character cosmetics or voice acting choices / story directions YoshiP has LITERALLY responded to personally. And yet things like this, so few people actually talk about it. The ones that do, creating posts like this, CBU3 ignores.
