[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[xanatosdc]

The same defenders of this whole "congestion" from this thread will tell you that it clearly makes sense and that only people going on aether are the big bad guys, but going to balm is okay

Mmmhmm. I will never know, because I muted them "all". Well. The 2 or 3 of them, because they clearly are a minority.

Feel free to gaslight each other and fantasize about what you think people have said. It's honestly weird to see and it honestly isn't a good look at all.

Edit:
Literally no one said anything to defend that decision but you're already putting words into people's mouths because you want to mald about it. Kinda yikes.

Mald about it ? I am more than happy Balmung is open, now I dont have to deal with congestion anymore, I have absolutely nothing to be mad about.

For the best really

Balmung congested 24 7 basically except on off times
-> SE opens transfer there



I love when things make sense

Oh, I busted out laughing seeing Balmung open. The fact Balmung opened before ANY world on Aether shows how much SE hates the idea of even giving Aether hope xD

I am on Seraph and even on primetime you are waiting more than 5 minutes to get a group for a duty and I'm a healer. On other DCs you'll get an instant join.
Not to mention M1-4.

It seems the Physical DCs are running separately, or in other words: they don't know each other.

1) From what someone explained on reddit a few years ago, essentially your home data center holds your character data and they have to cut and paste your character to another data center's database. That is the process of the DC Travel and why we don't have the ability to send tells etc. across DC's yet. From a simple standpoint, even just making a clone of your character across every DC that you'd want to communicate with, would be a ridiculous stresser to the database as you'd be looking at storing 4x the load just for the same region, assuming cloning is even possible and cut and paste isn't the only method. That is likely the reason why fixing the issue for cross DC communication would take 3 years as Yoshi P said because they'd have to make significant hardware changes and or uproot that foundational system of communication entirely.

2) I'm going to ignore the complaint about a 5 min wait since that seems like a bait.

If you're a visitor from another world. DC Travel restrictions are exactly the same even after the change. Balmung will be the test on if a normal visitor cap can even be reached since it's going to be grey'd out for travel still.

lmao I knew I'd still get blamed for trying to raid on a Thursday by that VoidsentStatus person. It's clear to me now looking through some of the backlog that they just hate Aether players for some reason. Onto my ignore list they go.

Heaven forbid I like going to big events and raiding with people across different DCs. This change sucks and is killing my enthusiasm for the game. DC travel allowed me to meet with and befriend so many more people that I never would have been able to play with before, and now we're separated again. It's bad. It sucks. And I will keep telling Square Enix this.

Like I told someone else, don't come to another Data Center with the same expectations as your old one, especially comparing it to Aether when all of queue expectations from there are never going to happen again. And I hate Aether players because they come in expecting every data center to have the same queue's as them when they were a superserver status that should've never existed. One of the other people that complained about Dynamis went over to Primal to have the same queue's if not worse than they did on Dynamis and blamed people sneaking over to Aether for it. Every single one that has came to the thread has sounded entitled to hell and oblivious to the state of the other data centers, but love to trash Dynamis specifically despite it literally being less than a year old of having a functional community for most content compared to other worlds that have 5-10 years of history.

Superservers got killed off in WoW years ago and now they're getting killed off here. When it comes to superservers, the developers don't care about you or your friends and the devs from WoW at least told players to their face that their friendships don't matter in a forum post directly. Square is telling you indirectly that your opinion isn't important compared to other servers and you still haven't gotten the message.

Or me for wanting to talk to a friend whose easiest way to be reached is via /t, and is is on Primal. I'm gonna skippa skippa that person and their opinions.

How dare you want to play with your friends and raid with people from other DC's

Arent you ashamed of yourself ? Muh congestion !

You will not talk to your friends, start thinking about the fake congestion and not about your friends, this isnt an MMO !

I think these data center changes are fine to an extent, but it also made raiding on other data centers a bit of a pain. For example, I got to Perfect Alexander in TEA right before Dawntrail release day and couldn’t get a clear on time, so I waited to continue after I finished MSQ.

It is actually impossible to fill a whole c41 group in any other data center. TEA groups would take a while to fill in aether, but they filled nonetheless. But in Primal, Crystal or Dynamis? It is impossible. You’ll at max get 3 people. Everyone going to aether to PF was useful for people like me who cannot find statics due weird job schedules. I accept the changes but I won’t lie and say they’re the best for everyone.
