Great DC Travel System BTW

If people didn't pile on Aether this wouldn't have been necessary. The community F'd around and found out.

This happened to several other players yesterday in the EU. Light -> Chaos travel was almost impossible.

I am currently trapped in the queue for DC travel, it kicks me out and closes the game over and over, it just puts me back into the queue when I open the game again, and I can't cancel it. My game is inoperable. Please fix.

EDIT: This is on EU.

Im also in a queue....i am a bit worried now. D:

Same. Now I'm trying to return home and I've been stuck on the timer screen while the game has force closed 5 times

“ In the interest of encouraging an even distribution of active players across all Worlds, login caps for the Data Center Travel and World Visit systems are now tied to World classification (Standard, New, Preferred, Congested).”

This could be the cause

It is the cause. There were no issues with DC travel until that change.

I have an insane idea: What if the game actually told players the world status and whether or not DC travel is restricted instead of letting them blindly get caught in a 4 hour long wait for a world that has a 30 player queue? Another genius-level execution of a system that wasn't having problems. Also appreciated: The heads up about this change before people got stuck during the first day of savage. I'm sure they're very happy about that.

Smol edit: I was not one of those players lmao. I haven't dc traveled since EW

Europe here, it's a disaster. Met some great people right before Dawntrail on the other datacenter, formed a little group split down the middle between Chaos and Light. Then they announce we're basically not gonna be able to do content together for the first 4 weeks. Okay, fine. Now they "lift the lock" but made it so much worse. My group planned maps with the release and it seriously took an HOUR to try and figure out where we'd go because changing datacenters to restock maps just isn't going to cut it. And this was on Omega, a world that's not even known to be filled to the brim. A world that had a "queue" of 23 while it was kicking the others out over being "congested."

Now we're not sure if we're going to be able to properly do synced content together at all, because adding upwards of an hour just to be able to coexist is genuinely awful.

This is probably their solution to try and keep PF localized within datacenters again to hopefully avoid actually having to solve the "universal PF" problem and sure, it's working to an extent, but this is coming YEARS too late, when many people have formed cross-dc connections. I've been incredibly happy with the expansion, story aside, but this is genuinely giving me cause to unsubscribe because at this point I might as well go play a game with them that *does* let me play with them.

I'm pretty sure their servers have crashed, I've been stuck in an inifite queue with no estimated travel time for 45 minutes, it keeps crashing and putting me back in the queue when I log in. And I'm going to DYNAMIS.

Think we can all send our grievances over here as well?: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...Travel-Changes

Not my thread, but if everyone speaks up in one place, they may hear better.
