Same. My Aether static had to replace a member at nearly the last second and our 8th member is from Dynamis. They have to come over to an Aether server the night before and then they've logged in during the day since they work from home and kept themselves logged in so they can be sure to make raid night. Our second night together last week they were on Aether but couldn't get logged into that server.

We could try to look into going to Dynamis but I've heard there are issues that way too and some of my friends have gotten stuck in limbo trying to go there. I believe it's because Seraph is getting congested. Plus most of us may not have time to deal with that between end of work and start of raid time.

And my friends in statics with players across various DCs are also having issues. SE is discouraging statics from being cross-DC with the current state of things.

If you have to go to Dynamis, pick Rafflesia, Kraken, Golem, or Cuchu as those are the least populated Dynamis worlds. The other 4, especially Seraph are the OG's and more populated by default. They will spike to 30/40 up to 50 login queue and cause limbo ever so often. If you're going strictly for raid and already have 8 people, just transfer to OCE for free. OCE has like a third to half of the population of Dynamis before Dawntrail and they're all in a different time zone which means their population isn't in prime time hours like NA's is. It's never going to be congested, period.

From my understanding about Seraph it's not trying to go to Seraph itself but that having even one congested world on the DC greatly reduces DC travel so Dynamis is experiencing some of the same issues that the other NA DCs are.

Yes and no. Seraph does affect the rest of Dynamis, but only Standard World classifications. There are none, so it functionally does nothing. The rest of Dynamis is classified as New instead of Standard like say Goblin.
