not enjoying the game because dynamis is dead

[missTori]

Basically title, also almost everyone I met so far is so rude in this game since I started in 2019

. I have no friends on dynamis and have to go to aether or crystal to do almost anything just to play with more passive aggressive people. Like just be rude to my face please.
Why should I have to spend money to solve a problem yoshi created?
I’m going to bed, have fun laughing at my rant, I’m just over it all

It's really strange that they kicked you from a map party, but I've never experienced that myself ever. The fact they even posted coordinates for you would suggest they didn't have a problem with you, but maybe they had others they wanted to invite suddenly (such as FC members) or maybe they'd opened the map too early.

That doesn't really relate to Dynamis though.

Dynamis will stay dead, the only solution is to transfer, the game isnt growing anymore and hasnt been for a long time, some people come back for patches and leave less than a month in, the cycle just repeats but there arent that many new players and a lot are not interested in a dead DC.

[Miohazuki]

They should either accommodate these servers in other existing ones or just close them altogether and giving free transfers to existing dynamis residents .
But I don't see op problem relating to server

[Nero-Voidstails]

it's dynamis it's dead and will never fill even with the Xbox player showing up it barely help I moved out once transfer were possible. Because after a month in DT I knew all que would get horrible fast and I was right! I don't think it's question of how rude people are I just think you were filling a role until other showed up still should have said tho but ya try moving to a other server might help

[Yoshihara]

Make Dynamis the Materia / Oceania of NA.
This would probably fix everything - It would allow EU players to play with NA players on their main accounts (or even international players from Elemental who wanted to play with an English speaking population).

Your far from alone. Just the people who agree with you have left. At least you left before you became passive aggressive by default unlike me. I've become not so much passive aggressive, but just passive. I just... can't... be... bothered. I'll leave if I viscerally just can't handle another unbalanced LoA. I'll just silently lurch my way through, if I get another guildhest with no sprouts in my mentor - all for tomes that are pointless - because it takes so long to accumulate enough to gear my alt job that the high end content will be over, and stretching out my opportunities to prog EX4 without a clear means I'm just bored and don't care.

In fact I'm going to finally say it for myself for the first time.
You should leave.
But not because it's 'not for you'.
It's just because it's become an unfun game.
Yes there is a subculture that has created their own meta-game outside the game, (QoL add-ons, guides, parsing, RP-addon-social, savage-social) and they enjoy that. But if we are taking the game itself, unfun. For you it's a dead DC. (Not the only hobbled DC), but there are a myriad of other issues you could bump into that take away from the fun. And CB3 already has a plan to change nothing too much really.
Let's face it there are infinite opportunities to create fun with the limitless creativity developing software allows. So it's not just a dead DC you are leaving for.
Your not alone in the sentiment.

Have you not found an fc or fellowship or static? I'd start there. I always see recruitment for fcs. Also it seems people from other servers use dynamis as a venue. So there are a lot of opportunities to be social and make friends who will run the game with you.

Tbh it wasn't just the map thing, that was really the tip of the iceberg.

Last night I was thinking that I don't enjoy the newer harder fights in this game anymore. I think my favorite extreme has been Hells kier. It just felt like that fight and older ones like God Kefka had more care when they designed it. Positioning the phoenix adds so they don't get revived, getting the damage buffs from the arrows, not falling off in p2, and watching the phoenix go around the arena exploding platforms based on color. The fights were more engaging without being information overload like Everkeep where you have to look at 4 different squares and solve 3 mental puzzles before you get 1 shot. Not to mention the absolute bloom light/laser overload of every fight now. It's just too much for my autistic brain.

There have been a few exceptions, like car titan savage. That was a lot of fun, I liked the uplift mechanic, but almost everything since then has been healer stack, buddies, wacky safe spot... I don't know if it's because jobs were different for stormblood raids. Now we have super simple jobs but 100 levels into the game, I guess this is the direction they are going with fight design.

Worqor has mountain fire which is probably the most fun reflex kind of thing you could do in a raid, but due to ping some people have problems with that mechanic. (It's where the serpent goes side-to-side very fast, and you have to run in front of him to avoid the aoe) It's also engaging for the tanks to swap tank buster, because it gives the player something that they CAN do. But even if we wanted reflex-based action, I don't think the game could handle it.

Yes, i should transfer to find a new fc. I actually applied to one on midgardsormr community finder, but then all of Aether got blocked before i could transfer. Something about the way yoshi refuses to admit any wrong with the way he's handled travel rubs me the wrong way. I think this is a very Japanese PR thing and likely many others have left the game by now because of weird decisions.

older fight feel better then the new one and that I will agree with the reason why I actually stopped doing high end content. It just doesn't feel the same at all my favorite is susano the reason number one I picked up a tank too!
