Yes, come to Dynamis so I can stay home and chill. Not like we'll be needing that many queues to begin with, especially if the first trial has Duty Support again. I'm hoping when we reach trials we can travel if need be…
Still, I'm very glad to see they took precautions and as a last resort we can just disregard ping and go to Oceania lolReply
my friend and i were playing on the OCE data center the past few days due to the free login campaign. 2am we could not get a PF for some of the patch 2.X trials…if 2am NA time is peak for OCE…im sorry to anyone staying in OCE

What was the point of moving to Dynamis, huh? 😔

I assume that returning to home world will still function. (and yes, even with cross-world, you can warp back to your home world within the character menu.) So JP players will likely be instructed to return home if there's too many people in one place.

In my experience,,,,The reason why JP DC is very strict on world travel is because mana is like Aeher/Light, (as many know) but not just that…………. it is during gold hours so full you cannot enter any worlds for tuesdays weekly reclears even after months. I did not see this in EU/NA yet. And I do not know if this is worse in JP but I do know massive amount of players, not 'a lot' but HUGE numbers, stay in Mana DC for months at a time, which also has caused many, many rechnical issue. Mana DC has been congested entirely since DC travel available. Ironically, all the players I play with in JP and friends, and others from LC have said "I wish this never happened, I miss being able to stay in my own DC" but FOMO is huge where people worried unable to raid / unable to travel to raid DC for clear/practices which led to people locked out of their homeworlds/permanently staying. I am glad they made more restrictions, but JP is really troublesome…. This is why they now enforced being logged out if you're not from the DC, because people refuse to go out .(moving DC is impossible to Mana) I think also a part of it, is because people's online times and the golden hours/active hours are very consistent, even downtimes while it changes, it stays consistent on times. Of course, I am only speaking of experience/others opinions in JP DC so my experience/opinions may not allign with others from JP DC. In any other DC there is no / barely PF, and another irony: there is usually around 500 PF during reclears, but filling pf takes long time because of competition. (Elemental DC is always filled with the English speaking community though!!! Which is nice to see also) But there is now huge diversity… more than ever before. ^^; I remember to go to weekly reclear, I'd have to, and have to in DT also move on Sunday/Monday so I have weekly chance on Tuesdays. We don't like it, I don't like it. (Same way I miss Crystal DC raiding. Lower clear rate, but VERY friendly/fun and positive attitude players!!! so I was never frustrated, I just cared about the fun through the runs…shoutout to Crystal raiders o/)

Hoping all the people traveling to Dynamis don't ruin the super kind culture we've got going on here. It's a stark difference between here and aether.

I agree… Stormblood and Endwalker congestion sucked a lot. Shadowbringers was super smooth. I hope to see this again.

If my memory is not failing, login queues were not mandatory and I remember being annoyed when they changed it. But the little network knowledge that I have reminded me that not having those queues was a really bad design.

Whelp I got therapy that day but hey I get my lunch, come home and nap. Then try later to get in if not be happy for those that get in. Also been glad I have people that will not SPOIL things! Had things spoil in the past but with this community nothing! So ye looking forward to it!

If somoen free to play or solos game this great for them but for me its like cool i basically removing one major social aspect of game by not being able talk friends or fc mates in game annnd i lose out on my fc buff fat chance. You need be putting 50m gil as incentive get me use travel to Dynamis or Oceanic

For what it's worth, at 5.00am this morning Australian Eastern Time there was a queue to log in to Materia. Manage your expectations.

Not a huge fan of a bunch of people coming to dynamis flooding the data center without guarantees people who's home data center it is get top priority

As a raider from crystal I have zero choice but to live on aether lol gonna miss my friends. My endwalker experience wasn’t really that bad. I used the queue time to workout lol

Can’t wait for the new Raubahn EX

You’re kinda a dick when it comes to the less populated servers. No one needs you chuckling when talking about them, they could be the saving grace to this release.

As a Dynamis player I cannot tell you how thrilled this makes me. Yeeeeessssss, force all the bastards who came here to snag the xp buff then abandon our queues be forced to play on their home DC. I can't wait XD. Not to mention it will make people travel TO Dynamis to be able to even play which will help us out so much.

So what if im logged out on aether

So I'm curious if I should preemptively travel to Dynamis for early access but if I do that I apparently won't have access to the same Aether duty finder which has really good queue times and I'll also not be able to play with my FC mates, get FC buffs, or access my retainers. My biggest worry with this is honestly not having access to my retainers as I plan to spend the entire first day just leveling Pictomancer to 90 and then getting it's lvl 90 gear set aside along with 1 or two other jobs. Because of this, two things that I will definitely want access to are my retainers to move excess gear around but more importantly the Aether duty finder which will hopefully be popping with lower level things along with higher level things. If significant people go over to Dynamis then MAYBE their Duty Finder will be pretty good but I just kind of doubt it. The problem is that I have zero experience with anything other than Aether and a single world on Primal which unfortunately wasn't a very good experience. Maybe I should just make a new character on Dynamis to get a feel for queues there to see if it's worth moving or if it would be better to just wait through the queues. After all, the Endwalker queues were really only horrendous because the queue kept breaking and kicking us out. I thought they had fixed that issues after the initial release as they said they found some old 1.0 code that was causing issues but this message makes it sound like that's still a possibility.

Can't even pre order DT cause my finances got screwed up somehow, so while that sucks, least I won't have to deal with the login ques as much once I actually can purchase the expansion.

I live in OCE and raid on savage on NA
The ping is doable, suck it up princesses :pReply

EU's peak is 24 hours a day.

i hope as an oce og player we get priority to log in over those that are coming to oce via data travel
Reply
The issue i have, is if home visit is disabled, we lose access to market board for all worlds apart from our homeworld, meaning crafters who need supplies are going to be screwed by increased inflation because they cant get supplies from other servers….. 😢😢😢
Reply
11:51 For the first three its a warning of when they will probably be congested. For OCE its a heads up of when enough people will probably be playing.

Populate dynamis so i don't have to keep world traveling

So dynamis hunt trains it is.

i really like how they plan all of this stuff to mitigate a congestion. And creating a post to point out what we have to do in case of congestion… 👏👏
Reply
i would really enjoy if they added a cross data center party finder system so we don't have to travel from primal/crystal/dynamis to find raids because people only raid on aether
