As someone who moved to Dynamis for housing, I'm actually going to enjoy being able to queue for roulettes without having to leave. It'll probably be the best few weeks of the expansion lol

Glad to see the timeout coming back. Even if it's only for a while. There are people on my server that have been AFK in one spot for more than two years. Coincidentally I have never logged into the game once in two years without at least a small queue. Toilet needs flushed. Also, if people take Zepla's advice of "just run with duty support" that will virtually guarantee a Raubahn Savage situation. It's a bad idea.

Yeah, this is what people have been praying for for a while, because if everyone just stopped going to aether for their roulettes then dymanis would have a perfectly healthy DF queue time.

The thing that's good about them shutting down datacenter travel is that all of the players who travel from Dynamis now have to play on their world so we'll finally get an idea of how the queues would be if everyone played here. I'm sorta stuck on Dynamis. My hope was to get off right before maintenance but my world I wanna go to is congested so probably not. So I get priority over the people visiting but I'm stuck on Dynamis. I really hope PVP starts really popping here.

I mean 90% of the population on Dyna are people that wore out their welcome on other servers by being toxic pieces of trash.

As someone who lives in Dynamis, I am not worried about not being able to travel to do content. Dynamis does not need to travel to do content, but when the servers were new, we did as we didn’t have the population. We have the population now. It’s just a matter of breaking the habit of travel.

Dynamis player here. I'm honestly pretty excited for the DC to be busy.

As someone who's homeworld is Sargatanas, I whole heartedly agree with the sentiment of GIT OFF OUR LAWN! 😂 Sarg's already gonna be a shitshow trying to log in next weekend, we really don't need off-worlders trying to hang out with their favorite streamer clogging up the works. You can see them on stream for a little while instead of needing to be there lmao.

Savage will not come out for a month after EW release. Data centre travel being disabled will not affect statics outside of running extremes in preparation for savage, which can be done on Dynamis and Shadow.

So what they are saying is once I get in, at bedtime, stay in and put something heavy on my movement button against a wall.

They are saying there's two situations in which you get error 2002, and one is before you have entered the queue - in that situation, they want you to wait a bit. In the situation it's *while* in queue, then you have a spot reserved for a short time.

I can agree with maybe Cross-Region Travel for English speaking DCs, but absolutely not during DT Launch that would just risk Dynamis being even more hammered by overflow. We aren't as populated sure but still potentially eating overflow from like 5-6 Different DC if it was Cross-Region like would only screw Dynamis queues. But yeah the Dynamis reception has actually been the opposite of Zepla's Take. We're happy for this because it means we'll actually be populated and get queues on our own worlds WITHOUT having to DC travel or post PFs.

It's not just about looting rules, as someone in OCE that used to be in JP, raiding culture and etiquette is completely different, and I am %100 sure most NA wouldn't bother to learn or change their habits. There is a reason JP is the only servers you can actually just queue for difficult content and expect to do it. When everywhere else needs statics and party finder groups.

There really will be a huge healer shortage, but it'll be because everyone is playing the new jobs, and we've knowing it was coming since the jobs were first announced at fanfest.

Servers crashing? I remember when Yoshi P was asked about adding butt sliders and he said it would break the game.

I'm ready for the infinite queues. I'll just watch Emet Selch dance for me as I sit in Queue, just like I did with End Walker.

Just log in between 2am and 6am.

IF they opened everywhere region travel there would be culture shock. I did some PVP on OCE and a Japanese player was spamming the same 2-3 macros one every 20 seconds for the entire fight. Telling people where to go and saying when they had LB with a 3 2 1 count down with sounds. And someone else said "they're a good player, we didn't lose because of them" when people complained about it being distracting. I recorded it to show someone privately, and I won't post that here because it has their names, but it's a 2 minute video of me scrolling to the top and back down again. So was a minute of scrolling in the chat and just walls of text and sound queues I didn't hear for roughly 10-12 minutes. It was so over the top to me and I've done a lot of Frontlines. Usually for NA you can sorta communicate between macro leaders or they're simple enough to follow "focus red" "warning pinch" etc. I've never seen anything like what that JP player was doing. Looking at it right now, 25 individual lines posted in 1 minute. Edit: in game minute. I have time stamps on my messages. I think it would be good only if creators put out guides and talked about what the rules and cultures are like for each region. 13:15 is when I paused. I don't know any JP rules. All I know is they and EU use more macros and I know JP has savage in roulettes, and frankly most of NA will get mad at Extremes in roulettes unless they're really good mentors. (And no one should be mad about that cuz free trial can't ask for it in party finder anyway. Just saying.)

dawg, I love dynamis

Best strat is to have two instances of the launcher open, login into one and have a second with your UN and PW ready and pre-typed so you can just hit connect as soon as you crash the first window

I don’t think it will be as bad as end walker for the fact they learnt from that launch and you need to remember endwalker was when people where mad at blizzard and stopped playing WoW. A lot of them have gone back to WoW so that will help a lot.

If I don't get in fast enough I just won't be able to play since my windows to play are pretty short. Which is fine honestly, just the way these things go sometimes. A good thing about this game is that if I did get behind my friends they would be happy to just run the dungeons with me when I get to it so it works out.

Back in the queue for several more hours, your character gets logged in succssfully! 4. However you fell asleep in your chair waiting and your character times out after 30 minutes. 5. You wake up to find your game has disconnected and you have to start all over again. 6. Rinse, Repeat

Unfortunately: as a NA player, going to a JP server could lead to a LOT of unpleasantness. While I can't speak for EU: NA has more than one person or group of people who thrive in racism, sexism, xenophobia, and other "questionable" behaviors. While NA to EU or other English speaking data centers usually brush such behavior off as "bad manners" or some such: JP player might not appreciate or understand such "bunarchy l." IMHO, SE has done the right thing by leaving JP "protected." Having said that: it has been mentioned in say chat that FCs have "partnered" with other FCs on Dynamis or Oceania to have a "meeting place" for players from other DCs to meet together until the congestion "calms" down. I guess that is something that is a good way for players to interact with other players outside their "normal" circles.

Moreover, people from Aether, Primal and Crystal are going to have long queue times to get into the game, and will look to Dynamis for shorter login queues. This will increase the Dynamis population further, but priority will still goes to those whose home server is on Dynamis.
