      @@hammsuke3981 I don't understand why people keep bringing this up. When people say cross-DC PF, they do not mean cross region. Cross-DC PF should be locked to your physical DC, i.e. the DC you can actually travel to. So all of NA DC will have one unified PF, and all of JP DC will have another unified PF. This will solve 90% of the problem with PF. This isn't rocket science.

      @rjhick1 tbh i see this take so many times, and it's so dumb. Pf raiding is not the only activity in the game, statics from different dcs can be formed and people can RP and play with friends whose characters are in other dcs. There's zero reason for them to drop cross dc just because of pf, it's a necessary evil until they figure out cross region pf.

      Not just that, but it doesn't help to have parties split across dcs. It's not like the same amount of people will raid on each DC as on Aether. If it was all in one DC, most of the people that want to raid can find parties easier because there's a higher concentration of raiders.

    Ive been saying since anabaseios that this will kill casual raiding. Yes hardcore raiders and ultimate raiders will still dc travel and its no big deal because thats all they do.
    But the average player doesnt do thst. The sverage player just opens pf and sees how much or how little people are doing and if theres content they want to do they hop in otherwise they go do something else. Theyre not going to take the extra step of dc travel to go and raid. It may not sound like a big deal but humans are lazy and they will rake any obstacle ad a sign to not do something.
    No one is complaining because the vocal minority of hardcore raiders dont have an issue. But the average raider is far more casual and theyre just...not raiding like they used to.

    These new changes are so stupid it’s insane. I get people want to raid on their home dc but everyone is going to want to go to aether to raid because that’s the most populated and that’s where most of their friends are. They need to do a cross dc pf and then remove the restrictions two months after a savage tier. SE new DC travels rules are so stupid the game lies to your face saying the servers are congested when everyone whose in aether has a 1-5 person queue in all the servers in aether including peak times now they shouldn’t punish the people who wanted to transfer to dynamis. Next patch expect most raiders to just server transfer back to aether because the restrictions are ridiculous.

    It was a mistake to enable DC travel without cross-DC PF. A unified PF for every region should be SE's top priority at this point.

      on the other hand, it allowed friends from other DCs to simply play together without having to homeworld xfer, leaving their FCs and partners in the process
      but if they did wait for cross DC PF to launch it, we wouldnt have DC travel until at least patch 8.0 at the earliest and be forced to deal with login queue (ultimate) again with no way to allieviate it this expac. theres so many variables, pros, and cons to just focus on one specific desired outcome

    I would probably agree that players shouldn't be allowed to travel to either Primal or Aether unless your character is from Dynamis and maybe Crystal. If Dynamis especially didn't have the ability to move, then raiding would be incredibly difficult. They do not have a very large player base to begin with, and a significant portion of the people who are there are new to the game.

    • @Sonicrida

  • @Diddz
    @Diddz 2 місяці тому +1

    i'm sure that cross DC pf would need more than simply linking parties like CWP does as when you queue the group in, which datacenter's duty server is used? have they liked the DC duty worlds together? do they make a new set of mini servers to facilitate duties commenced by parties from multiple datacenters?, do they pick a random DC to force visit others to first, then zone them into the duty using that DC's duty server? (repeats the DC travel problem but just automated). they probably have to develop a cross-DC-duty world thats all logical Datacenters share first before they can deploy cross DC party queueing hence the absurdly long implementation forecast. this is just my guess. alternatively. they could spend multiple expacs completely rewriting and overhauling the entire server structure and potentially botch the playability experience for everyone. costing money and player count (or worse, cause a need to delay patches and expacs to fix said botch)

    If FCs could transfer from one world to another completely intact without losing anything I'd 100% move again.

As someone who played on Aether for 5 years and now I'm on Crystal and have been here for over 3, I can safely say that Crystal's raiding scene is there. People just tend to either get bogged down by all the RP venues in PF or they have a more hardcore mindset and don't want to deal with Crystal's more casual approach.

    Sure, you lose some quality of life activities you could do, but if you're going over there to raid, do you really need your retainers, your house or timed nodes? The value of having a universal pool of everyone doing an activity together in one place was way better then splitting it across all these different pools.
    Farming wings right now, there's a lot of times where there's 0 or 1 group doing Everkeep extreme because I'm doing it a month behind the hype, and if that 1 group doesn't need a role I feel comfortable filling, I'm stuck either transfering around and hoping I find something elsewhere, or putting my own group up and waiting for it to fill, I cleared all of DSR & Savage in EW through PF, and a rarely spent more then 5 minutes waiting for a group since everyone was in the same pool.

    You talk a lot about PF and that one isn't even affected by the change. The biggest part of the game that was affected by this BS change was the hunting scene - more specifically S ranks, with it being nigh impossible to get to them in time without using auto tp plugins, which a LOT of people do.
    P.S. y'all are coping if you think PF is better without DC travel lol. If anything itll just force ppl to make alts and relog to raid lol. Having all players go to the same DC to raid is the sole reason Ultimates are even clearable in PF.

    The problems with DC travel honestly for me have nothing to do with whatever my home DC is being dead, I don't really care where I'm playing, I care that there are as many pfs as possible with as many people as possible there.
    We shouldn't even be dealing with data centers to begin with, wow has everyone in each region playing together, there's no west coast east coast difference anymore. The way DC travel has been handled just makes me angry

      I was really hoping that their cloud data center test would've been the beginning of a more unified data center but we haven't really heard much about the results of that since last year

    They need to downsize on the amount of server worlds now that it’s overly bloated and a ton of worlds are just dead now. Then add in cross DC duty finders, at least tied to the region you’re in. Hope it gets better for everyone as time goes on, I personally quit the game after completing DT, the game just isnt the same for me anymore.

    Iirc, CU3 said DC travel uses different tech/code from World Travel, which may mean making Cross-DC PF is much harder than it looks(considering the Spaghetti code the game has, it may even be impossible unless they rework the entire server system from the ground up, which would take more time away from releasing actual content).
    If it is, I hope they can figure out a way to make it work, since this has been a problem ever since DC travel has been introduced.

    A simple solution.
    - Don't be in a static
    - Don't take the game so serious as if your life depends on it to the point where you're taking days off work.
    Lmao. Now let's see how many FFXIV cultist this will upset.

      @franksta21 2 місяці тому +13

      How is that an issue? If people have the time and resources to take this option, there is nothing wrong with that. It is common practice for statics to take time off that go for a week one clear. That way, when it comes time for reclears, they can dedicate a few hours on one day instead of multiple days throughout the week. Nothing wrong with looking at something from a different perspective.

      Most of the people taking time off are good enough at the game they they would rather just do the entire tier in a week and have experienced it than try to schedule out the raid prog over the course of a month or longer. The initial day of the tier release is also usually the best time to make gil for the tier if you are making tinctures or food.
