I am tired, too sleepy. Day job + this has me eepy
This won't be a problem…. I doubt we will have more than 20mins ques.
Plus I can't go voaot dynamis as. I have a house so I'm not roajomg not being able to come back.
Damn they went for the throat when they said that for automatic logout lmao
As somebody who moved their to Dynamis, I fear the queue for duties more than the log in queue as I hope in silence there magically wil be enough people to not make trails a nightmare long wait ^^""
i’m gonna be honest guys i’ll be getting on at about 7 am eastern on EA release. just let me get on first to make sure everything is alright then i’ll give you the ok!
Release the Kraken!!
Not sure what the issue is with the automatic logout, it's the fairest way to do it. Of course you should logout when you're not actively playing. When Endwalker launched, when I was finally able to login I saw people who programmed command loops to run in circles, jump around and do other specific actions so that they wouldn't be logged out, probably while they were sleeping. Meanwhile the rest of us who were working all day and came home couldn't login at all. For me the most radical suggestion I would give is not only an automatic logout but a playtime cap per day for the first few days. The community would riot, of course, but it would ensure there weren't any people staying logged in 24/7. It would be a poor business decision, though, so it most certainly won't happen.
Raubahn EX “bull of all amigos”is gonna be a tough one.
I play in the morning on crystal I’ll be laughing as I have no issues
All that reading just for them to say (( you may not be able to log in and play on the day of release so don’t take off from work just to play))
Working late nights means being up late nights. So I rarely experience the congestion issues.
Its not crazy for the "logout when you arent playing" message bc theres some players who never log out. Mint Dew is a very high end raider but theyre never logged off even when they arent doing anything
Attach string to joystick to rotating fan. Problem solved
As a Dynamis resident this partially fills me with joy. People will actually come to us and I can actually make use of my FC buffs
No one yet has been able to answer a question I keep asking on the score Phoenix Facebook pages. Let's say if right after the game launches and I log in and I go and get that free Fantasia and I go to Fantasia my character, I now have to leave the game edit my character and go back into the login queue again, thus adding further congestion? Or is the whole like our grace period now we're just does it all in game and you no longer have to lock out of the game?
Free trial users shouldn’t even bother during early access weekend
For new expansion congestion, I'll never forget having to get past Raubahn (Savage) in Stormblood. Here's hoping Dawntrail has a smooth launch.
During EW I logged in right as early access began and never logged out. When I went to sleep I would go to my private estate and clamp the analog sticks on my controller so there was always input, preventing the game from logging me out. I would then pray to RNGesus for no power outages or disconnections and managed to stay logged in for 3 days straight.
"Stagger player traffic" = MSQ quests in seperate areas to prevent funneling everyone in one spot early on ala Raubhan Savage/Pipin Ex
I think those NA times are a littttle off. 1pm-11pm PDT is 4pm-2am EDT… have you ever tried to que for something after midnight EDT on Aether? wait times are HUGE.
I'd say its more like… 11am-9pm PDT.
I think 'devised methods to stagger player traffic during msq progression' just means the same thing it does every expansion, that at the start you have 2 options where to go first. In ShB you could go find Ali, or Alphy first. In EW you could go with Thancred, Uri, and Estinien to Thav first, or you could stay and go to Labby with Y'shtola etc.
Oh right! I forgot about that possibility. 😅
For the first time in a while, I'm going back to Seraph
As a Dynamis player, I could care less if people don't come over to us. I like my limited toxicity and great community. Most of us are pretty friendly towards one another.
I'm an 11 year vet that has lived on multiple DC's and Servers over my time and Dynamis is FINALLY home.
I think staggering means prioritizing roulettes for the first msq instance, then then the second, etc as time goes on.
