Yeah if you think about it though this makes sense. They did the same thing for world visit for shadowbringers before it came out. when DC travel does come in 5.58 it's going to be in Beta for all of us to test out and so they can fix any bugs before endwalker.
I can see it being in beta i 5.58 for a while and I HONEST hope they bring the AFK timer with it or servers are gonna get overwhelmed just by people AFKing just looking at Limsa or any of the main city states
I'm from JP DC and most of the JP ppl here are not looking forward to this if it allows EU/NA to come to JP DCs. Usually when NA/EU players visits JP DCs they tend to bring their western ideologies and strats to force on JP players instead of adopting the native. So it's bound to have some issues. Also why JP ONLY pt still exists.
International Hunt Trains gon be lit
Will be able to raid while visiting the other DC?
wow i thought it'd be in like patch 6.5
Nani?
Weird. Can’t find this on the lodestone preliminary patch notes or the special site 🤷🏼♀️ wonder why it’s only on steam
I saw on aus ff14 facebook page about this i thought it was a troll
Holy crap the 30 min dps q times will be 10-15!!!
I was hoping it'd be a long time before they did this, world visit was a mistake imo and should be removed, not expanded.
Been looking forward to this ever since they discussed the possibility in an interview at the start of Shadowbringers!
Was real sad at getting separated from my Goblin friends during the data center split.
The Question is, is that only Visiting and maybe buying Stuff from the MB's or also direct Playing? So are we gonna able to go to Party finder with NA/EU/JP People? And is also the Dungeon queue's for All DC's?
this will have a ton of restriction to it :p but it will still kill alot of servers (looking at you balmung lmao rip) all they have commented on is that you will be able to visit your friends and "take pictures" with them and just hangout out and chat.
i presume players listed as "visiting" will not be able to trade or use the market board, will not be able to access retainers, there will be restriction on the number of visitors most likely as in they may only allow 200 or so players to visit any server at any given time meaning there will be a que and waiting list which will most likely move native players to the front of the line first as they will have priority status.
so while i think this is an interesting idea i don't think its not going to pan out in the long run and will just create server instability in some places and potentially leading to even further restrictions and or barring of players to certain datacenters/servers.
i can appreciate them taking this bold and risky approach to a feature a significant amount of players have asked for lol but i don't think its as well planned out and refined as they would like it to be…
what i think would be more appropriate is if they allow for players to reserve "private servers" on all datacenters which can hold up to 500 players and can only be reserved once every 2 days by a hosting player so that way if people just want to group up with their free company or friends to do content with or hunt with etc they can do so with this private server option to reduce the amount of strain that would otherwise come from with a flood of visitors (which by the way can easily be abused by bot users and i suspect it wholeheartedly will be)
I really hope they improve the ping on other data centers, been playing on Crystal recently when I normally play on Chaos. I main mch and it's such a struggle to fit five overheats in anymore xD When I come back to Chaos it's smooth as butter.
I really didnt want this. I left my old data center bc I was being harassed by my ex boyfriend and now this…. 🙁 there's no way to stop the harassment…
god i hope its extremely limited. cross-world hunting has already made it nearly impossible for people with not as good inet or hardware to hunt.
and before you say "just go tot he hunt and AOE" that doesnt work half the time,. and it's also a good way to end up dead with no one to res you because everyone is in a hurry to get to the next hunt
Seems perfect time for it, you don't want it during a big expansion incase it causes issues
I'm still hoping it's not just data center travel in server clusters.
I'm a JP server player and i want to visit my friends in the US servers and potentially run a dungeon with them if the system allows.
Right now it seems up in the air to whether Datacenter travel will be country locked or not.
IM HOPING
the fall? dont you mean autumn?
Data center crossing?! OH HELL YES!
If it is not cross region it is much less interesting to me.
All I can think is that Balmung will be so unstable it'll be unplayable, now, lol. Crystal DC in general is crammed so full of RPers it's wild.
I hope that this wouldn't affect hunts in Chaos because we've already had enough problems with people sniping before we could share it with the wider community.
Everytime I talk to JP data centers they always tell me how they are interested in seeing Balmung lol
Soon my entire friends list wont be (Unable to Retrieve) anymore. im pretty excited about this.
Day before patch 5.58
readies shotguns
hoarding rations and toilet paper for fc mates
Limsa afker: What are you doing man?
Rugged gunbreaker: Im getting ready for them…
Limsa afker: who?
Rugged gunbreaker: *THEM* points to balmung players
that would be awesome if it were true! I will be able to play with my spouse and our mutual friends with my main from a different DC for MSQ, instead of my baby alt.
Be afraid of Balmung server. Just saying
Nooooooo yoshi! Dont do it! KEEP CRYSTAL LOCKED! you'll unleash an ancient and perverse evil! DONT UNLOCK CRYSTAL!
I honestly regions should be locked. The way its running now is best. Just letting in more toxic ppl to ruin different regions
A feature I won't ever use. I'm sure they pushed it ahead cus they don't want the feature to cause problems at 6.0 launch. So we're beta testing it.
Long speculation:
For the hunt this or the previous data center travel creates problems. While it may make the hunt go faster in the sense that you can knock out more marks in a day, it also creates the problem of time zones and exclusivity from the more intense hunt groups.
Working full time in the very much behind USA in terms of pandemic progress, many of us rely on getting home late and hoping for a few marks, but now the fear is we miss the mega trains that are sure to come. The 3000/2000 A/S goal seems impossible, now more than ever.
Silver lining; still a great game, good community, and this will incentive to focus on other things.
Possible solutions; spread out the spawn times of A/S ranks so that it's not random anymore, on a strict schedule, making it more accessible to everyone.
Spawn conditions become less time consuming for S ranks, and must be done on time before the spawn so that it will spawn or not if people didn't "prep" it.
Furthermore, rotate the spawns on the timers so that if people need a specific mark for an achievement it may become accessible to them on their schedule. For example if someone had yet to kill Sum in the Azimme Steppe, one week it will spawn in the am, and the next week it will switch it's slot with the other A rank and spawn in the pm.
Further furthermore they could have them spawn more than once in a given time period, so if the am slot is 12am to 12pm, it can spawn 4 times throughout the morning until noon, where it switches.
These solutions could eliminate early pulls when people are still otw, if they didn't show up on time then it's their fault because they knew exactly when it would spawn, and the early pullers would not exist because presumably people would pull on time every time. Only issue now is spawn locations, this could be solved with less spawn points as of now there are too many.
Off topic… but when did you start recording in 4K? This is totally new on your videos! Usually it defaults to and chooses up to1080p…
My sister is in the Crystal Data Center while I'm in Primal, so if it is region only then I'd be pretty much ok with it as I'd at least finally get to show her my character and play with her and her boyfriend without having to grind all the way back to lvl 80 or pay to move my character. And hearing that it could be coming this soon has my jaw on the floor as I was expecting this to come like one or two patches before Endwalker drops.
Considering the time between 5.5 and 5.55 is like a month and a half, 5.58 is probably gonna be just weeks before Endwalker
Moment of silence to those who transferred to avoid bad friendships or stalkers.
i cant find the new version on steam
I don't get it, what is the benefit in this? You're able to make a new character on a different data center no matter where you live, right?
So two options: 1. Deleted because it's not true. 2. Deleted because we aren't supposed to know about it.
Just a side note during the Live Letter when they brought up DC travel, Yoshi said potentially only party chat will work, vs how cross world ls's work when traveling. The translation that was given was extremely vague and wasn't very "good" if it were just as a heads up.
I know it's been a long standing rumor so it has to be true now
I just noticed there is more MSQ quests in 5.55
meaning we can comfortably reach the end with the final resistance relics in our hand
Being on Aether, I can imagine PF now: "yadda yadda reclears (generic strats)" "crystal players will be repped"
i hope this will happen. im on Aether and i have friends on EU Q.Q
Japanese xenophobes are malding rn
Prays it is limited otherwise RIP hunting
RIP
so it already ques with servers in my data center.. But with being able to travel between data centers now, will it que with other data centers for dungeons or raids ?
