I personally decided to quit the game after beating the DW story. I wasn’t a fan overall, and didn’t newer raids. Enjoy them, but also nothing was left for me personally I wanted to do. Playing since 2.0, kinda just lost its charm for me.
To clear up my confusion — this worked sort of like a 'spill-over' DC, yes? Not meant to be a home centre, but for anyone who was having trouble doing content on their own worlds during the expansion launch?
So this DC was just a temporary thing in preparation for the expansion launch to reduce ques etc and future ones I guess? That makes sense. I thought it was a permanent one but it was clear that Chaos and Light are the very core of EU and still have plenty of room. Personally I would like if SE just keeps it open cuz its own little funny thing.
Please make some liminal video with this footage, it's wild to see *no one*.
they need to not close DC travel, but implement cross DC PF (within same region), that would fix issue.
Buy a plot while you still can before everyone starts popping up
SEA server please!
Shadow was the best for hunts yeah
Shut off dynamis as well
for anyone in comments who don't understand there is no housing you can buy there its only for congesting and expansion
My experience with Shadow was this, it was a great place to do a lot of things that are harder to do on normal servers.
Older hunt targets (ARR espeically) were a nightmare to do because people would just kill on sight, and Shadow made it possible to actually find the last few I needed for my achievement logs.
Eurika was another one, as so much of the time going in I'm sent messages to tell me to leave as I am not part of the Discord group helping people through, and it was nice I could just do stuff at my own pace.
so yeah I am sad to see Shadow go, but as a developer myself, it was certainly not worth the cost.
So strange to see the 3 starter towns with no people
I stayed on Light and never really used the ability to go to chaos and I haven’t gone to shadow at all
I did however extensively used the NA cloud server
and I believe it would be beneficial to have cloud servers as mediators like shadow was, as a place where people from all DCs meet up at. It would encourage people to do content with friends from other continents
I think they expected an increase in players with the expansion so they made a bunch of new DCs just in case but it didn't happen.
I can only speak for myself but this is the first expansion where im just genuinely bored. Not even the dead months at the end of EW was this bad for me personally. Or maybe i have just played too much.
This and others like it weren't the standard game servers. They were temporary, only to have some overflow space and when that's done, they're out. Nothing weird or sad about it. If anything, shows that game devs actually put some thought behind the higher volume during DLC launch to cope with larger initial numbers online at once and once it smoothed out, they removed extra space. Many games wouldn't have bothered with such a thing and would have let the main game servers cope with overload and thus possibly cause issues.
My static is half primal and half crystal. First week, we raided on Dynamis, as that was our only real choice with congestion.
This past week we've had to have a sub for a few days. Going to Dynamis, the high end raid PF was only around 30~ parties and took about 40min with no one joining. Aether was too congested to move in. We moved to primal and the PF was 100+, and found a sub within minutes.
Aether is packed, had at least 5 people that wanna play with me, and get soul crushed when they buy the game and can't make a character on my data center.
I played on Dynamis for the expansion launch to dodge log in ques
Had to go there to help friends , dead af fuck queue was usless lol
Single Player / Offline mode vibe.
If your Server was consuming too much power to maintain your character's memories, would you want to turn it off?
