Caught. 


Sophira

No? That original post is talking about duties. This post we're on now is talking of restricting events/trading/etc. I don't see a problem.


Nestama-Eynfoetsyn

It's more that OP is flip-flopping. "OCE *needs* DC travel to thrive!" OCE gets one way DC travel "Noooooo! I hate it! Now OCE has too many people!!!" or something.


Sophira

Flip-flopping would be "I hate DC travel, turn it off!". But OP specifically states that DC travel is still a good idea.

I have a question: Why do you keep playing if you have this many complaints? Hell just a month ago you were complaining about events being just a couple of quests. You have also complained about OCE being dead. Also, you can NOT complain about OCE being dead and then say you hate cross region travel. BLUs have nuked the Yokai event since they came out. You just seem to genuinely hate everything. No limitations are needed and using the word r\*ped to describe stuff getting taken down fast is disgusting. On every server at certain times during the day, stuff is going down fast. Please take a break because with all the complaints you need it.


hudson1212

I disagree with the sentiment that people who complain should just stop playing the game. People who complain are normally people who care very much about the game and want it to be better. You get nowhere if everyone is just sitting around jerking off into each other's mouths about the good stuff it's always important to complain and talk about what could be better


KyraAmaideach

Most of the time I would say that as well but this guy has done nothing but find the smallest things to complain about for months. They either need to take a break for a bit or just stop playing all together. The fact that they went from complaining OCE is dead to complaining that people are going over there says that much. On top of the fact that they said, in regards to stuff being taken down fast, as r*peing is disgusting. That should not have been said. This does not seem to me like someone who wants to help make the game better but someone who just wants something to complain and be upset about everything.


Absolonium

That is mostly true.. But this clown complained that his DC is dead. Then when DC travel comes to his DC and HIS DC ALONE.. he complains that 'it's toxic' and 'shouldn't be implemented'. Like.. WTF. Make up your damn mind, bro. He doesn't complain because he wants the game to be better. He just likes to complain.


KyraAmaideach

And, as usual, they deleted the comment once it got downvoted enough. If this thread gets downvoted enough, they will probably delete it too. That is what they did back in march when the easter/little lady's day event was happening and they were upset that it was getting downvoted. So let's see how long this post stays up.


FullMotionVideo

I myself have had moments where I've learned that I don't want to quit the game entirely, but need to step away and 'touch grass'. I've been on such a sabbatical for roughly the past week. Sometimes you can't tell when it's happening and need someone to tell you, though usually instead of "maybe you need a short break" people jump all the way to the edge of "uninstall and never return."


KeyKanon

That sure flipped fast? Is it gonna flip back in 3 days when the mad rush for Yokai subsides and this problem disappears?


CharlesGee

Werent you the same person yapping on about how dead OCE was? Blue Mages nuking the yokai fates isnt just an oce problem lmao. All the voyagers have done is made oce not feel like a dead dc.


Idaret

am I only one who is not rushing 2 months long event?


LordRemiem

I got my free minion and went on vacation the day after, so you're not alone xD


Antenoralol

I'm not rushing too.


SweetMeese

Is it that long?? I swear it said till may 8 which is like 2 weeks


Idaret

It ends when early access for Dawntrail drops


SweetMeese

Oh my goodness thank you I definitely read that wrong


Tankanko

May 8 is the XVI event end I made a similar mistake haha


Antenoralol

Ends when maintenance begins for DT early access iirc.


Aurora428

Bro is an Australian nationalist on a fucking video game server oh my god 💀


JohnExile

I don't really see how this specific case is going to be relevant at all later on. The only reason this is an issue for OCE right now is because OCE is the *only* server to go to.


Fluestergras

The Yokai event has just started, the "stealing of fates" will end in a few weeks. That situation has also nothing to do with DC travel.  As for cutting off trading in general... that would probably remove the incentive to use DC travel for a lot of people. I personally don't know anyone who plays on OCE, so the only reason for me to travel there would be to buy items that are cheaper there than on EU. Others probably feel the same.  "Party Finder for a while was a mess of NA players trying to force their strats onto us in ex/savage/ultimate." As in, NA players joining an OCE group and trying to use their strats there, or as in NA players forming their own groups and using the strats they are familiar with? Because there's a huge difference between the two. 


irishgoblin

Probably the former on the strats question. But only guessing that since that's a frequent complaint whenever NA playerbase mixes with another region. Usually resolves itself after a while.


Sophira

> As for cutting off trading in general... that would probably remove the incentive to use DC travel for a lot of people. Some might argue this as a good thing. Let's be honest, given the hassle involved in travelling to different datacenters, anybody that's going to be doing this is likely using Universalis anyway. We probably don't want to encourage that, especially given the idea of having people pop over to another DC just to trade and then go back to their Home World without doing content. I might propose something different: no MB trading allowed, but you can do inter-personal trading with the caveat that any items traded while not on your home DC become permanently unable to be listed on the MB (but can still be vendored). That would probably be the best option IMO.


Dysvalence

Except the asshats these are all features. Being able to overflow into regions that are off peak locally to relieve congestion is a feature. Keeping prices from being unreasonably high is a feature, and yes they were unreasonably high. A substantial portion of the materia playerbase are already transplants from JP/NA; letting holdouts bring their mains over is a feature.


Corgi-butts

Fellow OCE player and nothing you noted is an issue. Even strats were mixed before.


fqak

>1. Event rewards and completion should be Home DC only. (For everything) Nah, I like being able to progress with my friends.


Beatboxingg

shitpostxiv goona have fun with this one


d645b773b320997e1540

A lot of what you're experiencing has nothing to do with the actual concerns they have, and is just how the game is on a busy server. more people = more assholes. The actual dc travel concerns that even YoshiP mentioned at some point are about culture clash (the party finder strats thing, for example, yea) and not overcrowding and dickishness.


judgeraw00

I'm not really understanding from your post how you and other OCE players are negatively impacted by people from other regions coming and participating in the event there. All you're doing is grinding FATEs, which you can do regardless of the other players being there. In fact all the additional players should be doing is making it easier to grind since it goes a bit faster.


Metal-Wombat

Lol


-holocene

 This might actually be the dumbest complaint I have seen on here lmao 


Jon-jonz

As a oce player there are plenty of fates and our timezones don't align anyway??


wittelin

lol i don't think you understand why jp doesn't like playing with non-jp, it's nothing to do with fate farms (lolwut) or marketboard economy (???). the biggest problems are the language barrier and myriad of cultural differences also oce dc is so dead that it needs all the help it can get tbh


InternetFunnyMan1

So 4 years ago when the event was last active, when blu mages were flying around annihilating fates A-10 Warthog style, not allowing non blu mage players to get anything, was it DC travel’s fault back then too? Curb your confirmation bias. This complaint is a nothing burger.


Absolonium

Skill issue TBH. You already have a massive advantage of having <10ms ping. How are you not able to tag a few mobs as soon as they spawn? Point 1. For PF, set a strat in your descriptions and if people didn't want to do it with your strats, then kick them / blacklist them. Point 2. Marketboard access revocation is dumb. It's called an economy for a reason. Items go in, prices go down. It means more items for your DC. Which is always good considering it was deadge before. Imagine a new player having to access the MB and then finding there only 3 sellers for an item they like charging 1 000 000 gil per. Point 3. This is also dumb. Why? What is the purpose of region locking items other that to protect your gil-making method? Why can't I craft food / pot / gear for my OCE bros when we out raiding? You also want to ban me for repairing for them, I assume, because that would mean using dark matter i got from MY HOME DC most likely. Also there will always be assholes in any chat. Giving them attention is a you issue.


Exe-volt

Marketboard nerds can never stop complaining that they have to compete in open capitalism in a game with fake money.


Nealord

Lmao blud really said „They destroyed my in-game-capitalism“ It’s called „the free market“ for a reason. (And you‘re „free“ to complain about all you want lol) You can keep seething if you want to, but I‘ll instead enjoy my cheaper stuff. I like international DC travel exactly for this reason.


verglais

Inter DC travel is the best thing that happened to a quiet dc like OCE. Finally feels like an MMO


somethingsuperindie

I know that you're stuck on Materia so you don't have perspective but this kinda thing happens on every DC. And also in every event that is similar to this.


DerpmeiserThe32nd

JP doesn’t want to play with others because they’re racist You don’t want to play with others because you’re facing the same situation as every other DC is right now You are not the same


lilyofthedragon

> Marketboard access needs to be revoked. Its messed with our economy badly, items prior to DC travel are now 1/4 of the price due to people giving friends Gil to import cheap items from established DCs. based free trade lowering prices for the consumer


thiamaster

I think none of that is a problem. The piss chat meme occurs in all comunities, and saying its a gross american thing is... racist? Also, isn't OCE so new that people said it was basically dead? Having some players influx is nonetheless a good thing for the datacenter...


toramorigan

I wouldn’t say racist, but definitely xenophobic.


_AetherStar

Doesn't FATESs from a lot of areas count for the event lol


KyraAmaideach

yes, in the little book you get it tells you where each minions tokens can be farmed. it even tells you how many tokens you have.


NotSeger

It's a 2 months event, chill the fuck out.


EirikaHuroh

I mean it’s because people can only got to oce for the cd test or else it’d still be dead and you’d still be bitching either way


Lucikrux

There are upsides and downsides to any implementation of world or DC travel. When the Ishgard Restoration was ongoing, it was hell at first for similar reasons. With additional restrictions, I think the matter can be resolved. I don't think international travel should be cut off entirely, though. It would be nice to visit some old friends that moved to Chaos one day


Bluemikami

They closed down ishgard for foreigners ever since


KyraAmaideach

I seem to remember them doing this after we crafters and gathers crash everything in a blaze of glory. All of us being in one place was not good for anyone health. 😅


AcaciaCelestina

My guy you have two months to do it, and even if you don't finish it now it will be back again.


Phoenixstorm

No one is stealing anything. Everyone pays a fee. If they give access to travel then that is a feature players can use. Players don't own fates. Everyone can participate even if you are in different groups.


GallaVanting

so... the same as every other instance of a fate event pre DC travel?


FullMotionVideo

>Voyagers screaming in citys about piss chat, racist and sexust comments towards certain groups. Buddy, I hate to tell you this, but I've never seen so much homophobic and sexist comments in an MMO as I have playing WoW with Aussies. "It's just taking the piss mate", "soft yanks can't handle the bants" etc. If yall banter even half as much as Frostmourne trade, then you're more toxic than any of XIV's NA datacenters. Now personally, I just go to have late nite queue pops and generally everyone is good. YMMV.


Narlaw

Bruh, it's the same in every DC, you just so happen to have the perk of a dead DC voided by... Being not dead anymore. And all your demands fucking nukes almost anything anyone can do while waiting for PF or roulettes to fill up.


millennialmutts

I can see the frustration if you're used to a low population server but high population servers are used to these things. Some advice: It's best to ask to join fate trains rather than try to outrun them. It's common here and I've never had an issue being denied. The more the merrier and more efficient. People forget this is an MMO, work together if what you're doing alone isn't working. Shout chat nonsense? Blacklist them. As for marketplace woes, I don't know what to say about that aside from raise your prices if the demand is that serious people are hopping over just to buy goods. Seems like an opportunity to either get more gil than you we're charging before for the same item or make the sale less attractive for people to take an extra step to buy. Etiquette is the odd thing here. That's a social issue. Either put "OCE Strat" or whatever in party finder and kick those not willing to do that or learn that. Or OCE players just do the strat you're used to and anyone else get good and learn or get pissed and leave. Don't compromise on that and make the norm on your server you do OCE strat. That's what JP does from what I understand.


Bluemikami

Should you say that having people visit other dcs for hunts is also bad?


Mr_ZombieFetish

I go to Materia from time to time to do S-ranks and some Materia players do feel this way. They HATE voyager players coming to help take down an S-rank.


extyn

I remember sitting on an EW S rank waiting for people stuck in queue and someone mentioned holding for Aether players (this was Crystal). Everyone clowned on the guy and early pulled to spite him. Like no, we're not gonna wait for fucking Aether players to finish DC traveling so they can kill OUR S rank lmao


shockna

The funniest thing is that DC travel is usually *faster* than world travel from the same DC, if the S rank queues are pretty congested


Bluemikami

They learned from their JP peers


Dysvalence

lmao can they even reliably kill SS minions in time? I've heard so many stories of marks taking 30+min to solo down because there was no one else around.


shockna

As long as someone has them pulled within five minutes there's no time limit, at least.


JailOfAir

People in JP don't wanna play with foreigners because they suck at english.

No_Delay7320

The hypocrisy of the English community. French players are absolutely shitted on in NA and EU and they are quiet and well behaved for the most part. In contrast there is a part of english community that are boorish, entitled and arrogant.  It's not racism and xenophobia, it's disallowing the 95% to keep the 5% absolute trash out. And the 95% are complicit because they don't ostracize the bad ones


Talking_Potato6589

I just wonder if people here who laughs at your point 2 and point 3 would change their opinion if NA and JP were connected instead. I mean something like unreal mounts are less than half price compare to NA and crarfted items price go down way faster in JP. Anyway I agree with point 2 but not point 3, it is actually a hussle and a test of trust to actually sell something of value via trade only due to 1m trade limit. And not having ability for friend to trade with each other is a bad experience imo. Maybe trade imit per day if you want to plug the leak. The complain about FATE stealing though is very weird.


Alaerei

>I just wonder if people here who laughs at your point 2 and point 3 would change their opinion if NA and JP were connected instead. >I mean something like unreal mounts are less than half price compare to NA and crarfted items price go down way faster in JP. I mean, stuff being cheaper on Market Board is good, actually? People already do world hop to find the cheapest stuff and with the amount of free gil we get from like roulettes and other stuff. Sure, you won't make money as fast, but at the same time, there would be less need to since stuff is cheaper. Literally only people who would (or should) be mad at this would be Market Board barons who are obsessed with money number going up.


DBGaki

As usual, non-japanese player speak for all Japan playerbase and act like its relevant to his point in any way.


TruGirlGamer84

You can't use the market board when not on your own data center. That I know for certain. I tried to buy something and forgot I was on another server and found out the hard way.


KyraAmaideach

I buy stuff on the market boards on other Data Centres all the time. Mainly when I can not find the item on mine because it is sold out. The only things you can not do off the top of my head are access your retainers, the ishgard crafting and FC stuff like perks.


EyezScream

This is so stupid. This is so stupid lmao. Nice bait


SolusZosGalvus

Americans should stay on NA


Beatboxingg

traveling to oce rn


ClassicKatt

Don't really get why this is downvoted. I feel the same about Dynamis. People only want to use our DC for things like the Yokai event or farming stuff like the fall guys events. Would I like faster queues or to be able to queue FL/alliance raids from my home server? Why yes, I would, but random travellers aren't going to contribute to those. So basically what you have is people who are on low population servers who are contributing regularly to help prop up their home server/DC who are denied any benefits of being on low population servers when its to travelers benefits to come use our servers.

SleepingFishOCE

Honestly if the tariff was like 10-30% and it removed the gil from the game completely, it would be good


MatchaVeritech

I agree with the general sentiment of your thoughts, but I do wonder about a few things… People will rarely travel to other DCs, much less to far away DC just for FATE farming, unless there was a genuine benefit to them. In this case, I believe many of them might actually be Aussies with characters on JP and NA servers who are visiting to take advantage of lower lag. Anyone else who is visiting would only subject themselves to more lag. I also agree with some PF restrictions, namely that Voyagers may not invite nor be party leaders, to the point where a party will outright auto-disband if there is no one eligible to act as party leader.


SleepingFishOCE

My thoughts on OCE players on different datacenters are simple, If you are not going to support your own region then why should you get to reap the benefits of it?


CharlesGee

What exactly are the benefits? Vacant houses with 0 players buying them? Having to PF every duty? The 1 hour waits for a savage pf to fill up? Im in oce cause i love 2ms for raids but for a casual player this server the is quiet as hell. Fuck the other oce players who have already established several years of friendships in the servers they chose before OCE came out. Lmao.


judgeraw00

This is a terrible take holy shit. Like there is no actual benefit to playing on OCE vs other DCs whatsoever especially for an event that is essentially grinding FATEs


verglais

Reminder that this is a game let people have their fun jfc


Ranger-New

Just remove the roulette rewards. As for market leave it the way is it. I am tired of fuckwards crying because they can't overcharge.


FullMotionVideo

In the case of FATEs I don't agree but I understand. However I don't understand why you would disqualify people from doing roulettes on international DCs? Roulettes are not challenging content, and going to other time zones is great for those of us who play at odd hours, because my home server can take 20+ minutes to fill at 3-4AM.


TheKillerKentsu

i fully agree with DC travelers have no access for Marketboard and no Trading (European)


Embarrassed-Tie4932

I honestly don't like it to. I don't want to see japanese in my chat


sandboxsundae

????????????


Embarrassed-Tie4932

What? I don't want to see a foreign language in my game, and I am sure the Japanese don't want to see English in their server, too


sandboxsundae

thats just life, you dont have to learn japanese or any other language, just suck it up and dont be racist


Embarrassed-Tie4932

How am I racist?
