Party finder. Can a dev give an update when will this be out. I hear nothing in the dev update videos and nothing on forrums. Is it really that bad that its so far off from being developed?
Fee to enter expeditions has increased instead of decreasing despite using less resources need to craft the orbs as well as them being available from faction vendor.
One way to make people stop abusing the fee for expeditions is by setting a party finder with a set gold price fee for each member. At the moment we have people charging 30K fee for M6 mutated.
PS I have searched the forums for a response from Devs regarding the party finder and have found nothing.
With Beta release there was a huge discussion about a Group-Finder.
Conclusion as far as I got, low priority. So I do not think it will come any time soon, if at all.
Concerning prices for Expeditions. Only solution is to actively socialize, find people like you who do not charge for expeditions. Add them to your friend-list. Join a Company. Craft yourself orbs, ask for members and do not charge yourself.
Ideally there is a self-sustaining community, without any need to ask Gold for joining Expeditions.
I would say that a group finder may make it harder not easier to find a group. just look at GW2 and the ridiculous entry restrictions to some of there fractal groups. No lifers creating stupid progress blockers. The worst seem to be angry meta DPS players.
LFG is a Quality of Life option. If you want to be manly and find groups the old fashioned way. i.e. killing a bear with nothing but your bad jokes, so be it. Don’t force people to live by your rules though.
People will have differing opinions, its just a fact of life ( First World Problems etc). Attacking people that do have a different point of view isn’t an example of mature understanding.
If your very young I understand, but your actually doing the very thing you accusing other people off. Forcing you way of doing things on others.
Things like DPS meters, combat logs, LFG tools etc can allow a vocal minority to perhaps have more sway over things than is good for the game as whole.
Options should always be considered from different points of view. Will help create a system that benefits the many rather than the toxic few.
When you implement LFG, how do you ensure you get competent people?
Presumably there’s a role queue? Can I queue as multiple roles if I have the right gear?
How do you check that the tank is a tank? Slotting carnelians? Seems abuseable
LFG won’t work as long as there is a cost to entry (Orbs). If you remove orbs, then we can have LFG, because fake tanks and fake heals only waste your time, not your resources.
Many ways to do this. There are games that have role checks. Although we don’t have ‘classes’ the game could check if your stats and equipment qualify for a role (just like companies do for wars), and then mark you for that role. Tank, healer, physica/caster deeps. This could even allow for hybrid, because a tank/healer is better off tanking in this game with a UI that makes healing painful.
I’ve been asking to remove orbs repeatedly, so no problem there.
I’d ask this, how is not having LFG ensure competent people? It doesn’t. So that’s the final check. The same check you have today, because eventually you’ve got to come together to do the event. LFG doesn’t automatically run the event for you.
Don’t need a dev to respond. I can confidently say that this is not going to happen within a year if it will occur at all with the party finder. As for the second thing that will never happen, it’s simple supply and demand.
