The Case For or Against Cross-World Dungeons

[Jinko]

Does dungeon queue partying systems (be they cross-world or native-world) require a specific number of roles in other MMORPGs? Or can any group of any 6 or 8 classes tackle any particular dungeon?

What I found a little concerning was this particular graphic from the recent Live Letter From The Producer.



I was hoping the designations would be just to help out with macros, but I can also see it being used to strictly enforce dungeon content, and thus dungeon queues. In which case, would we lose the benefit of having a larger pool of players by going cross-world?

I can only hope this is the case, this would help the devs balance dungeons and bosses much more effectively.

Although I'm not sure how you would lose the benefit of increasing the chance of finding people by going cross server, if anything it increases the chances.

@ Jennista, you know you in WoW you can make a half party and still join the queue system, this means you get to play with people you know and like as well as finding people quick to do content with.

Its the best of both world IMO and hopefully the dev team take this into consideration.

In many cases we used to make a full party and still use the dungeon finder mainly because it was more convenient.
