My concerns about a "worldless model" what are yours?

[Onidemon]

YESSS this, so this. The Adventurer's Guild has gone through great lengths to steal us a copy of the Empire's Content Finder device. "Many Bothans died to bring us this information..." Now if we can only bring them a repaired transistor, they can give us our very own!

No dude you missed the point I was trying to convey. I don't care so much about the convenience of the system, whether or not I have to walk, etc. I care about the system fitting logically within the game world!

Explain how it doesn't fit with the game's world, or actually do you even know what the world's world is? As this is a 2.0 feature and 2.0 will be drastically different from what you have now, so how can you say it won't fit?

[Starlord]

We have little idea of what 2.0 will bring as far as we have been told all non instanced dungeons we have are undergoing a instancing make-over I don't see why they wouldn't do this for the strongholds either. PVP could for all we know be totally instanced (I actually imagine it would) almost all the content aside from the small spat of content they said would be open world (Odin) could be turned into a instance.

I'd love to sit back and wait for more information to trickle in, and I plan on doing so if I was dead set on thinking it would turn out to be my worst nightmare I would allready be gone. I'm looking at a worst case scenario for me, where everything for the most part is getting tied up into instances so people can use the world finder.

I understand the view may be a little overboard but I generally expect the worst until I hear otherwise. I have faith Yoshida has better plans for the game but with the team not being very forthcoming with information (Because people throw fits when they don't hit a deadline or something, or change their minds) all we can do is speculate.



Then please do explain what you meant by telling me that it's a moot point to speak our minds about the subject. If I misunderstood your intent please correct me because what I said is what I took your statement for.

Two PvP venues, Coliseum and Frontlines, to be released after version 2.0. Unique zones to be created so
as not to affect non-participating players. Release of PvP-specific abilities, gear, and ranking

That means it won't be Instanced.

And you just said the magic words that everyone needs to see:

We have little idea of what 2.0 will bring

So really, all this talk we are doing is just "Speculation"

[Cendres]

I would really like the option to search for additional members, and not an entire party. If I have a group of 4 LS members, then we should be able to recruit 3 additional members to do content with.

This would be ideal, I hope we are not getting a system that's just one way or the other. The more flexible it is the better.

Is that not what the Search function is for? It works wonders for me when I use it for this. The annoying part is that many people who are listed as seeking party are actually AFK, so perhaps the system would work slightly better if those who were AFK for, say, 5-10 minutes were listed as idle instead of "seeking party".

Was about to say the same thing

Search function helps you see who's seeking party

Dungeon finder helps you see who needs a party to be filled. Yeah you're right is almost the exact same thing accept from the other point of view.

[FlynnRider]

Well if we're gonna be able to match and pair up with other players, can we at least see some sort of skill level/accomplishments? So at least we know we're not being paired up with people with little experience in dungeons/instances and can avoid any inconvience that may cause to veteran players?

Not sure if you meant exp party, but from what I understand, the party finder system is aimed for dungeons/instance, and not primarily for open world EXP party.

[LillithaFenimore]

Ya'll make my head hurt...

[Jynx]

That means it won't be Instanced.

Making unique zones doesn't mean not instanced...either way I don't care if PVP is isntanced or not.

There is also nothing wrong with speculation.
