"MVP" System

Greetings, everyone!

I'd like to give a brief official overview of the "MVP" system that was announced by Yoshida during TGS, as there is a lot of interest in how this will encourage players to be positive and helpful when using the Duty Finder.

This system is for groups that get matched in the Duty Finder and cannot be used when you pre-make parties to enter dungeons and other content. Once you clear the content, you'll be able to vote for a player you feel was helpful, positive, and friendly.

Accumulating these points will allow you to buy companion armor, new mounts, and other exclusive items.

This system is scheduled to be implemented in patch 2.1, and once further details have been finalized we will be sure to share them with you!

Right-click "add to blacklist" feature

Greetings,

I apologize for the long wait for a response on this.

The development team has been working on the implementation of the right click to blacklist feature, and is planning to implement it in patch 2.1.

Dev response on long queue times for certain instances

Hello,

The development team is aware of the long wait times to reserve instances, and as mentioned by Yoshida during the Tokyo Game Show, we'll be increasing the amount of instance servers in mid-October to help alleviate this issue.

Awesomeness, I really like the MvP system idea.

Incentives and encouragements for players to be good to one another sounds nice!

Needing incentives for people to be nice to each other is kinda sad... :/
and getting cool stuff will be harder for people who form a static group before queuing for the DF. I get it, I appreciate the gesture, but let us just kick out d-bags... don't reward them for being less d-bagish for 20-40mins a run until they get all the stuff they want...

Probably just queue w/ 7, and exchange votes? Sounds like it would work..

Incentivizing good behaviour is a great idea. Honey versus vinegar, and all that. Glad to see some positive stuff being implemented.

I like the sound of the MVP system. I don't think it really matters whether people are being nice or just pretending to be nice. As long as it stops (or at least slightly deters) some of the in-game nastiness, I'm all for it!
