* Players cannot dismiss or add party members while undertaking exploratory missions.

They'd still be contributing to the success of exploration. DoW and DoL are both necessary to clear goals.

I think it's personal goals, there are also personal achievements for achieving these golas.

With a 2 hour cool down i take a troll or leech any day of the week over a unfair kick.

Were you here at launch? We used to have Castrum Meridianum parties with 4/8 players AFK leeching at the entrance.

A few rare unfair vote kicks are 100x better than almost every party formed via the DF being unable to do anything because half of its members are leeching.

Thing is on the Jap servers, I would assume those players would be black listed between the server and of course not allowed to join in on any Party finder groups I would imagine.

Jps have a site dedicated to witch hunting, naming and shaming players, knowing what players to avoid. helps a community as a whole, so even if leechers become a problem, they won't get far for long there, NA side, however. i can see this becoming a problem. it will be light farmer leechers all over again.

I didn't follow the exploration explanation too closely though, because I'm more interested in seeing it first hand tomorrow.

You join one of 9 full parties (8-mans) and the entire party starts together on a random island. You attune to aetherytes to unlock flight and can then meet up with other full parties. If you queue in less than 8-man, you get rolled together with any other incomplete parties. So yes, you will get randoms if you queue with 2 or 3 people in your party.

Also, you'll have problems finishing junk in diadem with only 3 active players.

Except you don't everyone working to accomplish stuff in Diadem. Presumably, anyway. Otherwise the gathering aspect is kinda pointless.

Also 2 hour lockout is 4x worse than it is anywhere else in the game. Too extreme to allow potential "trolls" to have that kind of power over another player.

Communication will be tough. I expect 70% of all exploration from the DF to be a failure or really slow progress.

Yoshi P said unlocking flying is when the party is suppose to be talking about what goals they want to do for the run.

Didn't they say that the fights in Diadem were the opposite of FATEs & The Hunt in that you actually have to be involved and put in positive effort to get the loot. I believe they said something like "not based on enmity so a tank can't just run in and spam Flash to get full credit".

If so, anyone standing about or not fighting gets nothing. That would make sense otherwise those gathering in the Diadem would also get to loot on PvE drops whilst doing nothing to help!

I think we don't need to worry in the same way we would about leeches in CT & FATEs. =)

If that's' the case, anyone doing gathering goals is going to get shafted. Gathering goals are part of the overall parties goal in the Diadem. How in the world are they not helping?

Why would you want to duty find it in the first place, the whole point of it is to go exploring with friends.
