So is anyone else excited about the cross server party finder

[Mysuke]

I think it'll be cool. I just wish they would make it so we could visit other servers, maybe pick 3 servers you could travel on or something like that. People's names would be an issue so I know it's a no go. Just wishful thinking.

Not sure if it still works but i remember in GW2 you could "visit" another server, which it was useful if you were planning to transfer servers and wanted to check the population beforehand (it didn't have the megaserver system when i played). But as far i remember the character names are cross-server unlike FFXIV, so that probably wouldn't work here.

I think Hyperion is a pretty heavily populated server, so Idk how much it will benefit me. But I'm excited for the people on lower pop servers. Shorter queues times can only be a good thing.

What do you that people trolled because they knew they wernt gona see the people anymore or something ?

Precisely.

When groups are 'home' server only then any bad prep. jerks gain quickly get their name known and they become outcasts if they're really bad .. ninja looting is one of the main such crimes in WOW .. especially in end-game content. WOW's community is looked down upon as hugely toxic, and in part that's a reasonable view, but it wasn't always like that, the rot set in when cross-realm grouping was introduced.

Excited? No. But I welcome the new feature, for it will allows cross-servers pre-made Duty groups which may be useful outside peak time hours. What I'm happy about is the second consequential feature attached to it: the ability to blacklist cross-server wide

I'm looking forward to being able to play with my friend who is on Gilgamesh.

I heard that you can actually lock your party with a password, meaning you get to talk to people before letting them join or give it your friends from other servers.

Since shiva is "dead" @ PF most times(get a party of 8 to farm EX primals usually takes over 1h...), i am REALLY excited about it.
I thought i'll do a break till addon because we have savage complete and doing something else like primals takes ages to get started(=boring), but Cross-Server-PF will propably speed it up alot, so i'll resub alone for this feature.

I have friends (IRL friends) in other servers, so yeah :3 I like the idea.

My experience of this feature in WOW was that it lead to a very toxic environment due to lack of any rep. repercussions for jerks.

In that case, the duty finder should already make for a very toxic environment - after all, the duty finder has been cross-server for ages. Toxicity however, especially in regards to loot, seems to be comparatively low. And that's despite tools like server change, name change and fantasia easily available. So I wouldn't be worried too much about this aspect.

Personally, I doubt much will change for me with this addition - I scarcely even use the party finder and even if I would, Balmung's is crowded.

Ragnarok PF is filled with everything during peak hours so I don't think we will benefit from it more like other server will benefit from us.

This. Selfishly, I'll say I'm, at most,...interested in the new feature. By no means excited and even maybe slightly worried what it will lead to.

Since none of the EU servers lack players to do stuff, if their PF is empty it just means they have no one who is ready to bother with actually building a party.
So I worry it will just be tons of players jumping into Ragnarok parties instead of making their own..?

I also have had nothing but the worst experiences with literally everyone from Shiva I ever stumbled upon, and by keeping "German" off in DF I managed to mostly avoid them,
but with shared PF now, they might hop into international parties more since the system no longer sorts them out based on language :/
Not quite sure yet how I feel about that either .-.

Anyway. We'll see how it plays out, no point in worrying about it yet^^
