New Cross Server PF is Intimidating

[Dement]

I have to respect the development team for their work trying to deal with such a culture clash getting the same things to work on both JP and non-JP server groups. PF conversations? Cross-world politics? Selling runs? Selling houses? It's like another world in every sense :s

Ours is literally just a bunch of Zurvan/WT/Alex Savage groups peppered with a few RPers having fun and occasional first timers wanting a fresh run through Haukke Manor to train their newbie friend etc. I think the most edgy thing I've ever seen in PF was a drunk person suggesting an all-night bird farm. These anecdotes are on another level.

Those are just the more common annoying ones that congest the PF. The most edgy ones I've seen on Aether are along the lines of "Join the Honey Pot Discord Server for lewd minds and lewd conversations" and things along the lines of "Adorable Lallafel looking for sexy Miqotes for sultry adventures."

I would also like to point out that not one of these came from Balmung, thank you.

Remember for statics that this feature isn't going away. You can form a cross-server static, now!

Actually, from what I can tell this isn't really possible.

You can form statics for current content since it's all in the Duty Finder... but if you intend for that static to stick together up to 4.0 when we get a new raid I don't think it will work.

You'll have to enter the new raid manually, through the open world entrance. You cant cross-server anything that requires manual entry (see: POTD).

I just want to see less advertisements that have nothing do with me. For example, Savage sales from servers that aren't my own; or advertisements for being able to craft anything in-game, again from another server; and even FC recruitments form servers also not my own.

These ads make the PF look cluttered and ugly, and sometimes I don't wanna skim through it cause it's full of junk I can't even reply to.

They seem to be moving away from this. The Creator Savage is queued up for through Raid Finder and has been since inception.

It'll probably be in raid finder right away so you can probably do cross server statics. (It was one of the reasons why cross PF+raid finder were implemented so people could find statics without server transferring).

Put a password on it, queue RF and go.

It's a mixed bag. Nothing too toxic yet, but plenty of people leaving groups after second wipe in learning parties. Oh, and one guy was told to off himself, but I'm not sure if that was serious.

That seems pretty par for the course after 2 wipes.

Pls. Real players rage quit after the first wipe.

I used to pull up the PF and see, at most, 8. Usually the same people birb farming or what not. So, when I joined I knew what I was getting into.

Now, it's 40+ PF's, and most are from other servers. I'm just worried how toxic some of the parties may become because of the ambiguity.

Anyone else feel this way?

welcome to balmung

Haven't seen many toxic parties in Primal. Several people in other servers were pretty helpful on many instances like Zurvan Ex and AS12. I honestly don't see anything wrong with it.
