[Request] Please add to the partyfinder a "Stone-Sea-Sky" requirement option

[KarstenS]

At least for Savage content.

I did look into different party finder groups this week.

It was always the same.

7 people where not perfect, but good enough...

... but the 8th performed so utterly bad, so that the duty failed at the end of the timer and the party disbanded.

It will not bring an instant win. But it will noticeable increase the chance of finishing a duty.

I always hoped this was their intention eventually. I keep hoping they add it. This is more important than an ilvl requirment on a PF. I've seen people with great gear do terrible at their job and vice versa.

Yeah, though I haven't done SSS myself (I never got round to unlocking it), I can see both sides and probably skew more in favour of it. But, I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. What's to stop someone doing SSS, beating it, and then just chilling out and not trying in the actual party? Could this be why they haven't added it? And what could be done to shield this from happening? Don't get me wrong, I want this added myself (and I really should go unlock SSS at some point), but I want to open up the floor to opposing ideas and help us find a solution for the problems that could occur.

as far as i understand, with limited experience with Stone, Sky, Sea... isnt it limited to HW trial difficulty only?

There is one for 4.0 content right outside Rhalgr's Reach.

There's two areas with SSS dummies: The first being unlocked in Idyllshire for the HW trials, and the second at Rhalgr's Reach for the SB trials. You have to unlock the HW SSS dummies before the SB ones, of course.

SSS is an indicator of raw DPS ability, it does not take into account mechanics, positionals or party contributions that are integral parts of Savage raiding. While it is a decent indicator that you have the DPS to successfully complete the instance, it does nothing to show that you have the mechanical skill to do so and as such is useless in indicating a good player from a bad one.

But...
If someone can't complete the SSS for the trial...

Wouldn't that mean they aren't proficient enough with their job to be queueing into that content in the first place?


That seems like a fair benchmark to set as a toggle...

That is the absolute last info source you want to use for this game, trust me.

Also regarding this thread forcing a SSS clear requirement won't change anything. Even if you have the DPS capacity that doesn't mean you will employ it properly, and some people might just get lazy and want a carry anyway.
