Baldesion Arsenal Feedback

[Rockette]

Hoo boy. This is has been stressful.

While the dungeon itself is fun, the intended method for party finding is eluding me.

1) You cannot rely on a premade. NA players are screaming DON'T BE ENTITLED, YOU DON'T OWN THE PORTALS and sniping spots from teams who are just trying to prog together while simultaneously flexing their entitlement expecting that team to hold their hand, carry them and explain mechanics. Taking a groups tank or healer off them by rushing portals when they realise groups are attempting to clear and bringing their progress attempt to a complete stop is, understandably, making people hugely upset.

2) You cannot rely on a pug group. You can't change classes in the Arsenal so making a group with a couple of dps, a tank and healer when you get in is almost impossible....unless you make a premade...which you can't rely on, because see point one.

I'm confused on what the intended method of party finding is supposed to be. I assume this system works fine in Japan where people are generally courteous of others but for NA/EU, it's a nightmare. The hostility is reaching all time highs.

Diadems Emergency Mission (while massively flawed in itself) at least allowed teams to enter together.

How is everyone else feeling. The content itself is very fun I thought but this party organizing and desperate rush to get in when pugs realise premades are having an attempt is creating some seriously bad blood.

Edit: I assume this wasn't completely overlooked by the SE team considering the timely announcement of revised behaviour rules.

Edit 2: Trying to get 7 teams in the same instance by spamming the queue over and over again seems like the opposite thing Square would want.

Edit 3: On top of the portal/instancing issues, the mechanics culling due to too many players is horrendous. Example of floor AOE not appearing in AV: https://youtu.be/B5q3hMresgQ and https://twitter.com/mist_llDX/status...42680310943744
