Content Finder

[Elexia]

I don't get what people like you have agaisnt other people seeing and doing the content a game has to offer?

Hmm, pretty sure I explicitly stated:

They merely just need to add more content for all ranges or reasons to replay certain content.

You can't be against doing content, if you specifically states a game need more content and a reason to redo previous content.

That doesn't fly with me. If I bought a game and paying for it I should be able to play it right? I don't get what people like you have agaisnt other people seeing and doing the content a game has to offer? Basically if I am paying for a game I want to play it. Having the game find people to play with isn't making it easy. The difficulty of a game should not be finding people to play with that is just silly. The difficult part should be killing fighting mob in dungeons and killing bosses.

This isn't 10 years ago queue systems and matchmaking are what is expecting in current gen games.

If "playing" for you is getting into a dungeon and killing bosses, why aren't you playing a game that caters to your specific playstyle? There are scores of them out there. The reason why there isn't a "WoW killer" is because there isn't a need for one. The people that want to play WoW will play WoW. A few will want to play WoW with a different skin. Everyone else? An untapped market which is only growing as more people wake up to the fact that WoW's method might not have been the best one after all. FFXIV doesn't need to emulate WoW, nor should it, because it isn't going to be able to compete in Blizzard's own game.

I still don't get the hate with content finder. If they don't let you choose what classes you want to join when you flag up then i would not use it, but weather you guys like it or not its gonna be here in 2.0.

I never seen this feature work that way where you pick people you want. You can enter the queue with friends but not pick people out of it.

In most mmos that have this it almost always works like this. People pick the roles they can or want to do, tank, healer or damage dealer then enter the queue with a button on their UI. They are put into a pool of players across all servers. FFXIV's case the game could put a group together with 1 tank 5 damage dealers and 2 healers for example. They have a match making server that matchs people in that pool with others. The game tells you when a group is formed a prompt pops up to tell inform you and you can hit enter then you are teleported to the instance on a instance server with the other people the matchmaking server has found for you.

You then proceeded to kill mobs and bosses in the dungeon with your new party members.

They way it normally works Firon is you select the role you want to play, So Tank, DD or Healer and then get stuck in a queue.

I mean the classes i'm looking for. You know the first party search we had i like that one but no one would use it. The old search i could say i wanted 3 Pgl 4 THMs and a Gla to join my pt and only those classes join, no more than 3 pgl and 4 thm's and 1 gla.

Yea I doubt it will work that way, I imagine they will keep it as roles so it makes it fair across the board.

It will probably mean less stacking of specific jobs, of course people can switch jobs once they are in the instance after some discussion.

Its not like what we had previously either.

You click a button > click the role(s) you want to play > everyone gets put in a queue > server matches up 1 tank, 5 DD and 2 healers > enter dungeon.

This is what we have now Se could make the best content finder if they tweaked this one right.

Even tho this pic sucks you can set what area you want to be in but not the content, but you can set how many of what class you want in the pic i have 1 Gla 2 cnj and 1 pgl and 3 thm's.

Yea that thing is a convoluted mess tbh, there is no reason to enter in what you are looking for or what levels as the content will define it most of the time.
