Content Finder

[Tezz_Xivectro]

Be honest, if you had the option to click a button and be whisked away into content would you spend time looking for a LS, shouting or using party search?

I mean really be honest.

Not directed at me but, yes you would still be smart to find a linkshell/company.

Content Finder isn't going to change the fact you still want a core group of friends & players for STRATEGY, SCHEDULING & CONSISTENCY.

Some days you might just want to play on the whim & just do something. You might just want to see new faces & mess around (perhaps on a class you don't normally do events with).

Then when you want to get on & get stuff done, you go with your LS.

tl;dr - Yes, still need Linkshells & Friends


This isn't a lobby MMO, but it practically is already with the way content has been designed & everyone making Ul'dah the main hub.
It's never really had that "open-world" feeling of adventure & progression that we all know. Anima & instant porting everywhere along with copy-paste areas & lack of content has robbed us of it since launch (which 2.0 will hopefully fix).

It's a shame, but everyone is already in town anyway. Making it into the alleged "lobby" everyone is afraid of. Shouting & waiting is the same thing as queueing up & waiting. Shouting just takes longer & "forces" you into the same zone.

tl;dr - Feels like a Hub now. Shouting is almost the same as queueing anyway


If anything we need a dev comment with their conceived plans for this system. Are they going to design it for all content or some? How do they envision the cross-server aspect & what limitations (if any) do they have planned?

It would be much easier to discuss this knowing a bit more about how SE wants to implement it & the future of the designed content that will link to it.

(Community Team, please help us out if you can manage to get any more info!)

tl;dr - It would be nice to have more info. from the devs. Community Team please assist!

EDIT - Zumi beat me to it! ^^
