Sorry, but Content deal finder again.....

[Starlord]

I actually found this to be a Positive sign. Looks like Content finder isn't going to auto port people into instances.

Yeah, Content Finder in terms of FFXIV will probably just simply this:

- Put up Content Finder
- Choose which content you want to choose
- 8 people have Generated for said Content
- Those 8 people get put into party
- Go to the place you want to go to the way you normally would. (Via: Teleport, Chocobo, Airship etc)

I'm 90% sure that this is how its going to work

Nothing is wrong with finding content aka stuff to do with other people.

This feature helps you do that.


This will do wonders for PvP too.

I don't mind it as long as the best stuff still comes from open world content. Instances are nice and all but they lose novelty fast as its the same cut/paste over and over. At least with open world and HNM we get some variety each time.

That's how it would work for a party on the same server... how does it work for cross server parties?

Tell me why variety can't come from instances again? There is literally nothing positive that open world does that instanced can't.

I think it'll work the same way. it says to make an EXP party with the purpose of EXPing inside a dungeon or instance.

My assumption was essentially that accept you'd have to go to the desired instance first. So A) Show up at Cutter's Cry B) Speak with NPC and select Content Finder option.

The NPC could just say something like "You do not have the requisite number of party members to enter, would you like to wait for volunteers?"

It can go either or.. either way is fine =)

How? I don't see the difference in terms of "losing novelty", the same thing over and over is exactly that... the same thing over and over.

The party can be made with placeholder names until you enter the instance, in theory.

I would say that instances can be more unique than open world, especially if you have random dungeon generation, they could even make the trash mobs randomly generated.

I think something like MMM for XP dungeon parties would be a great idea.
