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

[Nikita]

"We have Group Finder for those that want to jump into a random group, and our standard PC search for those that don't wish to use Group Finder, oh, and you can use this in leveling and dungeons!"

Wow, they so sincerely want everyone to be happy and be able to play the way they want to play, and there are people like the OP who will not be happy unless SE caters to them specifically and ignores everyone else.

That is quite disgusting.

Can you give me specific examples of things that are done in open world that can't be done in instances, aside from having other groups around?

Well I can't speak for what Kiote was getting at, but I can tell you a very big thing that's missing in instances to me, and that would be the "open world" part. I largely play mmos to experience the worlds they are built in. I like wandering into the various tough places and randomly trying to make my way though them. If an mmo is supposed to be about instancing, then why make a world in the first place? Why not just make a city and have everyone sit there while they wait for their instance to cue? I personally do not really like waiting in the city to be shuffled off to a cubicle. But if I want to do that content, I don't really have a choice. Even friends will cue up, rather than run out to the instance.

But as long as they continue to make open world content along with instanced, I'm not too concerned about it. Both are needed for different types of people.

I have used dungeon finder and raid finder in WoW. Both were very useful. It didn't get rid of harder content either.

Dungeon finder let you run dungeons 5 man group, while leveling up so you could get a lot of exp while running through some easy dungeons with a group thats put together for you. This is pretty good because you can't always find people your level to group with. Or you man not want to only solo with quests. They also let you do 5 man dungeons at level cap to get some basic gear you need for harder raids later on.

The way Blizzard did their raid finder set up is that its 25 man, and the difficulty of the raid is set to Easy. Now there is also a normal and hard mode. If you run the raid on normal or hard you have to make your own group and go to the zone like normal raid finder can't make a raid for those difficulties. Normal and Hard mode drop better items then the Easy raid finder version of the raid. In WoW less then 1% of the player base can beat the Heroic (hard modes) raids. Most people can do easy or normal.

So in the end you can have a raid finder and still allow really hard content for hardcore players.

What of those poor 2005 DRGs?

Without their wyvern* :P

And you forgot to mention Thief, because to sneaky they doesn't exist ? ^^.

I've had time to farm over 10 Leaping Lizzy in a row until i got an invite, it was the only good part of the no party invite, you can seek while doing things (farm & stuff~).

I really like how it's going to be, "Extra-Community", because i don't even care about the one of my server as i probably will never know everyone.

With that I am still saying World finder is going to have the dev team focus heavilly on instanced content....yay.

Not that it needs to be stated again, but I'm against this and I hope SE doesn't do what I think they are doing. Suprise me SE keep your crummy content finder to a minimum.

Hmm... wait, what's wrong with the Content Finder? If you wanna do a dungeon and don't have enough people on your server ask for somebody else and they'll come aiding, also knowing other people is fun if you ask me!
Also I believe only dungeons is lame, so I espect some open world content, that's kickass~

There is nothing wrong with a content finder. The problems only begin when players are able to teleport instantly to any content from anywhere in the world via Content Finder.

Also it gives them more reason to do instanced content as well.
