[Feedback] First Month of Endgame Progression / Gameplay Notes

[Gray_Spy]

Everyone probably has these thoughts in some way or another, but just wanted to add to the list of feedback given to the team. Overall, the game is fun and I love the direction the game is headed. There are some things that need to be addressed in one way or another , and hopefully we'll hear something soon. Thanks again for making this game possible and playable !

1 - Endgame / Coil Preparation
Add Variety
Grinding AK and CM are not "fun" when done 6-7 hours straight. Possibly re-visit lowbie dungeons and offer Hard Mode difficulty with equivalent AK or CM rewards to add variety? I grinded this weekend Saturday and Sunday all day to get 1320 points twice (for just two pieces) and that soaked up most of the weekend.

2 - Primals / Duty Finder
Queue System
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has this system, but if you leave a group (during an attempt) it will give you a cooldown. Each time you leave, it becomes more severe (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week+, etc.). This will make people more conscience and will learn to cope with all players from different levels of experience and play style to complete a queue and not just arbitrarily leave.

iLVL / Group Makeup and Balance
I love that there is an ability to queue cross-realm. Great idea, but there's some things that should be added (iLVL addressed) in regards to variety and availability. It's less-than-ideal to queue with a group of 3 Black Mages or all range DPS/caster DPS. Ideally, would like to see one or so of each class to add increased chances for everyone to get equal distribution of loot. Also, fights like Titan which clearly was designed to be a one-tank fight..Duty Finder should be re-tuned to accommodate this fight.

Dealing with disruptive players
Nobody likes people who rudely cause grief to a group. People who intentionally wipe, or have rude manners should receive infractions or disciplinary action in a timely fashion. Possibly a rating system to show that a player is helpful. I have been personally contributing to groups and people thank me for not calling them a noob in-game and just trying to make solutions to problems and progressing for the groups. Possibly like when completing a Dungeon or Duty Finder Primal, have a menu to rate players, and give feedback.

3 - Misc. Menu Function Issues / UX & UI Issues
Fix Search Comments / Search Function / Possibly Add Filters
I find that the search function is a bit difficult to use. If I could somehow search by players who have comments so I can see if they're looking for a certain group-related activity or more advanced filter (Like, searching for a New Player Titan HM group) would greatly help out and reduce spamming /sh or /yell for groups and other people.


That's all I have for now. Things that really bother me as a player and I think would be constructive to the community. Hopefully we can turn this ship around and make people be more polite and conscience and not a bunch of rudely mannered individuals. Thanks again.


Take care,
