No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

Tera hasn't been released, either.

Tera has been out for over a year...it just hasn't release 'here' yet.

There is a major difference there.

Semantics ... regardless the archaic grouping mechancis need to go

And when did they add the instance finder for the version that's been out for a year?

Heh, do they have one yet?

I'm not against the tool, and one is coming to SWTOR.

I'm just trying to point out that no other game has ever launched with one that I'm aware of.

I'm gonna respond to you from another thread if you don't mind since it got locked. Yeah I can see the benefits of full group creation and freedom (like we have now without a proper interface) versus the benefits of an automated system (again from an intra server section)

The problem is if we shift away from automation people will again just stop doing flashpoints and find something else to do like warzones like they are now. Don't kid yourself, even if they made a proper searching interface people would still ignore it. Personally, I don't want to be interupted during quests to search out someone who may or not be there or have to spot fill in a instance half way through.

Leveling flashpoints are almost non-existant on many servers now and that is spreading to the heroic missions on planets as well. It's not because they suck or are bad it's just that they are poorly implemented. Once you've run them through on a character and realize the potential hassle involved people just disregard them.

Here's hoping the LFG tool they end up implementing has a checkbox to indicate whether the group should be formed from players on any server or only players on your server.

Wouldn't that would be satisfactory to everyone?

*shrug* I don't play TERA, so I wouldn't know. However, it's not really a "new" game, just one that's being re-released with more features somewhere else.

This would probably make queue times for same servers a lot longer. Most people will end up choosing xserver just to save time. Which would lead to same server queues being very long. They should either make it same server and allow free transfers (one transfer per week per character) or make it Xserver if they don't want to offer free transfers.


The LFG tool should make you select the FP/HQ/Op, then select your preferred role. FPs and Ops should port you (and your group mates) into the zone like warzones do and HQs should simply place 4 people into a group together (though this would be difficult if it were cross server, haha). They would then travel to the HQ area to complete the quest. Not all HQs are instanced, so porting wouldn't work for a lot of them.
