Did you ever think all of those unsocial,anti-social and solo'ish people slowly get out of that shell when they have systems like the LFD I'd say a good bit of people like that are that way simply because they are not good at getting in with groups or feel pressured or afraid of many things like failure embarrassing or just simply failing at a pull or missed heal. I am not saying your opinion is wrong I am just saying their is 2 sides to every coin.I had a friend who loved mmo's but disliked playing with people he didn't know IRL when he got back into wow and started using the LFG tool he amassed many friends and even joined a guild because of the people he met. LFD is just as much a social experience as it is a gaming one and weather you like it or not MMO's are a social game AND for all the details of buffs and items given and dungeon timer it is all just here say and nothing conformed so lets stop judging a system and a company for something we truly know nothing about yet.

@OP

Tera is already running in ,or at the very least is very close to running in, EZMode.

The MMO-FO thing has been thrown out the window and is currently rolling down the road.

The normal leveling epxeriance is already to easy, specialy in the 'normal' monster difficulty.

The ONLY challenge at the moment is soloing BAMs and 4,3,2 maning dungeons (without a healer). that and going for content at higher levels than your char which then means you cant do quests, turning the game into a 'real grind' (killing monsters over and over to level without quests)

This dungeon finder buff thing is nothing to be surprised about, the MMO-FO thing is just a marketing ploy, the actual direction EME are taking Tera is no different from any other western mmo - EZmode for the masses, with a small section of possible 'hardmode' for the rest.
Note that said 'hardmode' content has restrictions, i.e only end game dungeon have hard modes, using content above your level that means you cant do quests , and not using full groups meaning you loose some of the mmo'ness of the game.

tera will still be better than most if not all current mmo's out, but its not going to be the drastic change away from the 'last 10 years of mmo norm(aka ezmode)' alot of people including myself expected.

nothing any of us can do really, its EME/BHS choice, we ether play it ..or we dont. :)

+1

I still can't believe there are people out there who don't think TERA is already in Ezmode ... it is currently the only thing stopping me, i can see myself getting too bored too quickly and easily.

OK, so, the dreaded dungeon finder will make its way to NA-Tera. At least it's not cross-server, so there goes one of the major fears out the window, gladly.




Where did you see that the LFD isn't cross-server.




This.



Where did u guys get the info that says LFD is only server wide? I been looking all over the place but cant seem to find any source. Same with LFD reducing instance cd by 50%.



If anyone could give some links that would be awesome.


Yea, from official post from En Masse only mentions about 'rewards', all these details came based on current version of KR Tera. If there's this completed version of tool in Korea which just needs to be translated,I don't see why they would tweak/manipulate it to turn it into non-cross-servers.

They are actually promoting this new LFD tool and they want us to use it im sure they will just leave it as is. Which ties up all the players from all the servers so that those people who plays late night or early morning can get group.

Here's short clip showing the new LFD UI that i have made awhile ago.

Ugh... not only do we get buffs, but we're REQUIRED to use the tool to get extra rewards...

Wow.. Is getting a group faster not enough of an incentive?

Is it really that big of a concern? I mean who really cares, if the game was too hard you'd complain, its too easy you complain, if it was in between you'd complain it should be easier or harder.... PVE will never be "hard" because as unfortunate as this sounds your a minority aka hardcore player. Its better for a majority of content to be easy and have about 10% content actually require a hefty amount of gear/skill/teamwork so all players can enjoy most of the game. Lets be real here though.... There will be alot of gear grinding end game, and I mean that quite literally, with enchanting and constantly upgrading 2 entire sets PVE/PVP you'll probably have your hands full for quite some time. Then theres always the option of making an alt.

You all complain about getting this extra loot like your playing the "Iron Man Challenge" from WoW.

When in reality I doubt most of you are as nearly "hardcore" as you make yourselves out to be. Stop complaining and just go with it.

Btw you can start hard modes (which I hear are actually quite difficult) as early as level 48.

3 Different GM's saying the same thing. Unless Knoxxor or one of the CM's wants to come debunk these, it looks like that LFD is probably server wide only.

In kTera there was a buff, I believe, but it was incredibly minor and was maybe 5% more hp or something irrelevant.

The bag you got at the end of a random dungeon group usually had enchanting dust or teleport scrolls. Sometimes you got a different bag with equally as crappy stuff.
