It's really TERAable that you guys teased us with a feature and then removed it before even letting players try it out yet.

EME, it's great to listen to the community, but understand that the opinions are not based on experience with this feature.

Please let us try FIRST and decide later. I don't see how this feature could destroy from the time of release until first patch.

Give it a chance eh?

Thanks!

SouleD, We are not removing a feature. The bonus buffs/consumable items that were an addition to the feature will no longer be given.


Well that's exactly why I am upset, the cool-down timer split/buffs/consumables items were really really useful and rewarding and completely removing the opportunity to get them in any way is In my opinion really pissing off.


What they removed was giving people lollipops when the really point of using the system is fast queuing. That should be the only reward... If you want dusts or whatever buy them. You also wanna be given every single piece of content at lvl 1? work for what you want, dont expect random rewards where they are not fair

Just the items and buffs are being removed. We have a brand new economy and need to gradually balance it for the west. Between your feedback and this blank slate we think this is a good starting point.

Nobody has even tried the system out on the NA servers and you're already removing it...because of some vocal people on the forums? Disturbing


Exactly. This specific case isn't that much of big deal and never was. It's more the example it sets for complainers and ensures a never ending stream of tears. I guarantee you basically everyone that complained about the buffs and rewards didn't even know what they were.

What's next? Make the dungeon finder search limited to players within a 10m radius because someone posted a subjective misinformed wall of text? The best thing they can do is not read the forums at all until some time after launch, when you know, people have actually played the damn game.


Yes... that's why they should wait a while after launching the full game before listening to QQs and making significant changes in the game based on them.. You're completely right on that the majority of those who complained did not even know more than 20% of how the system worked... I'm ready to bet on that

Being able to forge relationships with other players is a unique aspect of MMOs and design decisions should always reinforce social interactions.


It being cross server negates a lot of social community building, due to the fact you may never see or hear from a person you party with after the instance is finished.

Glad to see the buffs removed, but the cross server aspect is the one part of it I dislike the most. We'll just have to wait and see how well the community works with it come open beta.

The problem wasn't ever really the fact that rewards were being given. The problem was the system they were being given out with. A system that still exists.

Although the cross-server dungeoning system is no longer strictly better than in-server partying, there's still the issue that its very existence impairs in-server partying.

After all, if anyone wants to make a group for a dungeon but not have to deal with the unaccountability cross-server creates, not only are they restricted to those who want to do that dungeon, they are still restricted to the incredibly narrow pool of players who ALSO are not using the LFD tool.

So the problem that people were complaining about that En Masse responded to by removing the rewards still exists. All this change does is anger what few people who COULD tolerate cross-server stupidity, while doing virtually nothing to placate people who actually want to enjoy their dungeon runs.

Thanks so much Knoxxer for listening to the community, but I do have one question, will warriors be able to que as a Tank the the NA version ?
