I don't care that the rewards or buffs were removed. It's not a big deal to me -- never was.

What is a big deal is the number of you who see absolutely no reason to be in a guild group if you can get a single enchant powder from being with randoms, and somehow consider that 'easy mode'.

So this is the 'community'. A group of people who are angry because, in their minds, they are 'forced' to not run with other people they know -- a CLEAR AND DISTINCT advantage -- so they can get an extra enchantment powder if they clear the dungeon with randoms. IOW...a group of people who are content to throw their guildmates to the wind and consider their presence less useful than a powder that can be purchased for the cost of a few mobs.

Good job sticking up for 'community', you leeching vultures. Now stop whining.


Yes You're right too In my opinion...

***PLEASE EME READ***

Here's what Would've been more.. of a solution imo:

Apply the rewards/consumables items and buffs to Guild-Members formed Groups and I ASSURE YOU Guarantee 90% of all the complains will be GONE. You should've done that seriously guys...

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.


As other players have stated, LFD tool is meant to shorten the time it takes for casual players to get into a dungeon. This makes sense.

With no buffs or items being given, using the LFD tool becomes optional and those of us who would like to avoid PUGs or would rather group with people from our server can do so without feeling gimped.

They're trying to find the right balance for both player types. That's alright by me.

Good choice on EME's part, I was always for a LFD system but the rewards given for using it were unnecessary in the first place. Obviously they felt that the system they laid out in the first place wasn't the best one and it was due for some tweaks. Just because they have listened to the vocal majority a few times does not mean that they are willing to crack everytime a couple people whine, that has been exemplified in the past with many other topics.

I'm still waiting for the announcement of a cross-server friends list if it's not in there already, keep it up EME.

Charms and harvesting = Buffs. We didnt really need more just for making a group anyway. :) No loss on this decision. +1 EME for calming down a few screamers.

You're the reason Americans are branded as morons. Go read a bit more before you make comments that make you look bad

JP Tera player here. The rewards for the group finder are completely ridiculous. You get items that total between half a million and a million just for clicking a button. You've proven that you're just as misinformed as everyone else in this thread. This is actually a good decision on En Masse's part for once, stop acting like the opposite.

As others have said, the cross server aspect also needs to go. Keep in mind the group finder wasn't implemented in KR or JP Tera for months after release, when the population was drastically less. Tera lost players rather quickly in both of those countries. With that in mind, you could say the primary reason for the cross server group finder was because players actually couldn't find random players to party with. There simply weren't enough people on a single server to party with to run some of the early dungeons. I would know, I went through it. On NA release, I expect this not to be the case.

Wait wait wait, so does that mean that the cool-down timer on dungeon is still being cut in half when using LFD?


honestly, it wouldnt matter anyway, because any group that was found using the dungeon finder would take longer to clear the content than a full guild run

I am extremaly glad to hear this great news! Its not perfect yet, but its a good step forward. Always nice to see EME listen to its fan base.

The bonuses idea was interesting, but the way it sounded like it looked like it would end up being more rewarding to do dungeon runs with the LFG system then just doing it with friends,

There remains the issue of the cross-server search tool, which is a HUGE problem for a healthy community, even more so when a good tight server community is super important in TERA due to politics.
I hope that the decision to keep Cross-server tools are not final and that it will be restricted to being single server search based.

Okay 1st, that's just writing something to write something and has no actual point.
Second, Again a misinformed "special person", if you would've read a bit more on the subject you would've, I guess, understood that we can group with up to 4people and then join LFD and it wouldn't change anything. And I highly doubt 1 random pug would make that much of a diff '-.-

Okay so If I follow, a misinformed person in your standards is a person who has a different opinion than yours? I'm not the kind of person who talks without knowing what he is talking about, I know this is kind of new on these forums but it's no reason to think everyone does.

And yes indeed since these items who are so "overpriced" won't be acquired as often and easily as before, it will cause a gigantic "Inflatuation" on the market since you won't be able to get them as often.
