DRM are not what we think?

@Fueki.4753 said:GW2 has a group finder, too, so that wouldn't work as an argument though.No, GW2 has a group finder. I was talking about an automated queue system, that, even with it being automated, can guarantee certain minimum level of player preparation. It's of course impossible to guarantee skill level (or just plain not being a kitten), but the duty finder queue can at least guarantee that (for a 4-man dungeon) you will have a tank, a healer and 2 dpses, and that those players will be wearing correct gear for their class and role (as well as having certain minimum gear ilevel for later dungeons/raids). All those things can't be done in GW2 by an in-game system. They can only be filtered for by players themselves (thus the whole killproof LFG requirements thing)

And there also are tryhards in FF14 that try to act as a different role.I've met some healers, mostly White Mages, who aimed to play as a 4th DPS instead of trying to heal.Like i said, no automated system can guarantee that your party members won't end up being kittens. Still, FF XIV can filter for practically everything that is not a pure human factor. Which is, again, not something GW2 can do.

Think how the very same FF XIV instances that are mostly okay for casual players doing story would end up if you could get, for example, a group with no tank or healer, and with every single dps wearing wrong gear (i.e. a party of: Samurai in healer gear, Machinist in tank gear, Bard in caster gear and Black Mage in dex melee gear).

@"zealex.9410" said:Imo lw and expansions would imrpove if story missions were solo/group content like drms. Extra point if they have rare drops and achievements to promote replayability.

Also strikes, major fights in story could then be strikes for groups.

I agree with that. The solo story bosses is a format that doesn't work imo, makes it feel like the BIG END BOSS of the expansion is just a stupid dummy that you can face alone and easy win with little to no effort during the fight.

A "strike mission style" last chapter would be great. Imagine creating strike mission for big bosses like mordremoth and balthazar. Not only the end of the story would feel much more epic and significant, we also would have more end game contant that remains and is replayable. Great idea my friend.

The end for core story was story mode of the dungeon Arah, players dident like that they all of a sudden had to group to finish story so I doubt Anet will make that mistake again.

I remember the last core story boss fight is a single player content, and i can remember the horrible fight with zaithan where u just press one key on the cannon to damage and kill him, and who in the world would prefer this horrible content to a strike mission where u have a real epic fight against zaithan?

People didn't like to play arah story mode as "final chapter"(i can't remember that but it was in 2013, so might be my memory -404 memory not found).People don't like a lot of contents in gw2 but yet we have it. Players will never have all the same tastes, but they can focus on what players that play the game a lot of time want (players where they get most of the money from) . And i suppose you are saying that anet wont do this while you would like it, am I right?

They changed it at release it was a 5 man dungeon instance.Yes there was alot of complaints that their story ended with a party instance.Mostly because it was a kitten ending. Having multiple "commanders" didnt even make sense in your own story finale.

Strike missions for last boss fight in story chapters really hype me a lot, but i guess the problem is real.

But i think they could solve the problem if they want! The question is "will they consider a strike mission for the final boss fight in the story"? I hope so :D

Hope not!!!!!!!!!

So you prefer to spam 1 :confused:

LMAO! You really have no idea at all how I play. I do know that forced strike missions are something I don't want.

+1 from me - I don't spam 1, but I also do not feel like having forced strikes for story completion. I'm not looking for

great

gameplay when it comes to story instances, I'd prefer something more engaging than Zhaitan but nothing close to the time-padded nature of DRMs. I actually really liked the pre-nerf Caudecus fight from LWS3, and would welcome more story bosses like that.

They could have the story missions follow a drm structure and then for kajor bosses have a stike mission mode after completion.
