I sort of agree with this. IIRC there are games that support cross server LFG, for example BnS, where people join a lobby and either make their own room or join someone else's room. Would be great if TERA had that feature too, together with the IMS feature. Would save many people a lot of trouble by giving them more ways to form parties.
That said, I also get the feeling that this was purposely omitted to cash-in on server transfers. /shrugs
I actually agree to most of the points here.
Waiting 2.5mins for loading is kinda long, and I would also expect someone to at least inform the party if he's in the middle of something and needs some time to finish it. He chose to use IMS when busy, so it's his responsibility, not ours to ask.
I've also spoken out about the usage of incomplete crystals and having no crystalbinds in parties before. But the response I get turns out to be not what I expected. "Don't be elitist"/"No gold to buy"/"I don't know what crystal to use" blahblahblah. What the actual [filtered] man? Me asking for proper/complete crystals + crystalbind makes me an elitist now? No gold? Really? When fine cruxes go for ~10g on broker and crystalbinds for ~50g there's really no excuse for that. Don't know what crystals to use? The welcome message tells you what to use, so don't give me that [filtered]. These kinda situations actually [filtered] me off the most, since it neither helps the person without proper crystals to learn what to use, nor helps the community in the long run.
As for the usage of wrong sets of crystals, it's rather obvious when you're experienced in the game that the person probably just forgot to switch sets. It's also not hard to remind him to change his crystal set since he might have forgotten, rather than ninja kicking for assuming he doesn't know what he's doing. In addition, if someone actually initiated a kick for wrong set of crystals, he should have been experienced enough to know that it was probably a a careless mistake.
That's true, but I'm not very active in TERA currently. I usually just login and complete dungeons and get out. Players don't usually want friends who just login for short periods of time and disappear after that. Only thing i have is better than average proficiency in most of the classes the game has to offer, since I have a bad disadvantage of playing with 250 ping.
Cry me a river, suck it up and make your own LFG if you're that good.
I have seen some tank + healer join IM together and kick all +12 dps untill they get full +15 dps. These guys don't care how long +12 dps wait to join IM dungeon. These people are like psychopath. They got no moral and inconsiderate of others.
Looks like you're completely missing the point, but doesn't matter I guess. Some people don't know empathy, so I don't blame them.
Why should they? You don't seem to care how many times that healer wished resurrect had 0 seconds cooldown or how many times the tank wished he had a damage hack just so he can be out of there before the end of the month. What makes those damage dealers so special that everybody needs to care about them and only them?
It sounds bad to kick people out of IMS due to his gear since queuing IMS for a dps takes long and this is a selfish action. However, a dps supposes to deal 20% of damage in a 5-man dg. If certain dps/tank dose not have any or correct crystals, (i am not talking about gear and cruxes are ok ofc) and extremely unfamiliar with his class and this dg, this player also wastes other 4 people's time. It is not hard for any players to find a guide of a dg and class. in addition, not killed by boss does not mean the player doing a good job. Without debuffs from tanks and healers, the party will lose 20% dps.
This is my painful story this patch. I was doing iod bams while queuing bg and ssn for dailies on my guile 12 alt. Ssn popped. There were 4 100% noobs. Obviously, tank never had aggro and priest never debuffed the boss. 1st and 2nd bosses were fine. it just took extremely long time as if i were soloing. However at last boss, i was always chosen by boss due to highest aggro and they never broke the shield. Atm, priest had already used all his noob res and we wiped. Another try, we wiped again. Then I explained everything about this boss and they were like "I dont need u to tell me what i should do. You are not smarter. You are the worst dps i ve ever seen." After they declining to kick and disband, i dropped. It has been more than 1 hr. And it was just an ssn run.
If only all newbies were like you, people who use IMS won't have such a hard time. Most of the time when I ask a question or call out bad play, people either don't reply or start fighting back verbally.
And there will be those people who will just give a [filtered] response like "if you don't like it then don't use IMS". Sorry but that doesn't help any of the players in any way, and is not the way we should solve problems. If this is how problems are supposed to be resolved (aka not addressing the problem and just leaving it as it is), then I don't see why no one has quit the game over very minor issues that they don't like. If you don't like something, you should just not play the game, amirite? /s
