Blizzard continues to take the suck out of MMO’s, (I am even tempted to start playing WoW again). Actually i think i am going start playing Wow again, just because of this feature.
The Dungeon Finder, from everything I’ve heard just sounds epic. It let you queue up for a server solo or by a group, cross server. It trys it best to find people that match you level, and experience, and it auto ports you to the entrance when the group is ready to enter the dungeon….
There a huge thread on the tool here
I haven’t seen the tool in practice since i don’t play WoW (but it think i will), but it just sounds epic. It looks like it will really help with my main complaint about MMO’s. It takes to long to find a group.
SoE, Mythic, Bioware… and the other.. you need to copy this tool! This tool i think will be a must have for MMO’s if they want to stay competitive.
Apparently players have somehow managed to work the suck back in:

It is a great tool. I’m so happy to Blizzard provide some innovation rather than just copying features out of other games.
I totally hope Sony copies this feature…
