Seek and Ye Shall Find (Duty)
July 04, 2013

Greetings all!
Fernehalwes popping in again to remind everyone that the newest installment in the Developers' Commentary series has gone live. This time, Yoshi-P and Foxclon dive into a giant, steaming pile of duty...uh...finder...er...CHECK IT OUT!



Yearning to sink your mighty axe into a fiery primal's lower thigh? Dreaming of plucking each and every silky plume from Garuda's backside? But just can't be bothered with the hassle of rounding up that 'perfect' party? Then let the duty finder do the dirty work, and spend the time you save engaging in the finer things...

...like macking on single Lalafells...


For those of you who just can't get enough of these fandangled 'moving pictures' all the kids are talking about, GOOD NEWS! We'll have a second video up later this week, just in time for the Beta Test. Huzzah!

Heh! They said " Doody !"

On a more serious note!

This is Freakin' Awesome and a bag o' Cheetoes!!!

I know people have a problem with cross-world things, but the potential to lightly try out playing with Japanese players just is very cool in my book. Also, this is neat and now we don't have to hear the lonely strains of people asking for Classes over in the zone with the Stasasha (sp) dungeon!

Yay!

Also, lol Black.. I just saw that movie a couple days ago.

very cool!

Definitely awesome to have a solid working 'group' finder in place at launch, especially given the fact its working with the cross platform play. I didnt realize we'd be able to join up with others cross world though, thats quite awesome and should really make tracking down folks to join up for tougher adventurers or quests alot easier.
They can take more of my money now! (and in fact they will b once I grab a ps3 version to expand my access to the game lol)

Love the info. Also, for a moment I thought there was an early implication that Vanellope there was a Lalafel... >.>

She could be!

I think I will still be walking to the dungeon entrance anyway, it just wouldn't feel right warping there

well unless i done it a million time already, but i think i will be running or using a mount I don't like to teleport, you miss all the scenery and the life of the world

Totally agree with this!

Well, you have to "open" the Dungeon first on the Duty Finder list. The first dungeon tends to have a quest attached that you have to walk/travel there and then talk to an NPC that lets you in. So initially, you have to discover such a dungeon first, through quest or other (I couldn't find the NPC in my area for it, but I read there were other NPCs in other areas that gave out the same quest ; Dungeon Stahasha (sp) ).

Also, if you notice in the video, some of the lower lists are greyed out and they have a "Lock" icon at the start.

So yes, ultimately, you first have to travel to the dungeon the first time. Second or more would allow for sign-ups from anywhere.
