No matter how much is going on, in Tarisland, you never wait long for a dungeon invitation. This is due to a clever idea from the developers, which, according to MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz, lacks one option.
What is this clever idea? Already in the tutorial, the developers throw all Tarisland newcomers into a fight against a raid boss, where the character is flanked by several AI fighters who tank, heal, and deal damage. Thus, it becomes clear early on that the NPCs of the MMORPG act smart enough to play mechanics cleanly and take on roles in group content.
This is not a one-time thing. If you wait too long through Tarisland’s automatic group search for enough companions for a dungeon, the system will assign you AI fighters with the appropriate roles again. And by too long, only a very short time window is meant. You should never wait several minutes for a dungeon invitation in this online role-playing game.
The cinematic trailer for the launch of Tarisland:
How well does the system work? The invitations come quickly, and the AI fighters can be recognized by their generic names and lack of titles. Furthermore, you cannot access an options menu by right-clicking on their portraits.
In battle, the NPCs act effectively, play mechanics cleanly, and if you have an AI healer by your side, they reliably keep your party alive. On reddit, Kebabslayer2 also reports a negative experience:
“We were held hostage in our second dungeon because we had an AFK member. We tried to vote them out of the group, but the bot apparently can’t vote for the kick, so we had to leave the instance (and lost our chances for rewards from the last two bosses).”
You have chosen the best MMORPG of all time:
What option is our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz missing? In my column Tarisland is so far the perfect MMORPG for dads like me, I already revealed to you that I really appreciate the tiering of the content, the technically clean launch, and the high comfort of the MMORPG. The idea with the AI fighters also creates more comfort.
However, I do not understand why the developers of the game do not take the next step and offer an option like in WoW: The War Within or Final Fantasy XIV to immediately start the dungeon run with enough AI fighters.
The advantages are obvious: The waiting times are even shorter in doubt, everyone can get to know new dungeons at their own pace or get accustomed to new roles like that of the healer or tank in a safe environment.
