Search system

[Leo_Hart]

I always get garbage invites using it. Just leveled bard from 1-50 and used it constantly after level 25. I got zero actual invites, eight garbage invites and one ifrit (lol?) invite. I used the comment "Level BRD Looking for an experience points party."

Garbage invites= Hello, do you need a party? Me: Yes, please. They invite and the party is for war, pld, blm, whm etc AF body quest and ask me to switch to a level 50 job.

It's not just 'waiting to get invite', actually there is party search function u can determine yourself if you want 'actual join' to the party.

1: switch to your prefer class/job (skipable if you know select the class from the menu)
2: press "-" on ur numpad
3: go to 'party'
4: 'search'
5: "begin search" (here you can change your prefer class)
6: there you go a list of party leader name with looking for your prefer class for different content.
7: click on the name to check any content you interest n 'join' button to join the party.

I'm curious still many ask me to invite and many dun want to use it even i asked to (obviously playerbase refuse to learn something 'new')

Dear people,

The party search you have pictured there is actually garbage, so it's no wonder most people completely ignore it. The player search system works much better and I frequently find people though it (though most group leaders I meet seem completely oblivious), but it has the major flaw of not allowing searching by name. Sometimes you just want to see if someone is online/where someone is, but I haven't been able to figure out how. It has some nice features but overall it's still not as usable as the FFXI search.

Friendlist allow you to check if the player online or not.

(Please note the English category names are not yet finalized.)

Hurray!

That's awesome!

I have a question though: Do they plan to allow us to add auto-translate items into our search comment?♪

thanks for your time Rukkirii!

Did I miss something? What exactly is "rallying", per se?

[Nix]

Sav, this post from Reinheart's thread may be of help to you♪

FYI for the Regrouping if you didn't know or seen JP use this one (didn't have category before so they just typed in message section) but this is for say after Ifrit or Moogle fight you want to go farm tapers or key stones but want to leave party. PT leader put's this up and that way you can join back when you're done instead of asking PT leader to invite you back.

(Rallying is tentative name for English)

It was explained over in Rein's translation thread. Basically it's a translation of a Japanese term used when they break a party temporarily to farm stuff but leave the party invite open with the type set to "rally" so people can just join back in when they're done with whatever they're doing.
