they don't take the English forums and American players seriously, someone should translate this into Japanese and post it there.

Great post! Probably already mentioned but instead of a Toto or Darkhold party seek I think it should just be filed under quest related then in the search comments you could say what quest you want. Relatively soon the seek will have to compensate for 10-20 Raids and any main scenario or expansion quests. That's going be to much overhead and annoying to scroll through. Also I was the 300th thumb XD!

seriously...they have had people on the coding for this game for how many years now and we still get this sad excuse? How about firing all of those programers and getting some that can actually make things work properly so we can get some basic and essential systems into this whats become a joke of an MMO.
Im almost certain the OP would be happy to let you flat out copy/paste his idea.....its not like you guys had an issue with copy/paste when they made the game... -
09-20-2011, 01:28 PMMustanghaha, so true. The impression that an outsider would get is that SE is some indie company with 3 bad programmers coding the entire game. I cant imagine they have a large staff working on this game, if they do, its certainly not reflected in the product. Perhaps they have a volatile work environment and no one gets along with each other - I could imagine this being the case after what a bomb release was and then all the shuffling of the staff etc.Quote:

Very well done MeowyWowie.
Thank you for taking the time to do this for us and for them. I hope that people at SE see this and take into serious consideration if not implementation.
I agree wholeheartedly, this game needs a better Search and Seek Invite function.
I think that one of the reasons FFXI ended up having such a good community is because you could search for players so easily. I know exactly what you mean when you said that you met some great players via exp pt. I have had that experience in FFXI and to a much, much smaller degree in FFXIV.
To be perfectly honest, I like solo and group play. It depends on my mood but the majority of my FFXIV time has been solo and that's because there really isn't a good LFG system.
In any case, thanks again for posting such a detailed proposal. I really hope that you get heard. ^^ You have my support! -

This is amazing how many likes it got. Surely SE should see how many people want this/these features implemented and nicely done like this! Heck I dont even see producer letters get this many likes anymore haha

Reading the OP again I finally found something I can disagree with..
You say this need to be ONE of their top priorities. But IMHO this is literally the #1 Most devastating issue with this game.
Many systems need to be rebuilt or re-visioned but this game was Built from the ground up to support a massive amount of community interaction. It can not survive without some simple and highly functional mechanism to find people for everything. We need to find people for buying, selling, raids, repairs, quests, linkshells, leves and NMs. Just about everything in this game is more fun with more people. If we really want this game to take off there must be a way to do this and to do it fast. Finding a player for any given activity should be as simple as finding an item in the Markets should be.
Every other addition to this game will continue to be under utilized until we have an effective mechanism for finding players to interact with. -
09-21-2011, 05:16 AMReinheartI was going to translate but I think I got myself into a problem last time doing another posts translation so I'm keeping away from translating stuff onto the JP side for stuff like this one.Quote:

yup XIV has been screaming out for a simplified seek party/search for party set-up and your looks great simple and easy to use
Great Job but I'm hoping but not holding my breath over it being anywhere near 1.19..... -
09-21-2011, 12:14 PMDavorokI have a strong feeling that the only response they have atm would be "...we are looking into it.", which would really set peeps off.Quote:

They have prioritized other issues for the UI Team thus far, but I suspect this issue will show up in Yoshi's next Diagram of Doom & Delight. -

this is obviously a popular subject yet still no official response.
any of the community reps have anything to offer?
dont wanna sound pushy :P -

YoshiP posted today that he can start talking about the server stuff after 1.19 is released so we might get more info on UI and stuff like this one soon :)
