[dev1213] Player Search: Allow Multiple Preferred Classes PT Seeking *Feature Request
EXISTING UI:
Players who are seeking party select only one preferred class from a drop down.
PROPOSED UI:
Please add the ability to check a radio button next to each class you would like to mark as a preferred class, instead of only choosing one in a drop down.
EXISTING UI:
It is stated in the notes, levels for each class are shown when you view another player, where the current class icon is a different color.
PROPOSED UI:
I propose to mark this same UI such that (multiple) preferred class also show a different color or border.
EFFECT:
Party seeker shows on search results initiated by a party seeking a LV30 PUG and a different party seeking a LV45 THM.
BENEFITS:
1] Players are up front with what class they are willing use in a party. Reduces discussion stress:
*PartyLeader: "I see you have CON45, are you wanting to play that even though I see you marked GLA45 as preferred?"
*PossibleResponseA: "Sure, I wanted to mark them both as my preferred class but I could not."
*PossibleResponseB: "No I want to level GLA! Why does everyone always want my CON?! I wish I could show that I don't want to rank CON, but I can't since people just assume I would have marked it as a preferred class but was not able to"
2] Reduces party wait time exponentially by showing on multiple search results.
3] Rewards and encourages players to be versatile and play multiple classes in a game that is built on that idea.
WORKAROUND:
Search comment usage is an acceptable workaround, assuming the party finds your player in search results at all. Currently, I think searching for seeking players only returns results for preferred classes, not potential classes.
