Party Finder. Are you using it??

Just wanted to remind people that the party finder is out there. We should all be trying to incorporate this into our party search process!!

Agreed! I only ever see 1 to 2 things on there at once.

SE... why in god's name is there a timer on the party finder? If the timer runs out, the party stays together, and either one of 2 things will happen:

1) Your timer has actively discouraged them and they'll give up.
2) Your timer has inconvenienced the party leader and forced him to post to the party finder again.

What possible benefit is there to timing this? It's not as if you can AFK and rake in the party joins, since, y'know, you get kicked if you're afk.

I make a point to recruit and join parties with it as much as possible =D

It's used regularly on the server I am on, shouts are mostly now "recruiting for X, join via party finder."

My average item level is only 70, so I can't join anything.

just used it to do chimera

Yeah, a few members of my FC and I who needed Chimera used it the other day. We got a good group so it worked out pretty well!

I want to use it more, I find it really hand, but there's no default key for it, a lot of players have been using "U" for the longest time, nobody really bothers to check the menu to find it, I wish it was amalgamated some way in the duty finder VIA a tab or something.

It's like an odd mix of the WoW party finder and GW2 party method (self invites, etc) -- just needs to be more obvious, right now I find it hides too well for the general populace and its infinite laziness to bother looking for it.

I did for Hydra or Chimera, it went great.

Used it for a treasure hunt today and it was a hell of alot of fun grouping with random people for little open world events like that.

it should be used more often! I only ever see two posts max on it at once. Spread the word :D

Tried forming a party using it but after 15mins gave up and started shouting for members.

i tried using it for chimera but i didnt see chimera under any of the available choices.
i thought they(chimera/hydra) were supposed to be in df now.

Using and loving it. Even though some of the iLevel requirements are just hilarious :>

i still didn't find the button for it without keybinding on PC xD

Can someone confirm?
When you're queued up in DF, your party finder does not populate.

If this is true, then it would be nice to still be able to look at the active groups in the PT finder while just sitting there waiting in DF queue.

9/10 times I don't need to use it, we just take our BCB static everywhere. And of the other times I took LS or FC members. I tried to use it last night, but no one was on.

It's a nice feature, but more appealing to people without premade groups than anything.

Please bump my topic on this.. they need to make the Party Finder more visible to players who don't know about it:

I haven't used it yet, but I do intend to. I can easily see it's one of the more underrated additions in 2.1. I think it's fantastic and I really hope more ppl use it! :D

I love this feature, took 10-15 minutes to fill a group for CT fates every time with absolutely no effort on my part aside from the initial setup. I would be very happy if party finder becomes the norm for all things not DF. I'm also seeing a ton of coil groups on it fairly regularly.

I used it to fill some spots for spamming the new HM dungeons. Met some really great people in it as well.
