Party Finder

Personally, from the little I got to play around with it, and look at options....it's pretty damn awesome.

You can be incredibly specific on what you want in the group, and what you are looking for in a group, and for what purpose.

at first glance, it is probably one of the best Looking for Group interfaces I've seen in a MMO.

It's located in the Social drop-down menu, named "Party Finder".

only fault I have seen so far, is that you cannot invite people to a party seperately while you have a Party Finder ad set up. It seems that if you have an ad active on the Party Finder, then people have to use the Party Finder to join. otherwise, you have to cancel the ad, and then invite, and then put the ad back up. (I think).

anyroad, for the most part, the Party Finder is awesome. Learn It. Use It. Love It. Tell your friends.

You'll also get better players in your party if you zoom your camera all the way out!

there is a joke in here somewhere that I don't get...

It's from an interview or live letter. Lots of players have trouble dodging AOEs because what you see on your screen and what's actually happening on the server aren't in sync, especially if you don't have the best connection. Titan HM is the big example where it's very problematic. Players were trying to get some kind of response about it ever since beta, and when an interviewer finally asked Yoshi-P about it, he said, basically, you just have to be faster, and that he noticed a lot of players on Titan HM played with the default camera, so please zoom your camera out so you can see ground effects better. Completely dodged the issue and blamed it on the players. It's become a running joke.

2.1 included updates to endgame instances and PvP to help alleviate the problem there (but not the rest of the game), so they've made progress since that first interview.
