Party Finder Notification

[joshsecret]

When the notification addition was mentioned some time ago I was glad. However, what was implemented was a little lackluster.

Just a suggestion but is it possible [Dev Team] to actually set particular searches for notification?

For example, I am currently looking to do Turn 4. I select Party Finder, go to notifications, and a list of possible choices pop up, I then select 'Turn 4' and then whenever someone posts this run I then will be prompted in my chat log that it is available.

shameless bump because well... im shameless

Oh, wait. It doesn't work that way?

It doesn't take in to account your "Search" preferences? ....I don't think we can blame ps3 on that

I'd like it if it is able to look for certain keywords in pf comments, like "learning" parties, and then tell me that someone just made such a recruitment available.

If you specifically want a Turn 4 run, make one. The noification feature is fine as it is.

it was an example.
i find the current use for the notification a waste. why on earth do i want every 5? minutes to be told there are 10 groups whatever?
what if i wanted to be on the lookout for any x primals?
and besides, the make it yourself argument is moot.
i make plenty of PF groups, but there are times that it can be restrictive. like im in a df Q for something out of boredom but would gladly back out if a group in PF were getting a group for something i may need.

No it is not, the information provided by the notification system is useless. So I get a notification 10 groups are looking for someone, not my job, not anything I want to run, and I still have to open PF to find out what they are wanting to run or what they are looking for. How is this fine as is?

the searchable variables does seem a tad restrictive given how much different stuff SE tells us we can do in the game... *cough cough*

If I does not take our search criteria into account for the party notification then this function is useless.

It was mentioned already that doing what you suggest in the OP would cause much server stress, so they went with that simple implementation and will monitor servers to see if they can improve it at a later time.
