Seek Party Flag + /sea all command PLEASE!

[Apollyon7]

Yeah please just an answer from DEv.. Please ; ;

[Nataku]

just read the letter from producer. no mention of search function update AT ALL???? WTF i give up with this game.

[Jinko]

Agree with this, we definately need a LFP icon (shouldn't take much to add one) I would rather see something better than the /sea command though.

The current Party search would work if they updated it to work so you could search criteria much in the same way the /sea command worked though.

Seriously, it's very boring playing this game without any conventional ways to interact with other players fast and simple. MMRPG without easy access to good in-game communications is a boring game.
And that's what keeps me out of this game whenever I try to play it but log off after a few mins of idling in the game doing nothing but solo; solo is boring in a MMRPG!!

Why have they been overlooking this problem?! It is such an essence that must have to keep any MMRPG alive!

[Zeigrin]

funny part people post on the dumbest request but when it come to stuff like this you see only 3-4 people takling about it -.-

i hope the dev read this and understand we need this even if other don't care.

this is so true it hurts.

Just thought I'd chime in another agreement for the huge need for this.

There were several things in FFXI that didn't work as well as they could have. But, you really didn't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater, ya know?

The current system could be useful in its own right. But, without a quick system similar to what FFXI had, the current system just isn't enough on its own.

Just the fact that inviting someone requires that we have to find each other (or now be in the same LS I guess?) -- really?!

/sea all [search term] {Yes please}

We discussed all of the latest opinions with Yoshida. While it won’t make it in time for the implementation of the raid dungeons that the development team is working on currently, we’re planning on implementing enhanced LFG (looking for group) and automated party creation features.

Also, while it won't be an easy task, we are also checking into the discussions for a cross-World instant party creation system.

Please continue to leave feedback so that your time and experiences while tackling dungeon-related content in the future can be enjoyable!

But it's from April 20 -- 6 months ago.

Since the last update added a small (still unused) function for parties, the following was also posted by Bayohne:

For those of you asking for a brief tutorial on the new "Seek Invite" system we updated the Lodestone with just that. We are taking all the feedback we've seen thus far, which is a lot as I'm sure you're all keenly aware, and will be discussing it with the dev. team.

In the future, we do plan to make it a more streamlined experience when seeking a party, similar to the party search systems of other MMOs.

In my opinion, devs should put a hold on the less fundamental, though very cool, aspects that have been mentioned to get the party invite system fixed. I can live a little longer without chocobos. I can't play a game where I can't group easily with others.

Otherwise, here's what very well may happen:
People who have heard that big changes have started happening will read the notes for patch 1.19 when it's released. After reading the long list of the awesome stuff, including good changes to the fundamentals of the game, they will miss the fact that the party system still isn't fixed. Then, they'll update and log in.

They will realize they still can't make a party. Many will leave the game again, this time, I'm afraid, for good.

We don't need an awesome cross-server raid/dungeon grouping system to begin with. We may not need it at all. Please give us a basic real party grouping system, then see what we want as far as enhancements.

/end wall-o-text (Sorry)

Totally agree with the above post.

I don't see the point in adding more raid content without a decent way to find a party.

Sure its nice to raid with your LS but some of us don't have the schedule or time to wait around for these things to happen, some days I just wana jump on and find a random group and go do a dungeon.

Please don't make this game like FF11 where you were expected to wait hours just to find a suitable party.

I agree that we don't need a cross server grouping system but a closed server grouping system would be amazing.

Your're so right

[Inos]

Yup yup - hear hear. I agree 100% with this entire thread.

How ARE people partying right now anyways? Is this happening at all? The world of Eorzea is so silent between users. I never hear shouts or see people talking or anything. Is there a linkshell that people meet up in and party through? I'm on Karnak and I'm a lonely adventurer. ;_;

[Nataku]

yes why the hell is a better party search not the top thing to do right now? people are dropping like flies because they cant group with others.
