Seek Party Flag + /sea all command PLEASE!

[Apollyon7]

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. ;_;

Yeah was so fun get some random invte for missions or just exp... missin those lol

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.

So true.

Yes pleaseeee. Add the /sea command and party flags please! I think this is really holding the game back from being a very social experience like FFXI was. As it is now, I feel like it's easier to just go solo monsters than try to shout in towns trying to find an XP party.

WHY ARENT THERE ANY UPDATES ON THIS!????? WHYYYYY!???

I'm constantly reading patch notes and letters from the producer, and not a word on this...why.....why.....why.....

I came from 11 and every time I start 14 i often do /sea all linkshell and /sea all as a habit. 11 did it so well, stop ignoring everything that was well done in 11 just to seem unique and make everything difficult to the user.

Maybe going a different direction with this, but here is my take on the seeking party system from launch till now. What I mean is this is not the first game they have developed and they know it's critical for, oh my a MMO to allow you to, I don't know easily play with others.

I fear SE did not put the easy, usable search party function in because of the lack of content and severe nerfdom of leveling in this game. Remember your first job to level 25, without the sub job (whatever level we got it at in ffxi.) Personally it took me forever to get a rdm/whm to level 30. It was my first ff and mmo. The point was it was a challenge. No daily exp leves, free gil from everything. You had to beat stuff up just to make your way through ffxi, and yes you would fail (not the go back to the aetheryte and try again wink wink, fail. The, lord, I did not set my home point and we don't have raise I might as well quit this party because everyone thinks I am a noob now FAIL.) In failing you, and later the parties learned what works and what doesn't. That being the back drop for where we are now. I digress.

Imagine IF they put the code (I'm sure they saved the one from ffxi) for an easy LFG at launch, heck even now? Zoom zoom party grind damn 1 level fifty down in 4 days, bam zip another, pow zam,boom,, ooops I leveled every job in a matter of 2 months with great awesome parties. Now let's ummmmm ummmm ...... ummmmm.... craft till they raise the level cap in another year and a half??? Look at forum posters from all over, 5 level 50's everywhere, WITHOUT a functioning LFG.

So yes I agree it needs to be in there, truly it does!!!! However, maybe instead of making everything look really fancy first, they could have created some content over a five year dev span; player progression, role development, party involvement (with the ability to find one included absolutely free), then nice looking trees.

My guess, it being square and everything, is that they did just that, it's all in the works and everything is going to work out perfectly and this is all part of the game somehow building up to the seventh umbral era, they did make ffvii after all. Till then I am going fishing. Please say this year has been a dream SE!

please...... i can hear the moogles crying in the background.... don't let the moogles down.....

[Dagnir]

yes please add this soon!

Honestly lundakh that's what I believe they did. They just made it so we cant easily pt with each other. Another things is the party spots. Have you partied recently? What the hell is up with the camp sites they're retarded. Mobs are either too far apart or repops so slow. I just joined the game recently because I was waiting for the game to improve but I still see no improvement. Where ever it is it's pretty slow. I know that I touched on different subjects but since you brought up the obvious reason of why they might have not put a user friendly search party function. End rant.

Hang in there evlmica!!!!!!! It will get awesome, I swear. I left that little glimmer of hope that possibly this was all a set up for the real big thing coming down the pipe line

As for parties, nope haven't been in one. I said well, if it is a set up for the umbral era thing, then I will look at eorzea like this. It is a peaceful time, what would an adventurer be doing. That's right not adventuring. Working in the coal mines, out chopping a forest, or best yet gone fishing

As for improvement to parties that we can be hopeful for: Grand companies!!!! I think this might take away from that feeling of pull kill wait normal camping gets to be. Rest assured this game will rock. The cut scenes and storyline cant be this good without some awesome fighting to boot. Ok i am out for now, gonna catch a big one. peace
