Seek Party Flag + /sea all command PLEASE!

[Apollyon7]

If a "/sea all" command is added then PLEASE DO NOT show the current amount of online players like Final Fantasy XI did. Nothing was more depressing in FFXI than being able to see the current server population every time I needed to use "/sea all" and watching it get smaller and smaller as the game got older. Those sorts of details aren't relevant to players and personally I don't want to be able to know.

Ahahah well honestly.... who cares? On Asura Server the only less people i saw was bcz they kicked 21856182 RMT or just People that went on FF XIV .... FF XI is still alive believe me. Id like to see how many ppl was online, was Our World!
Peace

Problem with current seek system:
requires persons to use in order to search for them.
can only search one class at a time.

Fix:
bring back FFXI's search command using /sea

I loved the Search function in FFXI and although it could have been a adjusted a little it worked very well. Why FFXIV didn't come with any search command out of the box is beyond comprehension. Its mostly like the dev team for FFXIV had never played another FF game and had no idea what one looked like.

I too would like a to see a /SEA <target> command. Very effective in finding lost things.

The full party search window helped to show everyone in the area and any one who had a party seak flag. Made asking them to join very easy. Of course there was always some one who ignored the flags and asked every one win a certain level and class if they wanted to join. Those players were irritatingly ignorant annoyances. There's a reason why There's a a flag! Use it and stop annoying every one else!!

Yes, please! A /sea command and simpler party search should be a big priority. It negatively effects party play which in turn has caused people to quit the game.

/sea all "class"
/sea all "levels"
We really need a simple one click party flag also.

I think a big problem is that the people making a party have to put up a flag to get people to join them. People looking for a party have to go through the menu to see if anyone is looking for their particular class. It needs to be the other way around.

Someone who is making a party needs to be able to search for those that are seeking a party. It's so much simpler and much much faster that way. /sea all commands are also necessary so people can search and ask those that aren't seeking at the time. In FFXI we did this all the time to find a specific type of class we were missing. If we had a healer, DPS, but no tank we could just ask people to join us and typically we'd find someone.

Anything is almost certainly better then the current party match system. Easy way to shun off incoming users is making them feel worthless.

seeing all the changes happening, it's going to die out just as fast if this isn't improved upon.

Agreed XI had an incredibly easy party search tool that worked. The one in this game feels like you need to be a rocket scientist to use, and when you do Seek Invite or Recuit...noone else is using it. Implement a GOOD LFG tool that will get people partying again. While it's great to solo...kinda getting boring now, and it blows to /shout invite requests all the time. Got a good start with 1.18...let's get some of the other stuff looked at now.

Shouting has a much use as the current party match system, due to the problem of job pre-reqs. Finding someone and then finding someone in one of the holy trinity is harder then it needs to be.

It's so obviously easy to get decent, considering FF11 and every other modern MMO has converged on the LFP system...why can't FF14?

[Deatheye]

Agreed. System either is still useless or I didn't really get it... either way something is off.

If a "/sea all" command is added then PLEASE DO NOT show the current amount of online players like Final Fantasy XI did.

I understand that some poeple don't like to know this. But I for example would like to have the ability to check for the amount of online people. I don't need it integrated into /sea. I even would prefer it to be another command. Makes no use to see those number everytime I search for PT members.
