The new seek invite function

[CoolBlitz]

i think its more complicated than it needs to be, even tho its not complicated at all. There should just be 1 button, in your menu that does Seek invite (oh yes like XI lol).

and maybe have a icon for it for aesthetics (oh yes like XI)

Vi, I agree with you there. Can we just have 1 button seek invite something similar to FFXI plz?

You would think something that trivial would have been implemented WITH THE START of the game...oh wait this is SE we're talking about. now as most people know 11 was released in japan a year before it launched in America we did not have to go thru all this, but SE come on guys and gals there are so many things we love about 11 that would have made this game that much better if they had been in from the start everyone is saying it when are you going to listen. No I'm not asking for a copy and paste of 11 to 14 then the game wouldn't be 14, but SE had alot of good stuff that made 11 different from every other MMO. We dont have to go over it, SE know's what those features are so, where are they?

If they can't improve it, they should probably offer a small incentive to use it. This game is quickly becoming more anti-social than WoW...

Been saying this since launch xD Most the people I stayed and played with were people I ran into during beta... People are so anti social they never even say thanks or even LS recruit in shout... even after 1.18 with the increase to population >.< "Cricket" people and their "bubbles" I tell you xD

one button and you can put a comment saying what you want a party for.. done

infact just copy-paste the party recruitment system from XI

Would be easiest if you could use the Recruit to find seeking players. There should be 3 things:

1)A PT Recruit post, describing PT info like level range, what its purpose is, and all that in a comment box. Also a category to sort them like raid, exp, leves, whatever.

2)A seeking PT list of players searching for a type of PT. You should be able to post yourself up on some type of list under categories for seeking what you want to do.

3)Some type of class organization thing, so you can view lists based on what you want to see, not what job you are looking as. For instance if I have THM at 50, and CON at 25, I don't want to not be able to see the CON PTs just because I am on my 50 THM or looking through 50 THM stuff.

All of those things exist in the current party search system.

I'm not going to go over how the Recruitment feature works normally but will go over the new functionality.

For the Person Seeking Party.

1. Go to Party > Recruit> and set purpose to "Seek invite"
2. In the comment box, say what you want to do and other misc. information.
3. Click on the confirm button or whatever.
4. What this does is add you to a list similar to FFXI, except its worldwide instead of region locked.

For the Leader looking for members.

1. Go to Party>Search> and set purpose to "Seek invite".
2. Most important step, Go down to the class (it defaults on gladiator) and put it to the class you want to recruit. Set it to gladiator if you want a gladiator, Marauder if you want marauders.
3. Press Search.
4. The results will show all players of that specific class who are seeking invites.
5. If you manage to find anyone using the system, i'm jealous

With the Seek Invite functionality, Party Leaders can now put up a regular recruitment as a revenue for players to join and also head hunt while he's doing it. The seeker can seek invite and also search for open party recruitment.

Here are my list of features and changes that would improve the system.

• Visual Seek Invite flag that appears next to the name of the seeker, similar to FFXI.
• A new visual hud element that shows how many party leaders have open recruits. The number displayed could be either how many total are searching or how many that you can join specfically
• Allow Party leaders to select "no class" or "all classes" to show all avialiable seekers, not limiting the list to a specific class.

Visuals communicate. The only reason why the system doesn't get results now is because people ignore and disregard it, believe that other people ignore and disregard it, are confused about the functionality, and do not believe it actually functions. Visuals would make people aware of it, and the biggest thing the system needs. I hope that the suggestions I have made as a person who consistently tries to use the current system are reachable under the current development circumstances.

Not that simple since it's about 20 steps more then an already established FF11 method. Kinda like MWs to the efficiency of AH.

You can't directly invite them (because the invite system is also crippled) you can't communicate, and you can't cross reference. (if they picked U'ath and you picked none, nothing shows up)

Worse of all, you can't even distinguish features due to the broken(aka nonexistant) /sea system.

I guess I didn't understand it. Thanks for explaining this does help.

It does not hurt to use this, so please continue to try to use it, even if it feels futile (because most of the time it is). But have good faith in knowing it isn't futile because of youu~~~. Remember that you can check for party leader recruits while you are seeking, and spread the word on your server.
