Digital media is stupid... bring back tape players... I LOVED rewinding back to hear a song again....
the point: different is only bad if you aren't open to change
Different isn't always better either.
It's nice that this system allows party leaders to recruit people without searching constantly. But that's the only thing it has over FFXI's search system, while it's at many disadvantages.
You can't set a comment telling people you've taken up a camp, so they can't search the area ahead of time and know not to waste their time going there. You can't search for players of all classes at once if you're looking for people with the "seek invite" up. You can't use auto-translate for the messages. It's easy to forget you have it on at all, and if the hour passes and you don't see the message then you're no longer seeking a party. It's not even remotely intuitive to have to go to "recruit" in order to seek an invite in the first place - that should be for party leaders...recruiting. You can't use it to actually search for anyone, anywhere, at all, unless they are recruiting or have "seek invite" turned on because it's just a recruitment tool. You can't even find your own LS members' ranks and location from within the game.
Excellent Idea.patch 1.19 should include a tutorial on how to use the search for party system. One you can't skip, and make it auto start from the moment you log in. So everyone who plays is aware.
Make it cute with moogles, and chocobos.
As a reward for completing the tutorial is a Chocobo or airship pass.
And seriously, I don't understand how people find this cumbersome/difficult to use. I think if you find this difficult maybe you shouldn't be playing an FF game.
If anything it makes pin pointing the exact type of party that you're looking for EASIER. I remember in ffxi /telling all the people lfg only to find out they weren't looking for a party to grind and i had just spent 20min /telling people for nothing. This takes ALL of the guess work out of finding a party or finding someone to join your party and it only takes a few second out of your play time to set up, A FEW SECONDS.
Cumbersome or not, it's in the game right now and it has basic functionality. The playerbase should at least use what's there instead of just whining "it's not gewd nuff" and ignore it completely.
That's what happens when the majority of the population is backwater(ffxi).Ya but people are pretty ignorant or too stuck up atm >.< It works ALOT better than shout and not like it's hard to understand lmao Who cares if it's crappier than FF 11's!!! Yes the dev's know by now I'm sure, but beyond that... just sticking to shouts for pt search makes you people look like retards lol...just saying ><
