[DEV????] Proposed Search and Seek Invite interface (PICS)

[Kiote]

Reading the OP again I finally found something I can disagree with..
You say this need to be ONE of their top priorities. But IMHO this is literally the #1 Most devastating issue with this game.

Many systems need to be rebuilt or re-visioned but this game was Built from the ground up to support a massive amount of community interaction. It can not survive without some simple and highly functional mechanism to find people for everything. We need to find people for buying, selling, raids, repairs, quests, linkshells, leves and NMs. Just about everything in this game is more fun with more people. If we really want this game to take off there must be a way to do this and to do it fast. Finding a player for any given activity should be as simple as finding an item in the Markets should be.

Every other addition to this game will continue to be under utilized until we have an effective mechanism for finding players to interact with.

they don't take the English forums and American players seriously, someone should translate this into Japanese and post it there.

I was going to translate but I think I got myself into a problem last time doing another posts translation so I'm keeping away from translating stuff onto the JP side for stuff like this one.

I think OP's idea is really good and pretty sure Bay and them already looked into this one so pretty sure the message got sent in to the devs, we just have to wait for the response. they have to somehow catch YoshiP while he's running around the office doing conferences.

yup XIV has been screaming out for a simplified seek party/search for party set-up and your looks great simple and easy to use



Great Job but I'm hoping but not holding my breath over it being anywhere near 1.19.....

I have a strong feeling that the only response they have atm would be "...we are looking into it.", which would really set peeps off.
However, I have another strong feeling that their reason for not currently working on the Party Seek issue is largely because they are working furiously to add content that you need to seek a party for.

They have prioritized other issues for the UI Team thus far, but I suspect this issue will show up in Yoshi's next Diagram of Doom & Delight.

this is obviously a popular subject yet still no official response.

any of the community reps have anything to offer?

dont wanna sound pushy :P

YoshiP posted today that he can start talking about the server stuff after 1.19 is released so we might get more info on UI and stuff like this one soon
