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

[Kiote]

101 "likes" in just over 24 hours, and not even a "hot topic" yet.

I think SE is deliberately ignoring this topic because they can't fix it for some reason. This is like the fifth one with 100 or more likes..

I'm thinking Patch 1.25..

Yea I would agree on 2 accounts.

It's much easier to keep a thread going through arguments, but when everyone agrees there really isn't much to say. Essentially, no news is good news.

The Eorzea redesign thread took forever to get a response, even after being translated into 3 other languages, 1k+ replies and 600+ likes. However, the scale of the work requested to the dev team was absolutely massive and I'm sure it wasn't a simple yes/no decision for SE. This is just one small, but very important aspect of the game.

I don't think they're ignoring this thread though. The OP is quite long, and I'm sure it would have to be translated and reviewed before a definitive response could be made. SE already stated that they are working on improving the system but I personally think it needs more than just improvement. Like the Eorzea redesign thread, the system has to be completely redesigned.

I'd be flattered if they actually copied my suggestion, though I don't really expect that to happen. But it's clear that something needs to be done. If anything, this proposal serves as a blueprint for them.

This is just perfect! Awesome job Meowy!
I hope we can get a dev response sometime soon.

Really like this, relatively simple way of seeking across classes is just what we need. The only issue I can see with that is when multiple jobs are introduced per class, would there be an option to seek on all of them? I guess it'd be necessary.

I thought about this too.

Easily solved with scroll bars. For PS3 players it would be just as easy, hitting right/left continuously in the small window of boxes would scroll the window.

edit: I notice you said jobs and not classes. This is another thing I considered but was unable to find a solution for. The main reason is because no one knows exactly how jobs will work yet.

Once we get concrete info about the job system I'm sure there's ways to make it work.

I totally agree with that!
You did a very great job, I hope SE will used a similar system.

SE will never look at this topic because they have developers that have no clue how games should run
