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

[Avraym]

Still no dev response?

Great idea! Solid gold, If they implement your version they better pay you royalties for every party found! lol Just brilliant.

They could add a "(c) MeowieWowie, dude" in fine print at the bottom of the search window.

I can't believe SE can't hire one specific person to handle and respond to all these forum posts. I bet even if they respond with irrelevant information, a lot of people will be more calm. It would show that they care.

16 pages and almost 300 likes and no dev responses ... *sigh* ... this is perfect imo and mixes the old system with new (So can continue to seek for specific classes and other nice features of the current system while giving the people an easy seek invite)... hopefully devs respond soon to this thread xD

I just came in to post what probably has been said a hundred times:
The shoops look amazingly good. And the proposal looks efficient.

Seriously, if it didn't say "proposed" in the topic I would've exploded with excitement over this "update" thinking it was official. And it should be.

Dang it Square, I hope search is priority come pass the next patch, not all of us come in here with friends, we gotta find the people for the content. Some of us are even suffering other games, because friends are there.

TL;DR: Shoop is amazing, proposal shatters current system, listen to this man.

What are they going to say?

Our server architecture was programmed by a 3 year old and its too inferior to support this at this time? That's about the long and the short of it isn't it?

Even with the junk server architecture, I am not sure why they couldn't bring another server (hell make it a VM-we'll call it playersearchserver) to just manage players on a world. It's a band aid fix, but pushing player name, location, job out to playersearchserver every minute or so doesn't seem like an insurmountable task.

My guess is they don't want to pour money into the adhoc solution I suggest above because it doesn't resolve the overarching issue of junk server architecture that must be addressed anyway at some point before this game goes on ps3.

My other guess is they don't care about the current player population, so this is not a priority.

Dear Devs, just release the source code for this game and let us fix it in 1 weekend.

I think this is a brilliant idea.

Your seek party interface is golden, I'd like to remind SE, you're hiring! What better addition to the development team than an actual player with a sophisticated eye for UI design?

Get on it.
