Player Search

[Delmontyb]

* In patch 1.20, online statuses will only be displayed on the player search screen, but as of FINAL FANTASY XIV version 2.0, online statuses will also be displayed in players’ display names.

I'm excited for the search function, and as I quoted above I'm glad this is planned, however, it would be nice that if a player is seeking a party that green icon would show up above their head. I always enjoyed that and it made pick up groups much faster.

Just the ideas of running a leve and seeing someone else running a leve with a seeking party flag set, with how I play, would have me form a party with that player, rather then leave them alone as I don't want to "bother" them.

Looking forward to the updates

Yeah its not bad, but its still imo very clunky, so many menus and options, all good but requires you to fill in 40 different options before you can seek. XI was just Menu > Seek and bam ur good to go lol.

Yeah, but most ppl are crafting while seeking a party so they cant just put up a party flag. I don't think anyone wants a lvl 50 Carpenter in their exp party lol.

Yes they do! Wrist flick ftw!

lol but i guess you are all right, if its just Party > Set online > Accept i be fine with it. Just seems like a lot of options, especially to search too, XI was but at least you had text commends, here you dont so you have to fill out the form to get results.

Have to see if people use it this time.

Another thing I hope to see in the future is the ability to set multiple preferred jobs, unless they are going to let you do that already and i missed it. It'd be nice to show ppl I want to lvl CNJ lvl41, PUG lvl31, or THM lvl 20, not just CNJ lvl41. I could just put that in the comments, but then ppl wouldn't be able to see it unless they clicked on my name.

* By default, only players within five levels of your current class level in a given area will be included in the search.

So the lvl20ish ppl looking for a THM won't even be able to see me on default settings.

I really don't care what class I am, I just wanna lvl .

That system looks awesome! The only other thing i could ask for is a way to seek party on my 38 GLD while I'm mining on my 25 MNR or crafting. So I could do something productive while waiting for an invite.

You can actually, it lets you set your preferred job to whatever you want, so you can be a miner and be looking for a party as a gladiator.

This is a Massive Step in the right direction. There is only one thing that stands out as missing.

We Need to be able to seek on multiple classes.

The #1 reason why people waited up over Six hours for a party in XI is because they had to pick one class and stick with it to seek. This very serious issue can be resolved by simply allowing us to pick and choose which classes we want to seek on simultaneously.

Is the search range is the player all class or current active class? It is pretty useless if current active class only.

Oh, color my life complete then! I read that but didn't quite understand if it was for seeking or searching. Thx
