Search system

[Godryc]

If Rallying is something that lots of players already do then V2.0 should have an option for a party leader to disband his party with this in mind.

List it as "Disband and Rally" or something and have it so all party members can just click an icon when they're done and they'll be added back to the party.

Its not a deal breaker but it would be a very nice ease of use feature to have.

I wish I could just do

Search -> Quest -> [quest name] -> looking for members .

Once 'a few' people have the same quest you get a message telling you that you're not the only one, or you get an auto invite. lol

Of course it would need more parameters like lvl range or jobs (and more than one quest slot!!), but I always dreamed about something like this since XI.

Why do I have to shout for hours in Ul'dah? That's NOT fun! Even the current search function is better than that.

I hate to say this, but the current community is stu... not smart. No, really.
No offence.

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You don't use it, because you think nobody else will, too. Of course it's never going to work, if you keep this mindset.

I really hope, that SE puts waaaay more effort into tutorial quests (not just one) that teach you from the very beginning. At lvl 50 people are waaaay too stubborn to learn something new.

I think Warhammer Online did this right by forcing you into an 'LS' at a certain point of the game, so you know what it is like. Maybe SE can do something similar with party search? This is an MMO after all.

I so can't wait for Content Finder~
I'd rather party with 'random strangers' than shout for more than 2 minutes in Ul'dah.
I have enough from that from XI to last the next three MMOs. lol

i agree, shouting to form parties is a little archaic. I think it should still be an option, but for random partying content finder will be much more efficient. you won't have to worry about asking someone if they have the appropriate jobs etc.

And of course we'll always have the option to party with our close friends and LS mates, so really, I can't wait for the content finder.

I'm telling any new player asking about leveling to first use search, then shout. New players tend to use those systems more often, while the old players seem to stick to shouting even though there are people seeking in that range.

JP side also got another update on this one today they forgot to mention one more category for Artifact AF so that will also be in 1.22c update along with all the other categories mentioned already. ^^

You're correct!

There will also be an objective for AF quests in the party member search. ^_^

Will we ever be able to search by name?

Will we ever be able to search by name?

Yes please, something simple like just the name. Got already all kind of search except once again, the most basic, simple and imo useful one. Don't tell me the UI can't handle it until 2.0, if it can handle all dungeons, jobs and zones and whatnot, why can't we still not search by name?

Just out of curiosity: What's the point in searching for (character) names?

If it would display the location of the player in question or all his/her class levels then sure, I could see that come in handy. But that might be a pretty hard thing to add. And if it just displays the name and current class or something... then it seems rather useless to me.

We can give parties names? ^^

We are talking about the new functions in the party search menu, aren't we?
