Video Tutorial - How To Use The Party System

[AlexiaKidd]

I just made this I hope it helps some people learn how to use the party recruit/search system. Now all we need it SE to give us a reason to use it ^^

Sorry about the editing, I think I need some practise ; ;

I think they're remaking it so its less counterintuitive.

They are, but it's not redone yet therefore it isn't counterproductive.

I never called anything counterproductive. Stop finding ways to get offended.

Said the one assuming someone got offended.

I'm sorry, but can anyone explain to me why XI's system for gathering a party is better than XIV's? I really don't see it.

The only real think XI had was an LFG flag. Which was very good and will hopefully make it's way to XIV. But 90% of the time, that didn't give you a full party. I always ended up using /sea and asking, {Party}{Do you need it?}.

XIV's recruit system makes so much more sense to me. The only problem with it is no one uses it. So someone explain to me in their own words why XI is better? I'm not being sarcastic or anything like that, I'm asking a legitimate question.

It's realistically because they originially tried to make XIV as different from XI as possible, which the new management team felt was a mistake and now reversing it. It didn't even borrow the basics and evolved, it literally treated XI like a drunken one nighter.

There has been videos like this before. However helpful they are - many people dont learn/use it as its currently rather obscure and is going to change for sure. Good luck in yerr video editing career though that vid did work pretty well.

As much as people hate on XI's UI, if they ripped out some features like /sea all and seeking that would be awesome. DO NOT bring back having to do EVERYTHING in this game based on ui, you can keep it where if i tab onto someone I can invite them, but also bring a /sea all, and invitation can go to those who have entered the same zone.

The core of XI's UI was ideal I dont know why so much was left out apart from the obvious excuses - a rushed game/ignorant devs and producer.

I liked you're comment, I felt like i was gonna get flamed just for mentioning xi's ui. It was complicated in the beginning and it was always clunky, but it left nothing to be wanted from me, as far as grouping and party structure went.

I was actually gona mention that it deffinalty had a learning curve associated with it, but a fun game to play while learning it.

After 6 months in you were pretty much set - which has not been the case with 14's version. And again brings up the question of why.. why.. why change it

I also liked the fact XI's UI/party system had hidden gems that most of the player-base wouldnt regularly use, but was cool to tell people about. (<stpc>.. /pcmd.. for examples xD)
