I looked around a bit and did not find much on this (granted I only looked for 5 minutes). But aside from an actual thread with suggestions there was none that I could find.
As it is now, players can open their contacts menu and then “activate” LFG. Which is basically just displaying an Icon above the characters head.
While this works nicely in theory, it does not serve it’s purpose in the game.
As players we need to be able to find other group members or players much easier.
I’ve been thinking on ways to improve the current system, and to be honest it’s the basic features we see in most mmo’s a LFG list.
- Add a list of available parties that anyone can join (or apply to join)
The party leader can set a few parameters such as which dungeon they want to do, whether the party is open to the public or not (if yes the party will be displayed in the LFG list).
- Add a list of available players who are looking for a group. Same parameters apply here (turn “allow invites” on or off and dungeon/purpose of group)
- Separate LFG chat channel
We should be able to filter the list based on dungeon type (so for instance If I am looking for a group that is doing Arah Explorable I can find one, but If I am looking for a group that is doing AC on Story mode I will also be able to find that via a filter function). And of course there should be a clear distinction between looking for a group or looking for players to add to your already existing group.
