face_hindu Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 So you can group with the one other person on your server who knows about and uses the feature I strongly believe that this system would work if people used it. I notice there is sometimes a blurb about it in one of the loading screens. What more can BW do to encourage people to actually use it? Would it be such a bad idea if you couldn't physically get into a group phase unless you were tagged? I think the game should force persuade you to tag yourself LFG if you have any intention of joining a group. Cake is a lie; there is only pie.

Propanelgen Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 There's a lot of players using it on my server, and it seems to be working well. Haven't had any problems on any of my alts getting the Heroics and Flashpoints done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisShadowX Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) People just want the game to be EZ Mode we shouldn't even have this! Seeing people spamming in General just brings the community together! Plus it lets other Elitist Snob DKP Guilds like mine down these people who spam General so its a double win!

Haven't had any problems on any of my alts getting the Heroics and Flashpoints done. Maybe it hasn't caught on yet on mine. Much more often than not, I am the only one who is tagged out of 60-120 people. Cake is a lie; there is only pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Rabbit Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) A world where people use the tools given to them in the proper way so they have no reason to come over the forums and whine about the lack of a feature that is already in game?

themacr Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I always flag myself as LFG as a healer. And then watch and lauch when I see the /1 spam of people looking for healers...... It realy is a nice tool but as it seems right now, it's being used less and less on my server. Sunday there where a grand total of 10 people flagged for LFG @ 4PM.

Cake is a lie; there is only pie. you mean on the fleet? you can actually search the whole server... usually when I do that I find 5-10 people on the whole server who are tagged lfg.... but they all spam the fleet to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I tried to get people in beta to use it (remember when npcs would appear to be lfg? hehe) but it never caught on and I had to give up using it myself It feels perfectly natural for me to look for a group this way, since that was always how we did it back when I used to play CoH but I don't know why so many swtor players won't use it.

Recently, I spent about 5 minutes replying to everyone who LFG'd in General: "You should tag yourself LFG", and got /ignored by a few people, so I gave up. I still think BW could do a lot more to educate players about the LFG tool. Cake is a lie; there is only pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scopian Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This will come in handy for the six or seven people in my level/FP range on my server who all want to play this game like KOTOR 3 and not do group content of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't deserve this kind of response. Cake is a lie; there is only pie. If it's a language problem why post on the english boards? there are other language supported boards are there not? But back on topic: Most people don't utilize the tool given. On avg on my srver/faction there will be 1-5 poeple with it on, with as many(different) people asking for exactly that class/spec in general. Since the start of EAccess I've pretty much had mine on tailored to whatever content I was aiming for. In that time I've received 2 TWO PM's in ragards to it. 1 was someone asking if it was actually working for me, the other was from an EV raid who were spot filling.

grania Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sorry, I misread you, apologies. Cake is a lie; there is only pie. It happens, no problem. If people would use it, I think it would work. I suggested a few months ago that Bioware put more emphasis on the feature, even make it one of the specific things we were supposed to test more vigorously, but eh, I'm just one voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to always quote that either way I don't see how the player number online right now has any bearing in whether or not people should put themselves up for LFG or not... *scratches head* Edited January 23, 2012 by amnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
