funkykafka Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Does anyone know if this will be available at some point in the future? What I mean is, like in Rift you had a Looking For Group menu, you could check what class you were were & click join to queue up for Dungeons, Rifts, & Quests. Even if you're in a Guild, it can take a long time to find 3 more for a flashpoint, and then you might have an even longer wait for a dedicated healer. It's not a huge issue, but I was wondering if anyone had any info about it.

tehnewrb Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 They intentionally left a LFG (queue) out of the game especially anything cross servers. They wanted people to communicate with eachother and blah blah blah . I think they should at least have a global LFG service across all planets. It doesn't have to be an automated queue just something so you don't have to be sitting in your capital area waiting to find a group... and for crying out loud add a "pickup shuttle" so you don't actually have to run to the FP.
supafreak Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Looking for groups manually helps build ocmmunity. people hang around, take time to look at peoples names, who they like and dont like. you can chat in the meantime, be social basically. Instead of staying on your ship clicking a button and warping to a flashpoint with god knows who, faceless vanguard tank, some kinda healer and a dpser. I like the way it is now, just open up the community tab, click LFG and add a comment its really very simple more people should be aware of it
supafreak Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Check my sig below. is that from the test server?

UCKFred Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Nearest thing we have to an LFG mechanism is typing LFG into the Who search field. What sucks with that is that sometimes it resets a persons LFG comments when changing zones. Check my sig below. They should hire you ASAP.
funkykafka Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Check my sig below. Where can I find this option? I just looked but couldn't find it. Is this from the test server?
Social_derelict Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Ok so how is it that I am anymore forced to communicate with the folks in a FP with me whether I get the group via queue or in general chat? Is it because I had to say I'll DPS? Wow way to get me to socialize....

My guild has over 1,000 members, but given time management because of work, family, etc., alts, time zone differences and such, it's not always a given that you will get 4 w/ a dedicated healer in your guild to do a flashpoint when you pickup that flashpoint. It would just be nice to have the option if you couldn't find people in your guild to do the flashpoint, and you only had a few hours of game time available. Not everyone can play this game for hours on end.
