Stifor Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Join a guild? Play with friends? Use your companions at a higher level? Go on a higher populated server? While you are questing look for others who want to get the flashpoint done? I Have not had any problems waiting to find a group for flashpoints. While a enhancing the LFG feature should be done. An automatic group finder instant transport to the said flashpoint SHOULD NOT be implemented. Why not?There are all ready instant ports to the fleet,why is allowing people who choose to be put in a group first so bad? O whats that?It isn't?You just want to control how other people play? Again why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadysketchy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Your made an assumptions troll on them, then you ignored their correction of you. It seems pretty obvious you have some sort of prejudice. What exactly does "made an assumptions troll" mean? And no, they never corrected me, they just tried to back out, by giving the old "I did X Y Z in MMOs A B C"; but it was too late, as I had already seen that they didn't have high-end experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeelol Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I absolutely agree with the need of a LFG tool! I'm in imperial fleet browsing vendor and spamming general chat for hammer station. Boring. Yep. It doesn't get more boring than this. And lol @ forming communities and getting reputation from low-level flashpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fornix Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 That's the most backwards logic I've ever seen Sure, some people sit in the City, waiting for the queue with LFD; but at least they don't have to Without LFD, you are literally forced to sit in a City, because it's the only zone you have a chance in hell of anyone actually reading your LFG Message To you and the others who quoted me, my sarcasm apparently wasn't obvious enough . As I strongly oopose to not having the LFD tool and believe it's one of BioWare's worst decisions since all it does is let us sit in town to spam LFG whilst interaction within the dun is as much as it is through a dun finder.

crimsonhart Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) I never thought a modern day mainstream high budget MMO would use FFXI's archaic LFG system which even Square-Enix is moving away from, but I was wrong. lol This is exactly the same as FFXI's lfg system. Flagging lfg, putting a comment, and then running the search feature and spamming not only the general chat, but also spamming people to see if they want to heal or tank. Bioware needs to at least implement a global LFG channel. Edited December 24, 2011 by crimsonhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O whats that?It isn't?You just want to control how other people play? Again why not? You have to do a bit of traveling still though. Its not fun being able to log in run a bunch of flashpoints without having to even move your toon, get your gear and then log out. You can get groups while questing so easily. Its early in the launch still, lots want to run flashpoints. Improving how to find a group would be nice yes, but lets not make it easy mode.

Lalluna Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 It's this way because having a dungeon finder tool would keep people sitting in cities. Not having one would make people play the game, interact and whatever more. Been croed about for years, BioWare listened. Of course anyone who plays MMO's could have predicted lfg spam with still no interaction... That's the most backwards logic I've ever seen Sure, some people sit in the City, waiting for the queue with LFD; but at least they don't have to Without LFD, you are literally forced to sit in a City, because it's the only zone you have a chance in hell of anyone actually reading your LFG Message This. People are already forced to sit at the factions space station to find a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehspookeh Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Improving how to find a group would be nice yes, but lets not make it easy mode. Easy mode? What? How does finding a group easily have ANY impact on how the game is played? Should Battlefield go back to connecting to IP's by hand and removing the server browser because it builds a community? It's a form of convenience. While you don't mind waiting and spamming general chat. Most normal folk would rather just play the game. For example: There is one person, in general at the moment, who has for the last 25 minutes been looking for a healer. That's 25 minutes. Think about that for a second. That's almost half an hour of sitting about doing nothing. The server I'm on regularly has queues upwards of 30 minutes at peak time and this is the Christmas holiday period. I can't wait till in 3 months people try to roll alts. The lower level flashpoints will become deserted.

Lalluna Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 the flag isnt useless...people just dont use it.. I attempt to use it. It is indeed useless. Been marking myself with "Directive 7" for the past few days and sitting at the Republic Fleet for a little bit after I finish my dailies. Im also calling out in general every once in a while for a group. The system, currently, is useless. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu_Bei Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 All the worlds have linkups to Fleet Station directly to the FP you're trying to get to. You can quest while LFGing for people in the same level range, then just hop on the shuttle. You don't have to sit in a city. I don't understand that.

AlpsStranger Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Improving how to find a group would be nice yes, but lets not make it easy mode. Easy mode? So finding a group is part of the challenge now? Listen up you crusty old turds because I'm only going to say this once: It isn't 1999 anymore you adult-diaper wearing geriatrics. Maybe that **** flies in the MMO nursing home, but the genre has moved on. We also aren't bringing back corpse runs, selling loot in the Ro Tunnel, or spamming chat for a bind and SoW from some Wood Elf Druid. It was **** then. It's **** now. In short, I want some kind of group finding tool. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakow Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 A lot of people are going to yell at you, that you're bad at socializing, and that spamming "LF X class for Y" is building a community But they are wrong; an LFG Tool is one of the most crucially missing things from this game People compained so much in beta. Don't be like WoW. A game that has made billions of dollars. Do not be like them..???...?? So far Swotor is just like them before LFG. Sit in city lvl 25 dps lfg Mando Then get invited and then booted because they have 2-3 BH's already. Rinse repeat. Yeah you can sit and start whispering over and over, though that gets boring fast after the 10th no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate this point of view. It isn't fun to log in and play the game content? It is more fun to stand around spamming chat please please help me run X. Different story if you are heal or tank. Though dps thanks to a bunch of people like you who screamed make your choices matter, can't do a thing forever. I like to tank and I like to heal, but every toon I make shouldn't have to tank and heal to be able to do flash points in a timely manner. I like to be able to group with people in my MMO, instead of getting boots over and over because of the fact they don't want to double class in one group.

OrionBurger Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 But sitting around fleet spamming lfg/lfm will give you so much quality time to enjoy the magnificent community that has been created by not having a lfd tool. Apparently. I think a lot of people are against this idea simply because it was used in WoW, and WoW's pug community was much like a horde of screaming monkeys flinging poo at you. The thing is, it was like that before the lfd was implemented.. Just put lfd in already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgewall Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Has anyone considered that the reason they can't find a group for a given instance via spamming chat about it is because there's no one else (or not enough people) looking to run that instance? A LFG tool wouldn't exactly fix that. I've got numerous tells from people, even off-Fleet, who use the /who command in conjunction with level-specific planets to ask if I want to heal for X. Then I tell them I'm Gunnery spec and they cry into their oatmeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa-kin Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Fine just put in the LFG tool Cross server, me I wont be using it, you will still see me using the /who list and LFG in chat. I won't be grouped with people from other servers who I've never seen or probably won't see again. Right now the community is ace in the game, recogizing people from the server all over, knowing who's a douchebag and not. I say put it in to make the whiners happy, I for one won't use it. At least people will SU about this then, but as all other things they will find something else to whine about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzrknight Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Press o. Type '[number corresponding to the level you want]'. Look for Sith Sorcerers and Imperial agents. Right click their names, ask them if they want to heal. Rinse and repeat. It'll take 10 minutes tops to form a group. I do agree that the LFG flag is useless. Yeah it is quite easy to find sith players in the REPUBLIC FLEET ... people dont read they just speak. Anyway OP , rool sith , republic is much less populated and becomes harder to find groups for PvE content , this is the only reason i actually play empire lols.

The only thing we really do need is a LFG channel that is universal to ALL worlds and is introduced to you at lvl 10 or whenever you enter republic fleet for the 1st time.!!! noobs now just get ignore on my list and i never bother doing instances with them again!
