rooTheDay Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have the dubious distinction of being the lowest level character in my guild -- mostly because the queues for the guild server are so long that I often play on another. So, I'm wanting to do some of the team things -- join groups for heroic missions, flashpoints, etc. The question is, how do you connect with people to do that? Assuming a guild member who is 30 levels higher than me isn't going to help, are there better options than a general broadcast message ("Hey, who wants to do missionX now?"). How do you all find help for that from people who are actually on when you are? thanks. --roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reillan Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'll usually post a message in general chat. While waiting for that, I'll hang out near where the mission is and see if I see anyone else shows up and then send them a tell. Or, if I'm questing and see someone else is killing the same targets I am, I'll send a tell and ask if they'd like to work together. At lvl 50, I also occasionally get people sending me tells directly asking me if I'd like to join for a flashpoint, etc. This is probably only the case because of the small number of players at 50, but...

Amdramnar Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 There are other people waiting to do that same quest. Either throw out a LFM (looking for more because you are starting a group) or throw out a LFG (looking for group because you want to join another group). In the same vein, look for other requesting help. Great way to meet people outside the guild as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooTheDay Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks! I was just thinking that there may have been another way. General messages go by pretty fast on busy days. But, if that's what there is ... then that's what there is. thanks --roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aieny Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Don't forget to flag yourself as looking for group. That'll show an icon in the who list and next to your name that you are interested in grouping. If enough people learn to use this tool, it may help making groups easier to form.

The simplest way to get help, at least in my guild, is to simply say , "Hey I need help with X, can anyone assist me real quick?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompsons Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Fairness: I routinely offer to help other people with their missions if they will help me with mine. Even if I've already played the mission they want done, you still get points -- which, in your case, helps with leveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
