whotookmynamee Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Yea the global lfg global channel would help, also having it so the whole lfg message could be read would be nice too. But what this game really needs is dungeon finder, end of story. I think all these "community people" should find some place to RP as nerf herders.

pocketthesaurus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I agree. I have yet to find any dungeons in this game. Please add a dungeon finder so I can find dungeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosedog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Any kind of LFG system would be better that the garbage in place now. Spamming general at the fleet is awful and no one uses the horrible ui flag yourself option. A simple world wide LFG channel would be a vast improvement.

Filopio Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I didn't read all of these, so maybe it was said. The one thing the LFG ques helped me with, is to know exactly what instance I should be doing at the moment. Sure, there are quests and in that menu the corosponding colors (Green, yellow, grey, whatever) to help you know, but as I leveled in Rift, I was able to easily place myuself either in random for my level, or in the exact dungeon I needed/wanted to be in. I see all sides of the story I have read; community effects, chat needs, long que potential for DPS....etc. I will say, I think a real group que finder would be great as an option. Maybe not for all of you, so don't use it, you have made your friends, use them. Edited January 4, 2012 by Filopio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the chat pane and press directional arrow up(I think that's the default) it will bring up your last comment. That should save you a couple seconds of having to type it out.

Lanmoryn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) THis post should be titled: Global LFG CHannel Needed Badly /agree. A server-wide LFG channel would be easily implemented. I like the idea of not catering to the other games with their game-wide LFG tool. A server only channel allows the community to get to know each other, can lead to friendships, guild interest, and most importantly provides a level of "accountability" for everyone's actions while grouping. A bad player/griefer will not be invited to future groups to everyone's mutual benefit (other than the griefer). Also, it allows the group to form as they see fit - not a tank/healer/dps/dps/(support) model that the AI of the LFG tool decides.

Darth_Syphilis Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 In WoW, the dungeon finder completely destroyed any activity of players in the world outside of the capital cities. Seriously. You could go entire play sessions through the zones and see maybe 3 to 4 players. And why would they want to go anywhere else? They can just level all the way up to 85 and get better gear.... I do NOT want to see a repeat of that in this game, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do NOT want to see a repeat of that in this game, please. At lower levels yes, not where people are doing dailies and where there is actually new content. I would gladly trade seeing people while questing for a dungeon finder, In fact one thing I really liked about wow was how I could go 1-85 just by queuing for dungeon and BGs in Org.

Umbral Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 In WoW, the dungeon finder completely destroyed any activity of players in the world outside of the capital cities. What you stated is simply untrue. It's false because very very few players in WoW have ever stuck to dungeons through their leveling. It's simply never made sense to do it given the difference in xp gained via questing compared to grinding dungeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kugruk Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It was a huge success in other MMO's I stopped reading when I this, and noticed your name...and poor grammar. They've already said no. Deal with it and the play the game the way it's meant to be played, not hanging out in a Queue. The dungeon tool ruined those "other MMOs" (read:WoW).

If the LFD tools weren't successful at retaining subscriptions and making players happy after they were implemented they wouldn't still be there.

ColdLogic Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 LFG is needed bad by republic players. It takes ages to get a group together, and if you have a job and a life, every minute is precious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barathos Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't see what a dungeon finder has to do with the destruction of community. Can you elaborate on your strange comment? Here's an example: WoW comes out and I meet people while forming up groups for dungeons, I get the people who are good / fun to be around on my friends list and try to run with them whenever I can. WoW introduces the new and amazing LFD, and after a few years the people I meet left the game. I'm now using the LFD for groups and I don't even bother trying to get a group together on my server because it's filled with "LOL! Use LFD noob!" trash. My friends list has shrunk to one maybe two people, and those folks are in my GUILD! I can't even get friends because the LFD goes cross server, so those awesome people I liked? Can't play with them anymore. LFD killed community for me, you're lucky or blind if you didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoW has been bleeding subs for a very long time now, and their biggest demographic is currently china, not the US. I would hazard to say that most of the people there are only still there because there are no better alternatives, not because WoW offers them one more feature that plays the game for them. Start talking to people, make friends, start filling up that friends list instead of hanging out on the forums whining about how the game won't play it'self for you.

Thunderslice Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My god what a bunch of Bioware fanboys in this thread, the game needs a flash point finder, I am a healer and cant find groups to the point where I dont even want to bother anymore. This game is missing common mmo features, you want to defend this trash go ahead, the rest of us will be waiting and spamming chat, or leaving this relic all together.

Kemosobe Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So I guess having a horrible community is a good price to pay just so you do not have to talk with people? I am so glad you are not on Bioware's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oogadishou Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I wouldn't mind a Dungeon Finder, so long as it is not cross-realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraith Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I dont remember SWG having a finder. I remember having to ask in general chat for a group which seemed to work well. So far in this game, I have not found it hard to form a group for heorics or flashpoints. But I am not one to speak against something that would add additional features either just because I do not current have any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Coffee Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I agree, I have been trying to find a group for a flashpoint for about 2 hrs now. Single realm/server flashpoint finder would be most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
