Hey ya'll, we're very close to completing an LFG tool that we think will be much better than the current spam in discord. The tool will allow you to create "characters", so your mara, your helana, and you sylvie with your dungeon scores and ilvls. Then filter through all of the groups that are made based on you intentions (farming gear or pushing score), with ILVL filters, with dungeon filters, with groups that only have the slot you are, etc. Or you can post a group and find the exact members you need for your party in real time without digging through the discord spam to find them. All of the friend codes will be quick copy buttons, and we some cool ideas for the future of the tool as well. We know that the devs are cooking up some eternal matchmaking, but we think the tool can be good even when that exists because it allows you to craft a group that is perfect for you.

The issue with a feature like this, is we need people to be excited right away and have big influx of people on day one. Otherwise the feature is useless. So I wanted to gauge interest with the community, and maybe discuss how best we can launch this feature!

Hope you will participate, thank you!

How is it any different than spamming the LFG channel every single day all day? I see your message history, I think you could benefit from a tool like this

#

@nocturne heath what do you think of the idea Thaul?

nocturne heath
#

I made it to Eternal but spamming Discord looks awful to me so I just started adding people to my friends list
I'm just playing alts now but I'll probably give your tool a try 😄

I play WoW every season, and frequently push to 3.3k+, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at. But you seem like a lovely human, sure you have a ton of friends.

I understand your concern, and I feel that pain from WoW, so I can empathize

#

But I think it's apples and oranges

Great tool, maybe on your annoucement give the tip also that you can use it via the Steam overlay browser so there is not even tab switching required

spoiler tagging cause some people might not want to know datamined stuff (about the mount):
||there are "rat spirits" or something among those lines in a dungeon that don't sound like any dungeon we have so far.. so I checked in detail and it seems like there's 2-3 dungeons (2 dungeons and a capstone dungeon) inside the files, that aren't in game yet. they are 1) cadavers (like the ones in dunes, the skeleton archers etc) 2) vampires 3) undead bishops etc inside a cathedral.. I assume that's where we'll get the rat||

#

!!!! Whoah, that's good to know

grizzled shore
#

@here Go check out the group finder, sorry we're a little late!

grizzled shore
#

Sure, lets fix it!

grizzled shore
#

@viscid forum This is live now, thanks for you patience. You should be able to apply to any region from your current one.

#

Any initial feedback on group finder, what can we add/change.

empty sparrow
#

Still have to add in friend list first?

grizzled shore
#

Yah, when you're in the group on the app, there are buttons you can click to copy friend code.

#

then just paste it in inside of the game

#

It would be nice to have some sort of connection to fellows.gg/fellowshiplogs so that I dont always need to update my character

#

I know they have apis but I dont remember what scopes that api covers

#

Or maybe the api isnt published yet

#

When will this tool be out

grizzled shore
#

@here Hey yall. We're working on trying to get more people using the LFG. One of the ideas from a member of the official discord suggested adding a copy link for the posting of your group so they can post in discord. We thought that was a good idea, so we added it. If you go to make a group and want to try out our new feature, create your group then share the link into the LFG channel. They will then be able to apply on that page specifically to your group.

pine dune
#

so that's cool and all.. but isn't the whole point of the tool to not have to use the lfg channel? why use the website at all if you're gonna use the lfg channel anyway? 😂

grizzled shore
#

Yah, super valid question. The goal with this is to act as a stop gap in order to get more people in the platform. It's obviously not ideal, but we need the community to help us generate interest in a sort of fluid manner. The reason you would do this, is because you think the LFG tool is a better option than parsing the discord LFG chats, and are willing to do both in the mean time to get enough people on the platform so that eventually we just remove that button.

#

If you think the juice isn't worth the squeeze, maybe others feel the same way, the feature dies - we move on, haha

fading plank
#

Is something wrong atm? The groups are show up once after cache clear and never again.

grizzled shore
#

@fading plank we introduced a bug with chracters when we migrated to allow multiple regions per person. We're working on a fix right now

#

Okay, if you can, will you hard refresh the app, and it hopefully will be working for you again

frosty quail
#

Alrighty finaly home and time to test the tool 😄

#

Hey so i gota quick suggestion @grizzled shore

#

Maybe We could benefit from a Costum URL. RN people in LFG chat often think its just a random link to the route planner

cosmic kindle
#

Why cant we see listed groups while listing our own group?

grizzled shore
#

Can’t make it up, 2 minutes before you posted this

#

@cosmic kindle we’re working on it in other words

grizzled shore
#

Silver we will have a group merging feature probably tomorrow!

#

Alright yall, I’m on vacation till the 15th, if you have any questions @spare parrot is your dude. And @icy bramble will be a little weirdo in the background watching.

frosty quail
#

haver a good vacation and thanks for the otol

Unfortunately, no one or hardly anyone uses the tool, and instead players spam the Discord channel pointlessly

It’s a good idea but realistically needs to be built into the game to be effective. It’ll die out fairly fast.
