Dunno, it should be though. Massive QoL upgrade.

There are some raids with LFG and stuff, but no one ever uses it and it has hours of wait time before you can find one person let alone 6

That’s a good question.

I don’t understand it either ff14 is an mmo and all the features and tools for commutation and lfg stuff is all in the game works perfectly fine and their raids are a lot more punishing than destiny’s raids

It’d be really hard getting the recov posts in a small area

Because if you play on console and don't have the app installed on your phone you are doing it wrong.

Its so weird to me that this is a complaint. PC has discord and Xbox has built in LFG. Both those systems, while not in game, work perfectly fine and if they were implemented in game would not make it any easier than It already Is to find people. I understand Ps4 users complaining because they have nothing on their system but what the -blam!- gives with so many people who play on Xbox or PC not wanting to use the LFG that is just as simple and easy to use.

There once was a thing called “Guided Games” inside the game. In fact, it’s still there. Basically, you can be a seeker or whatever the name is for someone who leads. The leader would have to have I think another clan mate in order for there to be a match made. It was introduced in year 1. I tried matchmaking several times as a seeker, only for me to wait around for ten minutes before I decided nobody is leading, so no matchmaking for me. This resulted probably 30 or more minutes of my life I am not getting back. It has not worked then, it will not work now. The only thing I see saving the system is the requirement for another clan mate. However, the only logical reason this is in place is most likely because if someone is in your clan, they are your friend. This prevents I guess just complete strangers idk. As I type this it made a little bit of sense but now it does not. But anyways, let’s say a group is matchmade together and they all load into the area. So now everyone has to spend 5-10 minutes configuring how to establish coms on pc, and about a few minutes to thirty seconds on console. So they finally establish coms and... oh... two people don’t speak the same language and have no clue what the other is saying. What happens now? Do they kick the person they can’t understand? If someone doesn’t know mechanics, they might get booted. I have raided a lot in the past, and some groups are meaner than others. They just got jebaited and let me tell you why When you press guided games, it gives you info on about how long the activity will take. For raids, I am 99% sure it states “45+” minutes. That does not include time to match make itself. You see the problem? Someone THINKS “oh this won’t take too much time.” Then they can match make for who knows how long until they find a group or maybe 2 minutes in a perfect world. And then they get in a party chat and nobody knows what they’re saying and now they are booted and have no clue why. Look it’s just, there’s an incredible amount of factors you have to think about that usually go unnoticed. When you have a listing like LFG, a specific group of people can gather and do stuff. Sometimes posts suck, requiring 10+ clears on Garden when someone just wants to clear it for divinity, sometimes nice people like sherpas are on there helping those who want to learn. It’s not perfect, but no system ever will be. TL;DR: guided games tried that and it does not work worth a darn. LFG is probably one of the best options we have even though it sucks sometimes

Thats the mystery. The game would have better legs if LFG was an integrated system like .. you know. EVERY OTHER MMO, but for some reason they toss it outside to an external source that GREATLY Reduces peoples incentive to try and set up a group. I dont think someone there understands how most of their playerbase works esp when it comes to PC.

I wish they would update guided games. They could make it for dungeons, raids, and secret mission (whisper, zero hour) Completing activities as a guide could award extra drops from the final encounters and offer an extra pinnacle reward for doing 2-3 guides a week. Oh and make mics mandatory to launch it. If you have less than 5 clears of that activity you'd be put into the seeker pool and match made with 2 guides for dungeons/missions or up to 5 for raids. If you have 5 or more clears of an activity you'd be put in the guide pool and matched with seekers, but if there are no seekers then the game would match you with a team of all guides. If an encounter cannot be cleared the team can vote to quit without penalties and if the majority vote to quite then everyone is booted to orbit, but you get to keep your check point. If you choose to quit early without voting, then you could be hit with the old gambit style temporary ban from activity.

Your on xbox there's a LFG right there. 🙄

It was either in game LFG or 3,000 variations of ghost shells and ships that noone cares about... they could only pick one soooooo

I’d love to know also.
