New Party Formation System?
scrinner
I havent heard or read anything on guru about this. Well i just recieved my Nightfall SE package from ebgames. Just read about this in the NCSoft Product Catalog.
- First Page- Guildwars Nightfall "Find your allies quickly and build the ultimate party using the new cross-district Party Search system."
Should be interesting

Interesting. Anyone have more information regarding this?
Arcador
I hope it is not just a Asynced feature that has not been yet implented.
MerLock
Well since nightfall is live, anyone got any new information on this or tried it out?
King Kong
Is this true?

you can still only invite people active in your current district...

That improvement is still standing in line behind the "trade improvements", guild storage and various other improvements that were hinted at, waiting for implementation.

if you listen closely to the making of Nightfall dvd, they'll explain somewhere that they listen to the community and give an example, improved party forming was their example. they didn't state a date or so tho

.....figures. Would be nice to send an invite to your team to someone no matter where they are and have a pop up like when you map travel in team & you just click yes or no to be teleported to where they are & join their team. And with 9 character slots, having only 1 storage is getting rather skimpy since I tend to like to use a wide array of weapons, off hands, shields etc. personal & guild storage expansion is really a VERY annoying part of this game for me as most other games I've played don't have this issue.

Isn't cross districts working now? I thought they were... Has anyone tested it out yet? The limit is probably to be on the same server (us, euro,china...) and in the same town, just in different districts.
And yeah on a continuing note about storage, there ABSOLUTELY must be more storage, There are 12 heros now...

Nope, I haven't had the chance to test it yet. Anyone knows if this works?
-.-
Doesn't work as for as I know. Can someone else confirm this?

Oh where oh where can Gaile be found?

The manual also said there's a hero that has a variable class.
The manual also said there was an elite mission open to all in NF.

Gaile also said last week we can expect a MAJOR update in the coming months. One thing she mentioned was the Elite mission. Maybe these other things will come as well.

If these yet to be seen features are advertised on the box, the I think Anet is going to hve a little problem here in the U.K., as the trade descriptions act will grab them by the you know whats.

Could be one of the features Gaile mentioned they are working on for Christmas.

The phrase "cross-district Party Search system" leaves a lot to the imagination and already my expectations are high for this. Maybe this is all part of the update they are working for with the new elite mission. It would only make sense to release a new LFG system with a popular new mission.
I would very much like to see this grouping feature in game ASAP. With so much to do in this game it's kinda hard to find a people to do stuff with although you know they're out there... just hard to find. If this feature is put in I hope it works for ALL campaigns. If I ever choose to go back and play through previous campaigns this grouping feature would be almost mandatory.
I just hope it doesn't pan out like WoW's Meeting Stones... omfg those things were a joke!

Please, please, please make this so!

Anarchy Online has a pretty nice 'LFT' looking for team system. You can put a description of what you want to do, tells your level, class & location & even your faction. This would be a nice feature, it would also reduce chat spam as you could just go LFT & then bring up the interface to view other ppl & look for someone that is doing something you are interested in. But in AO, there are no henchies or instances, it's all 1 instance and all the players are human aside from the mobs you fight or your allied faction mobs.
Elruid
Loki is right. They'll be offering some new data to our installations in some upcoming update. I am confident this new feature will arrive with the reconnect feature. I mean, yeah.
Warrior Of The Toon
It's probably hiding in the supposedly huge update they claim to have planned (along with elite missionetc).
logik
i know where this feature is.... the same place the guild storage, trade imporvements, Nightfall elite mission, and Razah are...i am starting to hate this. I used to Love anets marketing of "Underpromise and overdeliver" now its the other way around we don't get half of the feature they actually promise

Its only natural that GW will get one soon to avoid looking even more crippled than it does now.
I just can't wait until they do something with the chat system. Its extremely limited compared to other systems.

I distinctly recall Gaile saying something about this not too long before Nightfall's release, and I was rather interested in what it might be.

Last year during wintersday, they gave us Observer mode and IDS, along with other crap I can't remember.
If any updates will happen, my guess it will be December 25 2006. Those will include....
Cross District Party Formation
New Elite Mission
Auction House ^_^
More Armor/Stuff....

why don't the both of you find another game to play with that negative attitude? I'm really sick of the complainers that don't appreciate the development Anet does. There have been hundreds of improvements through free updates to this game since I payed for it 18 months ago.
Go stand in WoW waiting for a Meeting Stone to work for 3 hours a day. Go take gryphon rides for 1 hour a day experiencing all the other wonderful timesinks that Blizzard designed for you.
Stop complaining about Anet and GW and just quit. No one will miss you.
My guess is that they probably could release Razah and the elite mission for Nightfall today, cause it's probably already developed but doing so would just cause popularity for the mission to fizzle out, because there isn't a good enough LFG system in place for the missions to thrive. For example if you want to go to UW or FoW you need to look in 3 different places.

EQ2 has a decent LFG/LFW system too, and had one before WoW. Also, the current WoW LFG system is arguably worse than even GWs - as everyone on the entire server tends to spam a single channel. . .
I do agree that the GW LFG system is xtremely bad.

Since large segments no longer seem to want to team with anyone anyway, this probably isn't so important anymore anyway

The problem with the chat spamming is that you can't ignore an unlimited ammount of players, if people that spammed could all be put on ignore, it wouldn't take long for people to start actually using the right channel for trade. The lack of an auction house or a 'player shop' is also highly responsible for all that spam. 95% of the normal players would just put the stuff in the shop to sell it & get back to playing the game.
I really hope they do add a LFG feature & I hope it's intuitive, easy to use, and will allow global or at least national teaming. What I mean by this is you can go LFG and be seen by anyone on US/EU or what ever server you are on. For instance, maybe there are some people having trouble with Villany of Galrath, that seems to be a tough one the first time through. So some people in LA are on LFG for Villany & also, some folks in ToA are on LFG for Villany....it would be nice that they could see each other.

She said we'll see how cool and easy it'll be to make a party in Nightfall.
Well it seems we have to wait a couple of more months to see it.
Annette should really make the difference in the future between In the game on Released Day or Added during product lifetime.
It'll help a lot of people being less disappointed and angry.
