Staying in groups / Finding players

If there is a way to make staying with a group easier.

Like if one person uses the map to go to a different location a pop up box would come up and ask if you want to join that person in XYZ, and if you can not go there because you have never ventured there, just have the message say something like "player has gone to an area that you can not access". That way you will still be grouped with that person and it will eliminate the repetitiveness of telling your group ok meet me in XYZ distict#. Maybe the same can be with zoning in general so that would alow the person to choose if they want to zone or not.

Also having a way to indicate where some one in either your guild or friends list is currently located.

If it was a mission have <mission> next to their name. or <xyz District#>. so you can easily meet up with them with out having to ask where are you.

I second both of these motions

I concur. I spent some time yesterday saying: "ok, meet me in district 9." [district full] "ok 10 rather" etc.

would love to have travel map be able to keep you in a group.

I totally second this. While it is easy to communicate with people, sometimes people just don't communicate. When you've got new players that just don't get the jist of districts and such, this is also useful.

I've had people claim to be in a certain district or city, just to realize later, "Oops, I'm actually in _____." Very annoying.

I think those ideas are great. It should also say whom is party leader. And when you are in a party you have that party box on your screen. But only the leader can click on someones name and target them. I wish everyone could. It would make it alot easier to cast a enchantment on your ally.

Another feature could be to make your friends/guild list and the district work together. Therefore you enter Ascalon City you have three friends in District 3 and 1 friend in District 6. The engine would prioritises you to enter into District 3 and if that District is full it would try and put you in District 6. This way you have a strong chance of re-finding your friends when you enter a District.

Is it possible to add someone to your party from your friens list (or Guild list) without typing in the Name? If not that would be also an issue which i would apriciate to be included.
And all the OP sayed I totally agree. Of course the option to group even in diffrent districts would be nice!(if that would be easy to implement).

Another thing that i noticed is the colour of your teammates dots on the minimap. Sometimes and especially in citys but also in missions it gets a little confusing. Can't your party just have a diffrent colour on the minimap? (blue or anything else.... But just not the same green as everyone esle) or am I the only one who has noticed this?

god yes! or to let one of you travel but stay in the party then return to the same place as the rest of your party

This can't be the first time this was posted? Surely...

Anyway, I agree.

Thank you. Hopefully this will be addressed.

YES YES YES! I totally agree.

The teaming + quests system needs some looking at, its very confusing for people and you get so much "so what are we doingnow and where are we going"...ect. Only the leader ever seems to know whats going on - the others can't see the current quest or anything.

The leaders needs to be able to see all the players quests, set one and all the players need to be able to see what the current quest is. If jumping to a town where all the players can go - TAKE ALL THE PLAYERS PLEASE!

Also if more than 1 person has the same quest some option to combine - just for example was with 3 friends last night and we had to run the same quest 4 times because it wouldn't drop more than 1 of the item to be retrieved each time (was the devourer poison stinger quest). Each time it dropped it was assigned to the leader so they had to get it and then drop it for someone else - even if it was their quest.

I wouldn't say just the leaders. Because some one could have made the group but some one could be takeing charge. With thinking about that there should be a /makeleader <name> in effect.

This really needs to be introduced. It sucks sometimes when you have party members on the same map, and you can't find one another. Even if there was an option to automatically teleport to where your party is, that would be nice.
Totally. I'm surprised this isn't in there already actually.
