Bringing back the LFG channel

We're making many improvements to the Looking For Group tool, most of which are still in production and can't yet be discussed. Player suggestions and feedback are playing a large part in the changes we're making and we want to emphasize that we are indeed making improvements.

The change we can talk about right now is indeed the return of the looking for group channel in the next major content patch. With it comes a rather significant requirement, and that is that you will have to be in the LFG system set to looking for a group or looking for more to see and use the channel. The global LFG channel will only be viewable and available for use to players while they are in the LFG system.

We hope to see the combination of the LFG tool coupled with the ease of use of a global channel help to improve the LFG tool and players use of the tool. Again we're making other improvements based on feedback and suggestions which we'll be able to discuss in the near future.

Q u o t e:


Selective groups is what we want. We want to be in control of who we are grouping with.
At least I do

The LFG tool provides that. Uncheck "auto join".

I just wanted to state that there have been many comments so far about other features, or restrictions the tool currently had. As stated we're making additional changes based on feedback and suggestions; however development is not far enough along on them where we're comfortable announcing them as of yet.

Q u o t e:
And how exactly do you propose I do this without keeping the LFM screen open if I don't select autojoin?

Select an instance you think you would like to do if an offer came, if the offer does come and you're busy politely decline the offer. You can close the LFG tool window and still be in the system and able to view the LFG channel (even with auto join off).
