Sometimes when I choose to party with random knights conflict of interests occurs. Knights find out my intentions or vice versa only after joining that party, not before. In my vision, that is a major problem which has to be solved.

For this I have come with a suggestion, to implement the possibility of naming party rooms.

Below is an example of how it would look like this idea:

I see only advantages if this option will be implemented:

people will save much more time with this option;
there is a high possibility that runs like SL will be seen much more often in the “Party Finder”;
knights will become more friendly as they will run with people of their skill and knowledge.

In a nutshell, naming party rooms is a must have for SK.

I admit that maybe i had a wrong point of view regarding skill and knowledge, but at least people with same interests will join your party.

@Pipipipipi
He is suggesting that parties can be labeled based on their goals/intent, be it achievements, shadow lair runs, etc. It's always annoying when you are trying to go to Vanaduke and you discover that 75% of your party is only going to the first clockwork terminal. By being able to check the parties' name/label, you can save yourself time by only joining a party that shares your goals (and will not leave after two depths or kick you prematurely upon discovering that YOU only want to do two depths).

Edit: forgot to add my +1!

how is it going to know what

how is it going to know what they are going too?

even if the players are the ones who have to name it, why would they even bother naming it

besides the point, if someone was doing vanna, they would do the mission, not arcade, and someone getting to SL would make a private party

@ Pipipipipi

I do not understand why do you keep asking the same question over and over again as it was already answered by me and Martial;
You are not paying attention on what i am suggesting, thus resulting a misunderstanding.

If this option will be implemented players will realize that this function saves their time and nerves, as Martial stated above "By being able to check the parties' name/label, you can save yourself time be only joining a party that shares your goals".

I saw that you've mentioned the word "mission" regarding Vanaduke. Even though missions were implemented not a long time ago, there are people that still prefer to do it the old way. Anyway that isn't the point, the point is, correct me if I'm wrong, aren't you creating a party room when you're going on a mission ? Read the title, read the topic, again.

I do not agree with you regarding SL. The main problem of SK atm is that private parties have overtaken the game. Through this option my secondary goal is to give a chance to random people that are willing to see the full potential of this game. Most of the players leave SK only because they are marginalized by private parties. A party room name will represent a condition to knights, which if you meet you will become eligible to enter that room.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

This should have come in the beta.

These ideas could work well together.

Forget about manual naming, leave a combo box with premade titles.
(put an 'other reasons' tag for specifically weird runs that need a custom name)

@Autofire

Looking at screenshots of the Preview Event, this would have been easier to implement in the beta too.

+1, obviously.

@ Little-Juances

Great idea with premade titles, but how many titles do you have in mind and will they satisfy SK players ?

In my vision if there will be a combo with premade titles, there would be around 10-15 titles, which is quite a lot considering that you will have to scroll through them to find the one that fits your needs. People will just alter them to not lose time choosing.

I agree, since I normally choose not to go past the T3 terminal, upsetting my party members. Now I can tell others my intentions, which is basically finding the boss line recipes before the champion rank comes. As well as during events like the Dark Harvest, I can just tell people I'm looking for the Punkin King or something.
