Here's what needs to happen:

1. Stop putting limits on how many parties appear. Earlier it didn't show ANY parties in the gate/tier I wanted, yet the instant I went to the Arcade menu and clicked Join Party, it put me in one.
2. Put Missions in a separate list, especially if it's missions we already completed.
3. Let us filter out difficulties we'll never play, mostly Normal.
4. Keep the leader's name on screen somewhere after we join so we can at least ask them why we got kicked during the loading screen.(also require a REASON for kicking. It's not a perfect solution, but in lieu of voting, at least it will discourage random kicks for no reason)
5. Let us filter by gate/tier. Not all of us want to spam boss runs all day every day.
6. Show the actual number of players and/or parties in each arcade gate.

Also, this isn't really party finder related but:

- Bring back the clock that shows when a new gate will be generated
- Have text on the elevator a la AH that says "very long", "short", etc giving us a vague idea when the gates will rotate next.

+1 for Filters

1. Can we confirm that there is a limit? I just assumed no one plays in open parties.
2. +1 for Filters
3. +1 for Filters
4. You got kicked during the loading screen because you took to long to load, no need to ask if you already know this.
5. +1 for Filters
6. I guess that could be useful.

Filters! This sounds like it belongs in the suggestion forum.

Um its not my fault the servers are bad. And it's not fair to kick me when it's only been 15 seconds.

This is coming from the person that made the thread about greavers being too hard? I understand that you'd make this one about party finding "broken".

Open [ social ] during load, click party leader and message or mail them

You're exaggerating my complaints about greavers, and that has nothing to do with this regardless.

Also you can't check the leader when you've already been kicked...

What's more annoying is when you find a party you want to join in the Party Finder, join, load, then immediately get kicked because "I forgot to lock it"... Whoopdedoo... PMing me that you forgot to lock your party makes me forgive you.

Who cares about getting

Who cares about getting kicked. Its a problem with people, not the system.

Which is why I make my own parties or join friends.

ANow, the real question is, who waits 30 mins staring at the party finder to try to get an opening?

Good idea with the time for gate rotations tho, but its the only one

They spoiled party finder

They spoiled party finder system a long time ago. Previously i could find any mission, RJP for example and now i can find only champion/vanguard missions. GM's said to change gear to lower level, and i got the same high level missions with 0* gear.

@fettuccine

yes but they can at least take steps to stop people from abusing it as much.

And if I make my own party, usually nobody joins, and I have to start way back at the subtown.

I actually use the party finder successfully on occasion. I think its a pretty swell feature and am glad to have it. It could use improvement, sure. But it doesn't necessarily need it to function.
