1. Can't sort by tier. I keep finding tons of parties in tier 1 that I will NEVER want to join.
2. Hardly shows any parties. I've been waiting now for 15 minutes and it only shows 19.
3. WHY does it show depth 0 parties? It's not even worth joining a group if you can't skip even one floor.
4. Can't sort by gate. I want to do silver serpent right now and have over a dozen of the wrong gate.
5. Can't filter out missions. I'm sick of seeing King of Ashes every time!
6. Couldnt we get some kind of indication of when the party started the floor? I hate joining right before the elevator.
7. This is minor, but you can't see gear or rank. It would be nice to know if the party I joined had any clue what they were doing.

Any other ideas? For that matter, the "join party" option of the mission menu/arcade doesn't work right. It will say "no parties available" which is a COMPLETE LIE because I can clearly see parties in the Party Finder.

If OOO hasn't done it yet, that explains why it "lies". Joining from the mission interface shows english-only parties, while the finder shows everything. He wasn't too fond to improve it back then but we have a new software engineer now so there's hope.

if have "english only" checked, it should only show english parties, even in the party finder. And there should still be way more english parties than that.

Also that thread is from A YEAR AGO. and STILL isn't fixed.

Larry... why don't you understand the poor Party Finder...

It does its job to tell you which parties are from Europe or not...
It shows only shows you which parties are at the beginning of the level as to not overwhelm you with too many parties and ending parties...
Also, poor Party Finder shows you all parties that fit its rules... So... blame the lack of parties on small Arcade playerbase.
You joined right before the elevator? Pretty sure that's because you didn't refresh your Party Finder and you joined a party that rushed through the level...
You never got rank or skill or equipment rating of party members when you randomly joined Arcade parties before, why should you have this information now?

Just cycle through all the missions... so much fun to do every time... join me in this endeavor :/

Don't hate on the poor Party Finder, Larry.

Hmmmmmm I'm really not sure of the code or whether its doing its job or not, but I can say that there do seem to be an awful lot of vanaduke and tier 1 parties showing up. its like.... no T2 boss lobbies. No random missions. None of that. Which is what I'm usually looking for rofl.

Hi Fehzzy :p

Party Finder just shows: Expansion missions, Arcade runs that have just arrived at a new floor, and Rank-appropriate missions.

So... right now if you want to have Party Finder give you RJP or IMF you have to have the appropriate rank... which will be befuddled by the incoming equipment restrictions :/

If I could see all of the mission parties so I could choose which one I'd like to redo again to help a random player I'd be really happy. If we could favorite some missions or Arcade run tiers/depths, that'd be great too. But, I've already said all of this in another thread or so and it seems to have floated past deaf ears.

ps. Larry should be a better sport .-.
