So, obviously LFG is a needed feature ingame.
Yet, I guess, everyone noted that it's far from completed state.

There are features, seemed needed:

1) There should be option to change state of a group "Open/Private" after creating a group
2) There is no restriction to joining a group during searching a match, that is pretty much needed
3) There should be option to make a group of a predefined amount of player slots
4) After adding to group 12 people that "Big Blue Button" disappears. Yet, if someone leaves a group, leader of that group can not add some other people, cause "Big Blue Button" isn't active

I guess, that list will continue, yet those are first noted.

Lfg feature is good but it needs a few tweeks

Predefine the max size.... its so frustating getting everyone ready then some one pops in and we have to wait again.

Slow down how quickly people can join and leave a group. This would reduce churn.

enable voip for the group while in the lobby. Would speed up organisation.

i like that a public group could become a private group which again would reduce churn but there are issues with this at the moment (you need them friended).

3333 is a pain in public but needs to be there. I dont think you should be ablr to join a group if you would cause it to violate 3333 (and hence stop it dropping). Displaying what is in a current group would speed this up as well

Other suggestions:

Display unit tags in lobby
Allow group leader to set a persistant message that remains at the top of the group chat, 2 lines max
Allow group leader to name the group and display that instead of players name
A cancel all remaining open invites function would be great

A MS paint tutorial from Paul would be pretty awesome too.

They need to take some notes from Craig's list. For example, you should be able to attach a note that ppl can see. This way you can say "LF unit to join." Or "Lvling x mech", etc.

Just so you know, You can Leave LFG. There's a red button right in the Upper right corner of the looking for group box. Only thing that kept me from just adding a player each map was the merging function, which would merge another group with mine.

Still I agree that the limiting the group size would help.... for this event. Not sure why your need it normally though.

Agree.

Maybe the 3) is redundant with the 1). If you want to create a 4 man group, make the group private and invite only 3 other people.

If i may add another suggestion, allow custom names (or custom descriptions) for groups, something that gives information about the group purpose, like "Conquest 8 man", "<planet name> cw 12 man", etc

[TheArisen]

Pata your suggestion goes right along with mine. We should be able to make notes about what we're doing or even looking for.

[patataman]

Right! Sorry, i guess i overreaded part of the thread, my bad.

Edit: I just finished rereading all the posts, good suggestions in all of them guys.
