So the developer spend their time on refining the friends list.
Now you can sort the listview by columns!
No people will care about that!
Srsly how are you setting your priorities in development!?

Are you seriously complaining about this? It probably took about 15 minutes to actually code that small improvement. They had plenty of time to work on other things. Makes me laugh when people who don't know anything about coding complain about development.

No, I worked as a programmer and I have also done GUI.
Implementing this takes longer than 15min :-D

It was requested. And it's probably a very small fix. IT for more years than I care to discuss.

I blame the quality control, whom ever tested it obviously doesn't have very many people in their unit or friend's list.

Suggest PARTIAL quick fix: Add an option to apply a filter that EXCLUDES all OFFLINE people from your list.

It won't be complete fix, but it will make what's there, work MUCH better than it does...

Yeah, a way to exclude offline players is really needed.

So, you can't filter out the friend's list but you can see them arranged differently now. Am I right in saying? I've yet to update MWO.

People wanted a refresh button, they got a refresh button. Should've asked for an actually working one! Posted Image

I gave PGI a list of things they should do to fix the game. They didn't listen. Instead they break the friends list even more. Go ahead. Ban me.

My ban-fu doesn't seem to be working. You'll have to wait for PGI to get around to doing that themselves. Please wait....

Ha.ha.ha - PGI... So you fixed the sorting in the Friend's list, but you forgot to put the SAME FIX in the Unit list too!

Why is everything coming out of PGI lately so damned half-assed?

As a hunch -- because they are putting all their resources into MechWarrior 5 to the determent of MWO which most of us would think is a pretty stupid thing to do to the thing that's paying their bills

Edited: Not worth saying anything else.

It's always interesting watching a company be its own competition.

It's not even like they really fixed the Friends list correctly either. Before this fiasco, everyone who was online but NOT deployed was at the top of the list, THEN came everyone who was deployed, THEN all the offline folks.

Now it's online and deployed all mixed together, then everyone else.

Seriously PGI correct action:

Separate the Online/Deployed/Offline/Training/etc. status AS ITS OWN COLUMN, then the "last on" can function somewhat normally (although there too you need to fix it such that it always provides a flippin' date, even for offline folks it doesn't always do that).

PLUS, a RADIO BUTTON for toggling "OFFLINE" people off would be absolutely BRILLIANT.

I swear to god, it's like the person designing this stuff either A. doesn't play this game, or B. has like 5 friends in his friends list.

You cannot be "listening to the players" if you're pumping out excrement like this...
