    Default to SSG: Would you plz put a search bar at dungeon list of LFG window?

    Since some dungeons have heroic level and epic level both, but also there are a lot of dungeons in the same level, It is annoying to find a certain dungeon. With Feywild expansion, this became even annoying.
    like you want to run Just Business in Epic levels, but you should know it is 15 level quest and it is among the other 27 quests in 15 levels. It takes some time.

    I hope SSG can fix this.

    Agree.

    Search field and dropdown that filters quests by level.

    If this would provide some way to also track what you have not done yet on epic but have completed on elite or reaper in heroics, that would be *super*.

    A search function would be of course good but maybe better in my opinion would be a Create Group button in the Adventure Compendium.

    I suggested already a Create Group button in the adventure compendium as you see it was already a while ago (still no sort by epic levels).



    If the picture is not self-explaining enough the idea is you find the quest in the Adventure Compendium and select it and if you click the create button the Create/Edit LFM window pops up with the chosen quest selected.


    The fun is that this window provides a Find Group button which is most likely never used by anyone (to give this function some sense we would need a MUCH higher population on a server).
    This tells me that the developers have obviously sometimes no idea which functions players need and they need indeed sometimes advice from players.

    Great! It looks much simple for devs to develop it! although I have really no idea why devs don't try this even if you suggested this.

    I always just click the header that says Dungeon, and it sorts it alphabetically.

    /signed for better UI in general and little details like in these examples in specifics.

    No. Way. I have been playing for ten years and I had no idea you could do this. A search bar would still be nice, but this will help. Thank you.

    Yea, very much this, would be a great QOL fix.

    Agreed and signed. Something similar for challenges that lock out and you can't even public lfm for them would be great, too

    Yes please to a search function when creating an lfm. I'm constantly searching for the quest I want to post for, even if I know the level or the name or where in the list it is, I still struggle to find it.

    And while we're at it, I would love an improvement to the search function in the Adventure panel. Like, I want to search for Feywild and get only Feywild, or search for Ravenloft and only get Ravenloft.

    Search bar would help some, but another improvement would be, in the LFM creation window, to list quests separately under both their Heroic and Epic levels. I know I want to create a group for this level 32 quest...how the heck should I know what it's Heroic level is when I have literally never run it in Heroic and probably never will?

    And add quest length so I can quickly fins short or medium dungeons when I have time for a quick run or 2.

    Oh ffs please please please this!
    I have posted on this before, chimed in on this before, it is ridiculous that we do not have a way to search for quests when we're posting an lfm.

    With so many quests now scrolling though the small window going through the list that cannot be put in alphabetical order is always a frustration.

    Help. Before I punch my screen out.

    They can't even fix their overprovisioned servers to fix the lag that happens every day, what makes you think they're able to do non-trivial changes to the UI let alone logic.

    Their account grants don't work 1/10 times because of this, e.g. you're not a VIP account but are able to open elite/reaper.
    Seemingly random "Loading..." screen with low amount of players. Yesterday this happened 2 minutes after logging in and the first zone transition that was made.

    Their "support" is the worst. So many people have lost their accounts and their "support" is unwilling to help.
    In game tickets are *always* closed without GMs helping.
    Yet "expansion packs" (lol) cost up to $150. Where is the money going? Cocaine for the management most likely, surely not into infrastructure or QoL improvements, least UI.

    But that's just Daybreak's business as usual.
    The customer producer honor contract isn't being honored. What's that you ask?
    It's when the producer tries its best to produce a product, to create and maintain a product to the best of their ability and in return the customer spreads the good word so the producer can grow.
    You know what it used to be like all the time, before I don't know what happened that made all game developers treat their customers like dirt.

    There was a time when people did something not just because of money. Nowadays money is the primary motivator and what I find appalling people are not only content with it, some even jump in to vigorously defend the perpetrator - Daybreak in this case.

    Going the extra mile? Sorting quests by quest name and level? Too much to ask. That $200k / year developer's 10 minutes aren't worth dabbling with such minor issues. It's the little things that make people love your product, the walking the extra mile that doesn't really take a whole lot of time. Don't you have interns? Oh what am I saying... who'd want to be an intern in such a obviously disorganized company with communication problems internally and externally too.
    If SSG were a country they'd be mix of Cuba + China, the disorganization of Cuba and the authoritarian regime of China with the greed of America.

    But why do I bother. They don't give a flying ****. All they care for is hiding the ugly truth and keep earning money without any effort, playing other games in their paid time.
    Every heard of this?
    https://constitution.congress.gov/co...n/amendment-1/
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
    Game moderators are at war with every non-aligned individual. It doesn't matter if it's SSG or its mother company Daybreak or Valve.
    They're all in the same authoritarian and unlawful boat of suppressing opinions and astroturfing their own policies.

    Making their games better places to spend time on isn't one of their policies.
    Nothing anyone writes on these forums have every changed the game.
    That is Daybreak policy. The customer is viewed as an addict. And you don't treat addicts with dignity. You ban them, rob them and suppress them.

    Because it's not the same people that work on the UI as work on the servers.
