Party Auto Matching system
 The party auto matching icon is a new feature and by far the most helpful. What does this funny little thing do? It allows you to:
|
| This feature works cross-map, meaning that you don't have to be on the same map as the players you choose to party with. This helps save time and headaches for players who need a party. |
| Here's a detailed guide on how to use this awesome feature. |
 | To start off, you must open the party menu by hitting ALT+G or G, then click the Party Auto Matching icon. That will open up this screen. As you can see, there are four different options (not including Cancel) to choose from.
|
| For now, let's assume you are not in a party, but you would like to register your name on to the available party-seeking member list in the hopes that someone will invite you to a party. To do this, select option 1. The following screen will pop up. |
| This screen is asking you what type of party you would prefer. An equal party so you can solo with anyone? Or perhaps you'd like a combat party so you can party with people around your level? |  | |
| The party type you pick will determine the party type that you end up joining. If you select an equal party, then anyone else looking for an equal party may invite you to party with them, or any existing equal party that sees your name may invite you to join them. You cannot be invited to a party type that you are not registered for. | ||
 | After registering, this screen will pop up to confirm that your name has been added to the list of available party-seeking players. | |
| To view the list of available party-seeking members, select option two. It will open a very large window with detailed information about all the people who are currently looking for parties. |
 |
As you can see, the list gives the names of the available members, their location (map, not coordinates), their character class, and the type of party they are looking for. Anyone with a is within your level range. |
| To party with one of the people on the list, select their name and click the "Invite" button at the bottom of the window. I suggest Private Messaging the person you want to party with before you invite them, just to make sure they're looking for the same kind of party you are. (In the past, I've had some players become angry with me for inviting them to a general solo party instead of a general fighting party.) |
| To view the list of available member-seeking parties, select option 3. It will bring up the following window. |
 |
| This list gives the names of the available parties, the number of players in the party, the leader's location (map, not coordinates), the character classes the party is looking for, and the party type. Any party with a means that the party's leader is within your level range. To join a party on this list, select their name and click the "Apply" button. A message will pop up on the party leader's screen telling them that you want to join. |
| To remove your registration information from the list of available party-seeking members, select option 4. It will give you the message displayed on the right. |  | |
| Now let's assume that you are the leader of a party and you want to register your party on to the list of available member-seeking parties. How do you do this? Well, just like you register yourself on to the available party-seeking member, you have to start off by selecting option 1. This will make the following window pop up. | ||
 | In this window you, as party leader, must input a name for your party, choose which character classes you want to allow to join your party, and select whether or not you want to put a level restriction on players who might apply. Leaving the class selection unchecked will result in adding all classes to the list. If you choose to put a level restriction on, then only players within your level range will be allowed to join. | |
 | Here's an example of a completed party registration window. As you can see, I've input a party name and checked all the character class boxes so people of any class will be able to join. I did not check the level limit box because it's a solo party, so there's no need to cut out people of a lower/higher level than mine. I suggest only checking the level limit box if your party members are going to all be fighting together in one area. | |
| To invite new members to your party, you can select option 2 and view the list of available party-seeking players. Select the name of a player you want to invite and click the "Invite" button at the bottom of the window. The player will receive a message asking them to confirm or cancel your invitation to join your party. |
| If you ever get a full party of 8 people, your party will stay registered, but in Party List it will be shown as full (8/8). After someone leaves, the party will be automatically open for more members to join. |
| To remove your party from the list of available member-seeking parties, select option 4. You will get a message confirming that registration information has been removed. |
