Social Panel Enhancements In “Dungeon and Dragons Online”

Finding a group in Dungeons & Dragons Online™: Stormreach™ has gotten much easier, thanks to new enhancements to the Social Panel. This has been redesigned with new options;  the Grouping Windows now contains three tabs to help you find a group or add teammates to your existing group. These tabs are LFG (Looking for Group), LFM (Looking for More) and Who (see images below – click thumbnails to see in detail).

The LFG panel displays all characters currently looking to join a group and head into the dungeons. When opened, it displays the character’s name, class and level.  Players can sort them by these items. The LFG Panel shows the area and instance that the character is currently in, to allow players to gather in a common location more quickly. One can also see any LFG Notes that the player has left, in case they are looking for specific groups or just want to make something about themselves.

When a person who is LFG appears in the window, one clicks on their name in the LFG window followed by the “Invite” button to allow them into the party. To speak with them, one clicks on their name, followed by the “Tell” button.

Players can also flag themselves as Looking for Group by clicking the “Player Looking For Group” checkbox and update their own LFG Notes on this panel. Their LFG Note will also display under their name in the Who panel.

The LFM Panel allows a player to show others that s/he is forming a group, and let others know what types of characters they’re are looking for. Party leaders can click on the LFM Tab and flag themselves as LFM by clicking the “Group Looking For More” checkbox. Comments can be added to the LFM Notes to let others know what the leader’s  party is doing and what they are looking for. Through the Class Selection buttons, one can specify what types of characters you are looking for. If one is not picky, there is an  “Any” option.

Like the LFG Panel, the LFM Panel also displays the area and instance the Party Leader is, to help the party gather more quickly.

If a player sees a group s/he could join in the LFM window, s/he can click on that group, and then press the “Join” button to become a member. Clicking the “Tell” button will allow a player to send a message to the party leader.
