Party Replacement System

Awesome!

10. Party Replacement System



Addition of the Party Replacement System which checks the applying character's level and class to form a party automatically.

Party Applicant:

A character who logs into the world is automatically placed in a party queue.
The functionality can be accessed freely with the [Start Automatic Party Search] and [Stop] options in Party Action on the Action window.
A UI appears when a party is found that meets the level and class of the applicant, on which the applicant can choose to join or refuse the party.
When the applicant chooses to join and teleports to the party, the character that applied for a replacement is removed automatically. The applicant and the rest of the party members are given "Temporary Invincibility" and "Increased Concentration" buffs.

Party Leader:

The Party leader can register a replacement applicant in the queue after receiving a request by pressing a button on the top right of the Party UI.
When an applicant who satisfies the requirements is found, or an applicant has refused to join the party, the party leader is notified by a system message.
When an applicant refuses to join the party, the party leader must press the button on the top right of the Party UI to register a replacement applicant in the queue.

Replacement Applicant:

A replacement applicant can send replacement requests to party leaders.
A replacement applicant can confirm his/her placement in a queue by looking at the activated icon on the top right of the Status UI.
When an applicant who meets the requirements joins the party, the replacement applicant is removed from the party automatically.


The party member replaced through the Replacement System and the rest of the party members receive useful buffs.

Momentary Invincibility: Invincible for 10 seconds
Increased Concentration: Increase in Exp. gained by 3% for 10 minutes

The Replacement System cannot be used in the following situations:

In a Raid Boss area
In an unsummonable area
In an instanced dungeon which becomes bound after completion
A Battleground-registered character
A character participating in PvP related content


Does this mean hero shouts wont be necessary during low-population times to find a pt? :)

well the fact it won't work for ppl that have an active war going will narrow it down a bit but besides that it will make it alot easier to get groups going yes..

pretty sure one can bypass that up to a point by having a "neutral" char as partyleader but again something we'll need to test at PTS..

No worries, wars will be killed, everybody will be able to party togaaaaaathaaaa!

A character who logs into the world is automatically placed in a party queue.

You can switch it off via an interrupt button:

The rotating "clock" means that matching is in progress, and if you don't want to be placed in a party queue, you just click on 중지 resp. ä¸*æ*¢ :)

I gues this:

Momentary Invincibility: Invincible for 10 seconds

Gives you a little bit of time to BSOE out if you find yourself in a party with enemies. If you are a healer and end up in a full enemy party then you can also PR out just to be a pain in the a... *evil* :P

It would be nice though if the party matching system would check for clan wars before getting a replacement. That would be brilliant.
