If you add a chatbox for groups people stop using their voicechat in groups where you NEED it. And if you don't own a mic PLEASE PS4 comes with one.

I'll use my mic when everyone shuts up about their personal life and just plays the game. Stop chit chatting and more ppl will communicate. Also quiet down your dog, wife, kids, tv, radio, and all the other nonsense you feel the need to cloud the coms with.

I may have replied to fast for some reason I mistook LFG Chat for Group Chat. I change my answer to yes...

This is incorrect coming from a prior game using a LFG system most of the time no one uses the mic while being in a group the reason is most players are to stuck up just mic shy and rather sit in there guild talking with known friends rather then people they know they may only play with one time.

Just sad this game doesn't have an actual in game friends list not attached to the PSN for most of us don't care to add a total stranger to out private friends list outside of the game by passing the privacy settings we choose to have active for personal reasons.

Having this friends list would gain the ability to not only make friends but put good use towards a LFG system to setup groups for dungeon runs with the correct roles needed to achieve success rather then wasting time as most leave or the required amount of players don't cue up at the time the dungeon que was requested.

Not all players no to click , Healer , Tank for DPS role so the dungeon selects the right players for the job

Not all players HEAL and you get 4 DPS

Not all players TANK and you get 3 healers and 1 dps

LFG - LOOKING FOR GROUP would allow players to choose from the pile or players based on LEVEL , SKILL , and POWER TYPE


LFG > Breton Templar Veteran 1 Healer for any dungeon
LFG > High Elf Sorcerer Veteran 1 DPS for any dungeon EXP grps only

Allowing this would connect good players with great players and help bad player become decent.

Having a mic is a plus but a mic doesn't fix the problem at hand and it doesn't speak of skill.

No need to further complicate the grouping tool that ppl already complain about. Just make changes to the current tool with perhaps some form of your idea

This wouldn't complicate the grouping system in fact this system is capable of replacing that failed system with a working system by allowing players to hand select the players they need to the dungeon they are preparing to run.

main issue with the manual system is most don't know to follow other users to it
not to mention other games in this forum all they have to do is one simple thing

Players join group leader que's the dungeon all players ready up once all players in group have done this is processes the que and off the player go to the dungeon no dif then First person shooter lobbies do it or other well know MMO;s the LFG would just increase the odd's of a beatable run vs a fail run ending in a waste of time.

If you add something else in hopes that it will work better than voice or the grouping tool it complicates the issue you're trying to resolve. Changing what exists is the best approach vs adding something else.

Also consider a lot of people on consoles have met groups of people and pretty much play with ppl on their friends list.
I've been added to almost 92 new people's friends list since June that I've met from the grouping tool or via questing using voice chat. I won't play with ppl who don't use voice chat so remember what works for you may not be of interest to others.

The grouping tool needs a lot of attention which will resolve your concerns and remove the need of trying to type something somewhere in order to form groups.



Lastly when people find groups (based on my in-game experience) we do more than one dungeon. Usually 3 or more until ppl drop out so even if you had this feature, people would still need to actually use it. People prefer other methods and on consoles the primary method is contact existing friends first. I get 5-20 msgs/day when online. Text chat in that sense already is a tool for grouping or IF you're on Xbox one, we can post in our feed that we are off and friends can see the posts on the Xbox one UI and smartglass. Groups form this way as well better than using the grouping tools or if any text chat feature were added.

Not everyone bought a PS4 brand new! So no, not everyone has a mic.

That's on you tho...why wouldn't you buy one for a game that is voice chat only (most games are this way on the console)

You said not all have one so in context I'm replying to your comment. Don't be rude, you're smart enough to interpret the comment I made applies to the users who buy secondhand and choose not to buy a mic but buy games that are voice only.

Again...don't be rude
