I'm writing my impressions and suggestions as for the "party window" interface we have ingame. I'll just start by saying that my main character is a healer and i use that interface a lot either for healing or buffing various friends/party mates. Ill split my points so they can be bashed or approved by anyone here easier.
a) The "lock" function should have an option to always be it on or off. I ask this because if you double click fast enough someone for a quick heal or something; you popup a private chat windows, which in turn before you try to close it, let the person die and wonder why you didn't heal them. Each single time i am inside a group, i "must" remember to lock it.
This one is also very repetitive since a while in about every group i play: "sp please" "sp me please". Could the sp be displayed as the health for all group members? Could really improve the party's play as you could actually see when your teammates are about to go out of sp and take a small break from the pulling or whatever. c) This suggestion is mostly for buffing class like myself: Could it be possible to make it clearer which class is everyone in that window. Ideally, with a small class icon before their name. I'm asking because in medium to large group it's near impossible to notice. So i end up impos.manus casters or just sacrament a rune knight..? So in the end i just end up not using any "specialty" buffs i have because it's a big headache and limit my usefulness for the party.
d) Like the friend list, could you add a small text on the window title bar that shows in example group_name("x"/12) so we can easily see the count and available spots without the need to always count them by hand.
e) When the "leader" leave or get disconnected or whatever else.. Could the leadership be passed to someone else inside that group automatically? It's troublesome/anooying on many occasions that you have to reform each time.
f) Okay this one doesn't concern the "party window" itself but ill suggest it anyway. When people form group, the one with leadership open a chat room to recruit. People log inside that chat room: would be really nice to be able to right-click a name and have an option to directly send an invite to that user.
well thats it for now, feel free to debate/discuss any points if you feel like it.
thanks.
