[Responded] How Parties work in Player Dungeons - Just some feedback and observations

If you start a party, invite people, and are the party leader, and enter a player dungeon, the shield icon will not show up on the player owned town the dungeon is in, if the rest of the party is on the overland map near the town. There is no "shield" icon to click and go to the party leaders location, on the town.

If you start a party, and invite people, and are the party leader, and enter a player dungeon, and the party enters the town the party leader is in, they have no indicator where you are in, while walking in the town. You have to actually find the dungeon, and enter it.

If however the party leader stands outside the entrance of the dungeon you want to enter, you can see the indicator of where the leader (and other party members are, in town). As well as see a "shield" icon, if party members are on the overland map, to enter the town.

Forgot to try Zone to Friend scrolls :/ (Not tested)

Thank you Turin and Justyn for the help!

 

@Jaesun, Thanks for the post. So we're mainly talking about the behavior of the "shield" icons on the overworld when a party member is in a dungeon. The current design in this case should mirror exactly the behavior for basements. For basements, there is no fast travel to a party member's basement. This is by design so that party members don't get unintended access to another player's basement.

What I'm hearing is that perhaps the behavior for player-dungeons should work differently. Do I have that right?

 

@Lord Subtleton yeah, I was wondering that for Dungeons, if you make a party, it would be nice to actually join them via the Shield icon, from the overland map.

For example, there’s was a fishing contest last night in a players wonderful fishing dungeon! But the entire process to get there required people to join a party and the party leader to stand outside the entrance and us running through the town to them, instead of just quickly joining them in the dungeon via the shield icon from the overland map.

I CAN completely understand this not working for basements. Get that. But in the case for dungeons, it would be great if people could just click the shield icon and quickly join a party in one.

I can’t think of any exploitive reason that if the dungeon owner has the dungeon set to not private and adventure mode?

Thanks for your time!

 

Ok, added issue #64472 for review.
