What there needs to be is a ready checkbox in towns next to a party members name in the party box. This way the leader knows when everyone is rdy to go. I don't know how much time is wasted asking rdy? rdy? how about now? now? rdy?

This feature is in alot of other online games I play and it seems like an easy implementation as it doesn't have to have any functionality behind it just a visual.

Forgive me if this has already been suggested I did a couple searches and yeilded no viable results.

This would be a really nice feature. How about making it impossible to zone/enter a mission unless everyone has clicked the "I'm ready" box as well?

Probably something like this (attachment).

This should have been in original release, it's a great party feature.

Appearently you sir have never played Gunbound or GunZ. Both of these games had a "ready up" system. Basically, you couldn't start a game until everyone clicked ready. This often would result in problems because people would never click ready and then the group leader would be new to the game and not know how to kick, blah blah blah. Time consuming and annoying. Having a visual indication of ready is fine with me however please god please don't require that a party be all ready before the leader can click 'Enter mission'

Just make it where you can check 'ready' , but can swtill start the game if they didn't.

Great idea, simple and efficient.

(On the fence about whether you should/should not be able to start mission before everyone checks their box.)

Fate, you sir are an idiot, try reading his post again, maybe CAREFULLY this time.

First off, he said there was plenty of games with the system implemented, and for some reason you feel the need to post some anyways?

Secondly, if you read it CAREFULLY you realize h said there wasnt any funcionality to it, only visual, which means that the game would not require the party to all be ready in order to enter a mission area, it would only SHOW that people are ready.

but rather than having some checkmark, why not have a button at the bottom like the "Leave" or "Enter Mission" button which when you press it, your name/health/party bar turns a different color, it would catch the attention of other party members as well, if you are the only name not changed in color you think "o shyt im ready too, oops should have clicked it"

but none the less

Sir, your trolling skills are incredible. Are you using an elite?

This would be a great feature.

I usually ask the reverse, is anyone not ready / need more time. Wait about 30 seconds worth of crickets when someone yells after you've zoned, you id someone who really isn't paying attention.

Even better I like it!! Because as you said it draws more attention a little checkmark may not, but a different color now you would notice that.

Yes, this has been suggested a few times and really should be in the game. For quests it should only be a reference for the team to know when to start, for a mission it should be mandatory for everyone to click in.

For those that question forcing ready for missions, I reckon it should be this way so that:
1)Trigger happy leaders can't start the mission with people still fixing their skills
2)Idlers can be rooted out before the mission starts
3)If an impatient leader kicks you because you're not ready, chances are that group is going to fail anyway
