Overview
The Team-Up Teleporter functions to allow individual players, small groups, or entire leagues to enter a queue for various game content. It is also referred to as simply LFG, due to the window it appears in. The Teleporter was implemented with Issue 20 and the introduction of Incarnate Trials.
Using the Teleporter
On the character's chat window is an "LFG" option. Selecting that will open the LFG Window, which allows a solo character or the leader of a team or league to enter into the queue. Queues can be entered randomly, which lets the game place a character or group in the first-available activity, or specific activities can be selected. The LFG window shows the average wait time for people in the queue.
Bug! The queue's wait time includes all teams or leagues that are full before entering the queue, as is the popular tradition. Thus, all of those players' wait time is only a handful of seconds, which artificially decreases the average wait time by a large amount. A player may see an average wait time of three minutes but could be queued for half an hour, an hour, or even more! Development is aware of this side-effect and hopes to correct it in the future, with no timeframe guaranteed.
Joining the queue as an Open Group grants an extra Astral Merit for Incarnate Trials and the Warmth of Prometheus buff power to all league members. Open Groups allow other players or teams that are looking for group to join that team or league. Note that it is fairly common for team sorting, and even team/league leader, to be rearranged randomly when joining as an Open Group. Additionally, note there is no extra reward for joining Death from Below as an Open Group.
Joining the queue as a Closed Group means only the members already in the team or league are allowed on that particular activity. Closed Group must be selected every time a group wishes to join the queue (and remain closed).
Accessible Content
All Task Forces and Strike Forces are available in the Team-Up Teleporter. What is selectable depends on whether a character meets the minimum requirements to complete that activity.
Additional content accessible from the Team-Up Teleporter includes:
- All Incarnate Trials
- Non-Incarnate Content:
- Holiday-Themed Content:
