LFG is being removed?
Today, going on the bungie website, i noticed that the LFG was replaced with the fireteam finder. The only way to access LFG now is to first choose to either create or view fireteams, and then at the very bottom of the page is a small button that brings you to LFG, stating "Previous experience is available during Beta", which makes it sound like they will permanently remove the LFG once fireteam finder leaves beta, leaving players with no way to find fireteams for activities using first party tools. Very disappointing to see, since the discord is generally slower and more effort for quickly finding fireteams for simple activities like GMs or basic raids (due to no join limits on open posts, and needing to dm and reply join codes for closed posts).

Does anyone know if the LFG will remain in existence, or is this just a hollow threat?

To be clear you're talking about the removal of the web based fireteam finder once the in game fireteam finder is "finalized" right? I don't see what the issue is considering the web based one will be pointless if the feature is fully implemented in game, it'll also stop the web service from being abused to sell "services."

Also for PC discord is way faster, less effort, and usually better quality of players considering you can have it open in the steam overlay and is always accessible with a quick shift tab, literally just have to copy and paste a join code into chat, and the 3 steps required to use the lfg discord is generally enough to filter out people with less than 2 brain cells looking for a carry.

Steam's overlay had a large update towards the end of last year and you can set it so that Steam remembers you leaving a discord and DIM tab open so every time the game starts they be logged in and ready go all the time.

Fireteam Finder IS the first party tool. Whilst I prefer the older version myself there's absolutely no reason for Bungie to maintain both of them.

At least as is it isn't being fully implemented as there's no way to juts get a list of all posts in the new Fireteam Finder, you have to go back and forth checking each individual activity.

The new Fireteam Finder is also already being used by sellers and if anything this is worse for the genuine users as it's now practically impossible to identify these posts before you join them.

No, I am talking about them removing the web-based LFG and replacing it with the web-based fireteam finder - the unusable version that exists in game

They are not going to add LFG to the game, they seem content with fireteam finder

None of that is true. Join codes are objectively slower than invite support, and is much higher effort since channels aren't sorted properly, and if you're in 100+ servers like most chronically online individuals, just finding the lfg in the list can be time consuming. Also, web discord is still very slow and bad, and the steam overlay is notorious for security vulnerabilities, so just using the app is better anyway.

As far as player quality, there isn't much of an improvement, there's a pretty equal balance of terrible and good players on both, and that's also unimportant for simple activities like i mentioned. Any clueless player can do a GM, looking for things like challenge runs is better done elsewhere anyway. Also, removing the LFG from the web will force many more players onto the discord, further reducing the player quality, if it was any better before.

How? You can't type in your own titles into the in game fireteam finder.

Bots can whisper you the ad and then kick you as soon as you join the post, basically the same as the auto dm bots on the bungie website.

Do they not serve the same purpose? Right now you can go into the game and select an activity to find a group for and while it has its "quirks" it still let's people find each other to group up.

My experience with in game lfg is: go through the many menus to find a group and click and it hoping the leader is actually there and bothers to accept my request and then wait for everyone to ready up and then it kicks everyone to orbit and re-adds them and then launches the activity versus just copy pasting a code with people ready to go usually already in the activity with minimal waiting, menus, or loading screens.

I wouldn't know since that's all I use discord for but I'd either suggest grouping servers into folders or start cutting servers you don't actually use.

I won't disagree with there still being bad players and both sides but if someone has bothered to get used to using the d2lfg discord then chances are they're a little more dedicated to being the best they can be rather than the random console blueberries chilling on their couch using whatever build they've been vibing with in low difficulty activities. And leaders are more proactive in ensuring they've got good players since its so easy and fast to replace people with a join code rather than go through fireteam finder again.

Can you even be whispered to on PC? I don't think I've seen a random whisper since the move to steam because battlenet had a similar chat system to the consoles and allowed for random chat but steam only has chat between friends and does epic even have chat? I miss salty crucible messages. :(

You can't enter a custom title in the fireteam finder, which makes it useless for filtering players by custom restrictions or provide additional information. For this reason, it's completely unusable

I have only used fireteam finder exactly once to test it, and indeed this is the exact experience. It's unbelievably slow and inconvenient. I am talking about the LFG, which has no such problems. You simply join a post, and instantly the host can click invite to invite you. It's functionally identical to the discord version, but completely omits exchanging join codes for direct invites, which is objectively quicker and more convenient in every permutation, especially for closed posts that require a dm rather than a single click. It sounds like you haven't used the LFG

This simply isn't true. There is no meaningful difference in player quality between LFG and discord. There is a massive difference between LFG or discord and fireteam finder, with only incompetent or new players using fireteam finder, though. Also, for every new player who doesn't know about the discord, there's an old player who stopped learning and improving long ago, giving into arrogance and habit, being significantly less useful than a new player willing to learn.

On top of this, cycling players on discord is much harder, since you cannot kick people from the voice channels (that many prefer to use), and after kicking someone, you have done so after actively giving them your discord account, practically inviting creeps and harassment. This actually makes the discord quite a dangerous place, especially for players of frequently targeted groups.

All versions of the game use the same chat system. It allows for clan, fireteam and whisper chats (and maybe one more i forget?) It's standardised and cross platform. You can disable whispers from non-friends or from anyone in settings

Yeah that's what I was talking about, the difference between discord and in game fireteam finder, I imagine that the official web based lfg is similar to discord since it requires some work on the user's end to set up.

It was standardized but then they moved to steam and I think it broke for years there probably until they moved to a unified bungie name system.

... Which is just another problem with them removing LFG from the web

Whatever changed, it's been working as it does now since at least 2021, which is when i swapped to PC
Mez Koo 12 ABR 2024 a las 4:06 
2021 is when they implemented bungie names to unify cross play so that lines up.

"You can't enter a custom title in the fireteam finder, which makes it useless for filtering players by custom restrictions or provide additional information. For this reason, it's completely unusable"

Its also in beta for this reason, That is a bug report and a fix away from being in a usable state... But hey, GOOD reason to toss it in the garbage right?

I myself find it useless because of this reason, But I also recognise its a LFG tool and it needs some work. Once its got this work done it will be good.

Oh wait but there is the trash bin. Lets do a *web tool* wtf vs an ingame tool. Ingame is clearly better in all intents and purposes... But you want to hold onto your web tool.
