/who all LFG unreliable
 

Over the last few days I have noticed a few times when a /who all lfg 35 45 will list players whether they are lfg or not. Ive had others in my groups confirm the problem. It also seems to get better on its own, even in the same session, unknown why or how.

I have been having issues with incorporating LFG into the query as well, no matter where I stick it.

It will probably include people who have the letters "LFG" consecutively in their name, like if your name was Olfga or something

Nah, its intermittent. Like it's working for me now in ECT, but last night in SolB when I was looking for a replacement it was listing everyone online, not everyone that was LFG.

Noticed this bug as well. It seems completely random, and it fixes itself sometimes.

But with no globals, this seems like VERY shitty bug.

Yea, threads like this don't help me. I need exact steps to replicate.

LFG works a little strange because it actually uses the "guildid" field of the who all struct, using a variable of 0xFF.

I know the client re-uses variables for /who all, because I've seen it send old data on who all requests before.. which may be part of the issue, and thus unfixable. We'll see though.

I cannot replicate it. Sometimes when I do /who all LFG it doesn't use the LFG so it just does a /who all. When that happens, no matter what you do, it won't pick up LFG in your query. /who all 50 cleric LFG will not show LFG clerics.

It is completely random from what I have seen, and I've seen it about 2 or 3 times.

I was in sol b, though it wasn't just messed up there obviously if I was using all in the query. I cannot think of anything I did prior to seeing it that would have caused it. I was in the zone for like 6 hours once when it happened so I doubt its from zone bugs or anything like that.

/who all LFG isn't even that important - not everyone remembers to put themselves LFG and you can usually send a tell to a person in a nearby zone at a nearby level. That's how we did it back in the day.

/who 40 50 cleric lfg all

is my standard query for when I am looking for a replacement.

Last night while in SolB the query just got me a bunch of random class/level players all over Norrath. I moved the lfg around in the string but it still did the same thing

Had to do a /who 40 50 cleric all and whisper people if they wanted my spot. :confused:

This format works correctly:

/who lfg all 40 50

This does not not:

/who all lfg 40 50
