Thanks. This has been posted several times but I'm glad someone has brought it back up. I keep repeating on the PvE server for folks to start using this instead of flooding the chat channels with lfg. This just makes more sense to me! 

I was whispered several times that this doesn't reflect the Vanilla feel of the game, but I would bet almost everyone has somekind of addon that makes playing easier. ie questie, aux, onebag, etc.

​Does this have a custom chat search functionality now? I remember that when choosing between vQueue and CallToArms way back when, I chose the latter because it had a custom chat keyword search box that I couldn't find in vQueue.

I remember on Kronos forum somebody mention other LFG addon, which not just using addon comm channel, but also monitors world channel for people who spams LFG/LFM and advertise your group from time to time.

call to arms ? http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4020-CallToArmsLFGAddOn.html

Vqueue is better. Has more updates and is still being worked on, Call To Arms is a dead end project.
By today Vqueue has grown a lot on Elysium servers.

For anyone saying it deters from the vanilla experience. I beg to differ. Having an addon to find people WITHOUT being summoned to the instance is a fantastic idea. Makes it a smoother process without clogging up chat. (which was a nightmare back in the day) so thank you very much.

i actually like to find on general chat

I hear you, but why not use both chat and the addon for better reach? Beside showing players looking for dungeons, Vqueue has it own chat. Vqueue makes /1 the Vqueue chat and all other channels get +1 number, /2 for general etc.

is it possible to make it so that when you press the "fix channel order" is automatically activated commands:

/leave world

/join world

/leave lookingforgroup

/join lookingforgroup

/leave vqueue

/join vqueue

just tired of every time to click on the macros after rejoining the game, it would be very convenient

I have in fact tried the most recent version and it still doesn't have a chat keyword search box, so I still don't see how it's better than CTA. What am I missing?

Pretty nice. Impressive work, but hope this kind of addons is banned in the future.
Nothing against the creator but to preserve the spirit of vanilla as it is.

 

It's easy. Questie breaks vanilla spirit? Don't use it. It's not your business how exactly people having fun.

I see, I didn't realize it was still being developed since the last update was over a year ago, the thing with the keyword search is that you can (as I did in CTA which I edited to parse all possible global channels) easily find all those non-dungeon groups, such as various rep farming, attunements, pvp raids, etc.

What are you on about?

Questie and CTA/vQueue are addons. Your examples of flying,dungeon browser and heirlooms are built into the game (retail).

This is something users have to manually download if they want it without breaking your game.

You hoping addons getting banned is just stupid..

I guess we should ban Questie and LunaUnitFrames and CTA and Aux and CastModifier and TomTom and PowerAuras too since it's "not the spirit of vanilla" ?

 

It's a fucking addon, nobody is forcing you to use it. It doesn't provide additional functionality, it doesn't do things automatically, it doesn't teleport you to the dungeons

 

 literally all it does is read the chat for you and notify you of certain phrases

Great work.

An obvious improvement would be to have a "compact" or "minimized" mode.

The window size would be roughly the same as the size as KTM / DPS meters and it would show only the current groups for whatever instance you have selected.

The regular window takes up the whole screen, with the compact mode you could keep an eye on whatever groups popup while still playing the game.

Could you replace "Mouseover to see message" with message itself shortened to fit into that field. Many messages is short enough so you can see them right away.
