Hello everyone! The Developer team is excited to announce the release of our Party Update.

In this update we have addressed a lot of player feedback over the last few years and are happy to reveal the following new features:

New Commands:
  • Added /party to show a menu with general party information/settings
  • Added /party invites to display pending invites that your party has sent out
  • Added /party requests to display party invites you have received
  • Added /party revoke <IGN> to revoke a party invite
  • Added a friendly fire mode (/party friendlyfire) to parties that allows you to toggle whether or not you want to be able to deal damage party members

Quality of Life Additions:
By High Demand
  • After many people asking, we have now added support for the party leader to join a game and have the entire party join the queue
    • This is done by right clicking on a game in the games menu
    • Please note that if you’re joining a dungeon or gauntlet and the player is lacking access to this minigame, they will be removed from the queue
  • In response to another popularly requested feature, when the party leader goes offline, instead of disbanding the party, it is now transferred to the second oldest member in the party
  • Similar to guilds and friends, we have also added the option to enable a notification sound when you receive a party message (enabled via /party)
  • Additionally when you are in a party with more than one person on your world, a component will appear on your scoreboard that displays the health and level of the party members on your current world
  • Phoenix chat alias has been changed to /ph from /p. This should allow fwer accidental chat fails after much demand from players.

Party Invites
  • Players can now create a party by doing /party invite <IGN>
    • You also have the ability to specify multiple IGNs by doing /party invite <IGN 1> <IGN 2> …
  • Invites are also now clickable, allowing you to join a party without having to type the party accept command
  • Additionally, party invites now expire after 5 minutes

Party Chat and Party Member Management
  • We have removed the party member limit
  • The /party members list now also displays where each party member is (similar to friends and guilds)
    • This list is also sorted to show the party leader at the top now
  • The party chat colour has been changed from green to yellow
  • /pa has also been added as an alias to /party
  • We have also renamed /party abandon to /party disband
  • Finally, a bug with removing players from a party using their IGNs or nickname not working has been fixed

That is it for this update, we hope that we have addressed all your suggestions for the parties system. However, like with all our updates, we would love to hear any and all feedback regarding the changes we have made.

Thank you everyone, and we hope you enjoy this long awaited update!

Can this be abused if a player ends up being afk'd throughout a game but still gets auto-queued whilst the party leader continues to queue a game up a few times?

This is a valid concern, Deniz and I will look into this one and see what we can do.

wondering if there should be a grace period if the leader logs off - 1 min perhaps for relogs?
Currently there’s a five minute grace period between a Party Leader logging off, and ownership being transferred. It’s also the same for invites and regular member log off events.
