Looking For Group
Tell your guilds what you are up for. It is the signal that drives auto-match, invitations and roster planning.
Opening the hub
Click the cyan LFG pill in the sidebar — or the same row in the mobile menu. It carries a count and pulses while you have characters looking.
This hub is the only place LFG is declared. The activities table is templates and automation; it deliberately has no LFG controls.
The panel is two columns: declare on the left, see your guilds on the right.
Declaring
In Quick LFG — Pick a character and an activity, then choose how long you are looking.
-
Optionally click a game chip. These filter characters — and since a character belongs to one game, that narrows the activity list too.
-
Pick a Character.
-
Pick one or more Activity entries. The list is searchable and grouped by guild, and shows only activities matching that character's game in guilds it belongs to. Each entry carries a cyan badge counting who else is looking right now.
-
Choose how long: 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h or Always. The default is 2h.
-
Start looking.
Now versus Always
| 1h–4h | Always | |
|---|---|---|
| Means | I am at the keyboard right now | Count me in whenever this runs |
| Expires | Yes, after the window | No — until you cancel |
| Badge | Now · 1h 20m | Always available |
| Good for | Tonight's pick-up run | The weekly raid you never miss |
Both count towards a roster. The difference is urgency, not eligibility — a timed declaration is a stronger signal that you can go now.
Your LFG
Underneath, Your LFG lists everything you have declared, soonest-expiring first, each with a state badge and a cancel button. Cancel all clears the lot.
Cancelling only clears the interest flag — any availability you had configured is kept, so re-declaring later is one click. Expired timed windows are cleaned up automatically.
The guild board
On the right, Looking now in your guilds is the planning half. One card per activity across every guild you can see events in, showing:
- How many people are looking, and how many of those are looking now.
- A roster bar — 3 / 5 filled — so you can see at a glance which activity is one person short.
- Avatars of who is looking, with your own characters ringed.
- Join them, which seeds the left column with that activity and a matching character of yours so you only have to pick a duration.
- Event, to create an event from that activity there and then — if you have permission.
Sort by Closest to full (the default), Most looking or Name, and filter by search or game.
Read the board before you declare. "Closest to full" surfaces the activity where your character makes the difference between 4/5 and a run that actually happens.
How the fill count is worked out
The same greedy first-fit rule that auto-match uses: slots are walked in order and each takes the first eligible character not already seated, so nobody is counted twice. A slot with no capacity set counts as one seat. The pool is everyone interested — both timed and always.
If a card says Roster unavailable — some members are out of reach, you lack read access to members in that guild, so TRAX hides the numbers rather than show you an undercount.
What happens after you declare
- Activities with auto-match on can seat you into an existing event, or generate one.
- If matched, you get an event invitation — a Discord DM if your account is linked.
- Officers building a roster by hand see you first in the invite list.
- Your guildmates see you on the board and can build around you.
There is also a /trax lfg slash command if you would rather stay in
Discord.
