We badly need a way to track our friends. I cannot remember all the people I've played with, but I'd like to play with them again. Agree?

U mean something like a friendlist?
I actually play with 3 good friends together and all of them are in my invite-section if I want to invite someone. Maybe a Friendlist with included Private Message Center?
I think it's a bit over the top.

By default, your invite list includes eeryone you've played with.

I agree. There should be a list other than the list of ALL people you have ever played with. I list which could be edited at any time, remove/add players.

The invite list can be edited at any time - both adding and removing players. Please clarify exactly what you would like to see out of a friends list that the invite list doesn't give you.

a friends list above and included within the invite list...

I got some 300 people on my invite list, maybe 3-4 on my black list.. and would have maybe 30-35 on my friends list by this point, of people i would love to play with, and would be my prime choices for tourney invites in most choices... but it isn't worth the hassle of sorting through 300+ names

So you just want your friends to show up at the top of your invite list? If you had the ability to sort your invite list, would that give you the same thing?

I'm not trying to pick hairs, I just want to understand exactly what you expect to get out of a friends list. The reason it's important I know is because if I implemented a friends list but didn't do anything except write "friend" next to their name, it wouldn't get you anything - I doubt that's what you want. In some way, you want friends to behave differently than non-friends, yet you haven't told me what that behavior difference should be.

pretty much, what *I* want out of it.. is a tag to put on someone that will put them at the top of my invite list... like your playing with someone and you think they're hecka cool, so you click their profile, click add to friends, or w/e, and in future they are in the top range of your invite list.

a way to sort the invites list would be useful in the same right, but then you'd have the problem of having to modify your invite list regularly to make sure everyone you want is at an easier to locate place....


i know i could remove players that i don't want to play with, but alot of them i do play with, just not as regularly

I think a friend list should be separate from the invite list. The invite list is nice and all, as it's cool to see who I have played with the most, etc. But as Perrin mentioned, I'd be much more likely to use a specific friend list which only lists people who I have explicitly marked as friends. The way I envision it, when creating games you would then be able to switch back and forth between viewing your invite list and your friends list.

Not to make this any more confusing... Well I guess I am, lol. Maybe the friends list could also include a "who's logged in now" function. Maybe this already exists...?
