Feedback #1: YES.
Feedback #2: Great call on "save info". Is it an expire-able cookie?

Two quick observations:
If you're not logged in, there is no indication that logging in is required (takes you to main forum page).
Maybe add a section to the intro that explains how this is different than destinyLFG, what objective they serve or what they facilitate different.

I can't wait to play with it and use it more :)

I love this feature! I really like having a summary on the forum!

The summary is a little difficult to parse quickly. Perhaps it could be helped by a couple well placed line breaks? It would be nice to have the date & available slots on the second line. Perhaps there could be small icons representing the activity & difficulty instead of a text description (to save space / make it easier to understand at a glance). Perhaps the event title could be on a separate line too? (see the last "Need Help!" entry for example)

Something like this, only w/ the [VoG], [CE], [WS], [NF] replaced by an icon (or maybe just use abbreviations)

(what levels is the weekly strike at? is 26 one of them?)

It might be nice if there was a way to link a scheduled event to a forum thread. Maybe just provide a field to hyperlink to a thread? That way you could hit the link & discuss particulars.

I'm just full of ideas (& probably bad ones at that).

This is totally rad! Definitely will help since I really only interact with DBO. It wasn't immediately obvious to me that the "Guardian" field in the form meant GT/PSN name, and by default it had filled in my forum username, which is slightly different. The only UI suggestion would be to leave it blank by default, since the subsequent forms show "gamertag" in that box.

How does the time change work? Next to where I added a time it has (America, Los Angles) but I live in Denver. And when Vagueness checked it out it posted 1500 instead of 2000. So does the time need to be adjusted to PST or enter in what time I'd like the event to start in MST and then it does its magic when others view it? On another note when viewing the forums from safari on my iPhone the fire team builder link in the top right as well as the sidebar are both missing, don't know if thats by design or the settings on my phone are wonky.

Thanks,

I like the feature.

I don't like that it requires logging in. I know that requirement lets you auto-convert the time zone, but I'd rather be able to see upcoming events as a guest and do the PST/EST conversion myself.

Also, can you add a 'note' field or something for people signing up? So people can list their alts or weapons or if they'll be on early or late or etc.

Don't have events disappear immediarely once they start. I have no idea who may have signed up for the vault of glass today at the last minute

Just wanted to everyone know that we have pushed a few updates to the FTB.

Patch Notes:

• Removed login restriction. Everyone should be able to browse events regardless of their login status. Default time zone for non-logged-in users is "America/Los_Angeles". You must still be logged-in to create events and RSVP.
  
• Events now disappear from the lists 2 hours after their scheduled start time.
  
• Users can no longer create events more than 3 months out (Raga was creating events for the discovery of Alpha Halo…).
  
• Fixed some errors preventing the "quick RSVP" button from appearing on new events.

I realize we want to keep the listing as de-cluttered as possible, but for those of us with a consistent schedule knowing up front which day of the week an event takes place is almost more helpful than knowing the date. 9am Saturday vs Monday, or 7pm Thursday vs Friday. The first thing I do when looking at the list of events is pull up a calendar :)

Maybe that is a "far future" update, to add a calendar view. Can you have that magically sync to my phone as well? ;-)

I don't know if it already does this, but email notification whenever someone RSVPs would be nice. Or at least a checkbox to request email notification like when we post on the forums?

How am I supposed to surreptitiously tell my peeps that the party's started?

I see a "Late Night Raid" listed for 9:30AM, when the description text (builder-typed) says 12:30AM EST.... It appears the math is right, but the AM/PM logic isn't following. No biggie, just something I noticed.

AWESOME tool BTW! Can't wait to make use of it myself (non-consistent playing schedule is prohibitive), but it is certainly helpful to see if there's anyone available. :D

I love that this is getting so much use! I plan on using it more myself.

I see that the length of the list is starting to get long (and hopefully even longer, yeah?). While I do have a level 7 (?) character on the xbox platforms I don't really play there unless PSN is down (all last week). A checkbox to just show me upcoming events based on platform (ps4, 350, xb1, ps3) could be helpful. (does anyone here even play on ps3?)

Here are a few that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet. I thought I'd send them your way because I'm sure you are completely out of new ideas and suggestions to implement, and your free time is burning holes in your pocket :)

The three things I'd love to see sometime in the future:

A) Ability to pm/email participants
B) Automatic email updates (e.g. updates when a thread has a replay). At minimum I'd like to know:
C) Clean mobile interface

------------------------------------

Ability to pm/email participants

As an event creator, I'd like to be able to quickly contact those that have signed up via an active means, instead of a passive means such as creating a thread in hopes that they see it, or updating the description and hope that they catch it.

Either via a PM system (which I don't think *BO has?), or perhaps via email. Might require a participant to check a box stating they don't mind the creator emailing them. Maybe it could be anonymous emailing?

------------------------------------

Automatic email updates

I'd love to be informed via email of the following actions in each situation:

As an event creator:
1. When my team is maxed
Bonus:
2. When someone joins
3. When someone leaves

As an event participant:
1. If the event changes time
2. If the event changes description
Bonus:
3. Reminders for events coming up (there are substitute mechanisms for this though)
4. When my team is maxed

Those items above the "Bonus" lines I consider to be information that would likely cause me to take action, or get me to come to the forum to post. Those things under the bonus would just be "nice to haves", but wouldn't impact how I interact with the system.

Use Cases:
I spent a lot of yesterday as an event creator refreshing the page simply to see if anyone else had signed up.

Use Case:
A few guys on the forum this morning were wondering if an event they were signed up for had been canceled. It'd suck even more if they hopped online at the last minute only to realize the even was canceled the day before, or the time had been bumped up an hour.

Of course, have it all be customizable such that I can pick and choose only those things I'd like to be informed of :)

------------------------------------

Clean mobile interface

I probably don't need to say this, but having a slicker mobile interface would be helpful. As is I have to do a lot of zooming and scrolling to read the info on my phone, and I have to do it all again when I refresh the page.
