LF "sewer team" = old Sewer Network in Atlas, right?

I see a lot of people /broadcasting in Atlas Park that they are looking for a "sewer team". Are they talking about the old Sewer Network? Hasn't that been made largely obsolete by the new Death From Below underground sewer trial?

They're probably asking *for* that trial.

See my Guides and Tutorials

I'd assume they mean DFB, but a few probably don't know about it and are old timers actually thinking the sewers are still cool. Best to ask if you're not sure, you might help someone out.

Fairly certain most are just looking for DFB teams (if they're not, they probably don't know about DFB!), and may or may not know about the 'LFG' window.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I've seen a few advertising for 'Classic sewers team forming' but the rest generally all say sewer team lfm when meaning the DfB.

I'm betting they are referring to Death From Below. I know when I say it that is what I mean. I'm pretty sure many people don't know about the LFG tab, because for three days now I've entered the queue for over 30 minutes and never got into a Trial.

You've broadcasted for people to join the queue, right? Because that's the only way people learn to use something, is that someone tells them to do it that way.

I have this macro (/macro DfB "text here") on every character I plan to play DfB with:

/b Queuing up for DfB...lots of fun, lots of XP, lots of baddies, some badges and SOs...come join me! Click "LFG" on your chat window, select "Death from Below", and click "Queue!"

I have hit the LFG to enter the queue many times. I once sat there for about 2 hours without getting into a group for the trial. I did this while watching about 12 different sewer runs come and go.

I know I could have exited the queue and joined one of those groups, but I wanted to see if the LFG queue was even working, and as far as I could tell, it was not.

So then I asked my friend to make a group and make sure that he allowed in-progress joining and that the group was listed as "open" and he sat there for about 45 minutes without anyone joining the group. So we asked a few other friends to hit the LFG tab and try to enter the queue, and after 30 more minutes we gave up, none of us could get into a group with the LFG queue, no one could get others to join our group by making an open group in the LFG tab.

The only way I can see to get into a sewer trial is to just join a group and then when you have all the people that you want, hit the queue. At least that works.

Okay, so then it really is just a case of folks not knowing about the LFG trial queueing mechanism. Maybe the tutorial should start by forcing players to (symbolically) queue themselves up for it first so that they know what the dang thing is!

I'm on Virtue and I've queued myself up for DFB many, many times and rarely have I had to wait more than a few minutes to get added to a team. It is far more efficient than trying to form a team before-hand (though the ability to queue up as a team is great). I was just sort of puzzled why people were spending so much time using the old /broadcast mechanism to do something that the LFG window does much more efficiently.

And I didn't want to engage in Yet Another "Use the LFG Window" exchange when there was every possibility they were forming for the old Sewer Network. At this point I think that 90% of all chat bandwidth in Atlas Park these days involves "sewer teams" and the means to form them.

THey are referring to, I think, the fact that most people don't know you don't need to enter the queue in a team. That if you just enter it solo, it can form a team for you.
