My friends are listed on the main lobby page.  I just wish it was easier to see when they are loading a lobby so we could link up more.

Plenty a time I want to join a lobby my friend's in just to mess around. Instead of having to ask them what lobby they're in, I think it'd be easier to either click on their name, and it would open up their lobby, or have an icon above the lobby that would show a friend's in it.

Can we add onto this to have the players already in lobbies (on a specific lobby screen) with a friend icon next to their name in their class slots?

I have had that issue.  So I see a "Napalm" in a class slot and need to do a UGC profile lookup to try to figure out if he is my friend, or just someone that likes weapons intended to burn things.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could join friends to lobbies? There is a small window on the website itself showing all online players and at the top of it you can see your friends. My idea was that you could click on any of those players and join their lobby - like in steam when you right click on a friend and click "Join Game". idk.. just thought to bring this topic up

Like the current player pool lets you see which friends are online, you should be able to hover over their name and see which lobby they're in.

 

It'll come up as:

 

"User is not in a lobby at this time"

 

"User is waiting for a lobby, /join here/"

 

"User is currently in a lobby" (With optional ability to see map and time spent in the game)

This would be a good idea, then I wouldn't have to check all of the open lobbies manually to find out which one they are in, and then find out by myself that they aren't actually in one.

What do the different colors mean?

 

EDIT: I'm guessing hours!

It would be a verry usefull future so you press on your friend`s name and then click Join or Connect or whatever and get in the lobby where he/she is at the moment.It would be faster then links trough chat or something :^)

Right now it just tells me the number of friends that i have online in tf2center, but why not tell me who these friends are? Why not let me send them an invite to the lobby that i am currently in? There could be more to this friend thing, but ill leave it to you.

The friends you have online should show up in the Online Players box.

The short answer (and unsatisfying) is that you could ask these friends on Steam. I'll take it to the devs though because it somewhat correlates to some other project that's being worked on.
