Guild Wars 2

it’s mind boggling. didn’t start with halloween either, keg brawl is like that too (which reminds me, please keep these two activities all year long).

i have friends. i bet you do too. so when people want to play together, why can’t they?

ANet has stated, I believe, that they actually don’t want people to be able to group up as a coordinated team against what is most assuredly a group of PuG’s as the opponent.

I think there should be the option to enter as a pug and play against other pugs or enter as a group and play against against another group. My husband and I can never play any of these mini games together, be it the Halloween ones or Keg Brawl. We are either matched against each other (sometimes fun) or not in the same game at all.

wait what? that makes as much sense as kids in school not being able to form a team to play a game, because it would be unfair to the kids with no friends on the other team.

whatever happened to “reducing the social barriers in MMOs”? it’s a big turn-off to not be able to play with friends. with friends, it’s an incredibly fun activity. without them, it’s something you’ll enjoy for a couple hours at most and move on.

If you are in a group with someone and you right click their name, you should get an option if you are in the same area to join their instance if they’re in an overflow.

Also, Bobo, could you give me the quote or at least the area where you got that from? I’ll even look it up for you if I can cause that doesn’t sound like anything I’ve heard before, and I pretty much lurk the forum’s and blog’s waters constantly. :P

that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue here, which is to let people play competitive activities (such as reaper’s rumble and keg brawl) with their friends, because right now, it’s mathematically impossible to join the same game as your friend.
