Fri/Sat pm prime time for European servers and after checking into LA regularly for the last couple of days the dungeon entrance remains stubbornly devoid of players who want to try it.

With no in-game tool (ahem) I take a look on GW2LFG – 185 posts – 2 looking for the new dungeon – 1 No first timers and 1 player looking for a group. Guild members are also not interested.

Every other living story activity and event has been swarming with players during the first weekend but this is so difficult (I’m sure many noticed that even the Devs didn’t finish it before aborting the webcast) and so exclusive that even players who want to try it again are finding it virtually impossible to find a group.

That combined with the issues of people wanting to complete specific achievements and the fact that it is only available for a limited time – all of which have been discussed in other threads, make me think that a serious rethink is needed for this dungeon.

Oh and carts don’t work well before horses – Ingame LFG Tool please

I’m certainly seeing less enthusiasm for this dungeon than I have with the others. Our guild is still doing “guided tour” runs, so every guildmate who wants to see the dungeon, enjoy the story and get the achievements has the opportunity. But there are almost no spur-of-the-moment pick-up groups.

There is already an ingame lfg tool coming in very soon. It’s been datamined (yes, a UI tool has been datamined).

Your complaining has been noted before it was even posted.

It’s not needed soon, it was needed a long time before this dungeon was launched.
I find it quite a sad indictment for a game of this quality that players feel it is necessary to use these forums to look for groups to play specific parts of this content.

All weekend I’ve had a hard time finding a group for this dungeon, and have only got to do it to completion once (last night). At this point, it doesn’t look like I’m going to get those last 3 hardmode-ish achievements due to this dungeon being gone in less than 10 days, and hardly anyone wanting to do it. It’s a kitten ed shame too, as I really find this dungeon very thrilling.

I really hate how everything this year is temporary so far, but an in-game LFG feature would have been extremely helpful as Daroon has said. It’s ridiculous that one hasn’t been put in yet almost a year after this game’s release.
