Guild Wars 2

I understand that because of exploration mode dungeon finder for GW2 might be a little trickier, but a dungeon finder will help this game immensely.

So is there one on the horizon or even in the works?

I see no need in it myself

Me neither. There’s also tons of other threads on this.

I dont think we need something as complicated as that.

Instead, they could add simple Dungeon Specific Chat Channels. Can be joined/left anywhere at any time, and have greatly reduced spam restrictions.

Although, when more ascended gear gets released, we probably wont see people doing the other dungeons much anyway….

Need and want are two different things.

You don’t need a dungeon finder because you can spam for an hour in Lion’s Arch.

But you you only have an hour to play, sometimes you want to be able to push a button to get things done.

Because they release dungeon finder doesn’t mean you need to use it but some other people might like to use it.

Most likely we will , since there are players unhappy and that want this … and like im sure everyone already knows by now , Anet is always trying to make everybody happy.

In my opinion they can just add it , people already dont leave towns much , almost nothing rewarding on open PvE.

I go for JPs and daily outside town, that done? better play Tp and talk in guild chat.

I would love one. Spamming in chat isn’t my thing. WoW dungeon finder was awesome. Fast and efficient. I think it would benefit everyone. People that don’t want to use it wouldn’t have to.

I read in reddit like 2 weeks ago that there was something coming up about that, no clue on exactly what or when though.

A LFG system is really needed, I don´t want to stay in LA spamming LFG for an hour when I can just put me in the queue, wait for a group PLAYING.

There needs to be a LFG system, but if you’re talking about clicking a button, joining a queue, and randomly joining a group with random people from random servers with random levels, random classes. (Ok I’m talking about the WoW lfg system) I vote no.

If you mean just a simple interface of putting a group together, I am all for an in game solution, but until then there is the GW2LFG site.

Gah! You beat me to it!

The LFG group website is about as much of a grouping system as we need. Would I prefer to not have to alt-tab to use it? Sure but it’s as simple as posting on a forum and letting the internet handle the rest.

Yep! Wouldn’t be against an in-game interface though, but if they didn’t add one, I get what I need from within my guild anyway but when I do need to pug (odd hours or what-not) I use the lfg site.

Dungeon finders destroy community and make running a dungeon just a chore. There’s no human factor in it, no real interaction. It devolves into a dying and unproductive community that prefers to just stand around idle waiting for queue. You want a great example? Look at WoW.

And what simpler than put someone in a list and waiting for a group for the dungeon they want. And when there are a group looking for someone, pick them and go. Even from another server with random classes.

IF you are some of those elitists (the same who never put an Mesmer in the group in GW1 PVE but will love the same mesmer on PVP) sorry for you. IT will be more difficult to get what you want. But for me, in a game that every class can have a big role in a party and playerskill is the only real problem… And even if you get the perfect party setup, you can be stuck with kitten players who put their MF gear and delay the party with constant downed and dies…

If as queue you understand put you in a list a force you to join some party sorry, it´s difficult to think in english and sometimes words scapes from my fingers. I wanted to say a pick list.

Exactly. However there are ways to do a LFG system well. If they do implement one in game I’d rather it just be how it was in GW1 and just be an interface showing people that are looking for group, looking for more, and so on and so forth.

But I do agree 100000000x that there should be no random factor and just a hot-join button where you click once, the game organizes a party and throws you guys into a dungeon to run around chaotically. Not only is it unorganized and frustrating, it takes any sense of community out of running dungeons.

Another good point, thanks for adding. As I said I mostly do in-house runs with my guild but I agree there is a simple (correct) way of doing it and I think that if Anet did do something in game they would do it right and keep it simple like GW1 and just have lists of names looking for more, for groups, and organize it neatly in a window in game to allow people to communicate and organize groups from the finder.

I do hope they realize how important it is for a MMO game to actually have a dungeon finder. Not another “improved” LFG tool, but an actual dungeon finder: one that allows you to keep exploring instead of staying in one place spamming “lfm …”

The addition of an automatic dungeon finder was one of the best things for those games because it really helped people find others to play with .

And no, there was no “community ruined” because of it.

If you have a way to contact other players on other servers. Make groups, you can even make some friends and even fixed dungeon groups.

For me, joining different people is not a community breaker.

I find hilarious that there are people who think that spamming “LFG for X thing” in Lions Arch means they’re having a better comunication or interaction than if it were an automated system.

Why hold back people from having randoms, I say let em have it.
The only reason I could see the Elitist being against this format, is they want to control who can get into their group and who can’t and if there is a ability to random a dungeon they loose that ability. What difference did you make, in making your group if that person was not gonna meet you so stringent rules to go with you anyway, they choose to eliminate themselves from the selection processes by choosing to go random. Its actually a time saver for the Elitist Jerk!

I understand some want to have groups that are fluid and everyone just runs it so perfect….well don’t use the random feature…no need to take it away from some that could possible finally get to try the dungeons. Because to them its not about being interactive its about the Elitist being a kitten-hat to them and just maybe they don’t want to have to deal with you all together and this is there light at the end of the tunnel.

Also I love it when people say that these things stop you from playing the game or that people do not talk in the game anymore, what you say is actual the opposite.
I played WoW and used the Daily Random Dungeon every day the ones who did not talk in the chat where talking a mile a minute in a VoiP like ventrilo. I came on every day and said in vent anyone want to run a random with me and tons of people said let me finish this quest. or whatever they was doing at the time the request went out. Not every time, did we end up with a full guild group but it was relatively easy to pug the last spot(s) because of the LFG system they have… the only reason I could see that you could not have fun with this kind of system is you are a kitten-hat to begin with.

People who are saying a LFG tool will ruin the community are just fooling themselves. Selfish players that have already obtained what they needed from an area and see no gain in helping others do the same, ruined it. LFG tool will pickup where they failed.

I have yet to get a response yet, same as every other topic thus far -.-

Thread 32 on this

Some other areas get news/affirmations faster than us. Here is the thread where Robert has confirmed that they are working on it:
