Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest that getting in a group be easier. The “Looking for a Group” tab in the Contacts pane obviously doesn’t work. As is stands now, other than that, the only way to get in a group is to read the “Map” or “All” chat and until you see someone else advertise for a group that you would like to join, or advertise for yourself. But this usually ends up in getting the – “Your message was suppresses due to excessive messaging” thing before you can actually get into a group.

My Suggestion: Make grouping up more like Guild Wars 1 where you could post your willingness to create or join a party or see others that need more members for their party in another window pane.

Reason 1: Grouping up is the only way to do some things in PVE (Fractals/Dungeons) and seeing as there are no Heroes or Henchmen (which forces you to use party’s) much of the time it is impossible to find a party and is very frustrating.

Reason 2: As proof of this players are having to use third-party websites for Groups/partys. (ex. )

Have a LFG chat channel that shows people that are LFGs. Players can type LFG and their link would be posted on that channel and players can mouse over on that link to show the players in their party. Players can click that link to have options to join their party or whatever. Ex: player types – LFG Champion hunting – channel shows – Player1 Looking For Group Champion hunting

This channel can have quick LFG or Show LFG buttons to make things easier and command line commands also.

I recall reading that they didn’t want to implement an extensive LFG tool because they believe it would remove any communication between players as they would simply party up and run the dungeon without speaking or forming strategies.
Seems really silly to me since that would be no less social than having to stand in LA going “LFG AC Exp P1,2” and having people join your group.

Besides, the design of the dungeons encourages talking and collaboration. So personally I think it would be a great idea. But unfortunately I don’t think they’ll implement one any time soon.

How about a window with all the dungeon buttons on, then you click on the dugeon you want, and see a list of players wanting to go to that dungeon with a mini chat bar to talk to other players.

The best way to solve this is to implement a proper Dungeon Finder, not an improved lfg tool. As it is right now, it takes hours to find a group for Arah explorable.

Like wow? I can’t tell you how much I hated what blizzard did, the amount of leavers, and kittens you meet randomly really diminished the experience of dungeons. Ppl joining guilds for there ranks, using them for the benefits and nothing else. And I played on RPGs server moon glade kitten Most anti-social mmo I ever played, and I’ve played a lot.

i would suggest using the same system warhammer online used…it never failed me.

Like pluzoid said, automatic dungeon finders are a very bad idea. Anyway, Anet already said they are making a new system for this so its just a matter of time now.

Dungeon Finders are a very good idea and have proven their usefulness in other mmo games. I’d very much rather play for three hours than waste three hours only in trying to find a group.
