Guild Wars 2

So the patch is live, did anyone get access to the LFG tool? Mind sharing screenshots, impressions, bugs, or anything?

I’m not sure; pretty sure it’s a random deal. But I know I didn’t get it and I run 14 dungeon paths daily along with every meta event – that doesn’t qualify me though; which is probably the most ignorant thing I’ve ever seen because I do PUG most of my paths.

Its patch day, patch day
Gotta get down on patch day

I currently download the patch with about 50kbit/s so it takes a while
Better question: do you get banned if you want to sell spots there or do we still have to use gw2lfg? If we dont use any afk spots or glitches it should be allowed. Can anyone tell me?

There is a “report” feature, guaranteed if you’re going to sell spots you’ll get flagged pretty quickly. The only question is, are the reports read by a human, or by The Bot That Shall Not Be Named.

Nice one on the report feature, Anet. Now it will be impossible to sell paths.

I don’t think Anet cares about spot-selling. If it’s just a bot removing your listing you can always just put it back up.

I bet people are gonna start reporting elitists aswell.

Report all the bearbows and GS mesmers.

If there will be a bot behind who delet my posts for a while I’ll start to report all “exp or kick” groups for ranging lupicus

staff guardian lfg tequatl

Oh my god the people at the Tequatl fight are kittening horrendous

Staff guardians walking around in mid range just banging auto attack like their lives depended on it, bless their hearts

I think they should implement a feature to judge PuGs competency. Gear/build check, lifetime # of runs per path, etc.

inb4 that’s “elitist”

number of runs per path would be great

But there are people who have been bearbows for 2k hours and have run dungeons countless times.

All we need is gear check.

Yes ! My chance to report all the path sellers ! In

/inspect would make pugging about 1000% better

If it was made available for gems, it would let you see all of their gear, but none of the stats. The only reason you should ever need to inspect someone is to make your character look like their’s.

That’s…a response I normally see from bads and casuals about the idea of /inspect. I mean, I know DnT is all about being Masters of SAB these days, but wow.

There was a livestream about it earlier today.

Only things I noticed different from gw2lfg -

• You can see the classes of all the party members in the post
• If anyone in your party is under the level requirement for some of the dungeons, no one in your party will be able to use lfg for those dungeons. (to “avoid confusion”)
• If you find a post for the same content as yours, you can automatically join that other group, skipping the approval process through the “merge party” feature.

lololololololololololololol

On a related note, how useful is an lfg tool when only a small portion of the population have access to it?

That sounds just horrible.

You forgot cleric guardians and condition warriors.

Well… I guess we know who will be flagging all your posts.
Unless that was sarcasm! I hope…..

Hahhaha u again , yea it was a joke at least u smart enough to notice it .

Flamethrower engis.

dont forget staff necros, pistol thieves, cleric eles.

I’d like to do bad things IRL to the person who popularized the craptastic engi flamethrower build

I got Beta access, it’s extremely slow and it doesn’t find any groups. Only 2 AC and one CoF…

Well, maybe because there are like 100 people using it. Duh.
It looks pretty nice, but there’s no distinction between story and explorable so you have to be specific in your post. You can also automatically merge parties. Doesn’t look so bad…
You can lfg for AC CM and TA only for now.
E: all dungeons just unlocked for me it means it’s level restricted…. at least I think O.o last time I checked it I was downleveled maybe it was that.

That merge party feature must be removed, please!

I just got in today. Not many groups… maybe only 1-2 for all the dungeons. Maybe it’s because i’m looking at this in overflow (probably not).

It’s taking like 2-3 seconds to load each dungeon to see any groups (most times there are none)

Broadicea.8294:

Permastability popularized it, just like we have d/d eles still trying to abuse a sigil of battle bug that hasn’t existed in months. Why they’re running dungeons as flamethrower, no1 knows.

I got a decent COE group today. And by decent I mean we managed to do Destroyer in 2 phases, didn’t totally wipe on everything, and there weren’t any bearbows.

Which is about as much as anyone can expect from a pug anyway.

Staff… guardians in Teq? Seriously?

I do 1500 damage with staff autoattack. Mad?

Oh, it seems the lfg tool shows the classes that are in the groups listed. Amazing, no more joining groups with 2+ necro.

what ? seriously ?
that is one hell of a good feature right there mate !

On the other hand people need to learn how to kitten read before getting into a group !!
if it says speedrun why you enter with a class we don’t want for that particular run jesus kitten read b4 entering and save us all the trouble, the kicking, the moaning, the reporting and all the QQ they will do afterwards just because they didn’t kitten read 1st !!!!

You should be able to disable party merge tbh. I can see how it would be a pain for sellers and so on. 2 man party merges and trolls the group by kicking everyone.

TY for this devs. This is the best update for the game since launch. The new tool is incredible and it works really well. Grouping up for dungeons is so much easier now. Great job!

I get quite a bit of delay for parties to show up when clicking through the different dungeons to search for groups that persists even when there is no loading icon beside the dungeon name, which is unfortunate because there’s no option to show all LFG across all dungeons similar to GW2LFG, so you get a delay once for each dungeon…= >1 minute ‘waiting’ for groups to appear.

Errr sorry but I honestly couldn’t care less about sellers… I’m confident I’ll just be able to kick idiots I don’t want in my party in time, anyway. They could add a confirmation before the merge, though. That would help a lot, shouldn’t be too hard to implement.

Party merge is so dumb…

Here’s a Reddit thread with some more observations:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1mr4ia/the_lfg_tool_observations/

1. Missing language filters, i.e. Spanish, German, etc.

2. Two Fractal tiers are grouped together

As Lamir mentioned also, there seems to be a long delay when displaying the list per dungeon, but the message displayed when waiting is the same message as if there weren’t any groups at all, which is pretty poor design.

So all in all, it sounds like another typical Anet release. Buggy, partially functional, not very well thought out, and hastily put together.

If only they put as much effort into this as they have into the Super Adventure Box.

Party merge means 3 people can join Cookie and I after we duo all of path 4 and kick us instantly. This feature needs to be removed.

Or give an option to disable or decline party merge.

I sure the devs will make it their top priority to remove functionality which hinders players selling dungeon spots.

If you don’t want to merge, don’t use the lfg tool.

Funny how they have a hard time replicating the functionality of a third party website that didn’t take that long to be built. And I don’t wanna hear “websites are easy to program compared to game crap” cause this game already uses websites in its in game UI : the Trading Post is an in game web browser.

Anet seems rather.. incompetent, to say the least.

It’s not really like the TP is working well anyway
