Guild Wars 2

Pls make a queing lfg system ingame or integrate www.gw2lfg.com in the client, ty

They’re working on it, and they’re making sure it’s integrated with every part of the game. That’s why it takes so much time. It will be out before the end of the year; Colin said so.

Patience little grasshopper. They’re working on it, and it will be here soon.

Sometime in 2013 so… they still have 7 months theoretically

I know this is a LFG question. But I guess the point of this post was because I was wondering why they did not start with an LFG system.

I mean, we can say “hindsight is 20/20” but you know they went thought a lot of effort t make unique skins for armors, weapons, and a whole system (story/paths) for each dungeon, so they were expecting people to have to run these a few times over.

So I guess, I am just wondering why they did not have something at the start, or at least something in the works when the game went live.

I guess I am just kinda in a state of amiss at were they expecting to happen with these dungeons, or how did they think or expect players to approach them.

I guess if we knew that, we could get a better fix on how they view dungeons and how they the LFG system they will put in will work.

I agree, I don’t get why this game didn’t launch with an LFG. Neverwinter is an MMO in BETA and it has an LFG tool. It’s pretty much a standard for MMOs today.

Just make it LF Warrior, Guardian, Mesmer and it will be fine for a start.

I’m starting to think Anet don’t show as much love to the dungeon side of the game, one solid bit of dungeon content in 8months (fractals) and I suppose that temp dungeon could count too… but every other section has threads with answers from staff but this section seems neglected, for such a large part of the game you’d think they’d address the issues quicker.

I am left wondering, if this was the intent to be honest. did they mean to make Dungeons a large part of the game, or were they supposed to be some fringe thing?

There are many questions with no answer, and that is not a good thing.

For what it’s worth, I know Robert hasn’t responded to anything in this Dungeon Forum for the past 10 days. I’m lead to believe that he’s either taken a vacation or working in another team— and he’s usually quite vocal about certain matters regarding dungeons, rangers, and rangers in dungeons.

wait wait and in meantime more peps are leaving the game.
Neverwinter is a serious threat to gw2, i hope u devs will think about it and take adequate countermeasures,otherwise you’ll lose a huge part of your players.
Just a suggestion, do as you wish

As much as I want to pretend they are incompetent, the reality is an LFG system is in their best interests. So they’re probably working on it (unlike the Champion scaling in Orr with no ETA.)

He said in a thread a while ago that he’s been called to temporarily work on another part of the game, so we probably won’t see much dungeon action from him for a bit. For one thing, I noticed that he’s listed on the team for the return to Southsun Cove (recent blog post).

Thanks for the tip Lightrayne. I’m under the impression that there might be a new dungeon in the works that could be Karka-related. Now that would be neat.

Back to the original subject, if I recall, this new LFG system would be used for various types of group activities, not just dungeons. Honestly, I’m not sure what other activities requires you to form group besides dungeons … then again, I suppose the new LFG system could temporarily allow you to join someone’s guild in order to participate in guild missions. Now that would feel kind of awkward. Either that, or the LFG system would somehow be incorporated into the s/tPvP Hot Join system, and merged into one system for both activities. I could see that happening somehow.

I honestly prefer the more personal system of actually having to talk to people. The less mechanical the process, the kinder and more patient people are, I find. Nobody wants to take the time to explain a boss when they can re-queue and find a more competent group mate. Nobody wants to be friendly to all 50 people when they cycle through eight random groups in a day.

you have no clue what you talking about

obviously you never played any games owned by PWE company

all games are based on “free to play” aka “pay to win”

that means there is no PvP in such games, (ofc there is pvp but not for normal people (unless you like getting 1shoted by people who spent life time farming ingame or spent thousands of dollars for their gears)

when you realized that,you will turn to pve witch will eventually get you bored to death

people dont even realize how happy they should be with how ANET is manageing GW2 and how balanced this game is compared to other games

if you dont believe my words you can go and try the other games….i give you 2months before comeing back here in tears and opening threads about how ANET and GW2 great are

I still believe that a LFG tool was likely intentionally held back so they can qualify it as a months content update.

Content updates in this game suck.

The “we are working on it” line is getting old. The tech exists in game already for sPvP. It should be relatively simple to adapt that to dungeons, and put together a ui.

Ok it woudl take time, but its been a while now, and no update….
