And it would also be awesome if in the filter you could also select level and professions, so that other professions players can’t join and such.

BINGO!!!

Good luck trying to kill all the enemies in some of the dungeons.

But, why not add the filter?

What are you talking about? You realize you are the 1000039349385th person to post one of these ridiculous threads?

First off, “playing the game for real” can be done any way. Stacking and skipping can be considered the “proper” way to do things. Does someone need to post the devs response to stacking and skipping saying they approve? So, considering that, who are you to decide what is the “proper” way to play the game? Or do you mean you want to play the" long, boring, kill everything for absolutely no loot and waste hours per path" way? If so,

Secondly, as is always the case with these threads. MAKE YOUR OWN GROUP. It really is that easy.

To your request: If they add a filter for that, we need one to filter out people who join and don’t wear zerk gear when asked or level filters or AP filters, and so on……

I’ve already killed everything in every dungeon in the game several times, aetherblade, arah, fotm, isn’t that hard.

- First of all, i’m a player, so i have the right to express myself, even if it is for 139431493184 time.

- Second, calm down, what is your problem? I never said everyone should play like me, i never said people should stop skipping, stack, what i’ve said is that there’s a lot of players who like to play the same way as i do, and is really hard to make my own groups(very much like you said) like that in LFG and a filter would help and is a very simple thing to do.

- Third, i’m very sure when the developers were making the game, they wasn’t thinking in skipping and stacking. It must be the popular way, but isn’t how the game was supposed to be played. But i’m not here to discuss that, i’m here to propose a filter option.

- Fourth, who are you to decide how should i have fun in my game? If i like to “spend long boring hours killing everything for poor loot” it’s my choice and you are also contradicting yourself, cuz you said everyone has the right to play the way they want, but can’t i play the way i want?

- Fifth, if there’s so many threads like this, is cuz there’s so many people who like to play like me. And is just a filter, god, it’s probably a html code or something like that, isn’t a big deal.

And finally, have you ever realised that the game’s be around for 2 years, and a lot of people have all the gear they wanted and just want to have fun playing the game? Ins’t everything about looting and reward for everyone.

What makes you think the problem is that they are “supposedly” “hard”?

The problem is that they are boring. That’s all.

“Classic” as if we haven’t been speed running these dungeons since August 2012 and its some new thing.

Again? This discussion is pointless, what is fun for me is boring for you, wathever, nobody like the same things. I do know a lot of people who think is fun to pointless kill everything in a dungeon, if you don’t, i’m not mocking you, so stop trying to be a kitten. I see now that i did this topic in the wrong way. It’s not about how i or you like to play and it’s pointless discuss about it, it’s about improving the lfg system to everyone play the way they wanted. You, me, the other dude in this topic.

Create your own LFG with your own requirements. Those “zerker skippers” you hate so much play how they want, too. They just dont wanna play with you, and thats something you’ll have to accept if you want everyone to be able to “play how they want”.

I rather like the term “classic”. Sums up the desired playstyle well without being offensive.

Just ignore the snark. A lot of people here still have some misguided hope that ANet will work on non-LS content someday, and are (understandably) bitter that the promises made by the state of the game at launch have not been met.

At the end of the day, we’re all the same: poor fools trying to eek pleasure out of an abandoned, stale aspect of the game.

Umm am I wrong in saying some dungeons have unlimited spawns?

can someone please send this topic to oblivion? it got way out of the point and just generated some stupid discussions and i can’t delete it… xD

I think those mobs would not be considered for a full-clear due to common sense.

inb4 pugs have no common sense.

Welcome to the dungeon forum! :-)

A mod should close/delete this once they see your message.

My point is he said he killed everything in every dungeon which, last time I checked, is not possible.

Hmm…if you kill something once and it respawns, have you not killed it nonetheless?
strokes beard throughfully

I saw an LFG the other night that said “killing everything” and I thought to myself “neat, I’m glad people are getting to play the way they want to, I wish I could.”

Ive found kuilling everything groups lie. They usually dont go everywhere..

I had a cm "killing everything group’ still do skips. I was like ummm… Do I have to define everything?

@OP

I like and support the idea of customizing the LFG for profession, level, gear, etc.

@Everyone else turning this into a “play how I want” discussion…

The OP never said anything about not liking “zerkers, skips, stacking, etc”. Turning a simple suggestion into such a discussion shows that either the OP was ignored completely, or that you feel your style of play would be threatend in some way. Yes the OP can create their own LFG with their own requirements, but the problem is (and it’s a well documented fact ) that pugs don’t always read the LFG. So for all the zerker only speed runs, that many of you are fond of, such a system would actually benefit you. You would be able to restrict your own LFG to allow only those wearing beserker gear, have an AP of at least 15k, and be X profession. You wouldn’t have to worry about someone linking beserker gear, but not wearing it, only have 115 AP, and a bearbow ranger joining.

In short, this doesn’t restrict anyones style of play, and will actually help to enhance your chosen style of play, as you can filter out those who don’t read the LFG, and just randomly join a group hoping to be carried.

And it would also be awesome if in the filter you could also select level and professions, so that other professions players can’t join and such.

You’re wrong. The OP did strongly imply that using zerker/skipping was an illegitimate play style.

Yes, OP can mean original post/poster depending on context

And yes, I caught that. In any case, I do agree with LFG filtering. It would greatly help those looking to play a certain way, regardless of what that is.

I agree too.

I don’t like stack/skipping dungeons, and yes i made myself clear in the first post, but i never said people should stop doing this.

I have the right to like and dislike what i want. But like i’ve said before, never said people should stop playing that way.

And yes i’m embarassed, cuz people want to prove that their vision are right, mine is wrong, with is impossible cuz everyone enjoy their times playing in different ways.

And yes i am embarassed, cuz this topic was never to make pointless dicussion, but i was kind kittened when i’ve posted this, so i agree, this nonsense discussion is my fault, not that i’m surprised, it’s internet, it’s a game forum. xD

anyway if anyone actually want to give their toughts about lfg, please post here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Suggestion-Improved-LFG-Filters/first

Eckenhart, please stop lying. I just can’t stand it anymore. In the original post, which you deleted, you said the way you wanted was the proper way. Proper was the word you used. By suggesting the opposing ways are improper, you were being downright judgemental. You also said you were sure the devs didn’t have some tactics in mind, but who cares? They went public and said those tactics were just fine.

You say you’ve every right to voice your thoughts, but what if every thread you opened was moved 2 pages back just because many other posters started new threads about the very same topic? You don’t find it to your liking? Perhaps now you see the other side of the coin…

Darius i’m not lying, i’ve already said that i was “kittened” xD (angry) and i was wrong to post the way i did. What do you want to prove? You are overreacting… I already said i was wrong, let it go kitten it.. xD

In fact, back in the day, i did speed runs myself to farm gear, money, etc. Yeah i ’ve started this topic in the wrong way and i apologize for that.

I totally get that is boring and tiring to farm dungeons in the long hard way, but there’s a lot of people like me that are not actually farming anything, just playing for fun.

There’s a lot of people who don’t get it, and act the same way i was acting about skipping/stacking in this topic. So yeah i regret being hypocritical, i’m not trying to prove that i’m right.

Anyway, how people neglect to read the description in LFG still an issue for me and i’m sure it’s not only for me and it can be improved.

Eckenhart.2816:

Really? Is that why you said this:

Eckenhart.2816:

You just don’t seem to get that many people have chosen the fast because it’s fun for them. Yes, it’s fun, you’ve heard me. Even your quoted post proves your misconception that if it’s not the way you suggested it’s not “just playing for fun”.

Live and let live. Start your own groups. You could probably figure it out if you actually spend a moment of your time to think it through. You wanted to vent, you rightfully received some flak for that, and you still haven’t learned other ways could be just as fun. Maybe not for you, but you’re just another snowflake, and not a special one. It’s that simple.

People need to stop playing professional victims and just move on.

“Oh no he chose his words poorly I have to argue with him until he says sorry”

Sign me in for Classic runs. I’ve done everything in the game, got my legendary, multiple gears and armours… and i HATE with a passion stacking and skipping enemies.

Is not all about rewards, guys, it’s about the fun.

I want to also say: The people trying to force others to stack are the most toxic players i ever found in any MMO community. If someone wants or don’t want to stack, it’s ok. Both strategies (stacking or ranged dps) works for every enemy in the game (personally tested). It’s slower? probably, who cares about speed when you are having fun?.

The OP is asking for fun runs and we all know fun is relative. For me and her seems like fun is killing everything. The ones that doesn’t think the same… i don’t even know why they answer in this post, to bother us? sigh.

The only ones who’re being toxic are the ones who promote intolerance. You promote intolerance with your post right here. Calling other people toxic because they prefer their runs in a way you might not like? Now that is what’s called toxic, right there. Their team, their rules.

Do yourself a favor and avoid being toxic before you suggest others need to refrain form doing it…

Edit:

You and the OP are the only ones bothering. The OP for beating a dead horse and refusing to simply start his own parties (without starting yet another thread about this topic, which he admitted was a mistake), and you for spreading intolerance and toxic atmosphere.

Do you need a hug Darius?

Here ya go: hugs

Feel better?

I have a real question now, if you never stack and never skip, does that mean you carry like 2 ranged weapons on swap and do the optional events? ( cof bridge and ooze boss, ac ghosts event, arah P4 giants, hotw totems for instance). Not being sarcastic, just wanted to know.

Oxy.. stacking =/= ranging bosses

going melee is a soft stacking :O

You can still spread out and GS camp bosses, but i know what you mean!

I’d assume that a “casual” full clear would just get rid of the mobs that are on the path, e.g. the CoF bridge mobs, the ghosts before the burrows in AC p3, etc etc. Definitely not the CoF ooze bosses.

Man, I didn’t even know about the CoF oozes until a couple months ago. Makes ya wonder what old Hrouda (or whoever the CoF designer was that they undoubtedly kicked to the curb after launch) had planned for it.

Even the designers seemed to think dungeon development would continue post launch (oozes, AC JP, CM creepyspinnyroom, etc) Q_Q Poor kittens.
