Guild Wars 2

We need a random cross-server group finder that will match you up instantly for dungeons. The current LFG system is the worst on the face of this planet, with Guild Wars 2 a random group finder would be awesome because we’d be matched up INSTANTLY (since it would not need to find healers, tanks, etc just match people up and bam) so I believe that they should implement a system like this it would make people want to do dungeons more and make dungeons more playable (since it always takes ages to find a group anyways).

One way we could also populate the group finder(if it’s implemented) is to give people a daily bonus to doing a dungeon, since right now if you look at the group finder there is like barely anyone on any of the categories. However cross-server would fix that problem I am quite sure, alot could be done with this group finder system and I would love if something like this was implemented. Thank You for reading

Not sure if I am misinterpreting this, but the LFG tool already is cross-server and I don’t really see the point of random match-ups. If you end up in a group with professions you’d rather not have in your team you would end up leaving anyway.

As for the daily bonus to doing dungeon, that was already implemented (the 1-3g depending on the dungeon). Granted they should look into some of them, as some paths should be worth more than 1g (SE P2).

It´s already cross-server. if the lfg is empty is because there is none on the whole Gw2 continent dong that instance.
And with exception of CM i rarely have trouble getting ppl to group with.

Only the toon matters, my friends!

You misunderstand, I meant like a random groupfinder that puts your group into a random dungeon. It would match you up faster so you would not have the issue of 1 dungeon asking for a ton of people then the others being completely empty. I am sure they could improve upon what they have to encourage more people to do dungeons because right now.. I don’t think it can get any worse :P

No. I’d rather be able to pick my dungeons and people I play with rather than have e everything randomized.

I also question your progress within the game as you mentioned tanks, healers, etc which this game does not have.

Randomization would be terrible. Do you have any idea how long it would take to get a proper zerk player? I’d end up kicking hundreds of people (not just the 10+ ppl who don’t read that I currently kick each time I put up an LFG).

in b4 op is level 30 and had one bad experience with trying to join an AC group resulting in massive QQ

You are aware that the OP stated that the system wouldn’t have to care about tanks and healers because GW2 doesn’t have those? Just to adress your last point.

As for your first point, I’m with you on that, I prefer to have a choice in what I do.

@ OP:
Another problem with a randomized dungeons election would be the time availlable for people.
Sometimes you just want to grab a quick dungeon run because your schedule doesn’t allow for a longer one. So you pick one that is fast as opposed to one that can take 3 times the time. If you only have the randomized version, that wouldn’t be possible anymore.

If you are advocating the randomized version in addition to the current system that would eliminate this problem. But I honestly have no idea how bit the demand/interest for those runs would be.
Since it’s a personal preference however, I can’t really argue for or against the idea. The developement team would have to gauge the interest in something like that beforehand to deicde wether to allocate the necessary resources. But since there is no longer a dungeon developement team as far as we know, I don’t think that is something that’s going to happen anytime soon.

Edit: Typos.

You obviously did not read the entire post, I said this game would be great with a random group finder because we do NOT HAVE tanks/healers/etc, that would make the matches faster. And just because I suggest a random group finder does not mean you will be COMPLETELY UNABLE to form groups yourself still. Please read an ENTIRE POST before critisizing it, thank you.

Random dungeon finders are alot faster than looking for a group, I have tried looking for a group on this game and it takes AGES.. in fact the last one I tried we were waiting for like 4 hours and decided to not try anymore. A random finder would instantly match you up and you’d be placed in a dungeon INSTANTLY since of course guild wars 2 does not have healers, tanks, etc it’d just match you up with 5 players quick

Also I NEVER suggested that the current party system be removed, you would still be able to make your own groups if you wanted to but you would have the OPTION of a faster, random dungeon finder that would get you a group faster.

Aaah ok sorry, now that made more sense
Seems it would “spice” things up as regarding challenge, but myself i would avoid that, i do have some requirements to be fulfilled before accepting party member, and even with those they take a few minutes to fill the party.

What dungeon were you trying to do? oO
I used to be in a guild where it took ages to get a group for anything (and the roster has 60 active players). Eventually I just started doing dungeons duo or trio, and joined a new guild, that could be a better solution imo. Also might just be me, because I rarely pug, but when our group needs 5 people (CoF 1) or just decides to pug roulette we get people within seconds.

The lfg tool is great, I’ve never seen it take more than a few seconds to fill a group once I posted it.

This is also the reason you might not see listings … they fill up too fast! Just post your own message.

First statement of this post made me sick to my stomach tbh.

Well there are issues with it, particularly if you are selling with all the white knights merging them. However it’s quite fast for just finding members for a normal run.

hey sounds interesting, I guess I could be implemented as a side functionality, while retaining the current system as the main. Although I’m not exactly sure how effective it will be. There’s several dungeons people just don’t really do, you might random one of them, then everyone leaves and the system starts working against the initial intent.

That’s why I would suggest extra rewards for using the random dungeon finder.

Yes, I did read your entire post except I misread the bit about tanks and such. I apologize for criticizing you on that aspect of my post. However, you did not differentiate your new random system between the old one in your posts so you can see how people could take it that you might have been referring to replacing our current one with yours.

Not sure what you are doing wrong, but I have no problem running almost any path at any time. The only two times it takes a while for a group to fill for me is on the day or two of a LS patch first releasing, most people are off doing that content and dungeons are more empty or when I am trying to get a specific fractal level that maybe not everyone might want to do like 36 or something.

If they would change anything with the lfg tool, I wish they would add a gear check and an AR check function, so I can play with people I actually want to play with (zerkers) rather than people completely ignoring what I am asking for because they are too illiterate or just plain rudely ignoring what another person asks for.

Brewergamer.8357:

Not to mention I am hoping they nerf zerkers into the ground since people like you fanboy all over it constantly.

Wow so brave!

Ooh, I’m a fan girl of zerker speedrun. And I do hope that this random mix-up never exists so I can safely avoid people who try to get into my group but do not meet my lfg’s requirement. How ironic!

I call this ^^ the sweet freedom of choice

if god forbid, they ever did implement something like the OP suggests than I also present the motion to implement a medal system, that needs to be earned before you can be matched with others randomly.

- Bronze: poor dps, no synergy, unbalanced build.
- Silver: moderate dps, some synergy, hybrid build.
- Gold: decent dps, decent synergy, decent build.
- Platinum: strong dps, strong synergy, specialized build.

before you can apply for a group in random LFG you’d need to earn one of these medals and would only be matched with people that have earned such medal.

this would be like a test of how good you can actually handle yourself and NOT be a hindrance to your team.

This is a new system some other game is implementing and I thought to myself this would solve so many issues in the gw2 dungeon community right this moment

Taking out offensive gear from the game will kill it, mark my words.
