Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

My idea is to add a mechanism to the game that automatically group up people with the same wills. Something like that:

1- Choose your dungeon:
( ) AC ( ) CM ( ) TA ( ) SE …
2- Choose your game mode:
( ) Story ( ) Exploration
( If Exploration: )
2.1- Choose the Path you are willing to do:
( ) 1st Path ( ) 2nd ( ) 3rd
2.2 – Choose how you want to do it:
( ) Rush/fast farming ( ) Casual/fun
3-
( ) Confirm ( ) Cancel

This mechanism would NOT instant teleport people to inside the dungeon, as well as, would NOT auto choose the dungeon, the path, etc.
This is meant only to group up people. Taking them from all Gw2 servers and grouping them up together. After that they can be free to change anything.

I think its a good idea since some servers have no many people doing some dungeons, is really hard to find casual players aswell and really there is no much point going to Lion’s Arch and yelling: LFG XXX, LG2M YYY.

What do you think? Should we have something like that? What would you change here? Leave a clever comment.

If it was me, the only thing I would change is to trash the idea and make a new one.

Just put more solo mini-games in LA that doesn’t require me to go into another instance. This way, Waiting will be much more fun.

Why is it bad? telling something is bad without making a valid point makes you trash.

Why solo mini-games would help to group up people? And wait for what?

Looking for AraH Story group

It may be about time for a cross server dungeon finder. It was already difficult to get a group going for things like CoE and SE exp and now fractals in the picture I can’t imagine it’ll get any easier. Running fractals seems far more profitable (and enjoyable) than most of the old explorables even with the improved loot.

Even worse is trying to get a story group for any dungeon after CM. It’s happened several times now where I travel around multiple zones (blowing about 14s+ total) looking for people just to run SE or CoE story and not find a single person interested.

i havent been able to get a full group for any dungeon yet, would LOVE a group finder so i dont have to spam LFG LFG LFG wasting money teleporting all over, wasting so much time LFG’ing

Yeah I have to say it’s basically mandatory at this point. No lie I spent almost as much time shouting lfg in Lion’s Arch as I did in the fractals. It’s nearly impossible to find anybody when looking for specific difficulties, which is really something you’d think Anet should have foreseen.

OMG, you do know that a dungeon group finder has been officially pooh-poohed by the Anet insiders. How long have you been playing this game?

I’m not exactly sure why this would be a problem in gw2. Not screaming lfg in chat is not what hurt community in other games. It was being able to be a ninja without consequence. And in gw2 you can’t ninja. At all. End of story. There is no reason not to implement something to form groups better then putting an icon on your head.

I would really like a group making system as well. I’m a very casual player because I’m busy irl, and when I do play, dungeons are basically impossible because I don’t have the time to sit around and scream for people to play with me. Also, I hate sitting around screaming for people to play with me (even if I did have a lot of time).

Dungeon finder tool is the next logical step from vertical progression.

Dungeon finder isn’t in the works currently.

I Support ! i dont want to waste time anymore + silver(from teleports for grouping) in game

A mere searchable list of people with editable notes you can fill to show what dungeons you can/want would make me happy.

Tryble, 80 Guard
LFG HotW Exp All Paths,
FotM Difficulty 5

or whatever. Shoutspamming for members is something I really dislike. Don’t need anything fancy, just give me something to work with.

My point, which is the main problem now a days is:

Some dungeons have not enough people to do it. Joining all servers into a “looking system” would help that.

This system as I said would not become a “WoW dungeon system (…)” because it only would group people up. No teleport, no ready/cancel, no party leader, etc.

Now this new “DLC” came out I realise that Orr is really dead, there aren’t people even to take the gates of Arah, which is pretty shameful.

I would not say we need this system (yet) to gruop people up for Orr temples, but a world wide “New Event Nearby” spamming would be helpful. As well NPCs from Lion’s or other places coming at you and saying “Hey we need your help, Orr is a mess …”

Orr is the ultimate late game in Guild Wars 2 and seeing Orr dominated by risen should affect all world.

i like the dungeon finder idea as some dungeons are rly hard to find people to do…especially now with the new dung in LA.Enen a list of all people in the world that looking for a dungeon can help tbh.

While a good LFG system doesn’t seem to be a priority for Anet, you can use an external alternative in the mean time. This guy set up good, basic website that does a lot of what the in-game tool should do:

Remember you can’t join parties cross-region (so you have to stick to US if you’re on a US server, or EU if on EU).

spent 37 minutes trying to find a fifth for SE story so far. Sitting in LA spamming map chat is an abomination. This game needs a dungeon finder so badly. At least then I could go work on my dailies and have fun instead while LFG

finally got a fifth, SE story mode crashed on the first boss, fifth never came back. over an hour wasted. I just don’t get it. Why does anet want to make it so hard for us to do this?

Arenanet you know…. so slow progress….

My two brothers and I stood at the gate of ascalon for an hour trying to recruit two more people to go last night but no one wants to do story mode, so we tried to do it 3 man and failed miserably. Now you’re telling me that there is no LFG tool in the works, that probably means that as soon as we are done leveling, we will probably quit playing the game. I’m not going to stand around waiting for hours to do a dungeon.

AC, TA and CoF are not that bad to find people on my server.

But other like SE, CoE, CM, HotW and Arah are really, really hard.

I’d say finding story mode for those are most likely impossible.

My server doesn’t get Arah’s gate since Friday (or before it).

I like the idea of improving the existing LFG feature, which is very minimal to put it friendly. I dont want any auto-grouping or teleports into dungeons to happen, I have had too many negative experiences with that in several past games.

That aside the LFG window the OP describes is a good idea. Have one to search for players that are lfg which alot of options you to filter the results, and one for groups looking for more members that a lfg player can use to find a spot. Players would have to whisper each other to form the group just like now. The big plus is you filter the potential members down to those with the same interest as you and everyone can do other things instead of sitting in LA.

Just questions 1 and 2

A LFG cross-map channel would be nice. That way I could continue to play the game instead of standing in LA or the dungeons’s zone. Could be leveling another character then when a group comes up relog the appropriate character.

I really like your idea. I play rarely and aren’t lvl 80 yet, so I’m basically behind on content and haven’t been established in a large guild yet, so it’s hard to find groups.

this sounds like a matching making system. would be great for fractals.

+1
Any solution that makes party making for dungeons easier and faster are more than welcome!

That’s the idea,

But I still worried about two things:

People who are not 80 are getting more and more not “welcome” to do their own level dungeons.

Since dungeons seem to be the new “focus” of the game and Orr karma was deeply nerfed, it got really empty and hard to find enough people to run group events or the temple ones.

Finding a group before FotM wasn’t always easy and could be time consuming.
Finding a group now is becoming increasingly difficult and can become a real pain.
Spending 2 hours in LA spamming the chat to get a group together to finally give up is not my definition of a fun game.

We NEED an LFG tool of some sort. I’m not wasting my time any more.

We absolutely need a better LFG in game tool. FoM is great but now 80% of dungeon runs for that only, making it increasingly hard to find a group on a server for the other dungeons and then there is the task of finding the dungeon open where applicable.

Also, please stop closing these threads ANet. It is important people have a place to discuss this and feel they are being heard as waiting 30-60 mins to get a group together is not fun and goes against everything your great company stands for.

why isn’t lfg tool in game since day one? what’s the bs reasons behind all this? Worked nicely in gw1
