Guild Wars 2

For the second day in a row I have tried to go to Catacombs and get in a group. Nothing doing, nothing happening. Empty.

So what is the problem with scaling the dungeon to the amount of people who are in the party when they enter?

Say 3 people are trying to do it and waiting out side and instead of waiting for maybe a possibility of someone else coming, they go in just the 3 of them. The dungeon looks at the party and adjusts the dungeon to 3/5 of the normal difficulty. But here is the fun part for all you social animals. Mega Dungeons, say you go in with a party of 10 now the dungeon is twice as hard as for a party of 5. Twenty five players could do a dungeon 5 times as hard as a regular one. Guilds could have Mega Dungeon Raids. Newer players could look around and learn a bit about the Dungeon before they tried it with others.

This system everyone plays and everyone would benefit.

Then there could be a dungeon group finder for players who wanted to go on bigger groups. This could pull players from other servers to fill out parties.

And just how do you propose they scale rewards?

Not to mention that scaling difficulty isn’t as easy as you seem to think, as evidenced by how the various Dynamic Events seem to scale.

Nah

We need some automatic Server-Merges here. Anet needs to stop hiding behind the “Population” (ppl sitting in L.A. != Activity) and just merge a few of these servers so Dungeons can get rolling again and no one has to use out-of-game tools just to find groups.

That, or give ALL of us a free Transfer on the August anniversary and we’ll do it ourselves.

There would be no need to scale rewards because it would be just as hard no matter how many players in your party. That’s the whole idea. Two players would play at a 2/5 level of the 5 man dungeon. Ten players would play a dungeon at 2 times the 5 man dungeon scale. Twenty-five players would play at 5 times the scale of the 5 man dungeon. Everybody plays, everybody has fun everybody wins. No down side at all.

Well except that maybe more people would have access to doing the dungeons. More players could get rewards. More players could finish their legendary weapon and not have to buy yours on the TP!

gwlfg? I dont’ see how its possible you can’t get a group for AC. If you can get 3 people the rest should be filled in a few minutes.

Who in their right mind wants to stand around and wait and wait and try to fill a group. It’s EMPTY do you understand the concept! If these places were being used there would be many many players standing outside ready to go. But instead EMPTY. I’ve gone and looked.

why do you ppl need to have people standing outside the dungeons??? there is no point in that. use gw2lfg.com and get a group to any dungeon quickly- that way you dont have to waste time standing outside dungeons.

also lots of ppl standing outside dungeons is not what shows the activity of the dungeon. because ppl just standing outside isnt playing the dungeon.

This. I also don’t have any problems finding groups for AC; gw2lfg is your friend.

And no, I don’t sit around the dungeon entrance when I feel like doing a run.

Yeah do it most days, never have any issues getting a team. The thing is a large amount of the dungeon running population use GW2LFG, which means they don’t have to stand outside dungeons to find a team.. generally people stay doing other stuff till the team is full then all port to the WP.
