Guild Wars 2

I used GW2LFG.com and got a group together but we couldnt run it because we couldnt get in the same instance and had to disband. how do you do make it work?

none of us could get into a overflow btw

Then you cannot make it work.

well then i guess GW2LFG is useless for fractals.

Yeah, it is a stupid decision especially since Explorables were all cross server. Not sure why ANet decided “Lets fix this part of our dungeons that people like and it works. I mean we will have guesting by 2015 or whatever!”. GW2LFG site works fine as usually someone is in some sort of overflow.

Were you from different server regions? North America / Europe? This will prevent you from joining the same overflow.

Lazyness. When you are on a primary map or an overflow, you are actually connected to a specific server. The way fractal entry works is done on that server. So to check info like the maximum level possible or the list of players to enter fractal and receive the popup message, the server can only do it with the players that are connected to it. It has no info about the players that aren’t connected to it so it cannot take them to the fractal level.

The worse is that it would have been far easier to make fractal work by asking you the level you want inside the instance, for example by talking to one asura to change it or when you start the instance itself by walking in the middle teleporter. Then entering the lobby would be of no consequences.

Thanks for the info Stof. Can definitely see that. The idea of using the fractal itself as the level selection is something ANet should look into to ease up all this overflow hopping were having to do now.

If you are from different servers you can enter the LA overflow and type /join whateverthenameis and then run fractals. So yep you can use gw2lfg to find cross server groups. Awesome stuff
