Guild Wars 2

I just wasted an hour of my life trying to party up in Dragon Stand. I was in a full party, and when the map cleared and I tried to go to the map that everyone was on it was full. So, basically I don’t get to do Dragon Stand today because if we don’t get to the first prime time map it is a bust, no one is playing it otherwise. Basically Dragon Stand is a weekend map if we want to have a moderately successful chance at playing it. If it were like triple trouble, and just one boss it wouldn’t be a big deal, but our progression to gaining masteries is tied to Dragon Stand, particularly if we want to get to the merchant that spawns after the dragon is defeated.

Is it that much to ask that we have some sort of reliable way of getting to playable maps where other people are? I am rather new to this game, so perhaps there is a way to easily change instances that I am unaware of, because I just tried to guest in two different worlds and both were empty. Now I am completely out of ideas.

I am not a complainer, but all 6 people that ended up with me in the overflow map were just as frustrated and had their lives wasted too, and I am sure this is a common daily occurrence. Every day I haunt Dragon Stand on the off chance I might be able to play it, and I get a glorious chance to and I am completely deprived. It is disheartening. Please fix this.

Right about 5 mins before DS start. You go to LFG and searched for taxiing for DS. Personally, I avoided Dragon Stand on the weekend. The amount of failed Dragon Stand is amazing. Everyone seems to do their own things instead of following the commander tag.

It’s looking increasingly like the entire HoT set of maps are becoming “weekend-only” content due to the lack of players out there as time goes by.

And yeah, it’s frustrating.

Thanks for LFG info. I have actually never used it as I don’t do group content without a guild and solo what I can. Think I could solo Dragon Stand? That would be like amazing. I’d have to have some sort of super mastery level to accomplish that… ha ha

It’s not lack of players, it’s the mega-server dumping everyone into silly useless instances with little to no ability to find a good one. Usual for me is log on, check LFG, if I am very lucky there is something worth doing and the taxi isn’t full. 9 time out of 10, or worse, I give up after half an hour. Shambolic

I know this has been said before, but this screams for a queue system where you just tell it “I want to do DS” (or VB, or Teq, or whatever) and it finds you the next available slot on the most filled up server that isn’t already full. The onus shouldn’t be on players to look for taxis, or to provide taxis.

simply, they game is dying. i feel for all who still love this game. that content is not for solo so people try their darndest (not a real word XD )to try to taxi ect. I hope they fix the game soon!

I think you should look up dying in the dictionary. I don’t think it means what you think it means. As far as anyone I know can tell, Guild Wars 2 is still among the top MMOs. If it’s dying then all MMOs are dying…except perhaps WoW.
