Guild Wars 2

Does the LFG tool show anyone from cross server or does GW2 not have that kind of tech?

I am new to the game but finding little to no groups for dungeons/fractals going on…not sure if I should move to a high pop server or not. I’m currently on Gates of Madness.

Yes it is cross server for the same region NA or EU.

LFG is cross-server, but it can still be tricky to find a group listed. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly there aren’t massive amounts of people doing dungeons these days.

But maybe more importantly it depends on the time of day. As you might expect most players on the NA servers are in North America and most on the EU servers are in Europe. When you posted this it was 12:49pm in the UK, on a Wednesday. Which means most people in Europe were at work or school and most people in America were just getting up and going to work/school (or possibly still asleep? I’m terrible at time zones). It’s much more likely that you’ll find a group at peak times – evenings and weekends.

Finally and most importantly remember that the LFG tool doesn’t actually show you how many people are looking for a group, it only shows you how many have manually created a listing.

What’s the difference? Well you were looking for a group, but unless you created a listing no one else in the game would know that. There might have been 4 other people looking to do the same dungeon you were at the same time as you, all thinking they can’t get a group because no one else was looking. There might have been 20 of you, or 50, or 500. But until someone takes the step of making an advert on the LFG tool you’re all invisible to each other.

In other words if you’re looking and you don’t immediately see a group you want to join the very next step should be to create one.

You’re not committing to being the party leader (GW2 doesn’t have party leaders) or announcing you know how to do the dungeon or making any kind of commitment at all. If you’re worried about that the tool includes a free text field where you can write things like “first time, help appreciated” or “lf people to muddle through it with me” or whatever you want people to know about your group.

But until you put a listing up your potential group mates will all think you’re not there and there’s no one interested in doing the dungeon.

Edit: I should mention that’s not directly aimed at the OP, or rather not exclusively. I’m reminding myself as much as anyone because I make that mistake all the time. But I’m always seeing people saying they can’t find groups for things and then when I get ‘brave’ enough to list one it fills up in about 10 minutes.

There are no servers in PvE or PvP. Servers only matter in WvW.
