Guild Wars 2

Every night since holloween even started I have had to spend 30-40 minutes going in and out of the lab to get into a copy with people on it. At first I thought ok well maybe it is just every copy is full and so there is only a few more of us keeping seeking a fuller copy. And it was bad luck. But now a week in I am getting very frustrated wasting so much time every day trying to get in a copy with people to farm when megaserver is supposed to be the game solution to prevent this from happening. Last year this was not a problem in the lab either. You’d have to spend this much time trying to find one without people in it.

And I know there are tons of people farming the lab. So it isn’t a lack of interest for why I am having this problem. I keep expecting the game to give me the your map is too empty we will move you to a higher populated one yet all week I have not. This too I am thinking what the heck why isn’t it asking us to move. For example this evening the first time in I get a copy that has only 10 of us in it. The person with the tag is done for the night the group falls apart and i am left going in and out in and out not getting anywhere but that same group of less than 10 people now doing nothing since there is no tag. So I thought I would post here about it and see what I can find out. I can’t be the only one having this problem.

The issue is that the mad king’s lab areas have a small player cap (25?).

So it goes from “people on the map” 10-15…. to “world is full” very quickly.

Its not that people aren’t doing the lab….. its just that people are all doing the lab on full servers.

While this doesn’t make it any less frustrating, I hope at least you understand why this is happening to you.

I was having to taxi through the lfg tool. Be careful though, majority of the taxis are to dead instances.

You might wanna try to find other players for that in the LFG tool and taxi them on your map (or vice-versa).

taxi has worked well for me. however, when someone tags down, the exodus is immediate.

I’ve had good luck in running with semi competent people who don’t need to follow a tag. I’ve also been on some maps with incompetent commanders and jumped to other maps. If you can find a max party of 5 who can spread out over maps to find a good group, you can reconsolidate on a single map and take it from there.
