More dungeons, still no LFG
Oh this thread again. The others weren’t enough. First, do a bit of research before you say that this is the only MMO that has come out without a dungeon/group finder, since most MMOs have come out without a group finder, including Rift and SWToR, two of the newer MMOs. I’m pretty sure TSW didn’t have one at launch either.
I understand you want a dungeon finder and Anet is working on one. There’s really no need to make stuff up to make a point, is there?
not making anything up he’s perfectly vindicated in making his point that A: They did a bit of false advertising when they suggested they understood how mmo gaming was and that their focus would never been dungeons and B: that they suddenly changed that focus, in some other more just countries that would be called bait and switch.
They’ve been “working” on the separation of PVE and PVP since launch are we not supposed to complain about that either just because we’ve had to wait almost a year to see it come out when most games who have a dungeon focus put one out almost immediately?
Don’t listen these naysayers Ronah you’ve got great points.

When you say, most MMOs launch with a group finder, you’re making stuff up. It’s simply not true. It’s true that MMOs that are newer, SOME of them, do. Games that started being programmed when Guild Wars 2 started didn’t. Not Rift. Not SWToR.
If you make a statement and it’s false, you should be called on it.
WoW didnt
Aion didnt
Tera didnt
Rift didnt
TSW didnt
SWTOR didnt
GW2 didnt
i believe thats all the MMO’s ive played…WoW didnt even have one until their 2nd expansion if memory serves me right…so at least u wont b waiting as long as them since it was confirmed that they are working on it and it will be out in the latter half of 2013 more than likely
also…dont expect this LFG to be like WoWs where u queue…auto join the party and get teled to the dungeon….
it will probably be more like gw1 where u go to the zone the dungeon is in…and bring up a LFG interface and you can see parties looking for people and u can request to join that party
Better go back to shouting LFG bla bla like it was done 10 years ago, or keep alt-tabbing and search on gw2lfg and watch how everyone is looking for a zerk warr or an experienced mesmer for ‘fast runs’. Pathetic.
This was an issue on day 1, so thx for listening AN.
Anet is working on an LFG tool, they said as much and it will be ready when it’s ready. I’m not sure what they’re not listening too. Unless you think they should slap one together, and just throw it in, wily nily. No game company does that.
Things take time to make, a LFG tool will probably take a lot of effort to create, I don’t know personally because I’m not a game designer but in theory it’s quite a large task for a game that had no original plans for one. That might have been a mistake to not include one but we all make mistakes and they are making up for it by creating one. I’d like to see you create one in a few weeks that is fully tested and works as good as other mmo’s LFG tools.
Ok, you advertised the game that partying isn’t necessary but it seems that you just focus on ending storylines only in party based dungeons: personal story and now this living story.
Why don’t you make a scale down system if there are less people in the party?
This a million times over.
One of the reasons I bought this game was because forming parties was not supposed to be necessary to complete the content. Now I’m stuck with a bunch of incomplete stuff sitting on my to-do list.
Lack of a LFG tool is probably because the game was advertised and designed to allow players to do the basic content without grouping.
I can sort of see mandatory groups for dungeons. To complete the personal story and living story content please give me NPCs to help or scale the content to group size (even if it is only me).
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming like the people in his car.

They advertised the game, saying forming parties wasn’t necessary to complete dynamic events, and it’s completely true.
They also talked about their dungeons and that they were made for parties of five and that they were the hardest content in the game.
It’s not like this information was hidden, in fine print, on page 27.
What they said about not having to group for DEs is true. But they never said you wouldn’t have to group at all for anything.
