Guild Wars 2

Right now all open world content is under the same heading, just Living World > Open World.

That means you have Tequatl, Triple Wurm, Silverwastes, Dry Top, Orr, Living Story groups, Living Story Achievement groups and mouthbreathers who don’t know how to advertise their dungeon group in the right section (they just post “P1 P3 quick run” in open world and somehow expect everyone to know which dungeon they’re running) in the same LFG panel. It refreshes too quickly and you end up clicking groups for the wrong content. Do this a few times and you’re barred from joining more groups.

Open World should have subsections for Frostgorge Sound (champ trains, coil, and claw), Orr (temples, gates of Arah), Southsun (karka queen, karka train), Dry Top, Silverwastes, and a World Bosses section (mostly for Teq and Wurms but could be useful for any world boss)

Then you could have a section for Story/Achievements, and then the open world section by itself would just be for other miscellaneous champ trains.

This would help with the seizure inducing refresh, at least in most sections, and help make it so that if you misclicked/didn’t click fast enough before a refresh you’d at least probably get put into a group that was relevant to what you wanted to do rather than random groups.

No support? Can’t believe people actually prefer the unstructured mess of the open world tab as it currently is.

Give this thread some more time …

I support this.

But the LFG Tool in general needs alot of improvements

• The super fast actualization has to get removed, the LFGs get so fast actualized, that you can’t see anything mostly anymore in super full LFG areas like Open World

• The LFG Tool needs to receive more Tabs for different categories, however, 1 category per Map would be too much.
  it should be more something like this:

Open World > World Bosses > Dynamic Events > Personal Story > Living Story

And then there needs to exist a Filter Option, with that you can decide, if you want to see for those Categories the LFG’s for all Maps, or just only for the current Map you are on for each of those Categories.
Could look like this then:

World Bosses: All Maps
Dynamic Events: Current Map
Personal Story: All Maps
Living Story: Current Map

This way you would be able to see in the Tool all LFGs for World Bosses, regardless on which Map you are currently, while also seeing all LFGs for personal Story, regardless on which Map you are in the moment, while you see only LFGs for Dynamic Events and the Living Story, that happen on the Map on which you are currently playing on.

• Dungeons should receive also more categories.
  Sell Category and Play Category, so that you get all this sell junk out of your eyey if you are just searching only for people to play a dungeon normally.

• Each Dungeon should get also tabs for each single Path, so that people don’t have to write in the LFGs anymore, for which path they are seeking players. Players would be able to tell then by 1 look simply, for which path the lfg is just by seeing, under which path tab it appears under a dungeon.

FotM is ok as it is

The Personal Story Category got merged then into the Open World Category

Personally I think the whole WvW Category can be deleted, no single person is using this category in the LFG tool since introduction of the tool.
I never have seen a single lonely LFG in that section, truly!!
I think it would be better replaced with a complete new category: Trading Place for those people that want to make LFGs for selling something, or trading something with the LFG tool working there as neutral base to send items to it, so that both sides get their wanted items, once both players have send the item to the LFG tool and accepted the trade
——

Personally I think the PvP Category is also obsolete, nobody uses that section since release, I never found any lfgs in that place until now and I think, with the latest changes of matchmakign for PvP, that this section is even lesser needed, than ever before.

Would make maybe more sense to change that category into “Roleplay”, so that the RP community has under the LFG tool its own section for coordination and seeking of fellow rpers

Well, part of the refresh problem is because people are joining the groups really fast. Every time someone joins one of the groups in the list, the entire list goes through a refresh animation. The animation is the real problem, but part of it is because everything is in one unorganized list for open world. I’d still like Orr, Maguuma Wastes, Southsun, and Frostgorge to be separate, cause I’d hate to be looking for a silverwastes group and click into a frostgorge group due to the refresh. That’s the same problem we’re having now. Also the more subsections, the less likely you’ll get the random improperly advertised dungeon groups (can we report those? Maybe the leaders would learn a lesson after a day suspension), people trying to sell precursors over LFG (seriously? That seems like abuse of the system to me) and guild advertisements (possibly abuse as well)
