Guild Wars 2

I took a month break from the game but now I am back and want to get back into it. However upon logging in last night I couldn’t do anything. I tried going to Orr but I was the only person there and I couldn’t complete any events since Orr was clearly designed to be done in groups not alone.

Next I tried going to LA. I spent 20 minutes in an overflow but after asking for multiple dungeons and/or fractal groups I was unable to get even a single person to respond. I figured the overflow I was in must have not had many people.

I finally got into the main LA and spent 30 minutes with the exact same problem. this supposedly “full” instance of LA had not a single person say a word for the 30 minutes I was there trying to get a group. Eventually I gave up and moved onto WvWvW.

In WvWvW I went to the EB which had no queue and found there was only about 8 other people there on my team and half of them were just there gathering resources as far as I could tell. I finally found the zerg of people in the borderlands and had a few good fights but then our commander left and people just stood in the keep doing nothing so I just logged out.

I didn’t try sPvP, is that where all the people are? Is there some new activity I am missing? did all the karma farmers go to a new spot I don’t know about? Is there some new spot to get loot now?

The majority are in the Fractals of the Mist dungeon id expect. The dungeon is great but its had the unintended effect of taking people out of the game world and into that of a dungeon. They are going to address this in the near future by improving activities and rewards in the ‘real world’ and by making ascended items available game-wide, not just in the fractals dungeon.

alos the christmas stuff just ended, people (much like myself)) are a little burnt out and doing other stuff than playing this video game ((i still enjoy it but i have other things in my life))

use gw2lfg.com it helped me a lot to find groups, you can even group with people of other worlds. I dont know why this isnt implemented in game.

Got two toons to lvl 80 and got fed up about the mobs (at he higer levels), the quick respawns, grinding, low drops—it was becoming boring/frustrating. And then I got Far Cry 3 for xmas!!!

Logging in at 4am server time are we? There is a solution to some of these problems (besides the Orr one maybe, most people hate those zones by now) and that is to transfer to a very high population server and search the overflows.

huh i’ve never heard of that site before. It looks like it should help, thanks. Hopefully they implement something like this in game soon.

This. I find that MMO’s are most active during the Holidays (especially Christmas). People get time off, and theres a lot more content in game. But after a big event ends, the game slows down again. People go back to work, school and we lose the holiday content. I think you just picked a bad time to return OP.

Find a nicer server.

Early early morning on an NA server is going to make things a little dodgy, though, especially if you haven’t got much of an Oceanic presence.
