Guild Wars 2

Currently the LFG tool is not being very useful for HoT content cause the LFG general list is full of meta maps. I think what the LFG tool needs is to be sectioned down by ‘Central Tyria’ and ‘Heart of Thorns’ and then the respective Maps. So that for those of us looking for a HP train, or just general mapping can do so with out dealing with hundreds of LFG:Meta lists.

That would be a very helpful and sensible filter to add to the LFG tool.

Just because there’s a category for it doesn’t mean people will use it. I’ve seen alot of FotM posts in open world lately – despite there being a FotM section already.

Such a pessimistic person ….

I like this idea. The open world event tab is too crowded at the moment. With parties filling up quickly leaving a random spot in the list open to be filled again by a new party. Players have to keep scrolling up and down hoping to see the right party at the right time… before it fills up again that is.

I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this on the forums lately. It would be a nice addition to make (at least) a ‘HoT’ and a ‘Central Tyria’ section.

As always, I support a redesign of the open world section of the lfg tool. At the moment it’s really hard to find the taxis you need.

The most important thing for me would be to be able to only see the groups from all versions of the map I am currently on. I’d prefer it if that was the default view when I open the lfg tool.

Let’s say I want to do the Tequatl event. I’ll waypoint into the map – if it’s a lively one with enough people and some commanders I’ll stay and help get more people in. If it’s rather empty, I’ll use the lfg tool to find a better map. So this is how I use the lfg tool: I usually know what I want to do and am already on the map I want to be on, I just need to find a more organised version of it.

Most of the vanilla GW2 maps don’t need their own category imo. It would nice to have a separate category for farm maps like Dry Top and Silverwastes, but the rest could go into one general category. The new HoT maps should all have their own category.

So, basically, my suggestion would be:

Open World

• Central Tyria
  – General
  – Dry Top
  – Silverwastes

• HoT
  – Verdant Brink
  – Auric Basin
  – Tangled Depths
  – Dragon’s Stand

I think they should force people in a section based on the map they are on.
Currently no matter what you end up in open world.

If a group is in a meta map: force the LFG in the meta map.
If they are in lion arch/fractal: force it in FOTM
If they are in asca: force it in dungeon section.
& so on.
