Guild Wars 2

Last night I was partied up with my girlfriend and another guildie visiting Scarlet’s first portal and anxiously awaiting the attack of the minions. When the attack came we all three mapped to Blazeridge Steppes, but were all put into different overflows. We each tried to join the others in overflow, but each of us received the message that the overflow was full and we could not join. We each finished our own, separate, version of the attack. We did not get to play any of the portal content together.

At this point the major reason that I still play Guild Wars 2 is social. I play with friends and guildies, my son, my granddaughter. My girlfriend and I have side-by-side computers and we adventure together. I have a guild that I dearly love. If I can’t land in the same map as the people that I want to play with, then for me it’s a wasted encounter.

This is like launch all over again. I don’t understand why the lessons that were learned at that point, and at the introduction to South Sun Cove, aren’t being put into play now when massive amounts of people are shunted to just one area. If I can’t play with the people that I want to play with then even latest/freshest/best content is a failure.

I agree. I’m not with my friends very often, but when I do want to do some content with them, I always, without fail, get put into a different overflow than them. It’s tiring and makes me angry to say the least. The only reason at this point that I still play GW2 is the social aspect, and they’re slowly taking that away.

This is a very important matter. Anet should focus on.

Content playable with your friends / guildies.

It’s the cement that can help make guilds stay on this game.

Not only 15 min. Missions. 2 / 3 hours long content, like Underworld / Fissure of Woe, aimed at 10 ~ 20 people.

I hate when this happens. My girlfriend and I weren’t able to play together for many of the invasions. I thought they had fixed this issue?

ANet…if players are in a party, put them in the same overflow…of that overflow can’t accommodate the entire party, move them to a new overflow. This can’t be that hard to understand.

They did mostly fix it, for the cases where they couldn’t they added the “Join in …” right click option in the party UI.

They probably don’t want to create a situation where an overflow can potentially be created just for your party.
