Guild Wars 2

i feel like im losing interest in this game atm,i run my guild with my best friend but i cant find anybody to play with

I’ve been in several guilds, never heard a squeak from any of them.

Yup it can be a very lonely game.

I’ve never known one like this.

yeah it feels like im on my own private game sometimes

Good people are hard to find in RL too.

^ Unfortunately just in real life it might get a bit lonely.
Why not try playing more casually?
Also running dungeons is a good way to find people. I run as a sort of guide for AC (only tell them the strats when folks are stuck for a long time)

Why mother had over to Operation: Union?
It’s a pretty good way to meet others just give a whisper to some of the folks on there.
Many will be glad to help out. When guesting is involved the movement will be even more effective.

I understand this as well so started the big thread you might see from time to time. Through that I’ve met some awesome people to game with and just up for a good chat can really brighten up your day.

Some are more active then others but there are quite a few on the weekends.
We got folks from all over the place America, Europe, Pacific etc.

Take some time out and just do something else. Don’t carry on doing something you don’t enjoy, it just leads you to hating it even more.

Didn’t say I hated it, just said it’s one of the most unsociable games I have ever played.

Might as well be single player.

But I don’t hate it.

Sorry Solid that part wasn’t very well phrased. But socializing is pretty important in the Mmo game, seems to me what Anet is leaning towards. Gw1 was pretty much a single player game to me except in some hub areas.

You forgot the second sentence. I’m sure you enjoy the game as it is wonderful. Just that there are a few people like this. The loneliness is more of a gripe from what I understand.

Just take some time out if this is something that actually does frustrate you.
However from my experience folks don’t carry on trying to make a connection with other folks. The thing is they never KEPT on trying. This used to get me down but now I’m running around with at least another person if not a full party/ 2 parties.

Seriously just get out there and chat with some random folks you come across on your journey. If noone tries then yes it is a single player game.

Why not you be that one to take first step?
I tried it now I’m always talking with 2 Canadians, quite a few Americans and Europeans and a great person from Hong Kong.

It ain’t a single player game if you don’t want it to be.

You just need to find a good guild. I’m in an amazing guild that is constantly active. It makes the game SO much more fun.

Some members stay just because of the guild!

Perhaps running a guild is not the way you should be playing. Try finding an active pre-established guild.

i had a guild, but since everyone was quiet, i left and joined a more quiet guild. but this new guild at least invites me to do stuff.

i mostly solo the pve content right now, and wave to random strangers to see if they notice. i give 20 copper (if i have enough to give) for positive results. so wave back! have yet to see anyone else wave back to me in game.

I don’t think GW2 has to be or should be a lonely game to play, but I know that it can be. It’s easy to get caught up in your own little bubble doing your own thing – I do it somethings, inadvertantly, even when playing with rl friends. I really believe we as a player community just need to find the right ways to get to know and work with each other

I wrote something about guilds here if anyone’s interested, it’s purely hypothetical right now. But I think a different approach is needed to what works in other games, in response to different design decisions.

Great googley moogley.
Get into WvWvW, you will find lots of people to run around with.
You might even like it. As a two person group you can even harass people and take supply camps, kill dolyaks. You might even save up to get a commander’s icon if you really liked it and you can lead a zerg. If you are in a small guild you two can use your upgrade points for eventually sticking YOUR guild banner on a keep.

i have my own guild that my real life best friend its on on jade quarry but its only me and him and it gets boring quick~lol

hey bipolarzombie! i second what Glictch mentioned. feel free to join our Guild as well! (i’m on two different guilds and represent one or the other, depending on what’s going on, who’s on and what not – i get on at weird hours apparently lol). and if you feel it’s getting a bit lonely in your Guild, you can represent the other anytime when you see more people are on! to note: at the time being, it is more cross-server so it’s hard to actually play together, but at least having peopel to talk to makes a big difference : )))

i usually always run with my wife, and some other guildies but there are times when i run solo as well. and more often than not, i’ll run into other lone soldiers doing their hero thing, and after an event, or after we notice we’re chasing the same things for a while be it nodes, vistas, etc, i’ll just chat up a storm lol. some times, i think i scare them off and they somehow are able to put on 100% swiftness and they’re gone before the Shatterer falls. but in more cases than not, i’ve made acquiantances this way, and i’ll say friends even. albeit online in a game. : )) i add them to my friends list, which is ever growing. so i add nicknames to them so i know who’s who. : )))

for example, there’s someone, i try to run certain dungeons with. there’s another who i just met on map chat and never met in person (in-game) and we’re both after collecting all dyes, so whenever we have dupes, i sent them their way and vice versa. simple stuff like that.

hopefully you’re able to rekindle the passion for this game! as it sounds like you had it at one point, and that you do in fact enjoy playing the game. : )))

can’t stress enough, like Glitch said, take the first step! like in my silly e.g. above, most you’ll lose is a little pride perhaps, lol, as they run off ignoring you :ppp

my advice is look for a social guild. It took me a bit of time to find one that is pretty active, but once you do, the game becomes a blast. Even when I am soloing, I have gchat on and can carry a convo with my guildies while playing. Sure there are times when I can hear crickets in gchat, but for most of the time the guild is pretty lively.
