Guild Wars 2

It’s been said before and I’ll say it again. Even at prime time on my server (Anvil Rock), the mists feel desolate. What’s worse, however, is how difficult it is to find a team to play with. Personally, I’m trying to get back into the tPvP action after leaving the game for a few months; I haven’t been able to find a team whatsoever. I can only imagine what it must be like for new players just starting to try out the PvP scene.

In GW1, particularly HoH, the lobby wasn’t server specific and it was filled to the brim. There were several “districts” one could switch to at will, in case the main one was full. Finding a group there, even when you knew nobody, was a breeze.

I think this is essential if tPvP is going to make the comback everyone wants it to. It goes without saying that solo queue is a joke. If you want to see people gravitate out of the zergest that is hotjoin and start trying to organize teams for actual competitive play, creating a larger pool of active players is the only way you’ll see this start to happen.

Plus I’m kitten tired of trying to find people to play with, and hotjoin is getting terribly, terribly old.

Excellent, so it’s on a list… I suppose that’s the best we’re going to get for now.

This would probably be for the best and it really would help with forming teams on the fly for tournament play or practice. I wonder how much work it’d be to invert the overflow mechanic or to disable a standard “server specific” mapping for the mists such that everyone is naturally thrown into an overflow.

actually from that video it’s clear to me they’ll never do it. there will be lfg system. would be better to have both because seeing people online and moving around is much better than just seeing lfg messages.

I agree, I would much rather see the mists combined than use some lfg tool. I can see it now though: ANet will implement a lfg for dungeons, and just copy/paste it on over to PvP. I suppose it’s an improvement on the current system, but combining the mists would be a much better solution.

yes that’s exactly what they’ll do. i don’t know if anyone else has been noticing for instance that balance updates aren’t even remotely concerning pvp. they’re pve changes that can occasionally pass as pvp changes.
