Guild Wars 2

What I am proposing is a very simple addition that would greatly increase the community and amount of teams in PvP.

At the top of the screen, where your PvP UI is located ( right now there is only PvP Build and Play PvP buttons), add one more tab for LFG.

The LFG tool is already in game, BUT NO ONE USES IT ! I am not sure if people don’t know if it is there, or no one uses it because there is no one else looking for a group…. but if they put it right on the PvP UI, many people, especially new players to PvP, would use it because it is much easier to find and much more accessible.

Anet could easily just add the button and make it link to the existing LFG tool and auto sort you into the PvP section, or they could make it match the fancy new PvP UI. Either would work!!

Thanks for reading, hopefully Anet sees this because I think it would be a very easy and very big change for this game.

the reason I think no one’s using it cause of the unfamiliarity of the player skills in pvp. each one has its own playing level skills and if your just looking for people your not familiar with, you’ll probably end up loosing to a premade teams which knows each other very well.

Isnt it redundant since matchmaking works mostly like lfg now?

Matchmaking and works can be used together in many places, but not here.

Well with the lfg tool you make a party so you queue with the same group instead of new people each match. You can make a group with a good team composition rather than having like three thieves for example.

Of course since you don’t know these players or how good they are, you queue for unranked and if you do well you can do ranked. Or you can just meet people as you go from unranked that you think are good or want to play with in the future and add them to your friends list. It just encourages people to form groups.

In this case ppl group for pvp with friends or go in solo so they don’t need lfg.
I would not use lfg to search for a team with ppl I don’t know.

Well of course some players are going to be more reserved than others and prefer to play by themselves, but I think many others would want to find others to play with. It is just makes it easier for people to find friends to pvp with.

If they would want it they would use current lfg, like they do for dungeons or open world.

Maybe your right, I never played PvE so i wouldn’t really know. I just remember in GW1 there were always tons of people looking for groups and wondered why it was not the same here.

I actually noticed that there was a section for sPvP in the LFG Tool like 4 months ago (well, it took me 3 months since I came back to the game to notice that – I wasn’t playing when it was added) but, to my disappointment, nobody never ever use it. It feels like it’s a waste of a Tool.

In my opinion, most players seem to be condescending over other players. I think it would increase the health of the sPvP community itself, but that’s just an unfounded supposition I make. I’d like that the Tool got used, but players keep wanting to play solo on a game mode that is PUG unfriendly. (If you make a team before going into queue via the LFG Tool you could be able to know a little your teammates and set up any kind of team comp or, at least, a strategy to use in the next games).

Just my thoughts on this.

Yeah I agree. The thing with pvp players is a lot will teak breaks and I’m sure many missed the lfg announcement. And if its right in your face like that many more people are bound to use it, which is will definitely help the community.

+1, I soloq a lot when my guildmates aren’t around. Would be nice to be able to test and trial randoms that can work well together and make friendsies when I play offtimes of my guild.

1) if ranks werent made meaningless

2) a working ladder , with MMR visible

With this the LFG could be prety useful – especialy in offpeak hours.
