I’ve been away from GW2 for months. The game joiner is a little different, now, and I think I’m doing something wrong. I’ve tried joining games with Play Now or selecting a game from the list and selecting Join Game, but I end up in Spectator mode almost all the time.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong or is this a new “feature”?

Thanks

(BTW, what’s up with forum search? I searched on “Spectator” and I zero results. Somehow, I doubt that’s an accurate result.)

Maybe the server was already full? There are spectator-places left, even when the player spots are already full.

Server till the number 99 are 8vs8 server (with 4 places left for spectators)
Higher numbers are only 5vs5 server (with 10 places left for spectators)

Forum search is crap, always was as far as I can remember.

Over a year and the forum search is still broken = /
