Guild Wars 2

I’ve been a persistent advocate of a better grouping system since BW1. The group UI still does not work in WvW. The commander and squad grouping system is completely useless for the guilds that like creating private havoc forces to stay under the 25 person limit. There is no in game option for private/guild squads.

There has been a ton of suggestions and feedback from many people requesting that grouping systems be given a priority in WvW before “new” content and mastery lines. This feedback as been ongoing since BW1. Whatever resources were available to WvW devs should have been used to create a flexible and functional system allowing players to group and organize in a modern day MMO. It’s one of the most frustrating things for our guild in WvW.

I feel a year is a reasonable time to address one of the fundamental features of a MMO – the ability to group and organize players easily. This is my last thread on this issue and I hope it gets changed one day… the expiry date is well overdue.

The grouping system is not under the WvW dev’s control as he’s already stated. I assume the people who would improve this function are the same people who’ve been making a LFG tool for the better part of a year which is why you’ve seen zero advancements. I do agree that this NEEEEEDS to happen as soon as yesterday however I always see the hate/blame directed towards the WvW team when it’s not their job.

To a degree… yes. But pressure and priority can be applied via the WvW lead and collectively made a focus by Anet in general. I personally don’t feel that’s been done. You can’t do everything at once, but leaving the grouping system in WvW this way for a year without basic functionality is a mystery.

Social grouping in a MMO is a big part of the game, and we can’t currently do it easily or effectively in WvW.

Broken User Interfaces and comm systems is bad, 1 year is too long.
Guild alliances and alliance channel, why didn’t they do this?

I’m suprised at some of the features the left out as well. GW2 has done so many things right, I’m completely perplexed at the social grouping systems currently in the game. It’s simply hard to group, organize and communicate easily and efficiently in Gw2.

They sure have the resources to pump out new living story content every two weeks, but we still deal with an non functioning group ui in WvW and the inability to make private guild squads for events.
