Guild Wars 2

My thief is currently level 23 and all the gear I can find with condition damage also has precision on it. Isn’t precision almost useless for a condition theif?

Here it is. On the development of the LFG tool, as of ~5 Dec 2012:

Robert Hrouda.1327:

the problem with rough estimates is that if I gave a date, that’s /the/ date everyone will expect it. Then, if it’s not ready, people get upset with us. It’s just best to say “we’re on it!” and try to get it out as quick as we can, with as much awesome functionality as we can

but.. to evoke Colin Johandsome: “When it’s ready.”

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

I understand where you are coming from but I’ll probably just run into the same problem of not being able to find a group when I hit level 40. I feel really unmotivated to play now.

Yeah I tried that LFG tool in the contact, I didn’t get any responses.

I’m not going to lie, the process for transitioning into dungeons is woeful. There’s a sharp difficulty spike from the overworld into dungeons and when you get there you’re expected to know how to work in a group, manage aggro, and a bunch of other stuff that there’s no real reason to learn in the overworld.

They’re pretty fun, though, once you know what you’re doing. It can just be a rough process getting there. The best experience is to do them with friends, or, failing that, guildies.

In terms of third party stuff, I hear people have had some success with gw2lfg.com, which the GW2 devs have straight up recommended as a solution until they get it working in game. I can’t vouch for its quality – I’ve never had any success finding a group with it – but other people swear by it.

So Anet have confirmed that they are working on a LFG tool?

Boristos – if this is your first character, hitting level 30 for the first time, I strongly recommend waiting before doing AC. You are just going to die a lot, and get frustrated, and have a bad day.

Most experienced players agree AC is easy – but it’s not when you’re doing it for the first time. It’s much harder than comparable early dungeons in any other MMO I’ve played – it is, like all the GW2 dungeons, tuned to an endgame level of difficulty and skill.

I’d recommend starting off with Caudecus Manor (CM) at level 40, which is easier and more straightforward, and I’d recommend if at all possible doing it with friends or members of your guild, who are inclined to be patient while you die again and again (and again, from different angles).

People don’t want to do AC with you at 30 because you are, frankly, likely to just make the dungeon take longer and be less fun for them. Helping people out is all well and good, and I encourage it, but when it’s the difference between doing the dungeon in 25 minutes and doing it in 50, and the difference between zero repairs and up to 20 silver in repairs, you can see why they wouldn’t feel that generous.

EDIT: Also, there is a really crappy LFG tool in the game, it’s in your Contacts menu. It’s just that it’s not very useful and no-one uses it.

I understand where you are coming from but I’ll probably just run into the same problem of not being able to find a group when I hit level 40. I feel really unmotivated to play now.

Probably not for the near future maybe someday.

Even one similar to GW1 missions would be better than none at all.

I feel pretty bummed out right now because I just hit level 30 and could find a group that wanted to do AC. Everyone wanted people with experience.
