Guild Wars 2

Robert Hrouda.1327:

there are currently no plans to implement a dungeon finder.

If you are having trouble finding groups for dungeons, you can use our LFG system. Open up your contacts menu in-game, and there should be an option in there for grouping. That way it’s not just people standing out in front of dungeons shouting LFG until someone invites them. This system does not stretch across servers, or to other maps.

Hardly anyone uses the LFG system from Contacts. It could be that people dont know its there or it could be that these LFG systems where you put your name on some list has never worked for any MMORPG that has ever used them.

Systems like these are only as useful as he number of people in the system. If there is no one in the system then the system is useless. If the system is useless then why is it in the game?

Why are you neglecting a system that does work for a system that does not work?

Its great that you are revealing some of the behind the scenes data but the major statistic would be – average wait time.

Ive been in the queue for upwards 4 hours some times. I was part of the 30% that got in but only after waiting 4 hours.

This would only fix 1 problem in a laundry list of problems with the dungeons.

Universal tokens wouldn’t fix broken mechanics, nearly unkillable bosses and rewards that are not worth the effort expended.

The biggest problem with dungeons right now that ArenaNet is probably unwilling to fix is that people have no incentive to do the dungeons.

Adding universal tokens won’t mean squat if people still avoid the dungeons like the plague.

“and here ya go.”

So, you fully dead, 3 other people Downed and the last person at 10% and about to go Down in less than a second before being saved by the bell is “doable” to you?

Are you serious?!

All your video proved is that you got lucky. A last second, skin of your teeth, Hail Mary win doesnt prove its “doable”.

Welcome to rush job, knee jerk reaction “fixes”.

Do you think this patch was actually tested? Of course not.

I would chalk this up to a rookie MMORPG developer mistake but this just seems vindictive.

Welcome to knee jerk reactions with little to no testing.

Very common rookie MMORPG developer mistake.
