Good post, OP. Honestly, the way PvE in this game is designed is fundamentally flawed. It just don’t work as a cooperative experience,

Playing dungeons in this game has made me want to go play WoW again…

What to do when group gets bugged

We solved this last night by having four of us stand some distance from the dungeon entrance. We then reset everyone by splitting up the group, and logging in to another character, then back to our original. After this, we reformed the group, sent the first person back into the dungeon, then the rest of us accepted the invite that popped up, and arrived.

One person had a problem again, but he simply left the group, while the rest of us waited inside the dungeon. He once again logged into another character and out again. Accepted our group invitation, then travelled to join us in the instance.

You think most people can be bothered messing around this much for what should work immediately?

Suggestion: LFG system/Dungeon finder?

Obviously not, for the very simple reason I just explained. Logic and yourself are obviously strangers.

You can queue for a dungeon using a LFG tool while being anywhere and doing anything. It encourages exploration. Being forced to stand outside the dungeon manually spamming chat means you cannot be doing whatever you want, obviously…

People sat around in cities in WoW because there was nothing else left to do except farm instances for a daily reward. It had absolutely nothing to do with the LFG tool.

If you think the LFG did not destroy WoW… no.
I can’t even think of something for you because you can’t be more wrong. Just the same as flying mounts and stuff. This is a game around a WORLD. No need to idle around in town and use porting tools.

Trying to find a group for instances was always a massive pain in thekitten until that LFG tool. I remember spending HOURS just sat in Ironforge looking for people to do BRD. During that time I wasn’t able to do anything else, because I had to look for people.

Your argument is fallacious and always has been. You probably never even played it.

It destroyed the entire WoW community, and would give absolutely no reason to explore or do dynamic events. I don’t see how these aren’t downsides.

No, it didn’t. I played WoW from US release to WotLK with some breaks. Trying to find a group for instances was always a massive pain in thekitten until that LFG tool. I remember spending HOURS just sat in Ironforge looking for people to do BRD. During that time I wasn’t able to do anything else, because I had to look for people.
If you join a queue for a dungeon finder, you would be free to go wherever you please and explore to your heart’s content. This isn’t possible without it, since you need to be at the very least in the zone the instance is located in, spamming /s or /y for a group.

That’s not even remotely true. I used the exact same gear for AC that I used for CM (lvl 41 pow/pre armour and level 35 vit/toughness jewelry.

AC is much harder.

Leaderboards for Dungeons

The competition in PvE is against the game. I don’t suppose it could hurt to have a fastest times leaderboard, but does it really matter? People who care about that stuff will compare it with each other anyway.

I consider not bothering to include a LFG tool lazy, yes.

There is absolutely no downside to having one. When people want to do a dungeon, they want to do a dungeon. They don’t want to have to stand around spamming messages in zone chat looking for people when they could just click to join a queue of other people who also want to do it.

Only a fanboy would defend the lack of this feature, just like SWToR fanboys did.

Standing there spamming “Warrior LFG for CM EM” is not social. It’s just a waste of time and an annoyance when people start using zone chat to do it.

WoW tried making trash stupidly hard. People hated it for a good reason.

Make Dungeons give percentage-based experience

No matter what your level? People could just farm the easiest dungeon to hit level cap in a matter of hours.

Is it actually possible to melee in dungeons?

It seems to me that wandering into melee range as a warrior is a death sentence if the boss decides to target you.
Dodge should only be needed for big, telegraphed attacks that players have no excuse not to be avoiding. For how much Anet blathered on about there being no “holy trinity” it seems like they lied. You need to rely on other classes to protect you just as much as in traditional MMOs. The only difference seems to be that it’s not very effective.

Being able to heal 1/3 of my HP at best every 30 seconds is a bit of a joke when a normal boss hit does almost that much.

Am I not understanding something, or is this game just really poorly designed? It seems like they changed what wasn’t broken just to be different.

I cannot believe that you could actually release an MMO these days where people have to stand outside the instance spamming /s to manually get a group together.

It’s incredibly lazy and makes what should be a simple affair take far more time than it needs to.
