Guild Wars 2

Flyfunner.2093:

Why can’t they just have a list from all servers from your region showing who is up for a dungeon and which dungeon. Then you can still pm them to make a group but don’t have to go MAP TO MAP or sit in LA ALL DAY spamming LFG

Well they did kind of have a list like that in GW1. You would open the Party Search window and it would categorize everything (Trade, Missions, Quest, Guild, etc). If you typed say “LFG CM Story” in to any chat, it would automatically put you into the Party Search window so others can see your request.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Party_Search

And some examples of what the window looked like (plus a screenshot I just took of it just now ingame).

Kouken.8604:

good god please no, this game does not need a LFG system, a dungeon finder only further removes the social aspect of dungeon groups,

dungeons need to be made more difficult so they cant simply be pugged to force people to make friends with good players and join guilds etc,

Please stop asking for solutions to player laziness, next up you will want instant teleports to the dungeon once the group is formed…………

Calm down. You seem to confuse LFG tool in GW, with the Dungeon Finder tool in WoW. They are not the same.

Anet has already stated they do not plan to implement a Dungeon Finder tool. And that is a good thing. We don’t need a LFD tool. So don’t worry on that.

Anet has said they are looking to improve the already existing LFG tool. And after a huge discussion on this in another thread, I realized that is fine. If they implement a system like they had in GW1, it would be just dandy. No complaints.

But as of now, there is no new information on the progress. When they have it, they will let us know.

It’s called have patience and wait for CS to get back to you. Three hours is nothing. You are not the only person who is contacting support for an issue, so you have to wait like everyone else. Don’t expect an instant reply and have patience.

As well, don’t make a thread here about it. There is nothing we (as a community) can do about this. And CMs don’t respond to tickets in a public forum. So you’re wasting your breath and as well, breaking the rules.

Simply, have patience and wait. They’ll get to your ticket in the order it was received (I believe things like this though, get bumped up in priority, unsure on that though).

It’s been 250 years. Time has torn it apart.

It wasn’t meant to show any of your achievements from GW1. It was just a place to go to collect your “heirlooms” from GW1.

So no, it’s not a bug. It’s meant to look like that.

Do we really need yet another thread about this? You couldn’t have searched and posted this in one of the many other threads about this same subject?

Playing on Tarnished Coast here and none of the areas ever feel empty. People are constantly leveling alts and running DE’s there. Been working on my 4th 80 now, and in all that time, have yet to come across a dead zone.

Maybe you should try to find a guild of players who enjoy leveling or are willing to help you level. Or makes some friends and level up together. You can make all the difference if you go out and actually make friends and find people to play with. If it’s a world issue, transfer to a new one and try that out. We have free transfers every week, so feel free to jump around and find a good community that suits you, if you have no attachments to your current world.

Echo.7634:

Each racial armor has 3 different sets.
There are 7 different crafted armor sets.
There are 8 different dungeon armor sets.
There is 1 karma armor set.

That is 19 different sets of amror you have available to you.
Most of the armor sets mix and match quite nicely too.

Just an FYI, there is a lot more than just one Karma set. Pretty much every level area has a different Karma set. And don’t forget rare sets that drop as well, exotics that have unique sets, sets that you get from your Personal Story, and then of course the different types for each armor type (light, medium, and heavy).

It really depends on your world, friends, guild, and then of course altoholics.

On Tarnished Coast, there is still plenty of players in the low to mid level zones to group up with. It is hard to go to an area where there is barely anyone.

As well, I’d suggest finding yourself a good guild and some friends who also enjoy leveling alts. Doing things as a guild or with friends while leveling will help with the whole “dead zone” thing. Plus it helps leveling go by quick with friends/guildmates to chat with. Or ask around here on the forums. A lot of players will put up threads asking for others that want to level alts together. Great way to meet new friends too.

How many threads do we really need on this subject? It’s like almost every week there is a new thread about this.

Honestly, I think the price is fine. People always complain that they have nothing to do at 80. Well if you want that armor, there ya go. Something to do and work towards. And before I get the usual, “you just don’t want your effort going to waste if they lower the price”, I don’t have T3 on anyone. I am working for T3 on my Human Thief and my Norn Guardian. It gives me something to do.

Another thing you gotta look at though, is all those people who do have it already will be upset if you drop the price to match the faction armors. They will expect refunds for spending over 100+ gold on something that is now 10 gold. Either way, whether you lower the price or not, someone is going to be upset over it.

And don’t really compare it to Obsidian armor from GW1. Obsidian armor in GW1, you had to work for. You actually had to do FoW and do the quests to unlock the crafter for it. As well as the farming for Obsidian Shards and Ecto (if you didn’t have the gold to buy them). I remember solo Rit farming in UW to get all my Ecto for my Obsidian armor in GW1. Then having to head out of Droks to craft my Elonian Leather and trade Ecto for Obsidian Shards (didn’t feel like running FoW over and over for all my shards so traded for some of them). Then get a group of friends together and go do FoW to craft my Obsidian gear. Felt great finally getting it after all that work.

With T3 Cultural, you don’t have that feeling of accomplishment. You just toss down some money and you got it. Heck, you can even spend real money to get it if you wanted to. There is no work involved in getting T3 Cultural, so don’t compare it to Obsidian armor.

And like Arquin said, they did give warning already.

When Christmas comes around, sure I will.

For Halloween I picked up the Witch costume and a couple keys to try my go at some chests. Wasn’t disappointed as I got some useful stuff (didn’t get the skins, but still got stuff I could use at least).

As long as they have a Santa suit or even an Elf suit, I’ll definitely be spending money again. And I definitely hope to see Wintergreen weapon skins make a comeback. Or even the Gingerbread Shield/Focus and Candy Cane weapons. Those were the best.

Hexyn.8462:

Fair point, however referring to your original comment you mention dungeons. There are players who avoid them as they find them too difficult, should they also be awarded with all relative achievements, POI’s and gear without having the skill to complete them?

No they shouldn’t. But I was referring to obtaining exotics, not everything else. There is other options to obtaining exotics. If one option doesn’t work for them, they can pursue a different option that works for them. They don’t have to do the Clock Tower just to get an exotic item. There is many other ways of obtaining them.

Now if you want the achievement, you have to do the Clock Tower. And rightfully so. There is just no other way around that, and there shouldn’t be either. But then again, it is an achievement. It offers no benefit and nothing special. It is a personal accomplishment. And that can’t be earned through different means.

But again, if you just want the exotic at the end, there is other options for you to get an exotic.

Hexyn.8462:

SpyderArachnid.5619:

Thing is, everyone could get exotics before the Halloween Event. Anyone can craft, anyone can spend money in the Trading Post, anyone can farm a mob, anyone can get map completion, and anyone can run a dungeon. You aren’t singling anyone out cause those are thing everyone is capable of doing. But with the Clock Tower, not everyone can do it. Even Anet said they only expect 5% of their player base to complete it. Meaning they made exotics drop in something only 5% of the player base can actually do, forgetting over 95% of their player base by making content they cannot do to earn “endgame” gear (exotics).

Using the same example, I personally don’t enjoy crafting, I find it tedious and monotonous so I skip it all together. Therefore I can’t see myself crafting an exotic any time soon, I’m also missing the chance to be able to craft some of the items that are available during this event.

I understand that Crafting doesnt require dexterous skill to complete however it does require patience and planning (which I’m bad at). I’m not going to blame Anet for my own inadequacy.

There’s a difference between choosing not to do something, and just not being capable of doing it. They are not the same thing. You aren’t physically unable to craft as a player like with jumping puzzles.

Crafting is easy. Anyone can follow a guide online or just craft random stuff to level it. It requires no skill to do as a player. Jumping puzzles on the other hand require you to have the skill to actually accomplish them as a player. If your hands aren’t quick enough and you can’t focus properly (and have medical issues that cause problems), then it will be impossible for you to accomplish them. No guide or anything else will get you through a jumping puzzle if you don’t have the physical skill or capability as a player to do it.

I think the biggest complaint I’ve heard about this, is the fact that those that can complete the Clock Tower, are being awarded “endgame” gear (exotics) just for doing it. So people who can’t do it, are upset that they don’t have that access to exotics like others do. So Anet basically singled out a lot of their population with this, and then gave “endgame” gear to only those that can do it.

Thing is, everyone could get exotics before the Halloween Event. Anyone can craft, anyone can spend money in the Trading Post, anyone can farm a mob, anyone can get map completion, and anyone can run a dungeon. You aren’t singling anyone out cause those are thing everyone is capable of doing. But with the Clock Tower, not everyone can do it. Even Anet said they only expect 5% of their player base to complete it. Meaning they made exotics drop in something only 5% of the player base can actually do, forgetting over 95% of their player base by making content they cannot do to earn “endgame” gear (exotics).

The achievement itself isn’t a big issue. It doesn’t count towards the main achievement, and you aren’t rewarded anything for it. So if you are complaining about not getting an achievement, then big deal. You get nothing special for having the achievement, so I see no reason to be upset over an achievement. Now if you are complaining about the above that I posted, then I understand. Even though, there is other ways for someone to get exotics besides the Clock Tower. Just that is one option that Anet has prevented you from getting gear from if you are unable to do it. You are obviously one of the 95% that they don’t think can do it, so you best find another option.

Honestly, I haven’t done it myself. I tried for a good two hours, but I don’t have the twitch and personally I feel platforming is not this game’s strong suit. The controls using a keyboard and mouse weren’t meant for this type of platforming in my opinion. But I know it is content that I don’t have to do and I’m fine with that. I can farm exotics other ways, and if I want the Mad King’s set, I can just buy it on the Trading Post.

Small issue I’ve noticed. Sometimes when I’m reading a thread, I’ll see a post get a +1 from me. Yet I never clicked the +1. It just randomly happens.

I end up clicking the +1 again to remove it, but just curious if this is happening for anyone else.

The big massive bosses/world events are only triggered by doing several dynamic/meta events to lead up to the big bosses.

Like Vespers said, there is several dragons out there to fight. As well as the Behemoth you mentioned in Queensdale. But not everything is a big beast. There is a giant world event in the Centaur lands where you have to take over all the Centaur camps and then go assault the main base. There you will meet a Champion Centaur who is another world boss. It’s a massive scale fight to get to him and when you finally do, he summons these flaming Beasts that you have to fight off first before you can take him on.

There is also the Lake world boss in the Norn area as well. Out at the Frozen Lake there is a boss there that you have to fight. Another massive battle that involves destroying portals to stop the Ice Elementals that are coming through, then taking on the man himself.

But like I said, most require you to do several dynamic/meta events that lead up to it. They aren’t just waiting for you like regular events are. If you are ever wondering what the big massive event is in an area, look at the top right of your screen under World Event. It helps you understand the stage it is at and what all still needs to be done to get it started.

Did it three times and got two greens, some crafting mats (the reward at the end), ToT bags, 10 slot ToT bag, and a BLTC salvage kit.

First time I was disappointed cause I solo’d it on my Mesmer and all I got was a green and the 10 slot ToT bag. Expected something better for all that work.

But after doing it with a group a couple times after that, I got the random mats and the BLTC salvage kit. Which I was happy to get cause I needed a new salvage kit for rare salvaging.

So all in all, not so bad. Heard others are getting weapon skins though, so might run it some more now just for that (already spent too much. on. keys for lottery).

Just an FYI, they are testing out the new FOV settings now to fix the issues that have been bugging people. Maybe you had a glitch with the new settings affecting your current ones?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FOV-Field-of-View-Changes-Beta-Test-Feedback-Thread

Give it a try for yourselves. In my opinion, it is a nice improvement over the current FOV.

@Nordslayer (sorry quote is borked at the moment for me)

You don’t “have” to use master kits, but it increases the chance of course. Personally I just use a basic kit for salvaging random items like whites, blues, and greens. But I have a bunch of BLTC Salvage Kits in my bank from getting lucky with chests that I save just for rares. Master kits are pretty much the same thing, just a slightly lower chance.

Best to just pick one up when you get the money for it, and toss it in the bank. Then just save it for when you absolutely need it.

If you are level 80, are you using Fine Transmutation Stones? Cause you have to use the Fine ones to transmute level 80 gear.

Skill choices are based on your weapon now, instead of just random skills for everything.

As for Damage Over Time spells, maybe Condition damage would work for you? Engineers are probably the best when it comes to Condition damage, but every profession has trait lines that help boost condition damage. Just Engineers make the most of it with their skills.

Just all personal preference of course, as others might feel differently.

Nordslayer.5390:

Ok gonna sound like a real noob but what are ectos?

Rare crafting material used to make Legendaries. You get them from salvaging rare items. They are actually called Glob of Ectoplasm. But since GW1, people have always called them just Ecto.

As for your rares OP, just sell the low level ones for now if you aren’t using them. I don’t believe they give you ecto, only the level 70-80 ones do (unsure on this).

Kindly stop trying to impose your playstyle and or unfounded opinions on other players.

Lest you want to be treated the same way you treat other people.

Wow, umm… hypocrite much? That is exactly what you have been doing. Take your own advice friend.

And the reason I am against a LFD tool, is because the game is already becoming easier and easier with all the changes they keep making. If they add a LFD tool, it just adds to that. I’m sorry, but I’m tired of everything being handed out to players cause they complain enough on the forums cause they refuse to do any work to get things done, so Anet changes stuff to make it easier for them.

Im imposing my opinion by which you mean explaining to you on why giving players a choice is a good thing?

I can deal with that, at least I’m not imposing an ultimatum on other players based o how much I like the game the way it is and because I’ve had to work at it and I don’t want other players to make me feel like my EFFORT was squandered and become trivialized.

But yes, if that is your definition of hypocrite then sure.

“I’m sorry, but I’m tired of everything being handed out to players cause they complain enough on the forums cause they refuse to do any work to get things done, so Anet changes stuff to make it easier for them”

Your reasons are for selfish reasons.
You want things to remain difficult because you can deny this but from the way you are presenting it you sound like you dont want your achievements on a game to become trivial, to that I say, REALLY? It’s just a game.

And to recap, you already admitted to not knowing what it’s like to LFG for a long period without having any luck in forming a group. You really are in no position to impose an opinion on this matter. You’re welcome to have an opinion like everyone else but to impose them in an ultimatum because of how you feel the current Anet trend is going is the ultimate definition in selfishness.

Yet again, it seems I’m the selfish one cause I use the features that Anet has provide for me to find groups, and I suggested that others do the same. So instantly I’m at fault here cause I shouldn’t suggest other people to use the features already there, instead of telling them to go tell Anet to give them a LFD tool instead.

Is it so wrong for people to try out the other options provided to them before they ask for an easier way out? No, it’s not.

And who are you to tell me I can’t have an opinion? Did you pay more money than me to post here? Are you a shareholder or work for Anet? You have no right to tell me that I can’t express my concerns over this matter. I’m sorry but you are not a moderator so who do you think you are that you can dictate what exactly has meaning on this forum and what is allowed? That is just rude if I may say so. This is an open forum for all players to post our opinions and concerns on. Don’t try to dictate it like you own it.

Edit: I think I’m done with this discussion. When you start telling me what my “position” is on these forums and what I am allowed and not allowed to do, that is just rude. I have no respect for anyone that thinks they are above someone else and can tell them what they are not allowed to do.

Rizzy.8293:

THANK YOU, thank you for admitting you don’t know what these people are going through.

I never once ever said I did. So there was nothing to admit to. I simply gave alternative solutions, thus bringing up finding a guild.

Rizzy.8293:

A Dungeon finder system isn’t going to ruin your gaming experience since as you said, you don’t LFG anymore you do it with your guild. You wont even have to touch it and youve still not answered the question.

“Why is giving players a Dungeon Finder/LFD system a bad thing?”

I cut off the rest cause you and I really don’t want to go in circles saying the same things over and over again. lol

But as for the last part, I never said it was a bad thing. I said it was pointless. I have answered the question many times, you just refuse to see it.

So I’m just going to stop repeating myself over and over and just summarize this up.

The only reason people want a LFD tool is for “ease of access”. There is several options already available to people to find groups for dungeons, just they don’t want to use them or put in any effort to deal with them. They want an insta-click button to form groups for them so they don’t have to. It seems other games have spoiled players to the point that if they don’t have a LFD tool, they don’t know what to do. So they come to forums to tell Anet to implement one instead of using the features already provided for them.

So again, LFD tool is pointless. I didn’t say bad, I said pointless. You already have the features available to you to get groups, you just refuse to use them. So you want Anet to give you an easy way out so you don’t have to bother with it.

If you play on Tarnished Coast and are looking for a dungeon farming guild, by all means go ahead and join. Toss me a whisper in game and we’ll help you out as long as you are willing to do the same in return. It’s not a charity guild. You have to be willing to help others if you expect help in return.

I have and I left because of this exact reason, my way or the highway.
You are arguing for an ultimatum.
I’m bringing up a choice.

I left TC for Jade Quarry, a well balanced, PVP PVE Dugeon server where I have no real difficulty pugging unless its off american peak hours.

This is something I care about for my fellow players who want to do dungeons but have a hard time finding a group because they don’t have the time to do what you do, find spend time to find a guild that does dungeons or have 4 other players on a whim ready to do the dungeon you want to do.

And when they implement LFD system, if anything its only going to benefit me during off american peak hours. Whats the harm?

Why do you come here complaining about how people are being lazy when this is a genuine issue on certain servers, telling them they should come to my server? guess what my server is full.

Back when server transfer didnt have a cooldown sure maybe but then again why would they HAVE to switch servers just to find people to dungeon with?

Maybe they have real life friends who are on that server and like its low population but dont play as much as that one person.

Why would giving players the Dungeon Finder system so bad, all I’ve heard you say is, people need to put in the effort as if its their fault for not trying hard enough.

First off, don’t assume you know me. I didn’t spend hours roleplaying to find a guild. That doesn’t even make sense. Again, it’s not hard nor time consuming to find a decent guild. You just have to put in a little effort and find one. No one says it will take hours upon hours to find a guild. If you’re smart and intelligent (which I’m going to assume you are), it should only take you a few minutes to find a proper guild that will do things that you want to do. And if you have friends, that’ll make the search much more easier.

And this has nothing to do with ruining my own personal effort. It’s called why implement a feature when there is already features in the game that you can access to do the same thing? All LFD does is make it easier without any effort on your part. Have people really become that spoiled off LFD in other games that when a game doesn’t have that feature, they can’t handle putting in a little effort of their own to find a group? So instead, they come complain on the forums.

Edit: And NOW the quote option and page starts working again. Figures. lol

Your server does not mirror every other server, you do understand this right?

And as far as your “effort” argument goes read above paragraph.

And really have you tried the LFG system they have right, really tried it.
The one that puts a blue person next to your name with a magnifying glass without letting people know what it is your specifically LFGing for?

Thats the Pinnacle of the LFG system we have and this is how you want it to remain?

Im sorry but thats a JOKE system.
Only thing its great for is zerging DEs and WVWVW where theres one clear objective, thats what the current LFG tool is for.

Complain, really?
So now you’re the webmaster and you decide which is feedback and which is complain?

Now why are you against a feature that would make it easier for people to PUG and find other people they will party with in the future for more dungeon runs and hell maybe even get together and form a dungeon guild.

Its how I met my guild, through a pug.

So when was helping others so others would help you such a bad thing? Sorry maybe my manners and respect are too old for this generation, but when I want help, I help others in return. I believe in treat others as you want to be treated. I didn’t realize that was such a bad thing these days.

And I never had to use the LFG system here. Because as I said, I found a guild to do all that stuff with. Why rely on just the LFG system to find a group when there is other options available? Just cause you don’t like one feature, doesn’t mean that is the only choice and you can’t search out other options.

So you need a LFD tool to find other players to do dungeons with and find a guild, instead of doing that ahead of time? Why does a LFD feature need to do that for you when you can yourself make friends and find a guild? Not a really a good point there when you can already do this normally without a LFD feature.

Most of the time I just think of them as scouts or guards. Whenever I see mobs just standing around in areas “observing”, I assume they are doing exactly that. Scoping out the area to report back to command.

But what you’re asking is a huge undertaking for a small thing. To program pretty much every mob to be unique to have different pathing and not just stand around would take quite awhile. Not to mention a lot of worthless work when you go through all that just to have the mob killed over and over.

@Rizzy

In the end though, it will eventually be a bad time for someone and someone will complain.

Honestly, there is no good time for anything. Someone will always have to work, be in bed, have something else important to do, etc etc. Doesn’t matter if they use a new time zone or a new custom time zone. Someone will always miss out and they will come and complain.

Yeah I was going to wait for the quote thing to start working again and my page to stop turning blank every time I visit this thread, but oh well. My mistake for not responding as there was really nothing new to add to that post. But I’ll go ahead and respond if it’ll make ya feel better.

So everyone should join this guild then since they’re sooo helpful?

If you play on Tarnished Coast and are looking for a dungeon farming guild, by all means go ahead and join. Toss me a whisper in game and we’ll help you out as long as you are willing to do the same in return. It’s not a charity guild. You have to be willing to help others if you expect help in return.

Did guildwars2 not market itself as a casual friendly game.
You do understand that not everyone is like you able to spend hours on end roleplaying on a video game and want to get things done quick and fast right?
Another alien concept?
And you’re finally getting the idea behind “Dont like it, dont use it”.
So what’s the harm in adding an LFD?
Because you like seeing your work not get trivialized because you did all that “research” into finding an awesome carebear guild that roleplays and does dungeons and that LFD will just ruin and marginalize the effort you put into this game, This is a game, if you hold achievements on it that dearly then… really? Im lost for words.

First off, don’t assume you know me. I didn’t spend hours roleplaying to find a guild. That doesn’t even make sense. Again, it’s not hard nor time consuming to find a decent guild. You just have to put in a little effort and find one. No one says it will take hours upon hours to find a guild.

And you expect that the whole community moves like that? I have to help others in order to get what i want? Why should I? That’s not how i want to spend my short time in the game i can play a day. I want sometimes to run dungeons, and in other moments i get bored of them and maybe dont go to one in 2 weeks, then i farm more pieces of my cosmetic armor. And that IS totally fine, because that’s how i want to play. I dont have to be by anyways attached to other people needs.

And this is not a selfish this statement. I paid for a game, and i want to play it when and how i want it. And if i want to run all my armor in 3 days and not enter a dungeon for two months, I should be able to do it with no problems at all.

So let me get this straight. You want to play an MMO, without having to deal with other players. You only want what you want, and could care less about anyone else. You want people to do things for you, without you doing anything for them. Yeah, that’s purely selfish.

Sure you paid for this game and want to play it how and when you want. But you paid for an MMO, not a single player game. You kind of have to work with other players to get what you want. And that means helping them out as well in order for them to help you out. I’m sorry but people are not at your beckon call. You have to actually do things for others to get them to do stuff for you. The world doesn’t revolve around you.

And having an LFD system, a system which makes players group together faster, somehow hinders player cooperation.
Logic?

If anything you’re the selfish one, because you sound like you want everyone to go through the work you’ve done to enjoy the game the way YOU enjoy it.

I’m sorry for being selfish for using the features that are already available to me to find people to do dungeons with. How selfish of me to think that anyone else should be able to use these same features to find themselves a dungeon. I should be more sympathetic to the people who want a LFD feature to do all the work for them cause they are lazy and can’t take the time or effort to find groups themselves like I did.

Yeah, I’m selfish for being resourceful with the features provided to me and assuming that anyone else can do it as well. I keep forgetting that others want things done for them without any effort on their part.

I want sometimes to run dungeons, and in other moments i get bored of them and maybe dont go to one in 2 weeks, then i farm more pieces of my cosmetic armor. And that IS totally fine, because that’s how i want to play. I dont have to be by anyways attached to other people needs.

And this is not a selfish this statement. I paid for a game, and i want to play it when and how i want it. And if i want to run all my armor in 3 days and not enter a dungeon for two months, I should be able to do it with no problems at all.

So let me get this straight. You want to play an MMO, without having to deal with other players. You only want what you want, and could care less about anyone else. You want people to do things for you, without you doing anything for them. Yeah, that’s purely selfish.

Sure you paid for this game and want to play it how and when you want. But you paid for an MMO, not a single player game. You kind of have to work with other players to get what you want. And that means helping them out as well in order for them to help you out. I’m sorry but people are not at your beckon call. You have to actually do things for others to get them to do stuff for you. The world doesn’t revolve around you.

But, guess what, i already found a good guild: A guild with friends. I have to change it just to go dungeon? Is that really your argument? Or I have to convince my friends to move to another guild?

Sorry to tell you, but it’s totally flawed. If im a WvW player, i have to have a guild for WvW and switch to de PvE one to go PvE? And if i have also one for pvp i have to have a third guild for tPvP? Kind of impractical don’t you think? :/

If it really was a good guild with friends, then why are you complaining? If they were your friends, they would run dungeons with you when you need help. If they are blowing you off when you want to do dungeons, then they aren’t really your friends now are they? True friends would help you out as long as you are helping them.

And what is wrong with having multiple guilds? The feature is in the game for a reason. It is designed so if you want that guild of nothing but friends, you can still join that PvP guild and that farming guild if you want as well. Then whenever you want to do other things, represent whichever guild it calls for. AND, if they are your friends, they will understand that you want to do other things, so you will be representing another guild for a bit to do those other things.

Otherwise, I think you should be questioning your friendship with these people more than anything else if they won’t help you with anything.

What the kitten? Man, if they are in WvW, they’ll stay in WvW. If they are having fun in PvP, i wont disturb them because i want to do other thing. That reasoning is really dumb man…

Anyway, i don’t really see the difference between being in a guild for 5-10-60 mins to spam “anybody want to do X?” instead of “lfg X” in LA. Different chat maybe? It improves my odds of getting the dungeon maybe, considering they wont kick me from it for just being a while representing and not helping really with the sense of that guild to PvE.

Then you and your friends like different things. If they only want to sit in PvP, and you want to do dungeons, then that is the reason for the multiple guild feature. Find a guild that want to do dungeons.

And again, if you are spamming your guild for a dungeon, then you didn’t research a good enough guild to do dungeons with. If you find yourself a good enough guild, then you don’t have to spam. They will even be asking you to do dungeons with them.

It’s called treat others as you wish to be treated. If you help them, they’ll help you. You can’t expect to find a guild just to do what you want to do and that’s it. You have to be willing to help them with what they need and they will help you in return.

How is it ridiculous to use the features provided to you? There is options, you just refuse to use them. Instead you want Anet to do all your work for you so you don’t have to do any. Nothing ridiculous about that, you just don’t want to do any effort, so you complain on the forums for a LFD system instead of doing things yourself. That, is what is ridiculous.

And like I already said above, finding a guild for dungeons is easy. You just have to do research and…. here it comes…. put in some EFFORT. If you’re finding that your guild doesn’t want to run dungeons or there isn’t enough people online to do them, then you didn’t research a good enough guild. Actually take the time to find the proper guild instead of taking the first one that says “we run dungeons with cookies!”. Called do a little research and make sure the guild you are joining actually does run dungeons and is willing to help you out just as much as you help them.

Like I said, the features are there already for you to use. You just want the easy way out instead of spending a little effort.

Wow It’s like talking to a brick wall.

Listen, I agree with your wholeheartly, when you dont want to use the LFD system.
I really do, sounds like Im not but hey You don’t want to use it, its YOUR choice.

Other people want to use it, its their choice.
This is a feature that many people have expected from any MMORPG, from WOW to SWTOR even Guildwars (no not guildwars2, guildwars)

The LFG tool they have is worthless, I would have had expected to be able to use that thing in a zone see how many people are LFGing for a specific dungeon and just join up in that group but no instead you have to LFM and when you LFM too much you get suppressed.

Now I don’t know what server you’re from or if you’ve done any Dungeons at all. (im going to guess no) but some people who are not as fortunate as you come from desolate servers where a majority of people don’t dungeon and have a hard time forming a group.

Why is it so difficult for you to allow those people to let Anet ease their burden by making it easier for them to find a group, does it effect you in anyway?

Do you enjoy seeing the same name spamming LFG for 30 minutes, is that why you’re against a Dungeon finder system? Because you enjoy sitting in LA or starter zones looking through all the LFGers?

And as I said before, If you don’t like to use this feature, DONT USE IT.
If it exists as a feature to help other people, LET THEM USE IT.

The problem is there is NO SUCH feature when there should already be one.

Just like Melee Assist, I personally hate it BUT I can turn it off so I dont have to use it.
When a dungeon finder system comes out and you still HATE IT beyond words, You dont HAVE to use it.

I’m on Tarnished Coast and have a guild that actually runs dungeons all the time. Literally farms them. Because I did research and found a guild to do just that when I need to do it. If I’m not representing them, they will toss me a whisper and ask if I can help with some dungeon runs. I gladly switch to represent and start doing dungeon runs. And whenever I want to do some dungeons, they are willing to help me out as well cause I help them out. I put in the effort to find my own means of getting dungeons, why can’t you? Why do you need a system to do it for you instead?

But let’s go with your logic. Cause it seems perfectly okay. So Anet should implement a LFD feature so those who don’t want to do any effort can find groups easily right? It doesn’t affect anyone and it’s perfectly fine cause anyone can find people to do dungeons, they just have to put in a little effort. And if anyone doesn’t like it, they shouldn’t use it right? Okay.

So I should complain to Anet to add free level 80’s to the gem store. It doesn’t affect anyone else right if I get a instant level 80 because anyone can get one too, they just have to put in the effort. And if anyone doesn’t like it, they shouldn’t use it right? Okay sounds fair.

Perfectly fine logic there. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. Let’s see what else we can add to the game with that logic.

I don’t. Amazing how that works, huh?

I stopped using it because it was just a faceless grind with random people. What ArenaNet should do, is encourage better grouping through guilds to do dungeons. Better rewards, without having to rely on a random dungeon finder.

Again, if you don’t like it don’t use it.
Anet’s Gw2 Slogan: Play how you want to.

People want to get into groups fast and clear dungeons fast with minimal talking, their choice.

You want to play where everyone talks about their feelings, go ahead.

Ultimatums =/= Answer.

It’s called get a guild and don’t expect a feature to do all your work for you.

You want to get fast groups and clear dungeons with minimal talking? Get a guild that does speed clears. Simple as that.

There is no point to a LFD feature when you can easily take care of the problem yourself by finding a guild that does speed clears or runs dungeons all the time. It really isn’t that hard.

OOOH Right and then spam LFG in the guild chat yes?
And when that fails find a new guild?

Yeah Dungeon Finder > your ridiculous methods.

Nothing ridiculous about it. You just want the easy way out so you don’t have to do anything but sit in town and click a button to get a group.

And….. if you join a guild that runs dungeons, why would you need to spam guild chat? They obviously are up for running dungeons, so just asking once would easily get you a group. Simple logic friend, use it.

Sit in a town and push a button? Really.

Sorry but If I pushed a button to queue for a dungeon, last thing I would do is sit in a town, hell Id go to another zone, clear a few hearts, oh OH WAIT! QUEUE is up! Enter dungeon.

The first thing Id have to do in this current system is sit in a town and LFG.

Again your methods and suggestions are ridiculous as I said before to Nuxos if you don’t like the feature, don’t use it.

I don’t like the Melee Assist feature, I have it turned off, do you see me QQing at the forum about a feature I dont like which lets me have the option to not use it?

And to your rebuttal about guilds that run dungeon, really everything revolves around you doesnt it?

You do understand there are days where some people in a guild that dont feel like running the same dungeon you want to run, even so much so that some guilds have to PUG their last 1 – 2 members.

And during those days, Id like to be able to form a group fast without having to spend 10 or more minutes LFGing

How is it ridiculous to use the features provided to you? There is options, you just refuse to use them. Instead you want Anet to do all your work for you so you don’t have to do any.

Sirevanac.3178:

But I enjoy being in a guild with fellas i have fun, but they dont always do dungeons, they do a little of all. And I dont want to be in another guild. And the “lfg” in LA in my server is kind of crappy. I have to be in another and just represent it when i want to go on dungeons then? And what if they are not connected when I log or no one wants to do the dungeon i want?

The game itself SHOULD facilitate this. The game cant expect that there will be always people at all time in the dungeon entrance looking for a team.

So you’re making the choice to not take advantage of the features already provided to you because you don’t want to? Then it’s not Anet’s fault, it’s your own. There is other ways for you to find a group for dungeons, you just don’t want to use them. So because you choose not to use the options provided, you will just instead complain to Anet to give you a LFD feature. Seems completely logical.

And finding the right guild isn’t hard. If you’re worried about people being online or actually wanting to run dungeons, do your research before joining a random guild. Guilds advertise all the time. Ask around, find out when their peak hours are, match it up to yours. Find out how often they run dungeons, etc etc. A little research and effort will easily find you what you need.

Why do I have to take care of this matter myself? Why do i have to be on a guild that does a lot of pve to be able to do a dungeon? And what if they dont want to when im able to play? What do I do then?

Really? So because you’re lazy and don’t want to put any effort into finding a guild that runs dungeons, you expect Anet to implement a feature to do it all for you? Talk about entitlement. “Anet I don’t want to put in any effort to find a guild/group that does dungeons. Do it for me”……

I actually picked up the Tier 1 Cultural set for my Norn Engineer for the looks. When I reached level 35 to actually use it, I went ahead.

It surprisingly lasted me for a little over 10 levels. Never found anything better during that time, so the stats are pretty decent to wear for awhile while you level.

If you want it just for looks, go for it. It’s not overly expensive and the gear will last you for a little while as well.

Edit: Just realized you are talking about Tier 1 Weapons, not Armor. So nevermind.

Like everyone said, with max settings it looks this good.

And there is already a graphic enhancement (SweetFX) here on the forums that will tweak the graphics even more to your liking.

Go to LA and you’ll see an event. Then just go talk to the NPC there to get started. It’s a small Asuran with a pumpkin over her head.

If you read here, it tells you that it takes place in LA as well.

I never checked myself, but are they soulbound by chance? The pages, not the book.

Because if they are not, you can go get the pages again and then just give them to an alt to get the book on them as well. Would make it easier for those that don’t have alts that have those areas unlocked yet.

But otherwise, no. You can’t get another book. Unsure why you can get extra pages though.

Cauldron works fine here. Haven’t had any issues. And I get random transformations as well. Got a corpse at one time, and I have got the Hylek before as well.

But barely use it any ways. I mostly just lay it down for others to use so they can participate.

Pretty sure they will, they will just be like the Pirate and Cook costumes.

@Preyar

Do you ever read the update notes here on the site?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Update-Notes-October-22-2012/first#post510401

And no, I don’t go to Twitter or Facebook or any of those social sites. They have their own perfectly good website right here that should have the updates on it. I shouldn’t have to outsource to other sites to find out what is going on with the game.

Pretty much.

The Devil Horns are still not in the gem store. Even after the new update.

Edit: As well, still can’t turn in the Orb for completing the Personal Story as we can’t enter the door still.

Yeah sadly I’m going to have to agree. Was really disappointed.

Random lottery items I can’t stand. If you’ve read the thread already, you’ll see what I mean. People have wasted tons of money and got nothing. As well, they have another random lottery item, the Treat Bag in the gem store. A random chance at one of those items. I can’t stand that. I hate lottery stuff. And time limits on items. Dear god I can’t tell you how much that screams free to play.

Then of course, the event is bugged. So can’t even do that. And to make it even better, I have to go farm Candy Corn to use a scanner that I didn’t even know was bugged. So there’s a bunch of wasted time. As well, there is no Devil Horns in the gem store for free. They don’t exist. Then for costume brawls, they put the costumes/tonics in the gem store as well. And again, no armor skins just town clothing that we can’t transmute.

And not Halloween related, but patch related still, we get these new Orbs for finishing our Personal Story, and the vendor doesn’t even exist. So that was pretty much pointless.

All in all, just very disappointed in this patch/event. Seems to be nothing more than a money grab, as pretty much everything is in the gem store with lottery on top of that. GW1 events were much better than this, as everything was available for you and you didn’t feel forced to use the cash shop.

CharrGirl.7896:

How? Tell me your secrets ,how to make it work?

Simply extract it somewhere then paste the files into your GW2 folder. (In program files not documents).

It’s similar to ENB and such and I don’t believe it is bannable. It is just a graphic enhancement and doesn’t mess with the actual game files or give an advantage.

I used to use this along with ENB for Rift and it was absolutely stunning. Eager to check it out for GW2 if it gets the go ahead.

Oh wow…. That bow!
