Difficulty in finding VR 1-5 groups in recent days?

Guldendraak · May 2014

Has anyone else noticed that getting a VR 1-5 group going seems to be taking longer than say, 4-5 days ago?

I admit that being a slow leveler (than most people) and rolling dps are probably contributing to my issue... But... I've never had an real issue using the group tool for dungeons and getting a group together.. Now, I sign up and sometimes, can't even find another dps who is also queued.

The problem could be that I'm signing up for the wrong dungeon.. It's frustrating that as a VR you can't just say - "join for any dungeon" as this would bring together a larger pool of people wanting to just run any dungeon rather than selecting 1 dungeon and hoping.

Anywho.. Am I alone in noticing this or am I just cursed with selecting the wrong dungeon?

I feel like I'm alone at VR7. I rarely see another living, breathing player.

I think the main reason behind that is that most of the people are alraedy in guilds. If they happen to find 1or 2 well structured and working guilds then they usually do them with their guild members.

The other thing is that there is no ral point in doing them over and over again. You complete the quests, get the rewards and then they do not give that much xp. Moreover, the bosses drop vr5 items that are no good for you if you are below that level. of course, you can try selling these or just deconstruct them. You may get lucky.

Most of the chests in these starter veteran dungeons are also bugged or not upgraded to the proper lvl so you loot lvl 15 green items from them and get no xp at all. Either getting some xp or looting some veteran rank items would be cool.

There is one more thing to mention here. For quite a few people these dungeons are very hard to do. They give them a couple of tries and if they fail and die too many times they just give up. Some of them will give these another at around v5 but getting there takes some time. Especially if you have family or you have a job....or life:).

Becuase of the slow(er) progression at veteran lvls there are less and less ppl as your vet rank raises. It will take some time for the majority of the players to get to vet5 or vet10. I guess Craglorn will be a kind of a carrot on a stick for a lot of players and they will do anything to lvl fast to be able to participate in these new adventures. That is why it should have content for all vet lvls imo.

I am up for these dungeons though and whenever I am on I am game for a run or two. v3 atm. IGN is Bandras. You can send me a tell and add me to friends if you wish. I am a helaer, so that is alraedy 2 ppl of the 4:)

I was actually about to post a similar thread yesterday. I don't have time to play on primetime everyday, but yesterday I had the time. I was pretty bummed out that I couldn't find a team for an entire hour between 19.00 and 20.00 CET on EU servers yesterday(as Tank).

Eventually I got a team at around 20.15 and we did a few dungeons and I forgot about the hour earlier.

I'm a bit worried what happens once we enter subscribtion time.. I just hope they can provide reasons to do dungeons. I mean common, it's not rocket sience after all.
