Ok, Tuesday 17th was a BIG day for the Guild wars 2 community

Not only was Tequatl the Skinless being redone as an encounter to something that even the Dev team find hard to do, but was also the release for the long awaited Looking For Group Tool (something most of the community expected in the release last year…)

However, we just got this on the official forum…

Hey everyone,

 

With Tuesday’s release we are gearing up to launch the new Looking For Group tool for Guild Wars 2. As the system comes online, our primary focus is with the quality and the stability. To ensure a solid rollout, we’ll turn on the LFG tool in beta form to a subset of players. As the week goes on, we’ll periodically unlock the system to additional groups of players.

 

In Tuesday’s release notes, you’ll see the complete list of what the feature will do once we’ve fully unlocked the system. However, during the beta rollout not everyone will be able to use the LFG tool and the World vs. World subcategories will be disabled.

 

The Looking for Group feature has been highly requested and we’re excited to be this close to its final release, but quality is paramount. Therefore, we ask for your patience and understanding while we work through this phased beta rollout and with any problems we encounter.

 

Thanks,
Mike Zadorojny
& the Looking For Group team

Hmm…   Will be interesting to see the fallout from the community when they DON’T get the LFG tool that’s been advertised…
