Guild Wars is a game that generally rewards patience. #11. SlashPatriarchy Apr 27, 2015 @ 9:17am. Originally posted by Anon-E-Mouse: Funny, I don't see it as dead. True there are fewer players playing, but it's not dead. A lot of players don't like the successor (Guild Wars 2), and prefer to play the original game. Guild Wars 2 features a Party/Squad UI element on the left side of the screen, depending on your personal setup it might be top or bottom left corner. This UI is also accessible with a hotkey, by default assigned to P. Go on, have a look at this in game. It's the same widget you might have used in the past for party management.
For explanations sake UserA, UserB, UserC When UserA invites UserB and UserC to a party, UserA and UserB can see each other, both on the map (bright blue dots) and in game. Both UserA and UserB can see a faded blue dot on the map for UserC, but can not see UserC in game. The same happens when UserB invites UserA and UserC to a party.
There are a number valid reasons to join a party, none of which make it absolutely necessary to do so. Being in a party never directly influences your loot (but see 2.) 1. Protection against disconnects. When in a party, chances are you will be able to rejoin the same map instance as them after a disconnect. 2. Easier tagging/event contribution. xtI7.
