Guild Wars 2

Angry Joe is a long time and very popular reviewer of Video Games, one who gave Guild Wars 2 a 10/10 with a Bad-Kitten Seal of Approval, but even he is getting sick and tired of the shoddy Guild interface in GW2. Specifically, the lack of “last time logged in.”

Seriously ANet, when even a huge supporter of your game (and, if I may add a personal note, the one who swung the balance in favour of buying the game when I was on the fence) is getting annoyed off with it, it’s time for you to admit you’ve failed, buckle down and actually fix stuff before adding more and more useless temporary content.

So much potential wasted, it’s difficult not to be a little upset.

I logged on to GW1 for the first time in ages the other day to check my birthday presents, and I was stunned by just how much better the entire guild interface was in GW1.

Last online, recruitment date, ranks split into sections, separate Guest and Invitee sections and a guild announcement that’s editable without losing the current text and that appears on log-on. Hell, in the History section, I could even see when a current member was invited and when they actually joined. It recognises that distinction!

Seriously, GW2’s engine is just an updated version of the GW1 engine. How the hell did all this stuff get stripped out in the transition from 1 to 2?!
It’s an embarrassment.

Only recently introduced to Angry Joe, but his reviews are spot on.

As a guild leader, I agree with him.

anything related to guild is too much bug.
from chat log to “you are not in a guild”

Agreed, ANet, could you fix your Guild UI?

This game wasn’t aimed at us PC gamers its for the console monkey, where less UI means more point and shoot… I doubt they have any motivation to improve the game beyond adding tiny snippits of content each month now, which is a real shame because GW1 was excellently designed in so many areas in comparison to GW2.

Hard to not agree. GW1 had a nice guild system. Didn’t need anything better or more fancy, because it was working for GW1 really well. The problem is that GW2 needs, craves bigger, better, fancier, more wast system. So yeah, it’s shocking that game that have “guild” in name, fails in guild district.
Well… I’m loosing my patience to this product all along – maybe it’s that :/

Pretty sure the guild system will be the next thing overhauled after the LFG tool is out. My guess is it’s the same group of people working on that type of feature.

I wholeheartedly agree. As a GM in both games im stunned at how much of a backward step they took with the current guild system. I really expected it to be on par with GW1 this long after release but if anything it just seems to break and bug out more these days.

Sort it out Anet come on, it’s getting ridiculous!

That guy is so annoying,cannot stand to watch him for longer then 30 sec.Why you let someone like Him to decide whether to buy or not to buy a game goes beyond me….Really.

He dislike’s Guild wars2,and now it suddenly is a fail and you hop along with whatever he says… ?

I think it’s time to start thinking for yourself….

So someone gave the game a “10/10” then later doesn’t like it? Sounds like a typical person who hypes stuff up then is later disappointed by the expectations they made from their own hype.

Regardless, the GW2 guild stuff should be at least as good as the original Guild Wars guild stuff.

He (Angry Joe) didn’t say that GW2 in its entirety is a fail. He just doesn’t like lack of Guild options and unless you run your own Guild outside of a few friends you have in real life then you’d agree. If you watched more than 30 seconds of his videos you’d see how right he usually is with his reviews.

Also, what makes you think that the ONLY reason someone doesn’t like the Guild system is because a Youtuber said so? That’s absurd. With that kind of logic I can go and find a Youtuber who LOVES GW2 and tell you that you love GW2 solely because a Youtuber does.

It counts both ways,you got that right.Hence i was saying,time to start thinking for yourself.And no,by all means..thanks alot but i will not watch him any longer then 30 sec,simply because i cannot stand the guy or most people i see on youtube making “reviews” , infact make vids because they like to show themselves,make money,and love the sound of their own voice so much it makes them wet.People like games because other people tell them so,then they start to dislike games,because the same people suddenly don’t like the game anymore.Why watch reviews of a game youre allready playing,then letting someone convince you otherwise ? I play what i play,without anybody telling me what to like or what not to like.

Yep, the guild interface, missions UI and features all need a big update. Everyone should agree on this

A person on the internet that posts reviews of some stuff said something! It must be true!

That said, obviously the “Last Online” needs to be implemented for GW2. They’ve said somewhere that they want to implement it, but I have no idea the time frame or if they are actively developing it now.

I think you’re probably pretty right on that one. Seems like that would be the same kind of non-gameplay UI functionality, and I know the LFG stuff was prioritized (all in all rightfully so, as that impacts both people in and out of guilds).

Well done on having independant thought. It might amaze you to discover that the rest of us have this ability too.

Do you have anything to add about the state of the guild system or are you just here to rant incoherently about Angry Joe?

I suggest the suggestion forums for this thread.

you should go watch some of his videos…i’m pretty sure he rated it in the BETA stage but he’s actually an excellent reviewer. He was probably expecting them to fix it. So my guess would be he loves the games….but alas nothing is perfect in this world. I wish Anet would pay me to go to school…i would then proceed to go to work for them and fix everything they’re to lazy to. Amazing game…just needs some improvement….like the guild UI…..cause it’s called GUILD WARS
