Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

Over the past day I’ve been coming up with an idea to provide a set of guides and videos for Raids. Focussing mainly on the aspect of cool videos that either shows something unique/fun or up to the top record times, and challenges guilds are setting each other.

So far I’ve not really added many videos, but instead I’m using this post to get peoples reactions and ideas to what kind of things they would like to see on there.

http://gw2raid.com

Currently it’s very bare as I’ve only spent an hour or so on it so far compiling ideas.

The long term focus would be to have:

1. Top speed clear records
2. Interesting runs (all profession runs, no updraft, etc etc etc.) for all raids
3. Guides (both text and video based)
4. Links to builds and team comps

I like the idea, only problem that I can think of is that maybe Weth will update his website soon also with Raid stuff.
But if that’s not the case then I fully support this

That’s still going to take a couple of weeks more as I’m still busy with my graduation thesis and some real life stuff (+ full time work).

But of course if this site becomes good I don’t have to update mine.

Hi, I like your idea and I have another one how to improve it. Is it possible to add there some bulletin board where people can post their Looking For Raid Group messages?

Would be nice to have a LFR section since ingame one is so… isn’t.
Anet think that if they close their eyes and make it inconvenient to find a pug party through the lfg, then raids are gonna become magically harder and will be impossible to pug.
/whatever

Why do GW2 videos always have no sound effects, no game music at all? Also, why consists the music mainly of ‘dubstep’ (not the real/original dubstep at all), the dulcet tones of a computer being lobotomized that make kids go wild? And why is this only in 99% of the GW2 videos. If I watch other games they just play the in game music, you hear voice over from Teamspeak and sound effects of the game.

What exactly is the reason?

idk, other game communities suck? :P

Hmm, I could have a look at adding a LFR section to it. What kind of things would you like to see in such a tool? Username, Title, Description, current boss (or full clear), classes to look for?

Okay, I’ve just added a very basic LFR tool to the site, tell me what you think and how I could improve on it.

EDIT: Okay first post was a lovely bit of spam (it was quite funny, but I won’t be reposting it), I will however have to think about adding a report option.

a way to delete my lfr

xD

edit: yay!

Haha, I’ll look into that now

@insanemaniac.2456 you should be able to delete any new ones you make now

For some its because the teamspeak chatter is really inappropriate or just not for public ears. For others I’d say its because most turn off ingame sound and play their own music. And then there’s the whole issue of gw2 music often doesn’t fit the more fast paced gameplay. If you want a clean recording of gw2 with ingame sounds you have to mute ts and turn off music. Muting ts isn’t really an option for some videos since they require comms. And I find it really boring to play without my own music. So people record without sound. Better to add something than uploading a soundless video.

Is that enough reasons for you? Or are going to judge peoples taste in music as well?

I think the LFR tool is perfect. We now just have to spread the word out so people start using it.
