Guild Wars 2

(This may not seem like the right forum for a guild question, but none of the Guild forums had an area for problems. I hope someone here can help me.)

I have a problem guesting to my guild’s world: I’m on the world “Crystal Desert”, but my guild is mostly on “Henge of Denravi” (HoD). When I guest over there to participate in guild missions, I never see any “Active Missions” listed even when they’ve been activated – so when we have a “Guild Bounty”, someone has to tell me in chat what the targets are, or for a “Guild Trek” what locations to search for.

In addition, when I guest to HoD, and visit a Guild Banker, they tell me my guild doesn’t have a bank, even though it does.

I’m trying to figure out if I’m doing something wrong -), so I hope someone can help me. Or perhaps this is just how guesting works and there’s no problem. -)

More details:
When I guest to HoD, the world selection window says “You are currently guesting in Henge of Denravi”. If I then select my character (got 5 alts), and start the game, my Guild window reads (at top, in the title bar):
[Guild Name]: Crystal Desert Main [G]

I’m not sure if this means anything, but it looks like I’m not really at HoD?

I’m considering transferring to HoD but since it’s not cheap to do so, I’d like to make sure that things will work right when I get there. -) If I’m making some error now, I’ll probably make the same error when I transfer. -)

Thanks for any ideas or help.

Guesting on servers doesn’t work anymore, there is now something called “mesgaservers” which basically means that you aren’t with your server is open world PvE, but with random people from other servers.
To do guild missions with your guild, go to the area where your guild mission is, join a party with someone from your guild on the right megaserver, right click their and click “Join in X”
That will put you with your other guildies. Some call this “taxing”

Thanks for the information!

I follow you, and this is what I’ve done as well (partying with guildmates) – sorry to leave it out -) But still, Guild window shows no active missions even when they’re active, no Treks when they’re active. So I’m wondering what the issue is.

Talking to other folks, some have the same problem, apparently, but no one’s sure of the cause/answer.

It could be a bug, I’m not too sure about that.

Megaserver tech still lumps players with their server, but it can fill additional instances with players from other servers to fill the map’s population. Through daily churn it quite possible that there will always be some amount of server mix on a map but if you show up to a boss event I would say most players are from your server (or the one you are guesting on).

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Vault
“Guild vaults are restricted to the world where they were created”.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild
“Guild membership is not limited to a single world — a guild can have members from any server, whether in the US or EU. However, the guild’s influence pool and upgrades (including the Guild Vault) are specific to each world, just like a social club would need to acquire separate furniture for each of its branch offices.”

The guild banks, the influence, and their upgrades are restricted to each particular server. HoD and Crystal Desert both have their own influence pools and guild vault upgrades. Only members of those servers can add to the influence or access the vault upgrades.

So if you are guesting, you won’t be able to access the guild vault on the HoD. You will need to transfer to have access.

Astral,
Thanks! I’d found the info about bank access and worlds from the wiki, but it was unclear that guesting would prevent my accessing things on another world. It sounds like it is so, but that doesn’t make sense to me. -) No matter though, time to transfer!
