Additional Comments: I’m a shy person, always play alone and just jump up to any events around, but I love to do jumping puzzle though I’m not good at it, always falling. I might get people laugh at me when they see me like a stupid person who walk back and forth just to measure the distance weather I could successfully jump. Hope to see new friend out there who i can poke and say hi

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N? Ohh yeahhh

Additional Comments: Love to chat, love even more to talk on skype or any other such program while questing with someone! I just bought the game few hours ago and just now finally got into the real game, as a warrior. Loving the game so far ! Lvl 2 at the moment if it matters. I LOVE helping others with whatever they need help with.

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: Not too sure if I understand right, but it’s just joining a guild and helping out others right ? Sure !

Welcome Ratna and Rod! Guild invites have been sent, see you in-game! To accept an invite, open up your guilds panel, click accept, and in order to see guild chat, “Represent” the guild! Mail me on the forums or in game if you need help.

@Ratna: We loooove JP’s! The only way you get better at them is by doing them!
@Rod: The guild has a vent server that people are welcome to use (but keep it friendly!)

The Legion will be starting some Map Exploration Nights soon on TC for any interested players on the NA servers – leave a note if interested or check out the guild website for details!

Name: Eric

Main Character: Generic Eric

Current Server: Blackgate

Interested Activities: Dungeons, PvE, Fractals, Exploring, Meta Events

Active: Play everyday some days more than others

Additional Comments: I have played since launch. I am currently in a guild that is fairly active and friendly but does not do very many group activities and they do not use voice chat. I have two level 80 toons soon to be three. Would love to find someone or a group to PvE with that uses some form of voice chat. I am not opposed to transferring servers. Hope there are some like minded gamers out there. See you soon

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: Yes

welcome to everyone new hope to see you all in game!

@Generic Eric – we do have a vent server, and I think some of our members use it regularly, you can find the server details on our forum (under news and announcements). forum link is in my signature

Foes anyone wanna do the jumping puzzles on WvW tomorrow at like 6 pm Pacific time?

unfortunately I’m not on Anvil Rock, otherwise I’d have jumped all over that

Name: Jaz
Main Character: Ambyrlea
Current Server: Blackgate
Interested Activities: Socialising, Dungeons, PvE
Active: Usually afternoon/evenings NZ time
Additional Comments: New to the game, looking to make some new friends Somewhat of a noob at this stage…

Name: Olivia
Main Character: Hollow Owl – Norn female thief
Current Server: Eredon Terrace
Interested Activities: PvE, Dungeons, Exploring, PvP and WvW occasionally
Active: different days of the week, fiance’s work schedule changes from 3 to 4 days a week, so I get the laptop then
Additional Comments: I’m not completely new to the game, I’m level 45, but I’d love to make friends and play GW with some other people and help out. I’d accept any invites for friend requests

Name: Max
Main Character: Tinamoria – Human Female Guardian
Current Server: Sorrows Furnace
Interested Activities: PvE, Dungeons, Exploring, PvP, just about anything.
Active: I’d play the game much more if I had people to join in playing, I had a lot of fun playing this game, but it has since gone lack luster once folks stopped signing in.
Additional Comments: I am willing to create new toons/Characters given the necessity to. This game is only fun with working with other people and helping each other out, otherwise frankly its not worth playing as a single player game… its an MMO for a reason.

I would accept any friend invites and do any quests you might have even not my own, I have done this before and is actually quite fun, just need folks to hang out with.

Welcome to all the new Unionites!

Tainted, Hollow and Xan, I’ll make sure you have an invite when I get home tonight, if another officer has not getten there ahead of me.

Tainted: We all were new at one point, so no worries there!

Xan: you won’t need to create new toons to play with anyone here, but you are of course always more than welcome to run any toon you like.

Interested Activities: Socialising, Dungeons, PvE.
Active: Play a lot. Maybe too much…
Additional Comments: Just send me a mail in guild wars 2 should you be interested in having someone to talk to on skype while playing. (Tired of music and the silence gets boring) I’m swedish should you need to know.

Hey everyone!

The Legion is holding some map completion events soon and would love anyone interested in some lighthearted exploration to join us.

Noppy.1348 will be leading an expedition to Dredgehaunt Cliffs on Friday the 12th at 21:00 GMT+1 (that’s Friday 19:00 UTC) on Gunnar’s Hold.

I will be leading a group to a map TBD by the dailies on Tuesday the 16th at 20:00 EDT (that’s Wednesday 0:00 UTC) on Tarnished Coast.

If you would like to join us, please mail or whisper us in-game for more information!

would you like a guild invite Martinoice? there might be more chance of others finding you that way, posts easily get lost here. its completely up to you though, I just wanted to make sure either way

Glad to find a thread like this one. I’ve made a few friends in game since I started playing, but I still tend to play alone. Hopefully I can turn that around with your thread? Fingers crossed!

Name: Joshua
Main Character: Espheran (Currently Lvl 68 Guardian)
Current Server: Ruins of Surmia
Interested Activities: Exploration, PvE, Personal Story, Dungeons, a little WvW
Active: Generally mornings, afternoons, some evenings when not at work.
Additional Comments: I am slightly shy at first, although I open up the more I’m around people. That goes for RL as well as in game :P

Hi there Espher and welcome!

Would you like an invite to the guild portion of this? You’re welcome to use just the thread to find people, but guild chat can be a great place to find groups.

Hey there guys, I’ve been a solo player since I got the game 4 months ago and I love it. But I now find myself off watching anime, running, or practicing my martial arts instead of playing. So, here I am.

Name: Kay (or just K)
Main Character: Kyala Melkar or Cale Bellash
Current Server: Kaineng
Activities: WvW, PvE, exploration and just general screwing around.
Additional Comments: I’m pretty quiet and I tend to run off on my own to do stuff (habits of a solo-er) but if you get me talking I’m pretty fun to be around. Willing to just hang out and chat (in game or via <insert voicechat program here>). Just PM me in game, I’m usually on unless I’m at class.
PS: Willing to try out new games too, same thing over and over bores me after a while.

Sure, I suppose :P I joined a guild a while back that was supposed to be open to grouping up and what not, but I’ve had trouble finding people who are willing to party up. So, sure

Belial and Espher, invites will be sent in a few minutes.

Hope you find groups to run with and have fun! We have no repping requirements, but I would suggest popping on to guild chat just to see what we are all about and to find parties.

Good to see this still going!

Keep up the Awesomeness everyone!

1st post here!

Name: Gene
Main Character: Lauranae Istha [Sylvari Elementalist]
Current Server: Sea of Sorrows [US]
Interested Activities: PvE, WvW later?
Active: Play at random times (career, wife, kids, and other hobbies!)
Additional Comments: Just bought the game two days ago. I am a total MMO n00b, never got into WoW or any of the other MMO’s. Just learning my way around the game right now! I am a casual, friendly guy, I don’t have the free time to be hardcore. I hope to find a guild that fits and potentially meet a few cool people to explore/quest with. Meantime, I’m wandering around enjoying the game.
Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: I can’t answer that until I know what that means!

Hi there Cobalt and welcome!

The Operation: Union project is the guild which developed from all the people posting in this thread as an easier way for them to connect. You are welcome to use the thread as a resource to contact with other players without any guild involvement.

If you are interested, we can send you an invite to the guild. We have no requirements for repping (displaying our guild tag in game), but when you do rep you will have access to our guild chat where you can try to organize groups for game content, ask questions and just chat with other players! You can also check out the website we have, the link is in my sig.

So, it is totally up to you, but if you would like an invite to the guild let me know and I’ll get that for you!

Thanks for that information! Going back through the first portions of this thread, I see all of that now.

I would most definitely be interested in this little shin dig.

Thanks!

Main Character: Marak Khardrueth

Current Server: Aurora Glade (Based in UK)

Interested Activities: Socialising, PvE, might be tempted into PvP, Dungeons, WvW and RP with patient and highly forgiving allies

Active: Play mainly late evenings, work every weekend so sometimes on during the day Mondays & Tuesdays

Additional Comments: Professional Scotsman and sometime librarian with a god awful ingame sense of direction and total lack of killer skills. Not shy, but I won’t talk your ear off

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: I reckon you could twist my arm

Just a little more about myself, I only got into gaming in my 30s and GW2 is the first MMO that I’ve been persuaded to try. I actually got it when it first came out and played pretty regularly for a couple of months but then got distracted by other games and the other folks who’d persuaded me to try it also drifted away.

A few other folks I know were tempted to try it out with this free weekend and I logged on to meet up with them so got the taste to play some more. I don’t know how many of them will be continuing after the free trial ends so took to the forums to look for like minded souls and found this thread which definitely piqued my interest.

Like I said I got into games pretty late and this is my first MMO so I’m pretty poor at playing it to be honest. I’ve avoided dungeons, raids, PvP and WvW so far as I’m not really of a mind to be berated by someone for not being Tanky or drawing enough aggro or not being permanently buffed or squeezing the absolute max out of my character build.

I’m playing a Warrior and my style so far is to run in and either shoot things or hit them in the face till they fall down…and then hit them a bit more to be safe. Nothing complicated

I’m playing this game for fun, I don’t particularly care if I never reach level 80 with my character or getting absolute completion on every zone, I’m not too bothered what items or weapons I’m carrying. I will however happily tool around the same maps over and over, helping folks finish their quests or just exploring randomly. I tend not to be too sociable via the chat window…but that’s because I’m a lousy typist and way too slow at it to risk not paying attention to the scary monsters on screen

Also just to give fair warning, if we end up chatting via Teamspeak or skype I can get a teensy weensy bit sweary, especially in combat…..usually when I end up falling off a cliff or facing totally the wrong way.

Anyway, apologies for the waffly first post but look forward to perhaps meeting some of you wandering the highways and byways of Tyria.

Invites sent! Welcome Cobalt and fatbaldbloke!

You will find lots of help here if you have questions, and people who are willing to teach the finer parts of the game as well. We are mostly about having fun, so nope, you need not have a level 80 to join in.

If you’re ever worried about offending over Vent, pukitteno-talk is great for that. I’ve laid a line of curses or two that didn’t get broadcast thanks to that. Anyone in the chat can help you set it up.

Most important, if you ever have questions just ask!

Welcome everyone! I think I’ve run into a few of you in-game already, and I look forward to meeting the rest of you.

And I think Hele means “push to talk” – I actually use it so that my obscenely loud CPU fan doesn’t keep my mic on. Silly forum filter!

Thanks for the welcome and Guild invite accepted

Hopefully you don’t regret my representation too much considering how many times I got decked trying to finish some undead Broodmother thingy in the Celadon Forest earlier today

This might be a numbnuts question and sorry for the double post, but when looking at the Guild roster is there a way to tell which members are on the same server as yourself?

I noticed Tarnished Coast seemed to feature heavily in our members location, but wasn’t sure if that was their server or just the part of the map they were running around being awesome on.

Yep, there are a number of us on the NA side who call Tarnished Coast our home. On that same list you’re looking at, those who are on the same server as you will have their locations listed in white, and it will be a map such as Lion’s Arch, Gendarran Fields, Blazeridge Steppes, etc. Those who are not on the same server will have their server name listed in orange (Tarnished Coast, Gunnar’s Hold, Piken Square, etc).

This isn’t completely reliable, because if someone is guesting it will show their current location – so when I guest to Ferguson’s Crossing for a major event because I was sent to overflow on TC, all my guildmates will see Ferguson’s Crossing. But it helps!

I would suggest that if you are looking for people to play with over in EU, don’t hesitate to whisper players on other EU servers – chances are they’ll be able to guest over if they’re free. A list of server names (and if they’re EU or NA) is available on the wiki.

Hello there! Interested new guy is interested :P

Welcome Reecpc! Invite to the guild sent, as you contacted me in game. See you around Tyria!

Active: Haven’t played in about three months but I am trying to pick up where I started.
Additional Comments:

Something I really like about this game is the scenery. I literally spent a whole day exploring the different areas even if my level was too low; something I especially like. In other MMO’s, especially side-scrolling 2D types, you can’t move freely and avoid high-level enemies. Your current level literally dictates how far you can go, but in GW2 you can evade them and focus on the scenery rather than actually fighting or doing quests. Just imagine my face when I discovered we can go underwater and there was literally an entire world down there. I LOVE IT! xD

What’s more, I really like role-playing and I was hoping I could find someone to do that with in this thread. You see, the one thing I’m always complaining about in MMOs is the actual game. All we do is complete quests and grind, but if we can add an artificial story to it and RP as I mentioned, I’m sure the experience would be far more indulging.

Otherwise, having someone around to accompany me while I gather raw materials and make weapons or armour, or go into dungeons, it’ll always beat soloing. (Unless I’m role-playing a soloer xD).

Anyone else having any problems with Guilds today on GW2? When I open my guilds tab, I’m apparently the only member of both Guilds I have membership of.

Name: GreenNekoHaunt

Interested Activities: General PvE, PvE boss fights, daily dailies, fractals, citadel of flames, occasional PvP, occasional WvW, daily PvP, leveling up other chars
Active: on German holidays, when I have holiday set up, during weekend, and during the week only active on daily basis.
Additional Comments: I’m a coincidental collector, love crafting, I’m pretty open to different classes and enjoy PvE the most. I’m also a glitch and bug finder and play a lot. I grew up with SNES so I love the SAB.

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project: I always enjoy to play with other people so I guess yeah. As long it’s no problem to not represent the guild.

Nam and GreenNekoHaunt, invites sent. Representation is optional, but guild chat can be pretty hilarious. See you around Tyria!

Bloke, I’m not having any problems right now, but the game is known to be super-buggy on patch days.

Yeah, I’m guessing it’s that. Hadn’t twigged it was patch day till I saw the messages about new build flashing up in middle of a story mission.

Trying to get back into the game again. I took a rather lengthy break due to boredom (my poor Elementalist ended up mostly soloing to 80 after all, yawn), and busyness with other things.

Anyway, been a couple days, and it seems not much has changed. Still having difficulty finding groups to run with. Actually interested in doing dungeon runs now as I try to get my level 80 armor set (trying to get my armor as drops instead of just buying at the trading post, since that provides some motivations for an 80 to run dungeons), and even that is proving difficult to find groups for.

Asking about dungeon runs in map chat in some of the busier zones and in guild chat generally just results in silence. How else can I find a group at any given time otherwise?

And I have been keeping my status set as LFG. But I suspect hardly anyone even pays attention to that.

Hey Willowpaw! Have you tried http://www.gw2lfg.com for dungeon runs? I use it frequently when I can’t find others in the Legion to get a group for dungeons, often with great success. The only downside I see is that the quality (attitude-wise) of some of the players is questionable for some of the most popular dungeons.

Unfortunately, the LFG tool in-game is rather weak and only local to the map you’re in, so if you’re in Black Citadel or Plains of Ashford looking for people for the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon, and there are others in Lion’s Arch (or on a different server) looking for people for the same dungeon, you won’t see each other.

Also, would you like an invite to the Legion in-game? A large portion of our members like dungeons and are happy to hop on runs if they aren’t busy with something else.

Sure, that sounds good to me. Hopefully we can get lucky and be on at the same time so you can invite.

Yep. Definitely need to get into another guild if I want to have a hope of teaming for dungeon runs. Just spent the past couple hours doing nothing except try to get a team for either HotW. No luck whatsoever, not even any indication that anyone was even seeing my request for that matter.

This time, tried in both Lion’s Arch and Frostgorge. Total silence as usual. I did check out GW2LFG. I saw there were a few teams running for HotW. But there was no sign of them in game, so I am guessing they were on other servers. Plus, at least one or two of them only wanted experienced players for the run. And since I have only done it once, that would probably mean I would not be wanted on those teams, due to insufficient experience.

Name: Ivan
Main Character: Ivorr Tanaris, 25LVL Guardian
Current Server: Seafarer’s Rest
Interested Activities: For now, mostly PvE – tasks, story, map revealing, etc.
Active: I am new to the game so I’m still learning how to play and it will be nice if there is someone else with whom I could play.
Additional Comments: I play mostly through evenings and nights.

I was in the vicinity of the Molten Alliance thingy in the Wayfarer Foothills as I was thinking about giving it a go having done the Razing stories.

Slightly depressing to read the amount of posts in the Map chat window saying things like ‘LFG for MA… NO Noobs’ or ‘Only folks who can dodge wanted’ so didn’t bother in end. Then got a ‘LOL…noob’ comment this afternoon while being silly enough to revive a fallen Seraph soldier near Shaemoor Garrison

Any kindly souls on the Aurora Glade server or other EU servers who wouldn’t mind a dungeon newbie tagging along? In the meantime I shall have a look at GW2LFG as DEKeyz mentioned above

EDIT: That all sounded a bit whiny, but meant to sympathise with Willowpaw’s experience
