Guild Wars 2

I have so many questions i don’t know where to start.
here are 3:
1.Can you switch between game screen and desktop and how?

2.Is there any way to get advice in game from other players other
than SAY? Other games have advice channels or zone chat.

3.I was invited in 2 guilds so far which i accepted but i was not able to
use guild chat because “you are not a a member of a guil”. On the guild
pannel i could see the other members but i could not communicate with them.
What’srong with my set up?
I have more but these 3 are essential for good game play.
I appreciate your help guys/girls

1. Alt-Tab
2. For zone chat press Enter and type /map
3. No idea. Sorry

I run the game in Windowed mode, which lets me see my taskbar while in game. This can be done by hitting escape while you’re in Guild Wars 2, click on options, click on the Graphic Options tab (which is the second tab down), and then changing the resolution to either Window or Windowed Fullscreen. I personally have mine set to Window and then have resized the window to fill my screen save for the taskbar. This way, you’d be able to just click on the Show Desktop icon on your taskbar to return to the desktop. Alternately, if you prefer to run in fullscreen mode, you can hold down alt and tap the tab key to switch which window is active at the moment, enabling you to cycle between the game and another program, such as your web browser.

You can communicate with other players on the same map as you by prefacing what you want to say with /map, such as ‘/map Hello! Hope everyone is having a good time with the game!’ The quotation marks aren’t necessary. This also works with /party for players with whom you are partied at the moment and /guild for guild mates.

As far as communicating with a guild, you need to be representing that guild first. To make sure that you’re representing one, hit G, click on the name of the guild that you’d like to talk to, and then click the Represent button at the bottom of the Guild window. After that, you should be able to use /guild to talk to your guild members.

Hope this helps!

Great help guys i will try it right now.
