Guild Wars 2

I read somewhere that original World of Warcraft team left to create GuildWars. It might be true but I’m sure they are not working in GW2 team anymore!

Looks like this game and its website are made by high school students.
Graphics are amazing, but functionality … really?!

I quote directly from here Guild Wars Wiki:

To join a guild, open the guild panel, choose the “management?” tab, select the guild from the list, and press the “Join Guild” button. Players can accept invitations to multiple guilds. To leave a guild, select the guild and if you are representing, choose “stand down” then the “leave guild” button will become available.

And

Each player account can belong to multiple guilds. However, each character may only represent one guild at a time; only that guild earns influence from the character’s actions. In addition, the character only has access to guild features of the represented guild, notably shared storage, buffs, and guild-wide chat. To change the guild represented, open the guild panel, choose the “management” tab, select the appropriate guild, and choose “represent”.

And yet none of these are working the way they should.

Not being able to see list of guilds is least of the problems.

This morning I was going to give it a try and join another guild too; so in one character that I was going to delete later, I stand down and left guild (My own guild) as instructed in Wiki.

I noticed that I still can’t see list of guilds. I wasn’t worried because I was going to delete that character.

After Deleting the character, I logged into another character to add an upgrade to my guild, realizing that my guild is gone!

It is necessary to mention that it was my personal guild and I had to buy Gems, turn it to gold and then turn in to influence to buy upgrades and then wait for weeks to have upgrades in place. All my time and effort that I spend on the guild were gone! and there wasn’t any way to return it.

I reported the problem in Support and received an auto response asking me to download GameAdvisor.exe and check my network connection!
seriously? blaming a UI issue on network connection?

So I came here to report it here. The hint above text box says bold does bold … and for rest of tags look at forum faq. I looked and there are non-sense hints that doesn’t even related to this forum and just copied to have a page full of text.

Anyway I guess using end-user as free beta-tester becomes a common issue in software industry!

Hello BobSort,

If you leave a guild with 1 character, all other characters are leaving the guild as well, it is the account that is a member of the guild, so all characters are member when you join a guild, and all characters leave if you step out of the guild.

Lunasun,

I already know that (In hard way), but Wiki says otherwise and that is why I have a reference to it here. I did exactly what Wiki said and it is my source of information about game.

If you look at UI on top left of screen below Window title, it says Account Guilds, with an S at the end, meaning I will be seeing a list of guilds in this account.

On the other hand there is no other warning when you are deleting your guild.
In other games like “World of Warcraft” you cannot leave guild as long as you are leader of that guild. Even when there is no other member in guild the only option available is disband the guild. When Leaving guild the only message that is showing is “Are you sure you want to leave guild?” and that is it. It doesn’t warn you that if you leave guild we are going to delete your guild too remove all money you deposited in it, stuff you are deposited in guild bank, remove all upgrades that you bought with expensive influence that you gathered over weeks or bought with real world money and even release the name you are registered your game under so someone else can use the same name!

Obviously the people who designed this interface never played a MMO game before or in other word they never wrote a serious program. In a serious program you never delete a master record when there is related child records exists for it. even doing so, a history record should be kept in case a revert or undo is needed.

If you played other MMO games, you know that there are GM’s in game to assist you in situations like this. I can’t find any thing even close to this.

This isn’t what I’m expecting from NCSoft which has 5 other MMO games that most of them did way better than this one even on earlier days.

Hi everyone,

As this thread is already in the stiky thread for guild bugs, we are closing it.

Thanks for your understanding
