Alright, so here’s how it goes.. I’ve been a Guild Leader of a Guild of 500 people for 2 years now. With the Guild Hall update, I was so happy. As it had so many amazing content in it. Now don’t get me wrong, I am so proud of ANet for this update of the Halls, me and my members are enjoying it to the max, even with the high prices of every small upgrade! But… Here’s the thing. Bugs. Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs. BUGS. I know it’s still new, I know I’m probably not telling you anything new, I know. But still. These bugs have been around for way too long now and are just frustrating, especially with all of the effort that me and my Guild had to put into leveling and upgrading the Hall. I’ve wrote down all of the bugs I found by now, hopefully the staff will take this seriously.
1. Arena decorations – for the past 3 weeks our Guild and every other Guild can’t place decorations in the Arena (Arena decorations of course) We go into decoration mode and when we pick one of the decorations out of the list, nothing happens. There are x250 in all of the decorations that we have.
2. Arena “hackers” – Basically, if a new map opens and you’re still inside of the Arena and you switch into the new map, no matter of what team you are in, you can kill anyone in the new map while being in "God Mode’, as in not taking damage. Can even kill Decorators.
3. Arena Boundries – In order to deactivate it, you need to click Activate and then Deactivate, and once the map resets – the boundries activate again. Kinda frustrating.
4. Almost every time we go to our lvl2. Workshop (Glided Hollow) it looks destroyed for us. The ruins cover the whole place and the NPC’s are burried under the ruins. We can go into the ruins and talk with them as the ruins aren’t an actual physical model, but it’s still ugly and makes it hard for you to find the stations.
5. When we do Guild Missions, we get around 60 people participating. When we all go back to the Guild Hall we are seperated between different IPs of the Guild Hall maps. Even when we hosted an event with 20 people it happened. To fix it you have to leave the Guild Hall then come back in (not 100% chance of succeding, sometimes it can take 5 times). Not sure if there’s an actual fix for this, just pointing it out as it’s annoying as hell and just wastes precious time of everyone in the Guild.
6. You can’t go close to the crystal throne, get on it, or do anything next to it. There’s an invisible wall that blocks our way from getting close to it.
7. If you sit on the top of the Guild portal when you activate it, you will crash.
A few things that has been turning me and the Guild crazy:
1. The Guild Commendation trader (the old one that sells you Ascended Trinkets etc..) can only be found in the Lion’s Arch Guild Base. Why not put it in the Guild Hall?
2. The material synthesizer, why use the ugly-machine looking model and not just place the ores themselves in the Mine, and have a small garden? It looks pretty bad.. And the fact that the Mine would be a bit more useful would be great to see.
3. For Lost Precipice – The fact that there are still broken barrels and dead trees on the roads and shattered bridges/roads even after lvl40 makes the Hall look really bad. Sure, it’s an abandonned desert city-ish thing, but why not actually make it good looking after a certain level, as the village has new residents in it?
P.S. – What’s the deal of the Airship? lol
4. The Guild Trader – We have it at max level and it sells the same items repeatetly. Having it selling other items would be so good to see. I’m tired of seeing the same decorations every day – what’s the point of the Decorations in the NPC if it only sells Wagons, Lattices, Wells and.. Mossy Stones? After a week you get so many of these decorations your Guild Hall looks like a Stable with so many Wagons haha. Please, please please please – make the list bigger… Also, the prices of the Minatures and the new armor/weapons are crazy! That’s just way too expensive! I haven’t seen even one person walk around with the Guild minatures ever since we got them, and it was one of our first NPCs in the Market… Consider lowering their prices down a bit as it will be a bit more popular..
6. Have a bit more ways of getting Crystaline Ore – It’s a pain in the butt to get and it’s required for everything cool in the Hall ;_;
7. The Arena is using your PvE stats… Any way to make it PvP? Why not just make the whole Guild Hall map to use your PvP stats? It’s not like people kill any monsters there or anything like that… Not sure if that’s possible, but yeah..
8. Why in the world would you make it that we can only have 1 buff at a time? it used to be that we could have all of these buffs active at the same time. Why change it? We worked so hard for these buffs and then we have to farm for them again? it’s really unfair, as the buffs aren’t even that good anyway. I mean, we got all buffs already, but still – they used to be in the Guild Attributes instead as a normal buff :/
9. Get more achievements for the Guild, such as “I love Decorations” or whatever – Buy for your Guild decorations from the basic trader or w/e, why not? You keep looking for more achievements and there’s almost none about Guilds when Guilds are a huge part of the game! Would be awesome if it was possible to have that!
Ok ok, I know I spammed you guys. I’m sorry for that. But I think most of these bugs should have already been fixed. It’s been way too long since they started in the game and there were a few updates for bug fixes since they started.. :/ I really hope you will take my ideas seriously.. This isn’t just my point of view, it’s a post that I’ve made with most of my Members, and I’m pretty sure that a lot more Guilds feel the same.
Although the bugs the new content has been amazing. Thank you so much for making my days in Guild Wars 2 better and better with each passing day. These bugs are nothing compared to the update, but I still think that the Developer team needs to take serious thoughts about how to fix them.
With full love, The Jade Dragon Guild ~ ~ EU Servers.
