Went to buy a guild stash for our guild today, it got added to the research queue as normal. I got diconnected some time later, and noticed that the guild stash is missing from the research queue and we are missing the reputation I used to buy it.
I made a guild, and I have the influence to start working on an upgrade, but the ADD button under the upgrade is grey’d out and won’t let me select it. I cannot promote members of the guild to higher ranks. When Editing the permissions of the individual ranks, I can’t seem to uncheck boxes already checked. I can make new ranks, but I can’t delete them afterwards.
I have the same problems as stated above. Additionally I can’t access any permissions when I try editing ranks (checkboxes greyed out/unclickable), so basically I have no permissions even tho I am the guild leader. I have been able to delete some ranks, but not others.
Same issue here.

And yet another with exactly the same problem. I only created the guild this morning, yet when I try to do anything involving ranks and permissions, no boxes are able to be checked. Curiously, the rank titles “leader” “officer” and “member” also appear in lower case, where I am absolutely sure they were initial capitals (“Leader”) prior to this problem.

Now I am getting upset. We have all begged and pleaded for an update to our issues. I personally have posted my ticket number here a few times asking for an update. I was concerned and reposted here when the guild issues stopped making the daily status updates and also updated my ticket again stating that the issue was not resolved.
I for one am appalled at the level of support our issue has received.
StephaneLoPresti was kind enough to create this thread and merge tons of unrelated issues into one big massive thread that had nothing in common except that they had something to do with guilds. Since then, this thread has either been ignored or forgotten about, and our tickets moved to the back of the line behind tickets of people that exploited the game and received bans or those who by no fault of arenaNet got hacked for poor account security.
I understood and even accepted that you prioritized these tickets even though I personally did not agree. But enough is enough, our issue needs attention. And a form letter like this is not attention. Neither is the last one you sent.
Respectfully insisting that action be taken,
Kat

How many angry nerds will it take before I can have my guild upgrades back?
Multiple Issues.
Guild was created Wotoni [Oni] and both my wife and myself are guild leaders. According to the Guild Promoter and Guild Registrar, they state that we do not belong to a Guild. We are part of the guild and shows that we are representing it. We cannot leave a MotD (Message of the Day) either.

Hey All,
Thanks for your posts on the issues which you’ve been having with guilds. Apologies that this is impacting you.
As a few of you have pointed out, this thread refers to a bunch of different guild-related issues. I’m going to talk about the problems with representing specifically.
Here’s the boring technical details about the problem : We had a load balancing issue where many game servers were incorrectly connecting to the same guild server, causing it to be overloaded and respond with timeouts.
This has been fixed, so this problem should go away. Please let me know if you’re still seeing this problem and I’ll look into it personally.
Note that this is different to the “network error” issue when you have too many guild memberships or invites – that will still occur (and is really just in need of a decent error message).
Cheers,
Cam Dunn

Same as everyone else. This bug has ben ongoing since headstart. Guild Promoter and Registrar do not recognize that you are in a guild. The system worked fine while in overflow but now with players spreading out it is rare that we see overflow.

Thank you very much for making an appearance here. Could you take a moment and find us guidance on how to proceed while waiting on the other issues to be resolved? My specific issue is that my guild was completely broken for several days before finally just ceasing to exist.
We have created a separate guild and are slowly starting to que upgrades that we already purchased and researched. Everyone is afraid that any effort spent on this new guild is wasted effort.
Some guidance here would go along way.
Thank you again,
Kat
I didn’t read through everyone’s posts so IDK if this has been posted before but….I queued up Arch. Research II so I could build my guild bank last night. It took the 1000 influence and showed up under the tab where it was suppose to that it was researching and I logged off. Tonight when I log in it is no longer showing up as researching but the 1000 influence is still gone and it shows up in history where I queued it up last night but that’s it. I will wait to make a ticket in the hopes that even though it’s not showing up as being researched, when the 32 hours or whatever it is has gone by, maybe it will be there…

Update: I decided to stand down then try to re-represent to see if that would fix my issue. I couldn’t even choose to represent again after I stood down. Clicking it would do nothing….So I logged off and re logged on and I was able to choose represent and everything shows up fine now, the research I mean. My guild mate was able to see the upgrade the whole time while I wasn’t….We are co leaders so we have the same rank and full control over the guild. Just wanted to make sure I got all the details in this post. I’ll update this thread again if it does the same thing.

Hey Kat,
So, the expectation is that the issue with representing guilds should currently be fixed. If you (or anyone else) can’t represent their guild, please let me know.
What other issues are you seeing? I’ll look into them stat.

Earlier today I was gegtting errors saying I wasn’t in a guild, so I quit representing. It wouldn’t let me back afterward, so I logged to try and fix it. That didn’t work. Now tonight, I am still unable to represent.
Server – Borlis Pass
Guild – Inebriated Moa Brigade

I’m having the same problem as Ziek.6430.
My guild’s permissions are non-existent. The Leader can only edit ranks and nothing else. The Leader really cannot edit ranks though as none of the boxes get checked when I click on them.
I too created my guild on Monday – but had none of their other problems.
This is keeping me from really forming my guild. I’ve also submitted a bug report.

Guild services will not function upgrades,ranks,ect.
Members are unable to choose to represent
Earned Influence is missing #1190 to be coy
Members are shown as not in a guild when they are.
Thanks for the quick feedback, we’re looking into it.
I was just able to represent again. Don’t know if you did it, or it was timing/refresh/luck.

Created the guild earlier today. Did not change any settings.
Added a friend later that day. Could not change his rank to Officer. During us trying to troubleshoot this ourselves, we noticed that I (set as leader) could not change anything, including the Message of the Day or rank information. I tried creating a new ran, but the attempt was simply ignored by the game (I hit “New Rank”, then created a name and hit save…only to have nothing happen).
Rebooted my computer. This did not solve the problem. I also tried switching characters to the one which I was logged in as when I created the guild.
Not having a lot of information yet to reference, it looks to me as if the guild was created with improper rank information…all of the permissions for the Leader rank are unchecked except for Edit Ranks (which only allows you to edit lower ranks). Screenshot attached….
EDIT: Did more poking around. One of my characters (of three total) character can’t access anything…the tabs on the left, which you would use to get to the various guild features/settings, are grayed out. It also ignores the button click

Today I just started having this same problem. I haven’t had it since headstart like some. I also logged in invisible when it started happening(I rarely do this). I then went visible, relogged, etc, and still the Guild Registrar/Armorer don’t acknowledge me as being in a guild or representing one, even though I am(In fact, I am the Guild Leader). Also, it wont allow me to add anything to the Build Queue. I click add and it literally does nothing. Then, I had one of my officers add Research Economy Level 1 to the queue, and it took the 500 influence. It was then in queue. Then a few hours later I logged back in and the Research Economy Level 1 was no longer in the queue, and was as though he had never added it(Even though it shows him in the Log/History as having done such, and we still lost the 500 influence).
So, I’m really at a loss as to what to do. I just finished getting Guild Armorer Contract, and now I can’t even use it. Help, please?

All guild functionality was working fine for us before this evening. Somewhere around 8pm CDT today (10-Sep), many members stopped being recognized as being in a guild by vendors and whatnot. For example, we were all using the Guild Stash successfully at 7pm CDT, but for the past 2 hours everyone is met with “you must belong to a guild” when they try to use a Guild Bank NPC.
Another member reports that they are unable to “represent” for the guild because the game doesn’t think they belong to a guild. Yet the guild roster is working fine, and we even added a new guildmate who recently got into the game in this same time period when things started flaking out.

I am also having trouble with representation. I recently joined a second guild and stood down from representing the old one (Forgotten [HoH]) because I wanted to represent the new one (Unreal Heirs [MSPA]). But now I cannot represent either guild. I can click the button to do so but nothing happens.

This post is probably the most informative on my issue.
I have been trying for the past 3 hours to get into my guild bank.
1st I kept getting teh error im not in a guild..
So then I tried changng servers – NO go there
Next I tried another pc to make sure it was not my install – again no go
2nd I stood sown my characters – No Go there
3rd I had my Guild Leader remove me from teh guild
4th I get a Guild invite. And I choose Represent – Still a no go..
This started for me today around 5pm EST
I cant represent or use the guild stash. I am guild leader AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE AND EARN INFLUENCE… it says i am not in a guild pls help
pretty much same as above post
I qued up the Guild Stash Upgrade yesterday morning and signed on today to find it was no longer in the que. When we checked the upgrade history, it showed when we started the build but didn’t show why it was gone. No one in the guild has the ability to cancel upgrades and our guild is still missing the 1000 influence we used. Its a two day build so it should still be going, but we checked to see if it went through anyways and our guild still does not have a Guild Stash.
Our guild is small and influence is hard to come by. Is there a way to get our Guild Stash building again or at least get the influence back?

I tried to use a Tome of Influence received as a story quest reward. I was told I did not belong to a guild despite the guild panel showing me as an officer of my guild and that I was representing. I tried to stand down and re-represent. The stand down worked but when I clicked on Represent, nothing happened. I changed zones, I re-logged twice, and still cannot Represent.
[edit] I just zoned back into the Overflow Server of Lions Arch, tried again, and this time it worked and I was able to Represent my guild. I once again had full guild services available. Odd that it seems so random.

Noticed a few things, main thing being that I can not represent my guild, and I’m the leader. That is not good.
Also, I can’t seem to create a guild emblem. The option at the registrar guy is not there (and I can’t access the bank from him either, says I have no persmissions? lol!).
I can live without the emblem (roughly), but not being able to represent my guild is a game breaker. Help please?

(edit)
Travelling via waypoint to another region allowed me to represent once more. Now about that emblem issue… /waits for answer
(edit#2)
Seems that the 4 guild NPC’s think I am not representing and thus will not service me (no pun intended).

one of my characters Archy Ravenblood was the leader of a guild The Elderly Larping Adventures and i went to join a different guild with one of my other characters and now archy doesnt have access to TELA cuz its not in the guild tab and its not letting me join any other guilds or represent them. so i dont know if i caused this from my lack of exp or what but if u cant join more than 1 guild then it should prolly get stated somewhere. also if i can i would just like to put archy back in control of TELA
Tonight I accepted a new guild request and was not able to represent the guild or any of the other guilds that I am apart of.
Was wondering if this is a bug other people are having not being able to switch which guild you represent or something else is going on?

I am also having trouble with the guild system. Created a guild “Massively Meh” today. I am the leader, have 1 friend also on the roster as a member. I am unable to access anything in the Guild. Can not change their rank, can not create new ranks or edit current ones’ permissions (it’s showing the leader position as having one permission and I can not edit it to include all permissions), and no option for creating a message of the day. They used their tome of influence to give the guild points, but it is still set at 0 as if they never used the tome. Have logged out and back in and nothing has changed. This a bug or any available solutions at the moment?

Problem: The guild window is open on every character that I log on to. I get a disconnect within 10 seconds regardless of any action I take, i.e. closing the window or not touching anything. Cannot play on my account because of this.
I don’t know if this is relevant. This morning I got a unsolicited guild invite on a new character. When I tried to decline the invitation on the guild panel, I got a disconnect. Same error message for everything: The game client lost connection to the server. Code=58.11:5:501:101 When I tried to select represent for my guild, I get a disconnect.
After playing on my main this evening, I got a message from the guild bank that I had to be in a guild to use it. I opened the guild window to confirm that I was represented and got a disconnect. I am still on the members list on that character as represented. Now the guild window is open on every character. Again, no idea if any of this is relevant.
Edit: Issue is resolved this morning. Thank you!

I still have an issue with my guild vanishing, I was the leader of a guild called The Tautology Club and it’s tag was Tau.
We were on stormbluff isle and the guil dwas broken for days and now I can’t even see the guild for more then a week now. I have been waiting patiently for this to be fixed but all I got from support when I sent a ticket was to just wait and keep an eye on game status updates.
Any news on when my guild and many of the others that vanished will be back?
We had 99 members and a ton of upgrades/items/money in the bank.
EU – Gunnar’s Hold, Moths and Flame guild:
Cannot access guild stash (purchased) at any rank, cannot access guild armor vendor (purchased) at any rank. The NPCs claim that our guild does not have the necessary upgrades, or we are not in a guild.
As the leader, I am able to use all the guild functions, queue upgrades, edit ranks, set the guild message – but there’s no access to the stash and the armor vendor.
