Guild Wars 2

Same problem! It’s getting irritating

HI guys, I’ve been able to download the big Winters Day patch. I’ve also been able to play for a few hours. However, I recently closed the game completely and upon opening the client, the launcher began to download what seems like another update. However, it’s constantly stuck at “Downloading 120KB (0KB/sec)” without displaying the log-in credentials.

Anyone else with this issue?

Thanks!

I wanted to get a friend on TC. I tried every ten minutes on a sunday late morning for a couple hours. It worked. EARLY sunday mornings are supposed to be a good time. When my BF and I moved to TC, a bunch of people followed us. It took a bit, but everyone got in. you just have to be persistent and not give up. But start moving NOW as transfers will become paid on the 28th when guesting is implemented.

That’s awesome that you guys got into TC! Is there a specific time frame on Sundays that worked for you? Also, do we have to log in and out every time in order to see an updated World Select box? It seems like World Select does not update by simply re-clicking World Select. I could be wrong though

Thanks!

Yep they can see who’s reping and who’s not .Personally i find this a better system than having to have 5 or 6 alts taking up slots that could otherwise be filled by other members. Think how much faster the 500 man roster would fill up if each person in a guild had all 8 classes in it.

If the limit was by character, obviously it could be higher, since no player would ever be logged in with two characters from the same account at the same time. In fact, there’s no reason why the guilds could not have a limit to the number of players while still displaying only the character names, and not the full account information. It’s trivial to code.

Only “mutual friends” (people who are on your friends list and who have you on their friends list) should be able to see each other’s account details and the names of all characters. The current system is stalker / hacker heaven.

I was just playing today and a the co-leader (or something like that) of a guild I had joined whispered me on a character I just made yesterday and asked why I wasn’t repping the guild and basically insisting that I repped on that character and all others or left. This system of accounts joining guilds removes all anonymity from playing the game; I didn’t even feel like I could escape to another character after that because everyone who has ever seen me in game (or on the forums) can contact me whenever they feel like it (until I report/block them, but that’s beside the point. I don’t want to be /ignore-ing everybody).

Worst.Idea.Ever.

Nice username, btw, Acc.

I agree with this completely. There has to be a fix for this. It’s sometimes not fun playing the game knowing that although you have the option to go invisible, others in guild can still see your updated map changes and therefore know you’re actually online. Sometimes it’s just nice to play alone and enjoy the game, taking a break from everything else.
