Guild Wars 2

Having started in the 3-day headstart I have enjoyed the 5th birthday gifts, then it occurred to me that my guild is also 5 years old (even older if you count gw1).

I think those guilds still going after all this time should also get recognition and a big shiny decoration to commemorate this achievement.

Glicko cliffs can only get worse – each time a world makes it into T1 it puts more glicko into the top 3 because that world has more than the one they ousted. A similar issue occurs at the bottom, anytime someone makes it out of the bottom they take a small amount of glicko with them, so the bottom 3 have less to share. Glicko loses effectiveness at the end points, and progressively gets worse.

And on top of all that they have now frozen the lower half of the linked worlds so that they can never improve, no matter how much they contribute to the result.

As a player who has always been with IoJ my concern is this: since our glicko remains unchanged, our rank will stay the same no matter who we are paired with.

This means that we will always be paired as the unnamed partner and we will never be able to rise in the ranks and regain naming privileges. About the only advantage of transferring to IoJ is the cheap entry fee to T1.

Edit: maybe Anet can set it up so the world names swap over on alternating weeks? Let AR, IoJ and ET fight it out for T1 (with a little help from YB, JQ and BG)

As a casual WvW player, I liked to just wander around, take the occasional camp, maybe meet up with a couple of others to take towers. Most of the people who wanted big fights already transferred up.

So why is IoJ suddenly thrown into T1? Big blob fights isn’t my thing, so I will probably be sticking to PvE, no place for a solo wanderer in T1.

My shiny new staff keeps jumping out of its weapon slot into my bag – accidently salvaged it and had to make a new one

Try during the less popular times – servers can change from Full to Very High at these times.

I have been waiting patiently for the current pet bugs to be fixed.

My pet has been attacking without provocation anyone or anything that gets within range – and then it protects enemies by bodyblocking my arrows – I have to move around to the side to do damage.

Please fix these soon – the “ranger hate” has returned.

Since you haven’t provided any other information, you are welcome to ignore this if it doesn’t apply.

My second computer uses windows XP and gw2 was unable to start properly. Following another person’s advice I changed the shortcut by adding -windowed after the “C:\ . . . \Gw2.exe” and was able to run gw2 as long as I stay in windowed mode.

I hope this helps.

I agree with all the items the OP posted.

Another thing leaders need is the ability to send mail to more than 3 people within the guild before getting blocked – I know the blocking is there to reduces spamming, but if it only applied to guild leaders/officers mailing guild members it would not be an issue.

Also, Anet promised guild halls were coming when GW2 first began – so where are they? Could they be incorporated into the rebuild of LA?

A while ago I tried to buy gems using Paypal and I got the message that the transaction could not be processed, try again later. I then used my credit card to buy the gems, but about 30 minutes later I noticed that the original Paypal transaction had gone through also, so I had bought double the amount intended.

Since then I have twice used Paypal to buy gems and still got the message that the transaction had failed, but these times I waited, and both times the transaction eventually went through about 20 minutes later.

While this was not a problem for me, it could be bad for someone on a tight budget if they inadvertently purchased double. The failed transaction needs to be cancelled properly, or the message changed to correctly explain that it is delayed, not failed.

Just in case people get confused – I would like to state that I am Alien from IoJ so don’t blame me for comments made by that other one.

When I looked at the leaderboards, none of the filters worked for me. I select a filter and nothing happened. I am logged in properly.

The latest is labelled Accounts Questionnaire:

The latest one claims to be an Arenanet questionnaire – I received 2 scam emails today

IoJ is not dead – we were temporarily downed but managed to revive and are currently holding 2nd place in our matchup. Now that the mindless zergs have gone we have been able to convince more of the thinking population to join in.

Just to let the developers know – Claw of Jormag event was only fixed for the first event after the newest build – then it reverted to the badly positioned shield which can’t be targeted by normal weapons.

Even if the target is provided by a teammate, bows just get the obstructed message.

The shield needs to be fixed immediately – too many players are just hanging back now, killing the spawns or doing nothing at all, while the shield stays up for even longer.

They then join in once the event moves onto stage 2.

The whole event is really bad value for the amount of time it takes now.

Did Claw again today, the first shield was back to normal – I thought “great!” but then the 2nd and 3rd shields were bugged still.

I tried clicking near base – bows still can’t target it, and the bazookas are so slow.

Since the wintersday update I am unable to target the ice shield in the first part at all. My normal weapon (shortbow) can’t target it at all. Firing a shot in the right direction will allow the bazooka to auto target, but does very little damage, and makes bringing down Claw an even longer grind than it was before, for what is usually a poor reward (blues & greens).

The News RSS is still stuck back at halloween – could we have at least an acknowledgement that anet is aware of the problem and looking to fix it?

I have a guild website which references the feed for my members, doesn’t look good when it always says the same things for well over a month.

Just a note to report that it still isn’t feeding properly – hasn’t updated since halloween act 2.

In case its a browser issue, I’m using IE9.

In crafting panel need to be able to filter crafting level recipes, eg, 0-75, 75-150, etc
so you dont have to scroll through tons of low level stuff to see the ones you are currently using (the components become greyed out while they are still needed to complete that section).
