A lot of people from SOR are talking about how a large guild [EG] is forcing its members to spam this thread and disparage the megaservers. I just felt like I should give context to the last few dozen posts. Hopefully all of this noise gets ignored.

The guild posting is not being forced and I would like you to back up this claim that it is being first. Also, why do you say that it is just noise and hope that it gets ignored? If the people are bringing complaints in a thread that is discussing this issue, then it isn’t noise.

I think the MegaServer is a good concept, even though there have been some issues with it. It seems good for newer players as well as creates a better experience when leveling alts or re-experiencing non-dungeon PVE content, there just seems to be some issues that guilds have with this, primarily larger guilds.

I think one thing that might be a good idea for the MegaServer is to allow guilds to be able to create a temporary instance of maps potentially at a cost of around 100 or 200 influence to simply limit from being used at all times and allow this map to be guild exclusive and allow the players to swap into their guild’s hosted version of the map via a button in their map (and also allow others to potentially join into the map).

The main thing that I can see that might potentially not work on this is Guild Bounties, but if we could modify something like that I think it could cover that use case as well.

To the people that are using the engineer with auto-healing turrets:

How does this work exactly? Did you set up auto-attacking turrets that auto-healed and then idle and the enemies the turrets kill give you experience?

They are a business also, they aren’t going to say that stuff, it locks them into commitments on things which if they fail to meet expectations will get even more backlash, that’s the way most companies work. They will occasionally if they have gotten a ton of feedback say they are working on something, but this is one of the rare instances where they say it I believe. I believe it was stated in one of the GW2 Updates informations they release every couple of days currently.

Oh joy, someone from Final Fantasy XI/XIV. I did that for like a year though I couldn’t get interested in their crafting system (though I did take advantage of stupid people in San d’Oria by buying wood from the Logger’s Guild then reselling for 5 times the price or more in Auction House and people would buy it o.O

Anyways, enough reminiscing, I think that would actually be better as well, I think the problem I had in FF XI (I played for the first year) was getting materials, not actually the crafting system. The only thing I really liked mainly about Final Fantasy XI was the home system where you could put furniture you bought or made, which was nice. Hopefully we can have nice stuff like that if we ever get guild houses or something in this game…

Sorry for the random tangent, but I did contribute during it, lol.

I kind of agree with this. I find myself often running out of space and I have bought two bank slots and all bag slots and have 12+ slot bags in all of them and I still run out. I find it hard to get rid of stuff though also. I only have 10 tokens (Beedletun or whatever) currently but it would be nice if instead these were shown and stored in one of your Hero pages instead of in your inventory.

Elite Skills should Complement Your Profession, Not Replace It!

No complaints here from a Human Thief, my Elite skills are A-Ok. Looking on the Wiki at your skill set it does seem like those two out of three of your elite skills would suck, but then again I like going in and doing things fast and doing status effects and stealth damage.

The dynamic events aren’t consistently there and it would make them a lot easier to miss and locate. Also, “participating” in dynamic events really depends on what the event is… if it is a caravan guarding thing, then you really just have to be in the area; if it is an item picking thing you really just have to get one item and wait; if it is fight the boss all you really have to do is get a single long range hit on the boss pretty much. It is really easy to “participate” in dynamic events, so easy it would help make it ridiculously quick to just count participation in x events as the completion if the number was low and if the number was high and didn’t allow overlaps people would struggle for several hours to look for all the locations for the dynamic events (I am assuming not looking at strategy guide/wikis since you can’t assume that ever). The renown hearts are there, marked on the map and always there (except if a monster downed them for a short time of course). The renown hearts are also useful markers on the map for if you need to go back and buy items from karma vendors like ingredients and stuff like that later on.

Also, if you have Windows you could install BootCamp on your Mac as well. I believe that they would have to re-write their whole graphics engine for OpenGL to support the Mac specifically, so they targeted Windows. I am primarily a Linux user but keep a Mac Mini running Windows hooked up to my TV for games like Guild Wars 2 since that works nicely for me. Using Guild Wars 2 through Wine on Mac OS X, your mileage may vary. I tried it on my netbook running Linux using Wine and it was terrible but that probably says more about my netbook than Guild Wars 2.

I feel like they are good for zone completion because they give you more of a feel of the region and the culture of the people in the area. They give you more of a social aspect I think with the people of the town/village/farm so that you can identify more hopefully. Also, they often allow you to do three or more different things to get it, so its not like they are always saying to get one specific item 10 times or whatever. I am pretty sure whichever “reward me for every apple I bring” one has more than one way to do it also. In addition, its not like you have to return to them with every item each time or anything. If you don’t want to do them, you don’t get the chest… the chest is supposed to essentially be a reward for getting to know the area really well.

I completely agree with this, when I am in downed state as a thief I often am spending an extra about 5 seconds trying to position this circle as close to the edge as possible without going out of range for my teleport downed ability.

They have already stated they are working on this, no need to make a new thread about it.

If you are just getting your helmets and shields from the normal gold vendors that will happen. The fancier ones are gotten either by crafting or through quests or dungeons or rare boss drops.
