Guild Wars 2

I also love how people assume I do not have these achievements. I’m not complaining about not being ABLE to get them.

My point is, the achievement themselves promote bad team play. People want their achievements, they will do whatever they can to get them.

My suggestions were just that, suggestions. Go listen to map chat in some of these games, people are complaining, and rightly so. If the object is to run presents, then WHY would you let the other team get them first? Just for an achievement? How is that getting people to want to play to win?

The stop a present carrier is for last hitting, something that doesn’t exist in any other PVP activity in this game. It encourages people to hold back until they can get what they need.

This game was promoted with the following concept: Participate and be rewarded. Not, only one person can do this at a time.

WvW, PVP, Tournaments, everything gives a reward, albeit lower for the losing side. PVE is the same way.

So now we get a new form that completely changes the way the game is played.

I do like the snowball fight CONCEPT. The addition of “selfish” achievements do not promote team style play. Maybe in a week when everyone has what they need, we’ll actually see some fun matches. Now there’s nothing.

You may have gotten into some good matches, but in the two hours I was playing it was completely not-fun. At one point, the entire map was nothing but scouts.

I also played a support and ran with the present carrier to keep them alive. Does that get me anything? Nope.

Seriously, I just spent the past 2 hours attempting to do the snowball PVP. In that time I have seen the most unsportsmanlike conduct I have ever witnessed.

No one helping their team. Everyone wants to be the one to turn in the present because.. YOU TIED an achievement to it.

Seriously?

How about:
Win 10 games as a scout
Win 10 games as a support
Win 10 games as a heavy…

Notice the win part? You made an activity that does NOT promote any type of teamwork. It’s too easy to follow your team mate, wait for them to get focused.. pick up the present, then finish running it in.

Also, getting the killing blow on a target? Seriously? So now we’re encouraging last hits like some MOBA?

I have loved almost everything else about this event, but this is a little over the top.

I added mine up and should be at 1,886. I show 1,780. So, not sure what it’t NOT counting. Frustrating to say the least.

edit I had 2,700+ prior to the patch

Went from 2,700+ to down to 1,780.

If I add up all the current points shown, I should at LEAST be at 1,886. I do my dailies religiously and haven’t missed many.

Losing the points is pretty crappy. This will be ignored though, since it doesn’t affect game play. /sadpanda

I lost over 1000…

The warden is amazing. I too was in the same boat as some, thinking that he was worthless.

Then I started using him and putting him between myself and ranged attackers. This skill is amazing. I use the focus ALL the time now. Dungeons, PVE, WvW. Haven’t played with him in sPVP since it’s a little more chaotic, but I will at some point.

With Sharper Images he hits like a truck.

The complete lack of ANY response to this issue is becoming a very sore subject. It has been two weeks since our guild disappeared. The guild leadership formed an alternate guild several days later since there was no response from you.

Since that time, we’ve earned almost 150K worth of influence. Yet, we are not buying any upgrades in the HOPES that you will somehow make things right. Fix our original guild that had multiple upgrades. The original guild that almost 150 members used their tomes of influence on. The original guild with a name that spans multiple games, that no one can see.

It’s going to be very hard for us to keep members when they are not getting ANY of the benefits of being in a guild except for the chat. All those nice bonuses you allow communities to use.

I’d say please give some kind of response, but the polite way doesn’t seem to be working. So, enough with the silence. Tell us something. There has to be something you can do to enable the guild features in a game that HAS that word in it’s name.

Two weeks with no comment is enough. Man up and tell us what is going on.

Seriously guys, can you at least post SOMETHING acknowledging the bug besides a comment or two on twitter?

Specifically, for those guilds that are acting like they were deleted, we’d like to know the following:
- Will we get those guilds back?
- Can you merge the influence from the temp guilds everyone has created into the original guilds.
- If you CAN’T get the guilds back, how will you reimburse people who used their Tomes of Influence (an item that was paid for with real money I might add).

It’s going on almost TWO weeks now that our guild disappeared (two weeks this coming Monday) with no communication. You can post to Reddit, you can post to Facebook, and you can post to Twitter. How about posting here so those of us who are NOT spending any of the influence on guild upgrades can at least know what the plans are.

People have lost a week of time on guild upgrades now, and it’s hurting the communities. How can we recruit people if we have nothing to entice them with?

Throw us a bone, PLEASE.

Hi everyone,

There’s currently a bug that’s preventing some guilds from upgrading their guild when your guild has 10 ranks defined. We’re working on fixing this asap, but in the meantime would like to share a workaround: go to your Roles tab and delete one of those ranks; you should then have 9 ranks) and be able to upgrade again.

Sorry about that and thanks for your understanding!

Any word for the many guilds that have posted here about their entire guilds disappearing?

Something would be great, an acknowledgment would be a great start.

Responce Requested

Guild Name: Grievance
Status: Invisible

Grievance was created on the first day of headstart. Shortly afterward the guild just vanished for all but a few. After waiting for a responce (which we have NEVER gotten) from Arenanet on this issue, we had to make an Alternate Guild named: Dark Grievance.

We would request that one of two things happen:

a) Fix our original Guild and transfer ALL of the influence from Dark Grievance to Grievance.

~or!

b) Change the name of Dark Grievance to Grievance.

Honestly this is becoming ridiculous. Please fix this issue!

Seriously ArenaNet, we had almost all 200+ members use their tomes of Influence when they first joined Grievance [GVNC] on Jade Quarry. We had upgrades, and we lost all of it. Then we lost the influence gains while none of us had a guild. We’ve lost almost a weeks worth of time, and with the competitive nature of the game it’s really disheartening to see our work going towards nothing.

Some response as to what is intended would be great. So far the new guild has held off on any upgrades because we’re unsure what your intentions are. It’s very frustrating to say the least.

Some response would be great.

Thanks
