Guild Wars 2

I’ve gotten 3 off low level brown cows and low level fish enemies.

I found out if you stop caring then you’ll get them.

^ I’m a noob and gotten 2. Sadly I can’t gift them as they aren’t for me.

Why can’t I!?

To Anet,

First of all great job on the Dragonbash Event. I popped in after being away to see what the fuss was about.

It’s pretty cool and good that you make these little things however my little stint is why aren’t the tickets/skins tradeable like the Holo Wings?

I’ve been a lucky noob and have:

2 Tickets
3 Holo Wings

The wings are great as I can mail them to others, the tickets not so much.

Could I at least be able to 1 time gift a ticket over to someone that actually wants them? I’m appreciative but the skins aren’t for me. (Sorry!)

Anyway thanks for a cool event!

Someone bought C.dust hoping it would stay at that price to see it crash?

Just like Ectos when they were 30+s. Prices like that don’t get much higher and are bound to crash when players dump their stocks at the same time.

Same situation here. Either Anet was going to do something about it or prices crash due to player greed.

Common sense told me to get out of it fairly quick.

T6 mats should be around that price not too cheap but not totally out of reach for the average player with other commitments.

@hedix full time rep is not mandatory if you’re with other members pleas do other than that no ones forcing ya!

Thanks for everyone continuing this on, the hard work is much appreciated!

That’s awesome!

If any EU players would like to help and be part of the dungeoneers then give Sky a heads up! NA players don’t always have to be the ones the all the cool stuff.

I still pop in Gw2 time to time and look forward to seeing how this goes!

So folks starting up a general dungeon helper thread? That’s cool already got my BA thread in PhP

Why don’t you folks try and promote for both EU and NA ? And have separate ‘ranks’ indicating NA/EU ? If this thing gets bigger just split the region into two chapters?

This is good started Union as a helper but should’ve thought of this too. Always helper new folks with AC was stuck there for 300+hrs out of 400hrs

Why not try that and promote dungeon help for all until it gets bigger? Have some dedicated folks for both NA And EU side?

@knives and everyone.

Currently not playing Gw2 or any other game for the time being. Currently trying to achieve some straight A’s at least.

At the moment starting other projects and building new bikes to ride and get better at trying to do concept painting when I’m not studying.
At the moment no urge for gaming.

Hope everyone’s doing great!

Good to see this still going!

Keep up the Awesomeness everyone!

Comes in for random bump. Got nuffin on me!

Hey Bon Hiver,

If you’re looking for folks to group with why not click the link in my Sig and write a post? Lots of folks to help you out. Why not give that a try?

Also Bon Hiver? Bon Iver fan or my mistake?

Ah Ty.
Yea it’s digital as it’s much quicker than paints. I’m pretty impatient. Not my normal style as it’s got more artistic, I’m a sucker for photorealism type stuff. Getting into that semi realism with a more artistic flare.

Ah so people are talking about this!

Not sure if I had a little hand in this. I stopped playing the game and had a quite a few ectos and sold them all at a more than lower price. Then bought out the others and sold them lower.

It gave some people trying to get ectos a chance but someone’s buying them out to resell for 27s + so watch out again. They probs had a few thousand gold I only had a few hundred. Now given most of it away, don’t think I’ll be back on for actual play and only helping Union out with funding.

So I kinda annoyed the ecto traders.

Because this shouldn’t be down here…

Yes, I still watch this…..

First post in the art section!

Though I no longer play GW2 anymore, this is a little thing I did for some awesome folks for Operation: Union

A brilliant pair of people. Kiteisa and nottsgman
Amazing, kind and selfless pair that have been a big help to me so I hope this can repay at least some of the amazing things they’ve done to help me and other.

Hope everyone’s still having fun in GW2 and hope you all keep helping on another!

Glitch

If need be you can hop over to the Operation Union thread.
Really good bunch of people there to help.

A good set of people can put a lot of fun back in the game.

Glitch

Hey ehren!

Why not check the Operation Union thread?
It’s there to help folks find some game buddies, in my experience there’s a lot of great people that would always have another buddy for map exploration.

Try that and see what happens.

Hope you’re enjoying the game, it’s just some companions can make it a lot better.

Glitch

^ Pure Awesomeness.

Welcome to the new folks, you can’t find a better bunch to give you a helping hand and some great company !

To the regulars: being busy as always. I’ll drop in the corner and catch up with everyone! Keep up the brilliant work!

What you people doing here… Ey?

Welcome to all the new folks!

Really great bunch of people here that’ll be happy to help.

Thanks to you regulars that keep this going!

Glitch

Wow, 22000 + views and lots of posts!

Keep up the good work everyone and welcome to the new folks!

Thanks everyone.

Hello there Isa.

We’re a chatty bunch any questions just shout out. We also have a website which is on the first pg or many of the folks sigs.

@Hele good to hear you’re problems are sorted. Still got problems even when I nuked the pc. Still crashes with gw the only thing on after drivers, updates etc.

Ah well time to bring back my tablet and carry on with my drawing project. Gotta be something on their end done it all on mine. :L

Hello everyone!

Warm welcome to all!

@Hele hope those tech problems have gone for you, mines still there.

Thanks for getting 20k views pretty impressive effort!

All of the above advice is good, I’ll just throw out my experience.

I am/was in the same position, it started very small and there were a lot leaving etc. The only way I’ve managed to overcome it is by attrition, make bonds with your fellow players and soon enough the ones that stay are the ones you can always rely on. From their you can restructure it all but with the help of the good players that stuck by you. Then you can delegate and share the workload. I for one am always thankful for them helping me because they want to.

I too can’t be online regularly as I’m in college myself, it’s only carrying on because of the amazing help I’ve had. One that I remind them of overtime. Just do the best you can and it’ll mote likely than not improve with pure attrition.

I’ll do what I’ve been doing prior to Operation: Union. Taking folks that are willing to learn the dungeons not abusing the stupid cheap mechanics etc.

Those unwilling to learn will be in a world of troll, those that want to learn I will teach them.

Running dungeons since forever. Heck definitely not as good as Weth yet but be pretty interesting to be able to get there. Just not to keen on using the GS all the time.

Stealing 1501th post! :P

Just like to say warm welcome to all that have taken an interest. Currently still unable to get this scrap going as I’m still crashing.

Will do my best to get into game and help out our Eu company. I’m still the avid dungeon hunter but it’ll be nice to actually go out and explore once in a while and level my alts… to do dungeons of course.

Can’t be of any help as of now but feel free to ask your fellow awesome!
Any questions feel free to ask any of members to point you in the right direction!

As always be kind to others and lend a helping hand,

Announcement

I am stepping down from GW2 due to tech problems and my current outlook on Anet. I am unable to execute the client, support has not resolved the issue so will continue to solve this myself. So please refrain from contacting me and I recommend contacting the other amazing members of Union.

I am currently done with the game and do not know when I’ll be back.
To senior members I hope I have given you the needed tools to reorganise structure and to do as you desire. As always I am grateful for all you’ve done as they are what make this great, had nothing to do with me.

To the people I hope you continue to be yourself and to encourage a better widespread community, it is up to US. Not the developers, what we do is what shapes the community. Continue to be the amazing people you are, show it and show it to others.

So I will be standing down from Union. I am taking time out on frustration as I do not want to tarnished what good people have done. So I am done and have had enough.

Be who you are and continue to help others in everything you do. For that Union will always be proud.

Glitch

Edit: Problem resolved.

We are able to accept future invites!

The situation was due to the player exceeding the maximum number of allocated guilds. The message was misleading, causing players to lead to the assumption of a bug.

All fixed now!

^ Sadly this is true. 3D modelling stuff is kinda tricky. My friend does it for art as he’s going into graphics and animation. It’s time consuming, I tried it and it took me ages to make one little thing.

I dunno having a community concept would be nice to provide Anet designers a nice concept basis. I do it if I had time, I for one would like a few more practical armour sets. E.g some nicer plate armours.

I might post here as I have an idea in the bank. My artistic skills are probably average at best compared to the other fan artists some of their stuff are awesome!

I am sorry you feel that way Eatyourwar. There are many jokes that go on in that chat and it is possible for misunderstanding.

Yes as Gilo said an Ele is extremely challenging to play at early lvls. If you manage to get it to the higher lvls it becomes worth it. I do recommend talking with Gilo for any tips and tricks.

Hmmm… I will look into the matter as that is something I do not want however due to my current situation keeping track with this is pretty difficult.

Lol you lot crack me up! I’ve calmed down wit the help of my buddies sure I personally am still not happy.

Isn’t it 100 to 1800 gems ? So… Yea that’s fine… Given how much gems cost, I’m a student I can’t really pay for these things.

Name: Eatyourwar
Main Characters: Sylyras / Varals – Sylvari Ele / Asuran Engineer – 6 / 3.

Active: Whenever I feel like playing; -7 GMT (Canada)
Additional Comments:

Having a relatively difficult time staying alive and what not since I’m doing almost everything solo; as a result, I get mobbed pretty hard, and the stronger creatures have a tendency for gobbling me up like mince meat.

That said, I’m generally trying to focus on gearing/party questing. Events, helping NPC’s, etc. Anything that’ll level me up fast, or allow me to get stronger gear. That way I can get into the PvP aspect a lot more quickly, and follow that up with/hold preliminary to dungeon-running and WvW.

I would like to focus more on my Engineer, but my Elementalist has proved quite useful; either way works, depending on what’s easier, really. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

And as for joining a guild, I would like to, however, I’m not one for complicated measures being taken for.. simple things. That said, if anyone is in the aforementioned guild and would be able to send an invite, it’d be appreciated – or Glitch could contact me in-game, and invite me. ~_~ Either way.

I’d also appreciate any and all tips, hints, tricks, etc. that could be offered as I am new – as a whole – to Guild Wars. The type of person, mind you, who can’t be arsed to go back and play original games unless they’re better than the sequels – in which this is not the case here. Or so I would assume, as most computer games are… rather lackluster in their earlier days.

Rambling aside, thank you once more in advance, and hopefully this all works out.

- Eatyourworldwarcharacterloverchildrendreams, etc.

If you have attempted to contact me to via whisper don’t bother, due to game client log errors I am unable to see chat logs properly and have major latency, if you contact me via in game mailing I am only able to address it on Fri to Sun.

For the time being I recommend you contact the regulars expressing further interest.
Those people run the show and are a hella of a lot better people than I am. Those are the people making this what it is.

Furthermore I have taken a break from this game due to certain issues I am currently working on, technical and otherwise. In the current time I am working on a project for some very kind people that I would like to get done asap.

So all in all I will be continuing to watch this but not as actively as I would do. This will probably change back to the old routine in due time.

Hit me with why the alternatives aren’t feasible!

Hint, hint

I really want to try and understand this, silent treatment doesn’t help.
If given a response I’d probably stop with the QQing. This first time I’m being very whiny and vocal. Yep I know I’m being a D.Bag but this is something I really care about.

^ Very true however you can still take those feelings into account. As always use discretion and then a good response why X is better or why Y may not be possible.

More often than not a good response is all that’s needed. Take a look at some of the dungeon threads that Robert responds in.

Also heads you’ll be reading about a lot of peoples disappointment in the thread. I turned into an angry whiner because I really do care about one community not 2 communities.

Apologies in advance!

Hmmm… This seems like Occam’s Razor.

The Forum’s I think should be used in conjunction withheld available data they have.
Many expressed their issues about culling now it’s being fixed.

Forum’s can be used to highlight specific areas of interest that I dev can choose to improve or leave as in their eyes it is reasonable. I think there’d be less raging about X not being fixed if they provided statistical evidence and a statement to why a particular choice has been made. I would be more than happy and would adapt to what I perceived was problem X.

I think it’s when it is left unresolved and people think it’s the Dev’s ignoring them then it’s major QQ time.

Give me some numbers and thought out statement then I’m happy.
They should use all the tools at hand, I think they most likely are. The official responses can be helpful but more often than not they cannot give a full reason or simply do not know about that area which is fine. The ones that know about it are trying to fix it, it’d just be nice to have someone in that area that can dish out some details.

Robert is doing a fantastic job! Been talking about dungeons and the reasons why XYZ. I hope more follow his example. Colin’s getting around to it which is awesome.

I do commend the community staff but they normally don’t have the knowledge about the things I want to know about. Sorry, I know you do the best you can!

More responses would be ideal but if they know the problems maybe a little update on the news thread would be good to quell fears and to let the players they are working on it. Please not the vague ones or the things you hope to accomplish. What you actually are doing please!

^ Thing is they never told us in good advance either…

I used to have a lot of praise for Anet, now I don’t know anymore. If they don’t care about community I don’t they mind about individuals, maybe the ones that generate the most revenue… Even then.

Player for the moment. Just too many hiccups have really tarnished the rep and made the game a lot less enjoyable. That’s putting it very nicely. My current community corner is what keeps me from just raging and demanding a full refund.

Guesting issue has really made me into a disgusting unhappy troll.

A refound after how many hours of gameplay? Just wondering..

This is after 600+ hours of gaming. Playing very casually. I really enjoyed the game from the start met amazing people.

I’m currently occupied with being a Doctor. I care about the people. The game and company? I not too sure anymore.

Dec/Jan I’ve been having problems that haven’t been solved, then Guesting just made me rage so much inside. The game is good, I just reformed my current view of GW2. There are some amazing people such as Colin Johanson, Jon Peters (even though doesn’t have a forum presence). People like Colin seem to have a genuine desire to make this really good but seem to be having their hands tied behind their backs.

The game is still good. The original concept and my outlook has changed quite a bit.
Then now I have CTD’s with all solutions even creating new service ports etc. So I can’t even play the game properly. My bro won’t game either as I’m not on and then his buddy won’t game either. So indirectly they lose 3 people but then again they don’t care anymore.

Because of their oversight they forgot that Na and Eu players might want to game together, so created 2 separate datacentres.

Hello meentje a senior member will send an invite as soon as they can.

I run dungeons on the EU side and would be glad to help when I can. I am on sparsely though as currently I would say I’m not very nice to be around due to te Guesting debacle.

Our most populated Eu Side is Gunnar’s are frequent dungeon runners are on Aurora Glade though.

@Shan the loyalty idea is pretty cool.

Too much stupid WvW drama. I’d rather have a good linked community.

Interesting idea. Loyalty would be good and seems well thought out. I don’t know about the node gathering having limitations say 2 guests servers per week would limit the amount of node hopping but then it would cheaper mats?

There will be spys regardless in WvW anyway. To me the majority of WvW pro’s will do anything to keep on winning. They don’t really care about helping the community the moves are to challenge themselves as they never stay in one spot for long or to run away from a team that beat them.

Their moving always messes up the population and leaves the poor folks on a FUBAR server.

Same I could really care less about the minor issues make a proper community that they always go on about but never actually do.

Always handy to have some toughness, con removals and stun breakers.

Toughness just allows for a bit more room. Once you know your way around you can glass cannon.

Con removals if you suspect an enemy to put cons on you this is sensible.
Stun breakers, useful especially for AC Scavs.

Stick at it. First few will be rough but keep going. Find some cool people and stick with it.

After a while you can run all dungeons with no armour.
It’s funny when you never go down and the leets whining at you go down and QQ.

If you try it, it really makes you learn all the skills to survive. Having proper gear is good for a bit of an easier time. Fractals wear armour.

I quite interested on the alternatives others have given. I would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable would explain to me the problems with setting up the suggested alternatives, benefits or why it may not be feasible.

I think they already know my displeasure. I. AM. NOT. VERY. PLEASED.

Some sort of official response would be cool but I’d appreciate if any other players more knowledgeable can answer it.

^ Yea… My group were like this. Now I just feel like I gave them the finger myself. They say they would never change it and neither would I but it still feels like I’ve wasted their and my own time.

I’d like more frequent responses on this and not having this just brushed under the rug.

They’re already said it’s not possible, so it’s not possible. This thing that is demonstrably quite possible, and indeed, something they have successfully implemented in a previous title just simply can’t be done! It only took five months of hand-waving and saying ‘eh, we’ll get to it eventually’ to work it out.

It’s absolutely maddening how much I was looking forward to this feature and how much Anet are simply going to put their fingers in their ears until the complaints stop.

As said there are other alternatives. I wantwant to know why those aren’t possible either.

Yes I understand the separate datacentres but why aren’t the other alternatives possible? Or have they simply dismissed them? (I have some small faith to believe they did not)

I do understand the current situation but why aren’t the alternatives feasible?!
Putting their fingers in their ears? I’ll hold and keep posting as usual. I can be one patient troll if I have to…

So they don’t care about us?
Cause it sure feels that way.

@Amulrei This is actually how I feel at this moment. It just comes across as very lazy with all the hype etc we were given. The start was cool, now they just frustrate me.
