Guild Wars 2

I love the decorations for Guild Hall and have been using both the Ascalonian Tree, Palm and Green Tree as much as I have been able to do. But Wintersday is coming, is there any chance to add Snow Covered trees to the decoration choices as well? Also, a Cherry Blooming Tree for spring would be amazing to behold when entering the guild hall.

My wishes for anet staff to think about is:
More tree and also shrub decorations for Guild Hall
Snow Covered Tree
Cherry Blooming Tree

Thank you in advance and thanks for the decorations so far. The plant ones are beautiful. Sometimes I wish they were not as potted as they were. Like them ‘Free Ranged’ ^__^

(Am I really the only one curious about this? Or did the search pull my leg? O_o)

Arenanet, Guild Halls sounds totally awesome! I and my guild are looking forward to seeing how they will work and how to start building on them.

So now on to some ideas and questions I want to share with you. Feel free to use your imagination – go [Kitty play]!

In my mind I see the Guild Halls like separate buildings and as a gamer I can walk among them and browse the servers available guilds. Maybe if not possible due to many guilds and the size of that town would maybe be -huuge- having some sort of in-game bulletin board where one can scroll through the available guilds and their sizes. Most interesting would be to know the number of-active- gamers and not the number of members being joined to that particular guild. Maybe this would be difficult to achieve? …Naah, I believe arenanet got awesome code crunchers thumb upb

Just imagine the hall, woulnd’t it be useful with an in-game bulletin board (yes I love those boards!) where guildies could write messages to the guild about upcoming events and things not to forget etc.. It could be a limited space bulletin board that needs to be cleaned up once in a while of older entries. After all, it should be of the newest happenings like “Friday – Mission day!” or “Saturday Fractal day from 1pm – 5pm” and so on.. You get the point.

I am looking forward to the possibilities./

Unlikely. Sylvari community share each others experiences, connected through the Pale Tree.
More likely when the Pale Tree tried to stop Ceara/Scarlet from pushing further into the vision in Omadd’s machine, the experience was shared by all sylvari that are connected with the Pale Tree. Obviously the Soundless are a bit outside this, since they choose to meditate to be cut off from the sylvari community. Or so, this is how I understand it to be among the sylvari based on conversation in-game and lore-reading gw-wiki ^_^

Sidenote; if you went and spoke with the Pale Tree (pretty sure that conversation can still be activated) after Scarlet died ones character says that it comes with sad news, which the Pale Tree answers that she knows.

Thank you for the link!
To get these pieces of information to put togheter and to get ones own opinion about the occuring story – it’s absolutely fantastic! Great work!

I liked Trahearne very much. He fit into his character as a bit stiff, not too comfortable with what he’s doing but it’s his Wyld Hunt, and with the help of the hero (you) he comes to term with that Wyld Hunt and resolves to finish it.

I do not belive Trahearne will be back as a main character. His Wyld Hunt is pretty much done. What is left of it is to fight Risen in Orr mainly. But pretty much Risen in Tyria.

Mordremoth will have someone else to deal with, if it’s a new group, new characters, unexpected characters or we as gamers, that will time tell :^)

I find it very exciting and I am enjoying the story alot. I even read up on the story from GW1 and that story didn’t repeat itself as some of you seem to be afraid of will happen. I belive strongly that the writers on arena net are good at what they are doing and they will do a great job on the story!

This is for arena net: Great work! Looking forward to the future! :^)

Now, what is it that you want in a game? To minimize time, maximaze loot, minimize social contact and be a genuin prick when it comes to solving problems?

Or do you want to Maximize social contact and talk to new people and solve problems togheter, keep an event at a reasonable time though working out the mechanics toghether and getting the loot as a bonus of the effort but not being the big deal?

Since anet changed the regain traits though an easy click of button it became so much easer to retrait before a specific battle.
It is true that mesmers don’t deal alot of damage, but we have the 5 players in a dungeon for a reason.

AAAAAAnyway – I want to say: GREAT WORK on the MESMER!
Despite the buggs, and it being weak in dps, I still love how the mesmer is built – on illusions and deception. How to fool the enemy to believeing you are somewhere else. Many times my guildies have shouted out to me “Don’t stand there!” and in the next second it was one of my clones which exploded and I was safely away, watching over my fellow game mates to make sure they came to no harm by keeping nullfield ready or targeting a foe with feedback to save someone low on health.
That’s why I play the mesmer, to be of help to my friends and to have fun while playing.

Great work Arenanet! I believe it will be good. Life will find a way, so will the gamers on mesmers find a build that works well.

Reminds me of Fallout. I love fallout :^)

And I really wonder why that pipe is there and what it does ^_^;

Your thread should be called: Thumbs up Anet!, Pyreo, becasue I really believe that Arena net need some good critisim through all this qq that’s going on ^_^

And I agree with you. I just love what the story has come to. I Did also enjoy Scarlets attack on Lions Arch, and now I understand it even more after I went to her study in Dry Top. The plot thickens and I am so excited on what will happen next.

As a 99% Sylvari gamer (yes, all my lv 80’s are sylvari) I really enjoy that sylvari has this kind of part in the story. Since Sylvari cannot be corrupted and/or not be revived to undead I believe that being suseptable to a possible Mordremoth’s corruption is something good. Sylvar should not be the untouchable by everything :^)
Perhaps it’s now that sylvari is starting to grow up a little and know fear and causiousness? Excited to know more!

I want to share with you that this plot turned me into becoming alot more interested in Lore than I was before and I am reading through the wikis of both gw1 and gw2 to understand the history of guild wars world and what might come in the future.

I salute the writing team on arena net! ^_^/

Edit: I also believe that the “thin” story in the start of Living Story has been good. Because as a character living in Tyria, being new to it all none of us knew what was about to happen. It slowly built in more and more Lore into the story and making it more and more interesting by every patch that is coming. Well done!

Yes, reward was disappointing.
Remove league from WvW completely please. And let us go back to -real- fighting istead of this stressful achievement-hunting. It’s wasn’t such a great idea really to go for -offensive- achievement hunting in WvW… If anything it should be rewarded to be defensive.. But rather not at all really. Just let us enjoy a good fight.

Been there, done that. Every other game works like a charm. But when it comes to GW2…. then it all just laggs apart. I am not buying that “upgrade your computer” talk. And ISP… yes that helps with 100/100mbit/s. Again, every other game works like a charm, but GW2…
Honestly, I’m not buying it.

And then there was this about lag….

When are Arenanet going to upgrade to better servers? When are Arenanet going to fix the skill lags in WvW?

That would be grand for a great play experience and fun times. DOn’t bother with the fancy graphics in WvW, because majority of us don’t use it anyway.
Thank you in advance.

Didn’t manage to get it to work with the -diag change so no test possible from me. :^/

Location: Sweden
Provider: Telia (wifi)

It’s so easy to change – anet SHOULD make this a changable option as soon as possible.
Giving everyone the same, or as close as the same chances of enjoying the game.

If Dragon Ball arena ever would become permanent I would rather have it team built (taht is party entering togheter) rather then random built (as it is now).

Guild Wars 2 is already a game BUILT ON RANDOMNESS! And it’s so frustrating when one cannot play any kind of tactic other than; “I see you run confused over there, lets follow you until you die, then I find someone else to follow, if luck is with me that is”

And OH, you are AFK, which means my team has one less player, and the other team gets point – mmMM! Lovely..

I loath the randomness and sad to say, having these random built teams in these pvp areas are not fun at all. Wasting time to wait for players that understand that the only tactis is STAYING TOGHETER is the key to actually win at all.

No more random stuff. It’s an old panic idea.

Thank you advance

I would have loved to see a holografic screen at the moa race that follows the moas around the track to make it feel more of a racing instead of a waiting game. But that’s just me. I went there, got the achevement and was off again. With the screen I might have stayed longer and wasted more money just for fun. :^)

PvP fun with guildies. What is the main reason(s) for dividing people into different slots in the mini-PVPs that turns up around the special events? Would it be an exploit to let guildies trow fire at each other, thinking they would team up? Oh no, the horror. ;^P
Instead guarding the mini-PVP, why not make it a challange for guilds to be on either side, a choice one could make when entering wheter one wants to enter as a guild meeting another, a guild meeting people from the guild, or the usual mixed meeting any strangers for fun :^)

So, this may well not be possible to do anything about this patch. But I would be very thankful if developers at arena net would bear this in mind in the future to create more fun events, specially with guidlies since it’s fun to run with the guidlies (or at least it’s in my guild Enigma) :^)

Thank you in advance

Well, I can always lift the issue. I see your point, which I have been thinking about alot. But I do want my guildies to enjoy themselves when we are doing events.

I will however remember your words. They are very handy to have in mind. Thank you :^)

I wish there was a option on the commander badge to make it visible for guild members only.

Lately the language has become quite gruesome in WvW. People are being impolite and flaming. To be frank, it’s hard to do any kind of guild activity in WvW without being called “idiots, RPers, other swearing components I will not mention”. It’s just too sad.

Guild Wars 2 should be a game about community and how to build it with a good feeling rather than the bad ones that comes into play at times. Even pvE is getting the bad language, because if it’s getting “accepted” in WvW it just pours over to pvE.

Why a guild commander badge? This is to be able to lead the guild in WvW without others swearing and flaming us while we teach guildies new to WvW how it can be done and to have a good time.

I would be greatful for this option at the commander badge.
Thank you in advance

I would be happy if there wasn’t 3 maps that looked the same with annoying cliffs all about the place.
Prefer EB since it is less cliffs, but still challangeing with good flow.

I can somewhat agree it could be confusing with one sided conversation. On the other hand, some of us in guild uses TS. Sometimes people answer in guild chat what people in TS are saying (such as when there is no mic etc) making it a one sided converstion for everyone who’s not on TS – and that has worked fine anyway.

True, being loyal to one guild is what I would like to be. But my guild I’m in has decided to help smaller guild(s) because we want to be nice and build community. If it could be solved in some kind of way making communication easy in game that would be helpful.

I am glad that more people want to keep guild chat while changing characters. It’s strange that it has been like this for so long but not been changed. :^)
It would be nice if it could be changed, if that should not be any problems.

Thank you in advance.

I have two wishes;

1 – Guild chat will not disappear when switching character.
It’s really annoying when one switch character and misses a couple of lines of chat, and one cannot follow up on the previous chat since it all becomes a clean slate. Is it that difficult to keep chat when one is switching characters? Would be very greatful if this matter was looked into.

2 – Shared guild chat with Allies.
With the Guild Missions our guild has some allies and it would be very helpful and more social to have a shared guild chat instead of having to represent the other guild.
Just like choosing whether one wants to have party, map, whisper, emotions etc being visible in chat window, it could be the same for guild chat if one wants to participate in allied chat or not.
For example:
[Main Guild] Name of character1: Heey
[Allied 1] Name of character: What’s up!
[Main Guild] Name of character2: Good evening
Etc…

I have heard that there was something like it in GW1. Could it be possible?
Thank you in advance.

I also want to add my opinions to the Living Story;

It’s great! I enjoy the fact that there has been extra information added to the story as with the letters and showing of location. It feels more real than running blind, shouting in map chat if someone has seen anything.

Like it the way it is :^)

Thank you for improving Cursed Shore somewhat. Of course during prime time getting in enough hits is still hard and culling is still there. But as long as one is there during other times it works pretty well.

That penitent, shelter, jofast has gotten Champions and veterans is very good. It is starting to be as though as it should be. Making it a little more exciting playing the game.

One thing I miss though is the evil risen that pulls you to them. I can understand that players get annoyed that all the risen does this, but around 40% of the time it would be quite fun :^)

Remember folks, Orr should not be a nice, friendly place – it’s supposed to be evil. :^D

Thank you in advance

If you arrive early for the event as a guest, you as a player obviously are using it in some way, hence an exploit. That is how I see it.
And the dragon events shouldn’t really be about checking the timer to jump there in advance and waiting for the event/reward. That’s farming and as I understand it Anet is against farming, isn’t that right?

I suggest that the event either be account bound so that a player only can do the dragon event once with the chest as a reward. The next time there will be no chest, simple as that.
Or that a player that is guesting cannot recieve any reward for the event. That is they should only get reward for the event on their own server.
But yes, this is a very difficult matter because what is really being an exploit? SHould all the events that yields chest be treated the same way? What about regular dynamic events?
It is a matter that should be looked into. The thought was nice, but some players are just too WoW, that is farming is the -only- way in how the game should be played. Nothing wrong with farming, as long as you do it on your own server, following the limitations that it yield, such as chest drop once per dragon and diminishing drops on one spot etc.

thank you in advance

I like the dailies.
But I can agree on the “kill X” is somewhat boring and a no brainer.
But the dodgeing is really fun. You have to force yourself to think in how to make a dodge successfully.
I miss the combo attacks. Sad it was taken away just because people had trouble with it. That one is also quite fun in how to think and to encourage people to play in a group. I might add that these two things, dodges and combos works well in dungeons/fractals too.
Gathering, events and crafting is quite nice to get another view in other aspects of the game and to gain a little of somthing else.

I think I might be the only one enjoying aquatic kills. Even if it’s a “kill X” I do enjoy the underwater combat and it’s a good way to train this with a bit of a carrot.

As to say, I do want to keep the dailies, but perhaps make them a little more thought through. Dailies that can be done in different areas, both PvE, PvP/WvW and dungeons/fractals. One should be able to do dailies without really thinking about them, unless one wants to be focusing on something else.

Even if I have a good computer and fast connection, doens’t help. Still got bad culling effects. Can’t see the happenings in the environment. Just plain boring to play really..

East trap didn’t explode even if being charged with oozes.

The mechanics were interesting, but it’s no fun when it doesn’t work.

Not all, but many titels one can use in GW2, has focus from PvP/WvW. There are some from special events, yes. And a couple that’s not related at all to any type of PvP/WvW which is nice. But I would like to see more options.

Such as a titel for completing all jumping puzzles. Yes, I like to style myself Jumping Master, or as a guildie called me Jump Master Extraordinaire. ;^)
It would also be fun if one could have a titels such as World Explorer/Wild Adventurer from the Explorer tab.

I know that GW2 want to have a more PvP pointed game and I know that people enjoy their PvP-ing. But it would be nice for the silent explorers of Tyria to have their titles as well.

I leave it up to GW2 to decide the names of titels if that is prefered. It would be of great joy to have more adventure/non violent titles that one could choose to style onself with.

Thank you in advance.

(Might add, the Golden titel scares me a little. It feels like one would become a possible target for hacked account since that player could have 200g or more on character/in bank.)
