Guild Wars 2

Can get to char select, then white screen ….

Most likely, pvp progress will be rolled back aswell… dont see how it couldn’t be rolled back, .. everything is being rolled back.
You did it once, you can do it again… just fight well and stomp hard

Soon means soon… If you’ve played long, you know they won’t give a time.. that would just be stupid on thier part

I have been advocating that Anet needs a thumbs up with the shut down & fix … no one needs any kind of compensation..
What bothers me tho, is to think that they aren’t just rolling back.. they are rolling back and trying to fix the patch that caused the problem in order to get the skins back up in the gemstore.
I know that its thier way of revenue (and fine with that) but let us play while you fix.
I will never know the answers I seek

My apologies to you back… not for anything I have done, but that this happened.
Please speak to “whoever” and inform them that “the forums” isnt the place to air out laundry.

Henrik…. I totally agree with talking to you first, rather then create a scene. No one wants bad light shed. Again I will state that I didnt want to post this thread. Your officer was poking a sleeping bear, so to speak.
Not only is that person shining a bad light on [AB] in game, they are the one that wanted this posted onto the forums.
Thier “all mighty” attitude said and I quote “you will get kitten on, because I am right”.
You also state that “Yes it is possible that people may pocket the money” …..
Isn’t that against your guilds AB “rules”?
With rule breaking, going against what you have tought, and shedding unnessesary bad light and ill will towards you guild…. this is who you want to represent you?

I hope this thread dies… and quickly. It was never my intent, and refrained from pointing the finger. I just hope that your people… I cant say “your people” because others I had talked to seemed like nice people, they were just caught up in backing up a guildy in the wrong situation…… I hope that the certain individual thinks of the guild before himself sometime.
People like that will ultimately in the end, wreck it for all.

Henrik… very well said.
I will start off by answering your questions.
1. Yes, I have anchored maps for your guild. As a pug, and a guildy.
2. Yes I have, and will continue to donate.
3. ?? Yes ?? everyone should have consideration for others, regardless of loot
4. I “ONLY” posted on the forum after several hours of being “dared” too by someone in your guild.

I am not judging you on your AB fundraiser, .. In fact, I think this is how the AB MM should be run (which I told your officer). That person was spamming in /map for volunteers to anchor. I spoke to a pug that ended up anchoring for AB. They were not compensated at all, even after asking (they anchored the entire time). Is this AB policy?
Are they acting on your behalf?

Wondering if this was the norm, and wanting to see for myself, I joined the guild. I ran as an achor for the next run. After the run, I recieved no mail, so I spoke up. After 10 mins of listening to his banter of “I sent you gold”, blah blah, excuse excuse… he did end up mailing me 6g. It was a one sided convo on his part… all I asked was, “no tips”?

After recieving the 6g (O.o) I asked one of the pug anchors he had /map spammed for if they received any compensation. They had not recieved any. Shouldn’t everyone have consideration for others, like you speak of?

The whole run was littered with quotes of “ENFORCED LOBBY” and “kick-happy comms” in order for the pugs running to “Tip the commander” which was also spammed alot through the run.
Tipping IS voluntary, but also felt mandatoy (I received many messages from ppl as an anchor for AB). Maybe you dont run groups like this, but it does reflect bad on your behalf, your guild, when someone from the guild does.

Like the people that have responded to this thread, that ARENT in your guild… it left a bad taste in my mouth, and I left the guild. After leaving, I stated that I think everyone envolved in anchoring/commanding should get a split share of the tips..
Like in the Restraunt scenario… the waitresses share tips, along with everone participating. The Restraunt doesnt use tips as revenue.
The waitress gets thier share (what they earned) that night, not when the restraunt sees fit to pay. And it seems like your manager is dipping into the till, at the cost of anyone he can.

Nothing was ever explained prior to the run.
I do understand what your doing.. but the person speaking on your behalf, does not shed a good light on you, or your guild.

Again, I do think that an anchored map system is the way AB MM should be ran, I just hope that you surround yourself with trustworthy people that will build your guild up, not drag it down… over something as little as 6g. omfg!!?!?! (which I sent it back to him, I dont want any part of being involved with AB.

As a part of a BIG guild, I know how it is, and I am sorry you have/had to deal with this non sense.

Yomikoko… I never threatened you, and only “called you names” to ask you to quit messaging.
You are correct in that you never explained the rules before I joined. I wanted to “help” not get paid. In fact, I sent you your “6g” back… The rules are easy to follow. My problem with the run was that you weren’t even going to send me 6g because you thought I was a “volunteering pug” as you stated.
“I already sent it”, “you didnt get”…..
It is 6g?!?!? … omg, its NOTHING!!

QQ on the forum about YOUR guild… was his idea.

A better sujestion would to be block them… correct?
With the 3 people saying the same thing with contacting Anet… one could assume that they are in the guild in question… which was not mentioned.
You are CORRECT!!! this does not need to be a thread.
Was not my idea…

To KRNelson:
Like I said in game… you dont know the whole story, just the twisted one.
Sorry he is misleading you

Blacksarevok…. I was messaged for hours in game. He “knew” he was right and wanted me to make a post to get others opinions, to prove he was correct….
Thats why the thread

Like the people giving thier opinions here, I found out that that guild was not for me. The actions of some could give the guild a bad name, or a bad taste to those thinking about joining.
I have no rage against the comms, or people in your guild… just with one individual in the guild, but thats all it takes.
When said person, messages me for hours about making a thread, I made one hoping he would stop! He hasnt, and is FULL of this rage you speak of.
One bad apple can ruin the bunch

Blacksarevok …. I totally agree.

WOW, lmao!!!!! if anyone wants to know what guild it is/was … just look up ^ the names.
Cant you handle people giving thier opinions?
You wanted to know others opinions and begged me to make a post… I did.
I am not upset at all… all good.
Just trying to get others opinions is all

Agreed. They lost me…
How do you think the “tip” system should be?
Lets say you and 5 friends run and “anchor” diff maps in AB, one person gets all the tips sent to them…
Should said tip gatherer keep, share, split, or give a small “flat rate”?

ok… I deleted the post that named the Guild… that was not my intent.

My only question is that in this AB multi map run, is it fair for the commander to keep the tips, instead of splitting it with the anchors…
In this instance, when players tip, it is assumed that it would be split.
Should we have to ask?
I have another guild, but want ppl to think and question the motives behind some peoples actions.
Find a guild that you enjoy.
Best wishes to all

Thank you Vayne… i bailed as soon as I heard this. Not my cup of tea either.
Actually hoping alot will see this and post.
Just seems like a even split would be best, but as you pointed out, no way to really tell

I, for a brief moment, joined a guild. This guild ran AB multi maps. They would anchor the maps for ppl and asked for ppl to tip. (nothing wrong so far).
The commander would gather all the tips, and put it into the bank. He would then give his anchors a flat rate (small flat rate)…. reguardless of the amount he gathered.

He claims that the tips will pay for future runs, letting him give this “flat rate” in the future. No one knows how much he was tipped. (very shady).
If the map fails, the anchor of said map, doesn’t get this “flat rate”.

Does this seem right? Fair?
My first reaction was that everyone anchoring should get an egual share.
Please let us know your opinion on this, because the (very shady) comm will read this later.
Thanks all!

So I think what happened was that with the legendary packback I needed AR. I think I put a +7 vers infusion over my +5 "moto (blue) infusion.
My moto is gone …..
I know it replaces (now)… but is there a place you can get a replacement?
Ive done all achieves and since given through achievements, I was hoping there was

lawl…
I already got this wrong,.. Boon duration is increade 20% while welding a staff, staff racharge rate is reduced 10%.
The boon duration of shouts and symbols arent effected, and it SHOULD.
Cgeck for yourself…
BUG!
Fix in patch.

On my guardian, I noticed on the elite skill, BOON DURATION was effected by zones. It scaled with the level of map recom.
It shouldn’t be like this, correct? I call… BUG!
On the same topic however, a GUARDIAN trait states .. 20% boon duration. Staff skills recharge rate 20% faster.
Staff skills are reduced 20%, but the boon duration is not effected… CHECK IT OUT… and tell me if Im wrong….

It doesnt give an extra duration… Ive had guild, friends, and of course myself check multiple times.

Maybe Im missing something but in the trait line “honor” the middle column, “honorable staff” is bugged.
“Boon duration is increased 20% while weilding a staff. Staff recharge rate is reduced 20%”
The boon duration doesnt show on hero panel nor do shouts seem to be effected.

Maybe someone can shed light on this for me…
With how everyone seems to think (and I agree with) that the guardian/DH is dead, all the little help we can get is going to be worth the effort.

Finally!!! an answer that makes sense..
TY!

First post… so be kind >:)
Maybe someone can clearify this for me, Im new to the Rev.
Some say with proper skill cycling you can keep fury up 100%, and with many builds you can trait into “Rolling Mists” (Critical-hit chance has increased effectiveness when you are under the effect of fury. Effectiveness Increased: 100%) thus rendering Precision moot.
Many still say Zerker armor FTW! … but why?
Wouldnt Valkrie be a better option? Giving you the same Power, same Ferocity (crit dam), and giving you a health chunk of hp.
Is there something Im not seeing?
Im sure this topic has been brought up before.. but I need to know…. why?!?!
Again, Im just starting to play the Rev
This would be for pvp,pve,wvw.. whatever.. its more about the mechanics

Let me start off by saying …" Hey all, long time listener, first time caller"
I’ve been playing since launch (minus a 6-9 month leave) and have been a PvE pro. Told myself, which I hear alot from others too, once i get my legendary I’ll start to WvW.
That turned into : after I get my second…..
Since WvW season 1 started, I cant go back to PvE. I wont let it turn into: once i get my third.
I do alright with my PvE builds and gear, but it seems like I get stomped when my buddies aren’t around. I’ve read and read but cant find any really good builds or they leave out gear and/or weapons.

I would appreciate any info and/or links you can provide
Right know I have:
GEAR Zerk set scholar runes, Soldier set trav runes, can make celest set
WEAPONS twilight,juggernaut, all zerk ascended weapons
ASESSORIES zerk soldier celest ascended sets
(believe me, I’m not bragging …….I got no room to brag in WvW)

What I want to do….??? Not die so freakin much lol
