Guild Wars 2

Guild Revamp/Changes

1. would like to see Guilds become more than just a place to chat It is called Guild wars after all. Right now you cant enter sPVP with your Guild mates.
2. Add a reason for guilds to exist, like Guild Only Dungeons (this would be a huge improvement)
3. Add multiple alliances Guilds e.g like a nation of guilds, and create Raid dungeons based on this
4. Allow hover over characters (in guild roster) not online and see when lost logged in date was.
5. Allow Guilds to fight other guilds in a balanced PvP WvW style. Again its called guild wars so lets have some actual Guild Wars.
6. The existing entire guild screen format design revamped from ground up. (sux to do but is something thats needed)

Tons more, but I find the one main reason you continue to login a game after the “honeymoon” is over, is having friends and a guild that can actually do things together. Other than form a party of 5 players. I can say as a Longtime (back to the first legendary Graphic mmo Ultima Online) MMO player. Its not just new content, new gear, new maps, its the friends you make, and the things that a Guild can do together, that makes a game last. And keeps people coming back.

I have had this happen 3 days in a row now. I get my mystic coin, shows the karma jug and I click accept. And then nothing, inventory is not full, the jug is simply not there?

Has anyone had this happen to them?. Again 3 days in a row, in different zones.

Inventory is not full, like I said I get mystic coin but no jug? I submitted an in game bug report. but no high hopes there.

Titles maybe, buffs no.

Want to clarify why your against adding buffs to titles for PVE, but for adding more Titles?

As the title says I would Love to see additional (alot) titles in game.

1. Make each title have a few unique buffs that last for 30mins for easy titles, up to 12hrs for much Harder earned titles.

2. Make it PVE buffs only.

sort of like “Emissary of the Mad King” would give you an 1 hr long buff when activated to give you 10% magic find, 5% damage, 5% protection.

The harder to obtain titles would give better longer buffs. Once the buff is activated by a double check system, the timer starts. you can still use that title after the buff is done, it wont re-activate until 24hrs after. But, will allow you to where it.

3. Add Title NPC’s around Lions Arch, say 3 of them with there own set of Titles to achieve. Like a quest you would have to (as only an example) slay 1,000 Karka for a title like “Destroyer of Armour”

This could be done in a variety of fun and entertaining ways. Any suggestions would love to hear.

I just did the shark on blackgate, in Sparkfly Fen…..However, all the sharks were above ground, and green, the one tagged with the skill point was also green and on top of the rocks. I looked over to my left and in a tiny pool of water was a red shark, killed it and got the skill point completion. Pretty sure its not by design, lol. but it worked.

So to clarify this a bit-
It is intentional that if you switch to a new home server, you will temporarily stop receiving the WvW server bonuses. As for duration, it’s disabled for the rest of the week long match, and I believe for the duration of the next matchup as well. This restriction exists to discourage players from switching servers. That said, if you’ve never switched servers, and your server is far enough along in the matchup to have a bonus, and you still aren’t getting the bonus, let me know.

Never Transferred, Never have had bonus. Not from day one that I can remember. I watch my Hitpoints very close. and they never increase unless by nourishment buff or changing of gear stat.

Really honestly feels like I have been playing handicapped since launch. In all aspects of the game.

I don’t agree with this if true. They still had to do all the kitten requirements for creating said Legendary? Should a Legendary not be a Legendary. Whether or not 2 legendaries can be fused?.

This seems very….unfair. So if this is true you would have to create 2 Legendaries? and then create a 3rd legendary, in order to get the achievement. sounds rather insane and costly to the point of impossibility, in this short time frame the game has been live.

And compensation for all of us affected since day one?

I have had the same problem trying to get past level 1, 3 times on Blackgate. Not everyone is willing to suicide to start all over, and regroup, 3 times in a row. or 1 time, or 2 times.

Love the dungeon concept, the visuals are stunning the combat is stellar. But again, another instance of game breaking issues for some. Unless you have 4 really good friends willing to constantly repeat, in hopes all 5 members dont get bugged.

I am really really tired of this game “Core Mechanic” Bug! Can You Please Please Tell us something, anything; “go to hell customer”, or “yes we are working on it”, or “we have a fix and it should be implemented in the next patch”, or “we are aware of this bug and are trying to, at the very least, fix it”.

Seriously guys, its getting old not seeing some of the major game touted parts of the game you advertised, to be addressed and fixed for all! If you can not fix it it should be scrapped for ALL!

Now that you have your new content, your Holiday events, your One-Time only “Be There” or Lose content over for at least a few weeks, can we please get some love on what you advertised as part of your “Core Game” I cant wait (and constantly check after each Ninja Build) and Hover over WvW only to see nothing, and right now Blackgate is at 7% defense, and 7% robust along with the slew of other nice additions. That a lot of us Do not have, and a lot Do! This is far from a Q.Q post. Its almost an exploit by definition. Haves, Have Nots. But not because of any fault of there own. Its Not that they Don’t have exotics so no you cant play in my sandbox. come back when you do. I am surprised people are not asking “hey” do you have the stats from WvW, if not you cant play in my sandbox.

Please, really can we have an official response on what, when, and if this issue will get resolved in the near future? Please.

Had fun myself, was still tad laggy but for those able to finish not bad A-net. Had a good time. Loot at end was awesome in comparison. Love the ending, was very very cool.

-Continents.4013:
-Is there any chance that we can call this weekend a “stress test” event and then have the updated one next weekend?
+1
Unplayable event is unplayable. Please run this through next weekend, or run it again next weekend.-

As stated above this actually should be the thing your focusing on, I am glad my friends already have been playing or played GW2, and I didn’t invite any to this embarrassment. Do the right thing for your player base. I feel like this was a beta weekend event for stress test on servers!!

It would be a phenomenal step in the right direction to have the event happen again with all the same epic qualities, (minus the un-playability and broken events, npc’s) this next weekend to show you actually care and want new players and keep existing ones as well as trying to get back those who have rage quit.

1. you realize that it affected not just some of the players but all of your players.

2. It would also show that you care enough about your player base to do it right, as well as extending the invites to friends to a “try again” weekend. We need more players. I don’t think this was a good showing for the ones invited.

Wow…..So disappointing, in so many ways its hard to describe how I feel other than kinda cheated, not even sure thats the right word for it. I feel for the dev team, I really do empathize with them. However, what on this earth and there minds made them think, "hey lets have a Huge One Time Event, invite free members, have it all in one spot. Because you know we dont have any problems with the clipping and rendering in WvWvW where its a 100v100 zone, so lets have it be in Lions Arch with over 1k playersVSMobs. Whats funny (or terribly sad, or awfully pathetic), is they actually thought this would work when they haven’t even fixed WvWvW. I truly am perplexed. Is there a bet in the office at A-Net that they hope this game fails in epic and historical ways. A-Net you have the framework for a great game, an AMAZING game, yet you still insist on this? why? I dont get it.

Hey,
I just received a pm I´d like to forward to you guys via copy/paste:
“I’m sorry that you are still affected by this issue. While I don’t directly work on the issue, it is something that I escalated to our group that works on WvW. This issue is among the team’s other high priority issues to resolve, there is not an estimated time on fix yet.”
by Tyler Bearce
Thank you for the update, Tyler.

This is Not a WvWvW issue, Why would the WvW team be working alone on this? I honestly cant believe this is still not fixed. Its an entire “Core” feature of the game Broken. Not WvW alone? Put the whole freaking A-Net team on it, this is ridiculous to still have this since launch as it stands as a basic exploit for those that have, and those that Dont. To simply state that its a WvW among others High Priority issue(s), is once again a slap in the face not to just your players , but I would be embarrassed to even write such an awful excuse as to why this is still not fixed as well as, a Number 1 priority for the entire Team! Not just wvw team, as this effects all of us outside wvw. And in WvW cripples those that don’t have. My head spins at how insane this response is. And the fact it was PMed to one player and not to the thread. Very, very appalling. I so want to love this game, why are you forcing us to react, by your constant absence of information.

Some Info from a Dev would be most appreciated. Last word was over a month ago? Come on, that’s atrocious.
Is it in the patch for this week? If not Say so. If it is Say so. Say Something!!!!!!

Never transferred, never received buffs. Where are you guys at on fixing this? Or by absence of a response all we can assume is you are not any where near fixing this or giving it priority. Yet, you announce this as a “Core” feature of the game. So is it not a “Core” failure for those of us never receiving this feature. And as I have stated before, who knows how much has been lost due to this “core” feature so highly announced by your team, that does not work for so many. Really Disappointing.

I personally got stuck on this quest for a long while. Until I got so frustrated I decided to scratch the Tank aka worthless, and scratch the Mortar aka worthless, and just went straight out on a killing giant spree. Killed 6 Giants manually (regular combat) and this forwarded the mission.

GL Everyone!!

I am a paying customer, meaning since launch, I have purchased more (a lot) than any standard sub fee game (TSW, WoW, etc…) since launch.

And I stumbled upon a thread about stat bonuses not applying to some players, from hard week long fights in WvWvW. Well I have found out I am one of the players not receiving the bonuses.

Server: BlackGate (never transferred) Played 99% on one toon, Norn Warrior.

I always wondered why my Health Pool “HP” never changed with the stat bonuses from WvWvW. Now I know. Is this not a “Core” breaking mechanic? Is this not an exploit for those that have and those that should? I have spent (a lot) money, far more than a sub-fee monthly game, every month since launch, to endure broken dungeons, skill challenges, events, the list is long. However, this bug is extremely game breaking due to the impact of what “may” have been missed; extra resources, extra kills, extra glory, extra karma, possibility of rares, etc…

Who knows what I have missed, is the point. And Why? I have always stood by A-net, but there comes a time when you say why? Severe lack of customer support is rather appalling, Game breaking “core” issues, and generally never a response from a dev except, were aware, or do this and this, and all seems to be of no avail on the serious bugs. We get one sentence long responses from Devs on bugs that are still here from launch. When do we say why? Why should we spend money? Why should we tolerate.

I have tolerated since launch, and pre-launch. I realize the fanboys will simply say “Move On” if you dont like it. However, this isn’t because I dont like the game, I rather enjoy the game, its about a standard of practice? Its about holding people accountable for money spent. I am not seeing the hardcore bugs being fixed. I am seeing items that effect there gem store fixed, but not the ones that keep a player base past the 3 month mark. I am a retired businessman and learned a long time ago, that a pat on the back, and a “job well done”, sometimes goes farther than more coin in there purse, and solid customer service are the backbone of a good business. When you compromise your players for business, you lose players, just like you would employees and/or customers. Point given-fixing dye rate drops. This was obviously a “business decision” because it impacted possible sales on your Gem Store. However, your slapping your customers in the face when they see a fix, that doesn’t address them personally, such as broken story-lines. Or in my case a Core mechanic of the game completely useless for me. I hope you come out of this business model, and realize players should come first, and, as of now, the players dont “feel” they are as a whole. If you put the players first and foremost, all else follows.

I use a ASUS-ROG Laptop. So it has the best (as of this writing) Vid card for a laptop on the market gtx670 (nvidia) with 3mb Vram and Win7 64bit with 16mb ram with a partitioned hardrive, wont go into explanation for that, to tired, lol. I run on High settings and get 30-60fps depending on situation.

I rarely ever read the forums, let alone actually create a topic. However I felt on overwhelming need to say a few things. I rarely read the forums, as stated above, because usually it depresses me and takes away from my experience from the game. What I mean is generally speaking most topics are, “I Want”, “Please Don’t take my shiny”, “Please add more free stuff”, “You guys (A-net) aren’t doing this right or that right”. This is generally been my experience, when I am just looking for a quick answer to a question I invariably get pulled into reading the majority of the above.

That being said, I wanted to state that A-net did not have to extend the Halloween achievement for “the party” thus giving you a free hat, and the final title of Emissary to the Mad King. They even stated at one point that due to scheduling this would not happen. And wow tons of sometimes harsh topics regarding this, and tons of comments about how they should.

Well they did, but I haven’t seen but maybe a tiny fraction saying a word about it. The Northeast of America was hit with an historical nature blast, that cost untold damage physically, mentally, monetarily. And I hope the people affected by this are doing everything they can to stay safe and protected and families are together.

Point to all this? I, for one, just wanted to say thank you, and a huge hug for doing what you have done for the sake of your players, when you didn’t have to. So to A-Net, there Staff, from the President down to the cleaning crew, You all are the best, and some of the finest people in this industry. Thank You!

that’s not a disability, that’s because you haven’t trained your brain to calculate your movements just meditate and exercise, and that will improve your motor function. it will help you i had the same problem as you and over time doing exercises im less clumsy and my perception doubled try it out it works.

I’m sorry but how on earth could you possibly know what form of disability he/she has, and also assume you ’KNOW" how to fix it. I never troll a post but I am also disabled, and this uninformed response to the OP is utterly astounding in its ignorance towards the disabled.

No you CAN NOT preview an item in Tradepost. This to me is agreeably ridiculous. Only reason I can think of is it would stop you from buying gear that’s ugly, but may have the stats you want. Then would force you to find another piece of gear you like and again force you to use a Transmutation stone where you can only find where……..GEM Store…..or get lucky and get from a locked chest, which you need to get a key from the………GEM Store.
I believe this to be the reason behind them not allowing preview of items in TradePost. I hope I am wrong, but what other reason would there be? If its changed/fixed I will be very surprised, but very happily retract my conspiracy theory,

TotalLamer.2470:

I’m pretty sure it just means you can’t transmute the armor while you’re wearing it. You’ll need to unequip it, transmute, and then re-equip.

I hope your right, I always took off my armor and inventoried it prior to transmuting. I never bothered trying to transmute while equipped, figured that didn’t work anyway.

Other than what I stated above, Great Work on fixing a large amount of issues in this recent build. Great Work!

I am not sure why you decided to take away item transmutation on already equipped armor? What was the reason behind this decision? I love the armor I am currently wearing? And Transmute it quite often when upgrading to keep the overall look I like?

Doesn’t this kinda take away the whole point of transmuting armor? The only reason I can see, is to force a gold sink. Or please tell me why if not for that reason?

My VERY SMALL Guild in BlackGate “Prometheus Evictorious” [PRME] , upgraded to Architecture 2 to get to the start of Guild labeled armor and weapons. It was purchased, qued, finished, but still shows us at level 1? 1,000 pts for a small guild is alot to lose. can u please let me know if this can be fixed? Thank you for the best MMO in a VERY long time.

Evictorious Matadori – Blackgate

EDIT: Our Guild after last patch did reflect the proper influence and upgrades. TYVM to all of the team behind GW2 and cheers to Cameron for keeping us alive with information, so we feel we are being heard and appreciated. Its a large step in the right direction for keeping players…..PLAYING!!
