Guild Wars 2

Hi Semik and Blitzfreak!

Please shoot me a mail in game and I’d be more than happy to invite you guys!!

Hi there Abarax!

We definitely might be the guild for you.

We have many players who run all tiers of fractals, of which we are currently deciding upon a day to run guild fractals & teaching sessions regularly, as well as people running their dailies and such every day.

We will also be working on gearing for raids in the very near future.

We are only two weeks old but doing really well so far and have all sorts of great plans for our guild.

Feel free to give us a try and see if we are for you!

Bumperinoooooo!

Seconding [GOAT]. Loving it here so far.
Come join the herd!

I was looking for exactly the same criteria as you were (no reqs, discord, active), and so far (other than my pesky Aussie timezone, which is on me) [GOAT] seemed to tick all the boxes.

I need a new home and it’s cold outside.
Can I come in?

Hi there!

I’m looking for a casual guild with no representation reqs to try out.

I am currently in a guild with old friends that I have no intention of leaving.
However, I often find myself online alone a lot due to my timezone and work commitments.

Looking for a guild that is active around 12pm UTC/8am EST/10pm AEST onwards.

Been playing for over 3 years on and off.
I mostly focus on PvE, especially fractals.
I love to help, teach and talk.

Just looking for something structured but mostly casual, as I am a shift worker and a student so my hours and activity fluctuate.

Look forward to hearing about what’s out there!

Hi.

Any advice on the cause of and/or improving loading screen times?
My loading screen are taking upwards of 45-60 seconds.
It is excruciating and it seems to be getting worse.
Before anyone asks, I run GW2 on my SSD.
My computer is pretty kitten decent.
Intel i7, 8GB RAM, Nvidia 960M, Win 10 64bit.
Is it an internet related problem or otherwise?

Thanks.

This just happened to my partner and I.
We were on the Frozen Out section of our story.
We entered the cave with Rox and Braham.
Completed past the wolf attack.
Delved further into the cave.
Then the NPCs just stopped.
And nothing happened after that.
The NPCs wouldn’t respond.
We couldn’t go further into the cave.
Had to restart the instance.

I completely and utterly agree.

slamb.4781:

More Lag, More Salt, More gem store crap

Less care and effort from Anet.

Speaking of salt….

@OP To ask what has changed in years is a bit ridiculous to ask someone to summarise.
But if I had to do it in one word: Expansion.
You’d be best off just checking it out for yourself, to answer everything on forums would be difficult and you’d get nothing but subjective answers.
Expansion is 50% off so….

On a related note, I just came back from a 12month break and I’ve yet to be bored or disappointed so far.

joneirikb.7506:

+1 to this.

And/or the option to decide for yourself what is considered “junk”, I’d love to check that for minor runes/sigils.

A feature like this would be great. A new options menu where you could classify certain items as junk or other rankings or something. Like classifying collection items as junk too, once you have unlocked it.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

My dream. A mastery system that gives you access to a merchant. This merchant sells nothing, it only buys, and is a UI panel to you (not something that appears in game that others can see). With this mastery line merchant you can vendor stuff at any time and anywhere. You can sell all your junk and minors to it whenever you want and if it has a button to sell all minors at once, even better.

I dream of a future where this beautiful feature is a reality.

Is it possible at all to add an option that allows you to count Minor Runes as junk to sell all at once?
This is mostly out of sheer laziness, but after a single lab run or dungeon run or world boss train, your inventory becomes riddled with them.
They are pretty much never, ever used, essentially junk.
Apologies if already suggested and rejected.

And before anyone says anything:
- Yes I know this is lazy
- Yes I know this is unnecessary
- Yes I know it isn’t that difficult to sell them at a merchant
- Yes I know this may not be possible
- Yes I know there are more important things to focus on

But overall, there is no harm in suggesting.

Thanks!

ShortnCurly.9018:

Hello everyone,
Wow 1 post 4 people, that’s a recruiting gold mine

Although we don’t do a great deal of recruiting we like to offer a home to like minded players and also to other OCX players.

A great deal of us are also on Dragonbrand with about half of our players from Aus/NZ and the other from Southern Asia.

Where we may suit you is our players also tend to have erratic playing times. With of course peak times having more, why just today I hopped online after lunch and there was about 40 people on, not doing much just causal chatting and chilling.

Being a medium sized guild you will be able to find many people to join in all game types, PVE, PvP, and WvW, with a large part of our group Doing fractals and raids.
We have a strong raid teaching program that you could try when your ready.

Haha, hardcore army, we are ALL laid back and take nothing seriously, I’ve been with these guys for quite some time now and feel very lucky to have found a ‘rare’ fun guild.

We are called Undiscovvered Point of Interest, POI, you can have look at our website, at www.upoi.xyz which shows a certain disdain for formality

Also, I just posted a reddit guild post which has more info, but I can’t link it for some reason, want to find it???? /r/Guildrecruitment it’s the 4th post, Casual OCX PVE guild, blah Di blah.

That’s long enough I guess, if interested please message me in game or here, both will work.
ShortnCurly.9018

You guys sound great!
Server, timezone, size, mindset etc all sound like what we are after.
Off to bed at the moment but I’ll be sure to get into contact with you ASAP tomorrow.
Thank you for replying.

Savvon.3718:

You two sound exactly like me and another who are looking for the exact same thing.

We too are looking for a guild like you describe, have erratic hours and just came back (buying HoT tomorrow).

If you could, could you PM me when you find a guild and we will tag along?

Absolutely! I’ll let you know where we end up.

Hi there. Just wondering what server you are mainly based on.

Hi there,

My partner and I are in the market for a new home.
We’ve just returned from a 12 month break, due to rl commitments.

We are laid-back weirdos but we actively participate in all content – PvE, PvP, WvW etc.

We are pretty new to raiding and some HoT content, so we are looking for an active guild that participates in all this content, but is willing to help us with some of the newer stuff (particularly me, as I quit before my partner and before HoT so I feel like a baby player again).

We are looking for a home and for friends, not a serious, hardcore army.
Semi serious, semi casual would be utterly perf.

Server: Dragonbrand
Timezones: Aus & UK, but we really don’t care about TZ, as we have erratic hours

So yeah. This feels like an advertisement in the personals section of the newspaper.

If anyone is interested in two nublet recruits, or perhaps knows a guild that might suit us, please let me know!

tl;dr It’s cold outside, please give us a home

Thanks!

The double HP/allow crits would work on most of the bosses (although it doesn’t really make them any more challenging, so I don’t understand the point).
But for Teq, which was already difficult enough to do in the time constraints unless you were in a mega full map, making the event longer will make it near impossible. Especially for the very very low chance at a semi decent reward.
It was fine how it was.

Teq is probably the one boss that didn’t need it.
All the others were easy, although increase the HP doesn’t make them any harder, just longer tbh.
I am aware there is no crits atm, but it was already long enough, Teq did not need an HP increase.

Lian Olsam.9541:

omg if someone told me it was a gambling I NEVER GO TO THIS NPC but no one told me, i see NO WARNING , in this 3 years i see no GAMBILG IN THIS GAME but i see something u will lose something than you wil gain agan so i was thinking this was the same, it is so hard for u understand it? is so hard understand no all the ppl of the world is like you?

If you didn’t know it was gambling, why did you spend 1000 Globs without knowing what it was for? Seems pretty stupid to hand over all those mats and gold without knowing why or what for, lol. Which makes me think you DID know what it was for and are just kitteny that you lost out.

Amaris.9135:

Gomssi.7246:

Eventually, Anet will have to reduce the price to -20 dollars (PAY to VETERAN PLAYERS ONLY) + character slots + some amount of gems + some bank tab/crafting bank/character bag slots + a separate copy of CORE, then charge new players 100 dollars for Core, and 50 for HoT.

Then this will stop, I deleted my wall text earlier because I know someone will get bottom-hurt and start name calling. Thank you all for complaining and keep it going, because I really want more free stuff that I didn’t ask for.. but hey, free is good

No, I’m pretty sure most people would be happy if they just dropped the price to 20 dollars for people who own the game already. They don’t even need to give a character slot imo. And keep the 50 dollars bundle for newcomers.

They’re just talking bullkitten in the community address. They’re saying HoT isn’t stand-alone, not like the campaigns of the previous game (Prophecies/Factions/Nightfall) were. It’s like Eye of the North, which they called an expansion. Well guess what, those campaigns cost the same each time, which was about 40ish (?) at launch, because they were stand-alone. Eye of the North however, was way less, 20 dollars, just because you already needed one of the previous campaigns before you could play this one. There were packs out there in which you could a campaign + EotN. Those cost more, because it included ‘base’ + ‘expansion’.

50 dollars for a half of the maguuma jungle and some extra story quests is not worth the price of a full game at all. Going to compare to EotN again… We got a whole bunch of extra maps, 18 dungeons, heaps of skills, extra heroes,… for 20 dollars.

This. This is exactly my issues.

I didn’t want any freebies or refund.
I want a game worth $50.
Based on what they have shown us lately, there does not seem to be enough content to justify the price.
I would happily pay $50 if you can show me it’s worth it.
But at this stage, we don’t even have a release window, let alone a good idea of content, other than a few main features.
I’d be paying double what I paid for the full game, for less than half the content.

Nor does it make sense to charge people, who already own the core game, full price when this is not a standalone game. I still stand by the point that there should be a full price for new players to GW2 completely, and an upgrade to the core game for those of us who already own.

But thanks for addressing some of the issues, I guess.

AlexanderFalkor.4765:

sighs all this for a game for the love of the gods above you all are taking this way too far

Regardless of whether this is a game or not, people have sunk time and money into it. It doesn’t matter how much, but people are feeling disrespected and deceived. Just because you may not value your money in that way, doesn’t mean you can judge other people’s reactions.
They have a right to be displeased in a product that they have paid money for and intend to pay more money for. If this was a F2P game, then who cares. But this is a B2P, with real money involved. You wouldn’t want to be ripped off in a real store with your own money, this is no different.
Even though this is a game, it is also a business. It is the consumers that keep a business afloat.
Yes, some people have been a little extreme and overreacted. But overall, I have found most people have expressed a reasonable displeasure in a mature and well constructed way.

The main issues here are either:
1) People think they are paying $50 and are having to pay to get the base game again, which they have already bought. This is an expansion, not a new game or a sequel. Or;
2) People do not believe that an expansion, which is offering limited content (guild halls, one new area, one new class are the only main features) is worth $50.

People are not expecting it to be free or expecting it to be given to them or anything like that. We aren’t after freebies or anything like that. We just want value for our money and a reasonable price, or at the very least, some explanation and acknowledgement. I mean, they have released a price and pre-purchase before they have even announced a release date.
It is also not just about it being a fair price for what it involves and it is also outrage at the lack of communication, the sly act of changing the FAQs and that they seem to be ignoring their loyal community. It’s poor management overall.

Please, Anet, offer this game as an upgrade for those who have already purchased the base game. If this is what you are planning to do already, then say so. Say anything. It’s about time you did.

Reposting until we get some official word from Anet:

I got through the first few pages before I got all TL;DR.
No doubt my reply will be lost amongst the pages but I still want to get on my soapbox.
Charging your loyal old players full price for them to continue playing the game they have supported and funded over the past few years is wrong.

‘We included the core game as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to get into it.’ So you are giving new people a bonus, but not the people who funded the expansion? Bit of a slap in the face. Why should new players receive a bonus and your current players receive nothing but a forced decision to pay to continue playing the game they love?
I’ve been a bit bored of GW2 lately but I couldn’t wait for the expansion.
However after seeing the price, I am quite disappointed. Do you realise that a great portion of your player base is children and university students?

Yes, it isn’t a monumental amount to pay, but it is too high for those who have already forked out for the game. And to those who will say ‘at least it isn’t a sub game’, that is irrelevant to GW, no point in comparing unrelated games and their own payment systems. If it was a completely new game, then yes. But this is essentially just a DLC pack, with no benefits whatsoever. You are charging people $50 when it is not a new game for them, and there is not $50 worth of new content.

To those saying people are being crybabies or ‘If you don’t want to pay, don’t buy it’, we aren’t asking for it to be free. Just not the ridiculous price it is. There are times when the full game didn’t even cost that much (yes, I get they were sales) but we aren’t wanting to buy a whole new game and I don’t believe we should be forced to. We are either paying for 80% of a game we already have, or paying $50 for 20% extra content and no other benefits (rough figures ofc, just an example).

I honestly believe that the expansion should be purchasable as an upgrade for people with the existing GW2 game. I’m no economist or anything, but perhaps something around $20 to $30 dollars would be acceptable. With the size of your current player base, and the influx of new players that usually occurs during an expansion or upgrade, as well as the likely increase in gem purchases and such, I am sure you will still make a decent amount of money.
I also found it amusing that you have released a price, but not a release date or even a release window. Priorities, am I right?

After more than 80 pages in 48hrs, I think it is pretty evident that this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. I think it is time that an official comment on the matter is made by a member of ArenaNet. Not a comment in the middle of this thread, but an official response or even an acknowledgement. Unless I have already missed one, in which case, link plox.

If the price remains as such, along with the poor communication, I think you will see quite a few loyal players leave. It’s not a threat, just a statement.
I know I am now hesitant to stay, which means nothing, I am just a nobody, but it’s just an example.

If you got this far through my post, thank you and purple monkey dishwasher.

RDarken.2495:

FYI GW2 is not F2P, it is B2P. You would have to spend money on these expansions in order to take advantage of them, no matter what.

No one wants it for free. Everyone was/is prepared to pay money for the expansion.
Just not the ridiculous price it is. There are times when the full game didn’t even cost that much but we aren’t wanting to buy a whole new game and I don’t believe we should be forced to. We are either paying for 80% of a game we already have, or paying $50 for 20% extra content (rough figures ofc, just an example).

Like someone else said:
New players are paying $50 for A + B
Old players are paying $50 for B, when we have already paid for A.

We are asking the game be purchasable as an upgrade to those with the base game.
Not having to fork out more than what we paid for the original game, to get a pack with the original game and the expansion, when we already have the original game.

I have no issue in benefiting new players to bring in fresh blood, but don’t screw over your old ones. You will lose more than you will gain.

My Norn Necro, Asphodel

Can we please get rid of this? It is stupid.
It makes taxi-ing a godkitten ordeal when trying to find a half decent Teq map or SW map and I see no serious reason as to why this is needed.

Edit: It’s been about 15-20mins now and I still can’t join a party. I only joined 2-3 parties, when trying to find a decent map.

Edit #2: Been nearly 30mins now. At least give a time when your ‘ban’ on joining groups will be lifted. Don’t say ‘Please wait a moment’.

Edit #3: So after all this time, it was finally lifted. I joined one taxi. And now I can’t join again. Seriously.

This really needs to be revised. So many events and dungeons wasted waiting for this. And for what? Cause I joined more than one group? It is hard to find a decent map on first shot.

#endrant

Donari.5237:

Where does it say it goes for a week? It just says starting April 28 and going for a limited time. I’ve seen people sure it’s for two days or it’s for today only, and you’re the first that’s said a week. I understand why you would assume that, as builds with new BL weapons do tend to go for weeks, but I’d love to see any official ANet comment from whatever source (forums, news page blogs, Twitter/Facebook) that has said we have a week to try for the portal.

‘Expansion Beta Loot Drops
Mordremoth is stirring, and the nearby areas of Dry Top and the Silverwastes are feeling the effect. All events and creature drops in this area now have a small chance to drop a Portal to the Heart of Maguuma item that will qualify the player’s account for an upcoming Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ closed beta test. These drops will continue for a week or longer to collect a strong player base for the test.’

From the patch notes. ijs.
Doesn’t really get much more official than that.

My mes, Jade Lauffeuer

The thing people aren’t getting is that it isn’t RELATED TO REAL PLANES OR PLANE CRASHES.
It’s about being a kid and running around pretending to be a plane.
Did none of you have a childhood?
Y’all jaded as kitten.

Except nobody is making fun of the Germanwings crash.

Y’all getting way too serious.
Lighten up.

Jesus.

Everyone needs to lightened the frack up.

I loved the April Fool’s joke.
But everyone is walking around like Anet punched their grandmother.

Can’t do anything these days without someone jumping on their soapbox.

RIP fun.

On a similiar note, Anet, please remove pistols and rifles from game. People are killed with those everyday and I find it highly insensitive.

Bumpies for Summer.

See original post for all the info.
Come be a part of this awesome guild!
Great events, awesome team work, lots of fun in TS.

Hi all,

Just wondering if people can list a few active casual PVE guilds?
Mostly IOJ but can be any.
NA too.

Just wanting to get an idea of what’s out there.

Thanks.

My Sylvari Mesmer, Jade.

My mesmer, Jade Lauffeuer. She’s a babe.

Are you kidding?

Logan has got to be my favourite character. I think his character has a lot of depth, particularly concerning the Queen.

Plus I find him a little attractive for a fictional character :x

Yeah…..

Cavalieri is a great last name. Also Casanova as inspiration is also a wonderful choice and your thief seems somewhat Robin Hood-esque. And another +1 for being a fellow human thief.
Overall, 9/10. Loved the backstory.

My name is Melody Lauffeuer. A beautiful blonde deadly human thief (so everything I am not).
Lauffeuer means ‘wildfire’ in German. Chosen by my partner. A surname that all our characters share. We see wildfire as initially devastating and destructive, however, it paves the way for new life and growth.

Majority of my characters are human. Other names being Ruby, Ivy & Anya.
