Guild Wars 2

Today I have been constantly kicked due to server issues, see attached screenshot. This happens constantly about once a week and is annoying, I haven’t been able to get on and play for over 2 hours now.

Yeah, I actually can’t believe it’s not available. We really need it, and fast.

Please Bring Them Back (I miss mine)

Is this likely to be increased from 500?

Are these going to make a return?

Is there any further information on whether or not there will be Guild Halls. If so, any ideas on time frame. Guild Halls were a great tool in GW1 for meetings and general chat, we could have 20 members all in the one place talking about things. I understand that we now have voice chat, or we could start a separate guild for member/officer meetings, go to remote parts of the world map etc. but it’s not the same as having a guild “home base”. Members that didn’t come from GW1 don’t really understand the attraction, but guilds are the mainstay of this game and we miss our halls.

We have noticed a steady drop off in the population of the racial towns – Div. Reach, Rata, Citadel etc., I myself have been in these areas and not seen a single person. So, to encourage population return to these areas why not offer bonuses to players that return to their racial town. Perhaps a 10% reduction in crafting materials and repair costs, increased size of the amount in the axe/sickle/pick bundles if they’re purchased in your home racial town? This may also help with the crowding in LA at times.

Early on in the game the trove and cave were independent of each other, where the trove had default access to all members and we could select the chosen rank(s) for access to the cave (and stash). These two areas of the guild bank now appear to be linked, so the access to the Trove is determined by the access to the Cave. Can these please be made independent of each other again as we linked the various access levels to member rank, so there was more of a reward in promotion. As members are promoted through they gain greater access to the bank, which gives access to better items for these members.

Would it be possible to make an option to have this display in the chat box at login, similarly to how it worked in GW1. This would ensure that important announcements aren’t missed and also make communicating easier. It would also be handy to allow this to display in the chat box of members that aren’t representing us at the time. This could be done via a tick-box when posting the message in the guild panel, where we could choose to display the message to all members or only those that are representing us.
At this point in time there is no-way to communicate en masse to non reppers (other than through a suppressed email system which only allows for one email to be sent at a time), this is important so that we can manage our member base effectively.

This is a great tool but it’s overly restricted. I tried to communicate to 25 members two weeks ago, it took two hours. Can we please have a lifting of the suppression cap and/or maybe have a cc feature like a traditional email. I don’t know how we survived GW1 without email but the restrictions placed upon it now make it almost dysfunctional. The ability to send multiple emails could possibly be linked to a rank selection by the leader so as to avoid mindless flooding of the system. This also extends to the chat box, it’s near on impossible to have a conversation in map chat due the over-zealous suppression.

It would be handy to have a button or some other function for senior members to see the time between logins for members. Also some kind of functionality that shows a members’ repping percentage or time spent representing the guild? This is a crucial missing item for guild management. As leaders we need to manage our member base and the time that a member spends logged and representing affects us for activity and achievement points. As we are constantly sitting at around 480 members, we need to be able to make decisions as to who we contact about remaining in the guild, or furthering their playing experience elsewhere.

You can see how long you’ve played by typing /age in the chat box, this shows how long you’ve played the account as well as the character age that you are currently on. Although this doesn’t display to other players.
