People want solutions instead of all this QQ’s? Ok fine here’s one, coach sign me up, I am ready for the big game, ready to work in game development at any time.

Here’s the way I think it should have been done and still can be done. Put the bounties in the different tiers create new unlock bounty tiers that each divide the current 30,000 influence, so each bounty tier unlock is 10,000 influence. This way at least the middle to small guilds can do one guild mission in the next month.

Here’s the list and what it would look like in Art of War.

^^ This, in combination with a proper Alliance system that allows small guilds to participate together on missions while earning influence for their respective guilds. This.
And well done, Leohan.

YES! Though my guild may still have some work to do to start doing some guild missions, having the lower tier missions start at level 3 is a heck of a lot more attainable and should stop or at least lower the amount of discontent from us small guilds. You sir win the genius of the internet for the week.

In hindsight;

If the Guild Missions had been implemented from the game’s inception, I expect that the current landscape would be much different.

Some made choices early on to start their own small guilds without knowing the long term implications regarding the importance of influence and quantity of members.

Server choice may have been different because guild choice may have been different.

Free server transfers would probably have been utilized more to finalize server/guild choice.

As a small guild leader I feel like I have wasted the last six months of playing. It does kind of take the wind out of your sails.

I know this doesn’t contribute to the effort of finding a solution to the conundrum of “What do we do now with what we have to work with?”

Even though I don’t agree with a lot of Tobias’s responses to my posts, he is trying to organize and formulate potential solutions instead of just complaining.

As many have mentioned here, some tools to assist in alliances and communications would be beneficial in assisting small guilds to assimilate if they choose to do so.

Is it beyond the realm of possibility to allow small guilds to merge and salvage their influence investment?

I have thought about looking into other guilds to join, since you are supposed to be able to be in multiple guilds and just have my guild the New Orrian Nobles be a RP side guild just for doing roleplay events and attempt to grow it that way with the option to switch back to a full time guild if the member list grows enough to warrant it.

My concern is that as guild leader I dont see a button on the roster to un-represent, only Step Down. I dont want to give up my leadership spot and if the other members leaves and I Step Down to join another guild does the Nobles get deleted? I would hate to have all that time and influence spent to get our banks and other stuff unlocked be wasted on joining another guild that might end up not being a guild I enjoy playing with.

As the guild leader of a very small guild (15 members and about 3 or so consistently active daily) I feel really shafted by the guild missions and fear that my group of friends is now doomed to break up and be lured to large established guilds.

We have the first two of the guild bank slots unlocked and almost every category of influence to level 3 with almost 6k influence unspent. It is going to take forever for us just to get to level 4 and the 30k and needing to be rank 5 / 6 …. yeah it is the cavern of impossibility scale.

We were never meant to be a big guild, just some friends from Lotro, work and family members to casually enjoy as much of the game as we could. I was fine with not having enough people to do a lot of the missions, that is why you can get help from everyone else on the server. Not being able to even get to the point of being able to unlock is heart breakingly depressing. We have been trying to strategize recruitment ideas but the fear is that when people get in and see how small we are and how far to being able to do the missions, they will just leave instead of sticking around and helping us reach that milestone.

Also, it was stated on Gamebreaker.tv’s Guild Cast show that if you help do a guild mission but your guild is not on that mission the only rewards you get are the normal Dynamic Event rewards ……. really?? That makes my interest in being a good helping community member and helping others do the content (other than seeing what it is like) reach the high number of ZERO. I mean I dont expect a precursor to drop for me, but a little bit of xp, karma and silver isn’t cutting it. I mean some of those jumping puzzles are intense from listening to the show and dynamic event rewards are not enough incentive to help someone else out.

The New Orrian Nobles are on the Tarnished Coast server and though we are small with a couple of members playing at varying times of the day we do not mind those that are new to MMO’s. In fact I just got a buddy from work that not only hasn’t played MMO’s before but never played PC Games at all (Converting Console Players for the Win! ). We have a Teamspeak server and a website.

Welcome to TC! Feel free to check out my guild the New Orrian Nobles. We are small but growing. I mainly play during your off time during the week, but on the weekends anything goes. We have a couple of people that play more in the evenings and a couple that play late nights, though activity can be sporadic due to Real Life taking over. We have teamspeak and a website, though the site gets little attention, seems people rather be in game than on the internet lol.

Check out this post for more info. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/New-Orrian-Nobles-Wants-You/first#post1381481

Also, try Eira Glen or Sab Longfellow in case I am not online. I work graveyard shift so can have some funky login times. The above two are officers in the guild and normal “Day Walker” types. Cya in game!

Home World: Tarnished Coast

Guild Name: New Orrian Nobles

Guild Website: http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=454774&TabID=3907912

In-Game Contact: Val Sandekitten (that is Sand E S H T) Why does it keep saying I am a Kitten??, Kian Glen

Focus: PVE – Personal Story, Dungeons, WvW, Light RP

Quick Notes: We have a teamspeak server, casual but active small member base looking to grow. The main goal is that we all have fun together.

Greetings, no need to try and transfer off your server (I understand about being poor, I am currently trying to gear out 2 lvl 80’s and leveling 6 other toons so money is tight!) With guesting in you can visit other servers and play with people till you get the money for the move, that is if you end up deciding to leave TC.

If you would rather stay, look up my guild the New Orrian Nobles. We are a small guild 14 members with about 3 – 4 active regularly and trying to grow. We want to be able to run dungeons and other content together as much as possible and we chat on teamspeak as we play regularly.

I have a recruitment post on here as well if you want to check that out. I would give my toons name for you to add to your friends list, but for some reason the forums rewrites it to read Sandekitten (so wrong Arenanet!)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/New-Orrian-Nobles-Wants-You/first#post1376665

OOOOOKKKK, I list my name as San D E S H T, and when the message is posted it comes out as Sand e Kitten?? That is weird and so not cool Arenanet, stop screwing with my name man!

Anyway, if any are interested in a nice relaxed family environment that is focused on having fun together send me a message in game. Add Meithar.7051 or my Guild Leader toon Val S A N D E S H T (minus the spaces) and I will get you setup in the guild. Catch ya in Tyria!

Greetings,

I am Lord Val Sandekitten and I am seeking valiant comrades to help in the fight to reclaim Arah from Zhaitan and the Risen. If you are of descent from ancient Orr or just want to rid the world of Evil, we have need of your services. Once the nation is free from its taint there will be lands a plenty to be claimed and the city to be rebuilt so opportunities for new Nobility is for the taking! Please contact me at your earliest convience if this peaks your interest in the slightest.

We are a small but wanting to grow guild that wants to focus on group activities in the game (dungeons, wVw, and light RP) but the main focus is to have fun together. We have a teamspeak server so we can chat even if not in game and better coordinate when we are.

We are on the Tarnished Coast server and though we accept any time zone members, currently are most active players are on between 8 am – 2 pm Central Standard Time during the week and just about any time during the weekend. We do have some who play evenings during the week thanks to our members diverse work schedules. I hope you found this interesting and want to join our small but growing family.

Ok I think it is working that way, as I just used my laptop at work to check this thread and had to input a code. It is nice to know it is working. It was just weird seeing it at login for a few days and then it was gone. Thanks for checking up on it, feel free to close down the thread now. Keep up the great work on the game I am loving every minute.

I setup the google authenticator back when it was first announced as available for use. It took several tries to get the Ipod App to link properly to my account but it finally was successful and seemed to be working properly. That lasted for maybe a week. Now the patcher looks like it did before the link, i.e. no box to input the google code; just input email and password and it logs right into the game.

Looking at my account settings here on the website still shows me as having the google app linked. Is there any way to get it working again, other than unlinking and going through the arduous process all over? It was a pain to do the first time and I do not relish the thought of having to go through it again.

Guild: New Orrian Nobles [NoN]
Server: Tarnished Coast

I upgraded my account from Digital to Digital Deluxe during the head start after I had created the guild and was representing it. I used both the Tomes for the PVP Glory and Guild Influence. I instantly received the Glory but have yet to see the Guild Influence be added. I am not even sure how much Influence was supposed to be added but there is nothing in the report tab showing an addition by using the Tome. On a side note, the mistfire wolf epic is showing on the skills menu but remains greyed out and unselectable to me even after leveling past level 30.

I submitted a bug report, I do not know the ticket number I really do not remember if a screen popped up and told me one or not. I didnt have any paper / pen available while playing at the time to write one down and I never received any emails reporting that my ticket was received.

If there is a way to lookup past tickets to get the number, let me know and I will update this post with the info.

This last part is less of an issue than an request, but it would be nice if guilds Message of the Day would post in the chat box when players first log in like in other MMO’s. Sadly members do not seem to check the guild page regularly and messages posted are not getting seen.

I am looking into that myself, with all these reports of hacks going around.

I have the same issue, filed an support ticket and have yet to get a reply. I don’t recall what the ticket number was as I don’t usually keep a pen and paper handy while playing. Sucks that they don’t send email confirmations of support tickets like most games.

I also used the pvp tome and that one worked, giving me 5000 glory which I didn’t really want anyway. Also not able to use the Mistfire wolf Epic even though I am nearly level 50.

I know they are swamped with issues and tickets, some which have been submitted multiple times. Still it would be nice to get some response on how long to expect to wait for an reply.
