Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

My name is Mikei the Mighty, a GW2 YouTuber and ArenaNet partner. I am looking to run a competition on my channel in August, where by people commenting on my competition video will be entered into a raffle. This raffle will have several winners, who will win the chance to have a GW2 character drawn by an Artist in his/her style.

I’ve always loved seeing artists impressions of in game characters, and thought this would be a nice idea for a competition.

If there are any artists who would like to be part of this, and to drawn a winner’s character, i would love to hear from you. I am willing to do a preview of each artist so that if you do commissions, you’ll get a bit of publicity. If your just a talented artist, then thats cool too!

Thanks!

The pigments and the slivers aren’t the main issue for me. Its piles and piles and piles of Coarse sand. However one simple fix for pigments is to stop needing brown pigment for every thing. Just have brown for lvl 0-100, red for 101-200 etc.

Not only that, the insane amount of Linseed oil needed.

As an example, for those wanting to create their own library, Only 1 Wide Library shelf would cost you….. 90 linseed Oil and 1500 coarse sand!!!! Ignoring all other components, this is WAY to high. It needs to be reduced by a factor of 10! This items shouldn’t cost much as they are DECORATIONS! Why make them so expensive.

Please Anet we want to build cool things, just reduce the costs DRASTICALLY.

When creating new monsters/ creatures that had some reference in GW1, how strict do you stick to how they looked, and how much freedom do you have to update them? A good example would be the Veteran Oakhearts than look much better in GW2.

Lots of interesting points here. I do think they could use the achievements system to determine who’s experienced and who’s not.

The major issue i’ve found is actually getting into a Raid. Not the actual Raid itself. As someone without a guild group, i spent 30-45 mins “waiting to have Fun” as Anet says. Thats on a good day.

So this is my little creation if ArenaNet decided to go to Cantha for the next expansion.

There are “Spoilers” so if you’ve not played and finished HoT ( the few of you there are ) then be warned.

Hope you enjoy as this is just something i thought would get the community nostalgic!

I like the Hide and Seek idea, although it could take a while! I learned the unrepresent trick when i had another guildie be the the judge for the scavenger hunt by doing the same thing and waiting by the object.

We used to also have a raffle… well a lottery, but in the end it just took too much effort to make sure people participated. The idea is to kind of get all the events done inside 1 hour. We also do our GM’s on Sats/Suns so rotate each week what day its on so everyone can participate as we’re a fairly international guild.

I liked your idea of tonic races, in our marathon i allow class and weapon skills as the rule is your not allowed to change character for any of the events (meaning its sort of balanced).

What i have learned is that even though i know alot of cool places in the GH, many of my guildies don’t! I hide an object in the guild “vault” which has lots of gold and coins in. When it was over and people wanted to know what it was, they were all amazed and couldn’t believe this was in the GH! The devs did a great job on design and by doing events around the GH hopefully it’ll showcase some of the awesome features.

One downside… the silly “map is closing” system

During Wintersday i got thinking what we could use our guild hall for. You see i love the GH. My guild has the Lost Precipice, and after the initial “lets all grab our own home” excitement, there really wasn’t much going on. We barely even use the Guild Portal now.

So i created a video a week ago about what events my guild does on a weekend (when we do our Guild missions). I thought i’d be nice to share with people on here and see what events or things you guys do in your Guild halls.

I organise several events: A Jumping Puzzle race, a last man standing Battle Royale in the Arena, A scavenger Hunt for a item i’ve hidden in the GH, and a Marathon following a trail of balloons to the finish. Although now i’ve also added a Guild Quiz which will be featured soon! Each winner gets 10g, which we fund by having people donate 1-2g each week which usually covers it.

What does your Guild use the GH for? Ours is starting to see more use with these Guild Events, the harvesting nodes are almost completed, we have all the bonus boosts available, just needs a few more things to be added (an Editable noticeboard, a Trading Post merc, Guild ANTHEMS!)

But i would love to hear what else people do so maybe we can get more use out of the GH!
