Guild Wars 2

thanks for helping guys. I’m saving my hero points because i prefer the PoF elite spec rather than the HoT elite spec.

Do you need the previous elite specialization from HoT in order to get the new elite specialization in PoF.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

You’re trolling right Oliver…

Yes XD I was trying to be obviously sarcastic, although Elona is awesome ^^ But it is important to note that there isn’t anything dubious going on. Just wait May 15-16 and an announcement about new content should be made. I cross my fingers for LS2 but Id be happy with ANY new content ^^

I honestly think that, given the Megaserver being new, we must have an even stricter policing of players.

Agreed.

With fewer options to avoid trolls, and with a greater chance of being thrown in with them in the first place, in game moderation becomes much more important.

Yes, i tend to i agree with you guys here.. I do believe in second chances though, so this is what i would’ve done :

I would’ve added active GMs staying “hidden” from common view, and appearing whenever a report or block has been submitted, thus evaluating the situation. And then, if a troll is identified, to simply give him a friendly but strict “warning”.

Then, keep said troll under surveillance. The troll does it again? Give the GM the right to actively “kill” the troll’s character, this time without warning. Permanently. Alongside all his assets. No need to ban the account, just strip it clean. That would force the trolls to think twice before harassing someone, as the fear of having to start over from scratch will be there to stay.

Yes, i’m mean.

That would definitely give the RPlayers some air to breathe, or feeling “safe” while enjoying the game. Tonight, my RP group stayed in “Party Chat” in order to avoid trolls, but it was a “one minute solution”, as we were less than usual. Holidays and stuff.

I know what are you going to say to me, it’s farfetched and never going to happen, as active GMs require money, and in order to keep a population like ours in check, (GW2 population in general, that is), would require a lot of them… Still, hope dies last, they say.

This reminded me of the Dhuum banimation. This should be implemented if they make any of your suggested changes. But yea, trolls can be dumb but there are also trolls that are funny. There is a happy medium between being a funny troll and being rude and harassing others. Note the differences, as they do exist. But yes, I believe there should be a fix for those who partake in RPing and the difficulty that the newly implemented mega-servers have makitten possible. I’m not saying I am against the mega-server, cuz I love it, but I can see how others can be affected by this negatively. Whatever happens, good luck to all you RPers.

I don’t know. I hear they are making gw3 right around the corner. It only seems logical. I mean hardly any new content or updates in over 2 weeks? Something dubious is going on indeed. Gw3 or Guild Wars Nightfall 2: Return of Abaddon.

The land spears are a must. Scythe, whip, and crossbow are other weapons I would like to see. I actually have a list of weapons I want to see, but I can’t find it atm. But yea, I agree completely about needing spears, but I wasn’t expecting it in that feature patch.

SheerBlood.5687:

Your English teacher would be horrified…

OT: Ples giv uz teh zupah advenchure bawks.

I love this comment. Haha XD But yea, I don’t understand. “expect it by beginning of April?” Its already May. Your spelling and grammar is really throwing me off so I could be misunderstanding what you are saying. It will come back, obviously, they haven’t even had world 3 yet.

I honestly can’t wait for season 2. For many reasons, 1. being I like seeing new content and 2. Ever since LS1 started their events have become progressively better, I can only imagine what they might bring in S2. I am very excite.

And to answer your question, yes, it is because of the China release but that should all be finished soon. Expect an announcement of some sort by May 15-16 ish if not sooner.

Zanshin.5379:

Oliver.4017:

Kodans are all polar bears. Have any of you seen a non-white kodan? I haven’t and they all come from the north.

Yeah, because everybody knows GW2 has a very strict lore…

I’m sure if they wanted Kodan as a playable race they could come up with some reason to make them more than just all white.

I personally would love to play Kodan.

I would agree with you, except they have already said in the official gw2 wiki “The kodan are a race of intelligent polar bear-like beings from the distant northern lands and seas. They are a highly spiritual race that for centuries has lived in cities built upon, and carved into, icebergs in the arctic seas known as Sanctuaries.”

And gw is very lore based so I am confused by your (I think) sarcastic remark. If you weren’t sarcastic, perfect, I’m with you. They follow lore pretty dang close. And I’m sure if they WANTED to make them playable by all rights they can, but I don’t think they would be that great. Kodans are polar bears. It would make zero to no sense to see other colored polar bears. And I already said, I am all for playing Kodan, they are awesome, but Tengu and Largos are far more likely.

What does a person who believes “what they are doing is right” fall under. This could be tricked into believing something, or experience that has made them believe something. I figured that villain would be the anti-hero but you describe him as someone who has “motives you can sympathize with, but her methods could do more harm than good”. Either way, this is really nice and I would like to see all of them tbh. There is never just ‘one’ major villain. There may be others who have similar ideals and goals. But Seeing all the villains you mentioned above would be great, and they don’t even have to be on the same side. Having multiple villains with different ideals and goals would be an epic story. But if I had to choose one, it would be the anti-hero or the one I said would “believe what they are doing is right”.

Palador.2170:

Oliver.4017:

Largos would be nice to play since it would be the first underwater city and underwater combat and mechanics are underused. Those are my 5 cents.

Given that they’ve removed underwater combat from SPvP, I don’t think we’ll be seeing much of anything to do with underwater combat for a long time.

As you said, it was only taken from sPvP, and if they add Largos in a new expansion, then there would be some serious updates to how underwater combat works. Imho, I feel underwater combat takes a lot of skill, and is an overlooked aspect of the game. Not to mention it is far more difficult imo. But I see why you would believe that, and I’m not saying you are wrong, I’m just saying I hope that you are XD

Kodan would be bad for playable race because of the lack of customization. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be cool to play a Kodan, but it’s highly unlikely.

Kodans are all polar bears. Have any of you seen a non-white kodan? I haven’t and they all come from the north. Quaggan are also unlikely since they are one of the races that you have to save/work with and in that, skritt, hylek, and grawl are also removed from possible playable races. Tengu and Largos are THE most likely for playable races, and Tengu even more so since they already have a city.

Largos would be nice to play since it would be the first underwater city and underwater combat and mechanics are underused. Those are my 5 cents.

What if moment: What if this is all a test. Anet wants to see how we will react without new content or any word about updates. They prolly even put in that dev comment to see how we would react. This is all a huge scientific experiment…

Nah, but more seriously. If they aren’t saying anything, that means they are working. If they are working, that means we will have new content soon. I honestly expect more content a few weeks after the China Release. It shouldn’t be long now. I’m excite. You excite? No? Well you should be. I hear Chauncey von Snuffles III is going to make a hit appearance in LS2. Maybe even the hero. Like we team up with Chauncey to fight Mordremoth. So, hold up and waiiiiiiiit for iiiiiiiiiit. XD

They nerfed dyes because they want them harder to obtain since they are account bound, and to reply to your comment about laurels being near pointless. Chauncy von Snuffles III. He alone, makes the laurels the most valuable token/currency in the entire world. And you can never have to many Chauncey’s… He’s just so…. Fancy. But yea, I must say I am glad they nerfed the laurel dyes. Farming for Lion Keys are an excellent way to get dyes. you get 1 key every 10-20min.

lordkrall.7241:

The living story will be synced, so their version of the game looks like ours.
The destruction of Lion’s Arch is simply something in the history of the world. Just like the Rising of Orr and Creation of the Dragonbrand didn’t appear in our version of the game.

Alright. Thanks. But I must say, that kinda sux for them to not be able to live it, but as long as they have the ability to read into the lore of what happened, that would be good.

So, I’m not certain this has been brought up or not, but if it has, cool, this post can be forgotten in the waves of new ones. So, as the title suggests, I was wondering since the release of gw2 in China if A-Net was going to connect the living stories together or if they were going to run them separate. Meaning simply, are they going to skip season 1 of the LS for China and go to season 2, or are we going to start season 2 here and they redo season 1 in China.

My main concern is the state of LA, since China was not able to witness what happened if they go with the skipping of LS1 path. Just wondering how this will play out. Something I have been thinking about for awhile.

Goon for Hire.7150:

Cheers, I’ve found it. Turns out it’s Aidan’s armour which is a named medium set (except for the coat, which is Priory).

Thanks!

Named armor skins do not have their own skin. They are based off of another skin. For example: Aidan and Zho’s named armor skins are both the same as the “Duelists” unnamed skin.

Lord of Rings.5371:

Just like in the Guild Wars, players can click for movement. Why not bring back this option?

I think a part of this problem was that gw1 was an x and z (back forth/left right) plane while gw2 has x, y and z (back forth/left right/up down). But I see your point. Why not just only move for the x and z planes… There are a lot of conflicts with this including when you reach a cliff/gap/ridge/mountain or any change in the y plane (elevation).

I suggest just using auto run or just use the arrowkeys/wasd or whatever you want to keybind.

Shoulders and gloves are NOT vigil. Those are definitely Duelist armor which is a medium armor. last one on the 2nd row : http://www.gw2armorgallery.com/human-medium.htm

I’m not super crazy about zombies and undead and dark and gloomy and fire and lava and vampires and goth and emo and all that. Why aren’t there more top end areas where we’re doing things to help villages and cities and farmers and towns and forts in nice, sunny, grassy areas with centaurs and bandits and ogres and tigers and lions and bears [link to George Takei meme]?

Now that you mention it, that would be nice. Is it too much to ask to be heroic somewhere somewhere cheerful?

This… Just this. This is such a great comment. “Can we just be a hero of a cheerful place?” This is gold. My life is complete. Thank you! XD

There is an Asura gate in every main city. Find the "purple swirl’ icon on the map by pressing ‘m’ while in the main city. This portal leads to Gendarren Fields where the portals to the other main cities are. I hope this helps.

I have quite a few of these, and I was wondering if any of you knew a good way to level alts. Of course I have some conditions, otherwise this would be fairly easy. I like to understand a class. When playing my Mesmer and Thief I did a lot of research on different builds and watched a lot of videos trying to find a build that best fit my play style. I understand that following the personal story is one of the best ways to get exp. but during those times when you are not a high enough level, what is another place to level.

So for those who don’t like to read: Other than personal story where can I best level my characters while also learning how to play that class? AND, What is a great way, outside of reading a lot of sites and watching videos, that I can best understand class skills and play-styles of my alternate character’s classes?

Thanks ahead of time if you took the time to read. I appreciate any and all help.

I have to agree that this achievement is very difficult. I’m not going to argue it’s possibility because obviously people have done it. I think its difficulty can be agreed though. I admit, I do not have the achievement, and It is the only boss achievement I do not have. I have never seen a crystal. EVER. I somehow got 1? But I’m not sure how or when. I don’t know if this is a thing to be looked into, or just something that requires more skill than I have. I just wanted to point out that I sympathize with those who do not have the achievement and agree wholeheartedly that this is a difficult achievement and does not need the “this is really not that hard. I got it in one try” kind of comments. Seeing those I think: great. Congratz. How does this help me? It just makes the people who do not have the achievement re-evaluate their skill as a player, and make them feel pretty upset. So with this in mind, I hope if someone does have the achievement done, they could actually help these people who don’t with some constructive comments on not just “change your server” or “do it late at night”. Is there a class that works best? I think I read Ele was a good one to use. I’ll try that out. Thanks if you read my comment, I appreciate that.

Isn’t there a bank that allows all your characters to deposit and withdraw items from? I think they also have crafting stations that allow you to do this exact thing spread out across Tyria? So you want 2 banks? One bank where you deposit items in your other bank? I don’t entirely understand this post? It doesn’t take that much time to go from one place to a bank. And you should have room to have 5? bags of 20 slots. Thats a lot of space.

It used too, i loved GVG back in the day.

No it didn’t.
The name was lore-based since before release.

Guild wars had everything to do with “Guild wars”, hence the name >>GUILD WARS<<
Guild wars 1 was all about how people could create thier own guilds, with guild halls and special guild events, and have (wait for it) GUILD WARS with other guilds. I remember logging in to battle my personal guild with my friends guild all the time. I agree this is more likeDragon Wars… actually… not even, since there really hasnt been much dragon fighting either. Its more like….. “undead (with a few dragons somewhere off in the background and a minor guild role established) wars” XD

This is false. Guild wars is based off of the Guild War that took place before Guild Wars Prophecy. This was the war between the three guilds of Orr, Kryta and Ascalon. The war ended when the Searing hit Ascalon and the Cataclysm hit Orr. Nothing to do with in-game player made guilds. Sorry if you thought differently. =P

your correct and incorrect at the same time. while yes, it was about the guild war that happened pre-prophecy, this guild war event is the catalyst for the “guild wars” players could participate in with their individual guilds. so yes, it was named after that war, but that war is basicly the starter reasoning FOR the actual player guild wars

I wasn’t disputing what the game’s core content was about, or what content players believe should be considered more important than others. The game title itself was not named for the guild mechanic, pretty much every RPG contains some sort of guild mechanic. The game was titled after the Guild War event. That is fact. Whether or not you guys insist on arguing about what mechanics and content is more important, I won’t play any part in that. I am just clarifying the origin of the game title. Nothing more, nothing less. The guild wars has nothing to do with the competitive battles between guilds. If this was the case, we should be calling every game out there with competitive guild battles ‘guild wars’. Does that make sense? Sorry to sound a little catty, but disputing an opinion is one thing, but disputing a fact is entirely different =P If anything, I hope this helps you understand something you didn’t know. I suggest you read in on the lore of Guild Wars if you have not already. It is very fascinating and I have always enjoyed the stories that Arena Net has created/added to the Guild Wars Universe and look forward to more of it with Living Story Season 2.

So, I’ll keep this short, sweet and to the point. I am currently in a guild that I am very happy with and do not wish to leave, however when I wish to do WvW there are not many others who wish to join me and when we do it’s quite uncoordinated.

So in total, I want a coordinated WvW guild that has some sort of voice chat, that will be willing to have me join them only when I am doing WvW and at the same time let me represent and remain in my primary guild for everything else. This is a lot to ask of a guild, but I’m just hoping.

My world is Yaks Bend and my in-game name is Zadaa. pm me if you either have a guild that fits what I am looking for or have suggestions/know of one.

Thank you so much.

I suggest trying sword/X. I admit when I first started thief I overlooked it, but the style is something I hadn’t experienced before. I usually tell new thieves to try their work with daggers and then when they get comfortable move on to sword. The Thief class can be easy to learn, but very hard to master.

@KeeZee: I think everyone has the right to be in WvW… o.O It’s game. We all paid for it we all deserve it. No one is more special than another. You saying older players have more right to WvW is a little strange. What if people haven’t had the funds for gw2 until now. What if people wanted to try WvW out for the first time. What if… etc. Thats like me saying “no one should come into Arah for the temples because they don’t know what there doing, and I was there longer than anyone else”.

My argument is not that the achievements added more players to WvW, my argument is that shouldn’t be seen as bad thing.

Last note: Your enjoyment is in your control alone. You can choose to or not to enjoy a certain aspect of the game. But you have no right to make everyone else not enjoy that aspect of the game. Jesus, I absolutely enjoy WvW. it’s a new feel and I’ve been playing gw2 since launch, i’ve been playing Gw since launch. So don’t think of me as a new player, in any standards. By your argument of

“I find it unacceptable that the new players feel they have a right to be there at the expense of the players that have been in there for the last year.”

A little insulting because I want to enjoy WvW. Why should you get that enjoyment and not me? Why do you get that right and not me? Its a flippin game. We all have rights to play it.

Anyways. Again, thank you for your opinion, and I hope that you might be able to see some things in my perspective.

@Aaron: I totally agree with you. But does that mean all new PvEers are like that? I consider myself fairly new and I listen to commanders? I believe the pugs have been a problem well before the achievements. I played WvW for a few months and there were always some people that just didn’t understand, no matter how much you broke it down for them. But does that mean we have to put all the PvEers in that single stereotype of “If ur new you sux”? I still think we should give them a chance. Sure there will be problems, but WvW is really pretty dang simple. I learned in a few minutes.

Thank you for reading my post, I appreciate your opinion and your feedback.

@Artasian Nosferatu: Didn’t mean to upset you. Just my opinion. I guess I feel like I have to defend myself because I moved into WvW for achievements myself. I still pull my weight, and I sometimes even come up with very strategical ideas. So if one person can do that from transferring from PvE to WvW it’s not everyone. Idk what your lag has to do with anything to be honest. I’m sorry, I’m trying to see it believe me. I haven’t had lag. I’ve Dc’d before, but that because of my kittenty internet. I’m sorry if my post insulted you but know it was directed at you, it wasn’t directed at the entire thread. That’s what I do. I read every post in the thread and then repond to the thread as a whole. Not a single person. That (In my book) is kinda mean. Again, ty for reading my post, I hope you agreed with me at ‘some’ points.

@KeeZee: Sorry if my post upset you as well. I might ask you, your first statement agreed with my point: ‘WvW with achievements has been in game since launch’. Was this sarcasm or are you actually agreeing with me. Just asking don’t take it the wrong way. If sarcasm, thats okay, your post makes more sense, if agreeing, thats cool we have a common foothold. Again as stated, if I am here to do achievements does that make me a bad player because I want to be in WvW? I am a completionist. I like to accomplish as much as I can. I learned from watching and reading how WvW to become a helpful player in WvW. And despite the Achievements attracting new players, that doesnt give anyone the right to say “NO we don’t want you because you haven’t WvW before”. The achievements require you to be a part of WvW (I assume you PvP meant WvW). Did you know there is a castle assaulter? A player killer achievement? These actually require skill and will help in WvW. So think of the achievements as a good thing.

I think the main problem is the queue. And that problem is being fixed.

Thank you both for responding to my post. I appreciate it. XD

What I don’t understand, is that WvWers won’t allow new people come into WvW. I mean talk about being a little selfish? Just because you haven’t done WvW before doesn’t mean you suck. There is nothing wrong with PvE or PvP players to come in and play WvW.

Now to the achievements. There have already been achievements before hand for WvW. So thats really not the issue. Sure, the achievements prolly attracted a lot of player but is that the underlying cause?

I believe WvW Season 1 is a great addition becuase it is encouraging more players to play WvW. I can’t think of a single thing wrong with that. WvW is fun. Just becuase there are more experienced WvWers doesnt mean only they can play WvW and screw anyone else who wants to try. Believe it or not EVERYONE was a new player at WvW at one time or another. Would you like it if all these people cam e yelling at you and saying “Your new! Get out of here! You came from PvE! You don’t know what you are doing!” In all honesty, its kinda rude. And thats an understatement.

All in all, relax. Queues are not the end of the world. A-net saw the problem with WvW queues and that’s why they are making the “Edge of the Mists” Map. I’m in silver Tier and I have not had any problems getting into ANY of the maps, but it might be me. Maybe I’m ooober lucky.

Thank you for letting me voice my opinion. I hope those new to WvW will become more experienced and help assist your server. I also hope those older to WvW will become more accepting to new players to WvW, maybe help them out. MAKE THEM BETTER PLAYERS. Because in the end, your server will do better. So, PvE or achievers, it doesnt matter. They are still new to WvW and they still have to become a part of WvW. Welcome them, and appreciate them, don’t push them away. Hope everyone has fun! Enjoy the game! And see you ingame!

Side note: The Ruins actualy help in WvW and they are not the only achievement btw
Side note 2: I haven’t had a problem on my server with 20+ people ignoring a garrison to obtain ruins…
Side note 3: You guys complain about the ruins a lot. Do you realize that ruins give you bonuses? Commanders, tell groups of 5-10 to constantly be flipping ruins. DO you want your rivals to have that bonus? Honestly Id prefer to have a bonus than my rival, but that might be just me o.O

If you played the instance (Everyone should have received a letter explaining where to go) you would have learned very fast that Candy-Corn contains mystical properties. Those who played Gw1 and even last Halloween should have learned this already but A-Net ‘re’ taught this phenomenon. In the instance with Bloody you throw Candy-Corn at him… Now… If Candy-Corn does dmg to Bloody, logically the effects of Candy-Corn should have the same affect against all other enemies?

I guess we can’t say no to the fact that everything on the ground is usually bad, but with experience you learn to read the effects in the bottom right hand corner. I, personally, enjoy bonuses to my stats (like extra damage). SO be that you purposely or accidentally stood in them at some point, you should have learned the effects that the pools of candy have on you. If not, try try and fail again. How many tries it takes. Experience comes from failure more than success.

Overall, I wish more people did this that way the ‘Zerg’ would go by MUCH faster, so you wouldn’t have time to go afk, because he would be down. I enjoy playing the game versus going afk. But that’s how I play. How you is all on you guys.

Thank you for letting me share my opinion. Because that’s all we have really, are our opinions. Enjoy the game! See you in game! XD

Q= Elite Skill: Thieves Guild or Basilisk Venom (I switch a lot)
E= 5 Skill: Cloak and Dagger
X= 9 Skill: Shadow Refuge
C= 6 Heal Skill: Hide in Shadows
V= 7 Skill: a Venom Skill ( I switch a lot)
R= 8 Skill: Infiltrators Signet

I do this to move quickly. Everything is a small movement from where your hand already is.

First off I want to say henchmen would not be a great idea. This is a community based game, so start getting involved with your community. Join a guild. In fact I own a guild where helping people is our very objective. Not everyone in the game are mean people who won’t help you do an event. Also, events are scaled to the number of people in the area. If you need help, shout into chat, ask someone. And if all else fails, join a guild. Henchmen would take away from the skill in the game. With the Henchmen in Gw there was nothing customizable about them. Finally when Heroes came around, we had some options, but I dont see them being necessary in a community game like Gw2. If you think about it, Henchmen were used because every map was your own instance, no one else was there. In Gw2, each map has ton of players (unless you are in Orr).And you kind of get henchmen while in instances, with the ally you always have in each personal story instance. Don’t think the content is non solo-able. Even champs are solo-able. It just takes practice, and skill. High level armor helps but isn’t necessary, I didn’t change my armor until I was lvl 50 for the first time. All I’m trying to say, is that there are other options, and jumping to the conclusion that the only reason is that there are no henchmen seems a little premature. Try different skill and weapon combos and a skill I learned to take down champs and vets, is to keep moving and don’t stop. I don’t want to sound mean or shoot your idea down, but I don’t think henchmen are necessary. Sorry if these weren’t the responses you hoped for. Q.Q

Its basically like the overflow system except you could choose which “overflow” you wanted to be in.

Looks like somebody needs a girlfriend.

Most helpful contribution so far. </sarcasm>

I thought you were serious for a moment. My eyes skipped over the “sarcasm” part. Back to topic: Weekly sounds like it would be cool, but I think it should be 3. Everything good comes in 3’s. Yearly seems…err…extensive? I think I would work for my yearly a little, but then forget about it if it was implemented.

The idea sounds great but its also hilarious thinking about it. Watch as that rack bleeds. The trebuchet is poisoned! Quick kill it, the catapult is blind! The tree is afraid… etc. It can seem really funny but I understand that condition build may have trouble.

I like the mists idea. Anywhere near Southsun would make the Sea of Sorrows too cluttered. I would assume the portal would be in LA, or a button in your guild menu like in Gw. As I said, I like the idea.

I am totally pro for this idea Herschie, but one question: Where would they put it? Where would they have all these villages? I mean it has to make sense lore wise. Other than that, I would love to see Guild Halls implemented at last. Maybe then they will add GvG and Alliances.

I actually like this. It makes guilds very customizable, and I like that in a guild.

I agree. Good post. I play a thief as well, I don’t use Shadow return that often but I know it lasts for 15 sec. That’s a long time.

Asura’s being easier at Jumping puzzles is a common misconception. They are the same through all the races, they just “feel” easier. Otherwise the unbalance issue would come up. I have rolled at least one of each race and they all have different a “feel”, but the jumping puzzles are not easier or harder.

Asura sizes have no advantage. Infact everything is the same between all races. I hear a lot of complaints with jumping Puzzles being easier with Asura than Norns, but in reality its just a psychological thing. They can all jump, attack, dodge the same. Asura have an advantage? They have a disadvantage if anything. Have you ever played and Asura? The camera is so low to the ground you can hardly see crap. Now that you Can’t fix. The other things you mentioned, takes practice. And so you know. I have at least one of each race, and I don’t have any of those problems you have mentioned before.

Thank you for taking the time to write out such a long post. You wrote what many of us were too lazy to write. XD Thanks, I agree completely and would LOVE to see these implemented. Also: Less Spikes. lol

I want duels for a selfish reason, I know I’m bad >.<. I want to duel with my friends. I test different builds out and it would be nice to be able to test this build against a player rather than an NPC. Yes PvP is an option, and I do do that, but I also like testing out who is better against my friends. It’s a little bit of friendly rivalry. Idk how Dueling could be implemented, but I would love to see it so. I know selfish reasons, but I’m only hoping.

I like the idea of adding a set of selective skills for each slot 1 to 5. It doesn’t even need to be add 3 to all of them at once, but like progressive. Add one skill to every slot at first, so we can choose between two skills per one slot. But then later add more and keep adding more. It will return the strategy aspect to Guild Wars 2 that many people so loved in Guild Wars. It’s just an idea.

Or a guild messaging system. Like Guild-Mail. So its guild specific. There could be more things implemented but I know what you are talking about and I give prizes for my Zadaa Trivia and its hard to send rewards to the winners with the message appearing.
