Guild Wars 2

I love the idea of the guild. I have added you Lanthun, to my friends list. I contact in game about the guild when you are online.

I just filled out an application. I may not have right about of points in my WxP or Achievements, but I am willing to learn. Also to help out anyway to make the group/guild better.

So is that where I should start. I yet to have a toon with 100% map completion. Should I work on that 1st before anything else?

I know there are people that hate the duel-spec system in MMOs. My idea is not a dual-spec where you can change it when ever you want to, when ever you want to.
It is kind of like a preset system. I know when I play as a Warrior, I like to be in a certain spec to play WvW, and again if I am going to dungeon. Or solo PvE in the world. So I have next to me 3 print-out specs that I like so when I need to change them I just go to LA and see the dude. Kind a nerve racking because you only have 1 shot of putting the in the spec. If you make a mistake you have to repay to get all the traits back.
Well instead of having me carry these papers or try to remember them, why can we have a system where we have already made a preset of it. You could go to the trainer, pay a little money and unlock 1-2 slots. Then when you wanted to change that spec to do something specific, you back to the trainer pay some silver and then just change the spec. I think it helps save time, especially if you are using the same few specs over and over again.
You would not be able to change it when ever you want to like in Rift or WoW, you would have to go to the trainer and load the spec. If you wanted to take to this far, you have your utilities skill reload to that preset, but that might be a little over the top. I dont know, I think this something that will save some time, stop having to memorize or have printed specs hanging around your desk.
I know that there will be some trolling……so have it. Happy Holidays all.

You will find that there a lot of little features from this game. Another example is getting booted from parties. You have no way of messaging them back or reporting them if need be, b/c the powers that be has disabled your party chat upon getting the boot…..Why?

Even though GW1 has most of these features in place, it took them a long time to implement them.

GW2 is a great game IMO. Currently the only MMO that I am playing, but then you find things like this and you think how does a game that has won numerous awards not have this???

I like the idea but that might be too much. I guess if they jacked up the karma item cost then it work out but 8 karma per kill. An idea off that one would be put dailies for only Orr and that could give you karma as a reward, or a currency only for Orr and there is only 1 merchant that accepts it and it could be some new and only Orr items.

I can not imagine that in the course of GW1 and the year and more that GW2 has been that this has not been brought up. GW2 is interesting game. Gear is the focal point of this game, however, it not about the stats like some other games…..cough cough.

I know that if you want to go through certain content you need certain gear, but the way the armor/weapon looks is one of the main drives in the game. If having gear and different armor sets is something the devs wanted us to invest in……WHERE THE HELL DO WE KEEP IT ALL??

I am planning on having at least 3 sets of gear for 1 toon. I am a Warr that will have a berserk gear, tank gear, and cosmetic gear that looks really good. This takes up valuable space. There should be a creating feature. Where we designate that certain gear go in a set, and we are then aloud to crate it up and it only take up 1 space in the bank/inventory. They could charge us in game money…..50 silver, 1 gold piece to crate it. Then we can store it until we want to use it again.

I know that this will never happen b/c this is how GW2 makes money. It cost gems to open up bank and inventory slots, and most people will end up spending RL money to get those gems. But man it would be nice if this was a feature in the game.

I have been thinking about this for some time. I believe the powers that be, are going to implement this at some point, or at least, want to.

There seems to be a lack of guild PvP events in this game. I know you can group up and PvP, or go WvW. Which is kinda guildish, if you have a big enough guild to run a zerg.

Why back in the day I use to play Runes of Magic. I dont even know if the game is still running………………………………….yep still up.

Anyways. it is, was, a sub par WoW clone, but it did have a pretty unquic guild event system. The leader of the guild would que for a daily event where the guild would go against another guild in a massive pvp event. The guilds would spawn on a separate map with each team having a castle, with their purchased defenses in place. There were guild housing but you only really built up defense for these guild event. I believe it also had buffs the guild would get when they spawned there. Which cost big money You then would battle till one guild made it to the center of the other’s castle and you won. You got items and currency from what I remember. IMO, the game was pretty crappy, but I really enjoyed these events.

Guild Wars could implement some kind of system like that but better. I really like my guild but there seems to be no real guild structured events, except guild mission which most of them have done hundreds of times already. I know that they have started to implement this kinda of thing in Obsidian Sanctum, which more of an arena thing.
Since Arenanet likes leader boards, they could track the best guilds and give out items like they do at the end of seasons in WvW. The problem I see, is that would cause players to migrate to the bigger guilds on the servers and you could end up having a small number of massive guilds.

I dont know, I just want to see more. I really did not play GW1, I know, I should be flogged. How long did it take them to get these event in that game? I know they had them at some point. I would think with the game having been out over a year and since the game is call Guild Wars that this might have been a pretty big focal point of the game. Oh well, what do you all think?

Thanks guys for the input here. I will really check out those Orr maps

Hey guys, this is not a bash thread at all. I am just about to hit level 80 with my Norn Warrior, and I am wondering what should I do now?
I think he is going to be more of a WvW toon. I know I should go into WvW and starting game it up but should I be looking at crafting too to help get new weapon/armor?
Or higher level world events, I to set my self up for contributing to WvW other events. What should be my next step to obtain gear? I know I have a lot of gearing up to do, I am wondering what is the best way to do that?

I am glad that you feel this why, because we do not want you here if all you are going to do is troll the game.

I am coming back of more than a year break. Yes, leveling can be a bit boring but that is like all MMOs that have been out for more than 6 months. I have really enjoyed this game and I can not wait till I get my Warr up to 80 and I can game more with my guildies.

I personally have been away from the game for over a year and I this is my 6th day back. I have been really happy with it all. The only real negative thing I would have to say about it and you can say it to all MMO is if you are not in an active guild, gaming by your self is pretty lonely since pretty much the entire end game at some point requires you to group with people.

The game IMO really takes off when you are active socially with people. I think that is what sets it a part from other MMOs.

I mean I have been in closed beta for Wild Star and GW2 has really taken me away from doing that.

I full think they put in an on/off switch for this quest. I am still working on mine with my 1st character but I no intention of doing again and honestly I looking at the green blob on the map or the little green arrows in LA telling me to go do the quest….

X_X “I won’t! I won’t! You can’t make me!!!!”

Well that unfortunate. I wish they would make that an option.

I just got back into the game and loving it!!! I have started working on an ult. I am still completing the main story quest line but on my alt I have no interest in doing it or completing it. Is there a way to turn the story quests off so that I do have stare at the green glob every time I look at world map?

If not, then the devs should put that feature in the option section. No biggie, just a thought.

I figured it would be on my end. Whats funny is that my dual monitors worked back in launch and now coming back to the over a year later, this issue pops up. I am hoping that the new patch this week might fix it for me.

Yesterday, I had a ticket open and I was talking to support about how the game would insta-crash at launch once I hit the “Play” button form the game client. They had me run this program and upload texts, and logs. However, I never really got answer from them.
This is the error report that I would get every time I started the game:

—> Crash <—
Exception: c0000005

It continues on but this is the beginning of it.
While waiting for them I found someone had kinda the same issue a while back and they solved it by unplugging this dual monitor and running only 1 screen. I too have 2 monitors but I had no indention of running both for GW2. I would one for the game the other would be Chrome or itunes. I thought I would give it a shot, so I unplugged one and the game worked.
I was wondering if anyone has found and answer so that I could run both again. Because once I try and hook the second monitor while in game, it will crash. At launch, I could run both monitors but I guess with the latest patch, or some patch it broke that for me. Thank guys.

In terms of servers you really can’t go wrong with Blackgate, Jade Quarry, Sanctum of Rall, or Tarnished Coast. I’ve played on them all and they seem well populated across the zones.

I’m a little burned out with GW2 at the moment. I went back and played SWTOR for a while and just leveled an old 85 to 90 in WoW which was a lot of fun. I have hopes for GW2 given Colin’s emphasis on skill/ability progression in a recent blog post. I think if GW2 returns to its DNA it could be a great game. Hopefully they will be able to pull this off as a lot of competition is poised for a 2014 release.

I tried going back to SWTOR but just couldn’t, and I swore to myself that I was finally done with WoW. I am just looking for a game to last me till WildStar and hopefully GW2 will. I will check out those servers that you mentioned. Thank you.

I completely understand. My 1st gaming consoel I got was back in 89 with Nintendo. My dad and I would put hours on end to beat Mario Bothers 2. I too, love RPGs and have moved up the the MMO world. I have done the WoW thing, the Rift thing, and the list could go on.
Like I said, I am waiting for Wild Star. That is the one the has peaked my interest. I have been beta testing ESO, for a little bit, nothing really there that holds my interests. However, loved Skyrim!! I still play it today, with mods of course.
Well here is hoping some comes along soon…

Thanks SHM. Just asking, instead of GW2 what are you playing now? Is there another MMO that has your interest? I am always looking for something new to play. That is part of the reason that I am coming back to GW2

Seriously though. I do like a great deal of what the game offers. I just get the constant feeling of being on a treadmill. I feel like I never reach my destination. I am casual, but I do play quite a bit for a casual. I just don’t feel rewarded. This game doesn’t reward skill it rewards grind

That I greatly dislike [/quote]

I agree with what your saying. However, like any MMORPG out there, there things we like and dislike. But we playing b/c usually the like out way the dislikes. I want to see what I dislike about this game and see if it will hold my interest this time, at least until WildStar comes out. lol

its free, for the most part and I would like to try again just to see what has changed and what completely new. But this whole crash at launcher thing is really annoying. I reinstalling it for the 3rd time. I know it will not work, but for some reason it makes me feel better.

Yea there kinda is a repair tool. if you type “-repair” at the end of your icon name, it will start it the process. I did do that and I have re-installed a few times but to no avail. I have done some research on it and I found a thread were people have had this issue before, but besides my posts it went dead 15 days ago with no real fix.

Very cool thank you. I am sorry for not mentioning. I am NA server guy. Now if I can fix this crash issue, I would be ret-to-go.

Its been a little while, has anyone found a possible fix for this?

Having the same issue. I have an ADM Radeon HD Sapphire 7870. I just updated the drivers. I have installed, uninstalled a few times and still getting this issue. I have opened a ticket on this issues as well.

Hey all,
I bought this game at release and had a really good time with a few friends. However, within a month or so myself and my friends kinda moved away from the game. Now I really want to get back into it. I thought visually it is one the most beautiful games I have played and I liked the unique level experience along with the mini games.

My old toon are on Anvil Rock and I have done some research and it looks like Anvil Rock is a little sparse. People were saying that the server is in a “re phasing process,” well to me that is a nice way of saying it is dead.

I am looking for a well populated server with a robust PvP, WvW, and of course PvE community. However, I am more of a PvP player. Does anyone have an suggestions for a server? Also too, if anyone would be interested in a new guild recruit, I am your guy. I am willing to role anything to fit a need.

Currently, having some issues with getting the game started. The game insta-crashes once I hit play from the launcher. I have opened a ticket and updated drivers. Hopefully, I can have it fixed in a few hours.

Thanks guys, have a good day and weekend.

I just completed this mission, and it did not bug when I redid the mission again. I hope the Arenanet is taking notes of these bugs.

sweet start from the horse’s mouth. thanks Anthony

This is a major escort mission of roughly 8 followers. I am in the cave and at the step where I need to bring the followers to the exit of the cave. Well, only 3 of them now follow me and the others are stuck at the location of the 2 research spot. I looks like I may need to restart the entire mission. Which would be bad b/c it is about a 45 min mission.

Does anyone have any info on this? Do VISTAs sometimes show us the location of a hidden area; IE the map puzzle, secret chest/mob, etc.
I just completed the vista at Wrathwave Deeps in the Sparkfly Fen zone. The little video that is associated with the vista showed me the a location across the lake that looked like a cave. I have yet to explore this. I thought I would pose this a general question and see what people say.

I agree, every time I log on I have 3-5 mails from gold vendors. All I can do, at least that I know of, is report them (spamming) then delete the mail. I hope the developers do something about this, b/c it is very annoying.

I am starting this thread in hopes that the developers take notice of this problem and fix it in an update. I know that a lot of the patches we have gotten since the launch has been to the TP and thats a good thing. Here is the issue.

I am currently looking for a hood for my thief. I do not care what stats, I just want the look and Ill transmute the stats. The TP makes it really difficult to find what I need. There is no profession search, or medium, light, etc search feature. To me this is an important feature instead of trying to blindly search through all the crap white gear that people keep posting up for some reason.
I am just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing any hardships with the TP. Lets put them here and voice of concern the the developers.
