Guild Wars 2

Well, I changed the default back to google chrome today and surprisingly everything works again

Put gw2 on windows 7 compatibility mode?

Can someone confirm if this is a windows 10 issue or just google chrome alone

Yep, my sound just dissapeared while chestfarming and fps dropped to 10

TheRandomGuy.7246:

There is a little bug/feature in win 10. When you change default browser you need to set it by default with browser popup and then in windows default app settings menu. Sometimes if you skip second part windows will get confused because chrome says that he is default but default browser in windows settings is still edge.

The problem is not setting chrome to default, that’s perfectly fine. the problem is whenever chrome IS the default that these commands/links or whatever won’t work. it will freeze gw2 and not open the web page like it should. whenever Edge is the default it DOES open the links so it’s definitely something within Google Chrome

Yeah well the thing isn’t trying to set Google Chrome as the default because that actually works, it’s Guild wars 2 not being able to prompt websites whenever my default browser is chrome. whenever it’s edge or internet explorer it’s totally fine. I’ll try reinstalling chrome and see if that works

So recently something went terribly wrong with my game. I have no idea what caused this but guild wars 2 is not able to let me open webpages through the client (Redirecting to PayPal for a gem purchase, the /wiki command won’t do anything and clicking on any link in the patcher won’t work). Whenever I try to do any of these the game freezes for a couple seconds and then nothing happens afterwards. I am running windows 10 with Gw2 on windows 7 compatibility mode. After having contact with the support I found out that having Google Chrome as your default browser makes these issues happen. After switching default browsers it worked again although I’d like to keep Google Chrome as my default browser and I’m not sure what to do. Clearing cache etc didn’t resolve this issue either

This is needed so badly

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I had to disband my guild sadly because of this issue, I’ve been waiting for one of these things since launch and everytime anet spoke up about Guild halls they were just mentioning it that it would be some fun feature for the future and that they were not actively working on it. boohoo, now I have to step away from the game until they add these things in ;D

Still recruiting!

Our Black Bird Cuts Itself [eMoa]

We started out as a guild in Guild Wars 1, about 7 years ago. Over the years we just had a small team of about 12 people, since pvp was always based on teams of 4-6-8 people. We were a close community which focussed mainly on high-end PvP.

Now we are back in Guild Wars 2 on the Far Shiverpeaks. We soon found out that we couldn’t stay a small guild anymore. We had to expand, and we did. Currently we’re still growing with a current 300+ members.

We’re an European based PvX guild with a slight overhaul to WvW (rather than sPvP). Our guild does have quite many dutch people since the founders and current leaders (except for one) are dutch. We also got a nice bunch of Scandinavian people along with the Icelandic people that merged with us cause their guild didn’t fulfill their wishes on activity basis.

Currently we’re looking for social and active people for both PvE and PvP (mainly WvW)

We can offer you:

• Teamspeak server
• Website for all the cool stuff
• A 300+ member solid and nice family
  We got a few rules:

• You shall not harass other members on purpose.
• Do not tarnish the guild’s reputation by displaying a bad attitude to players not from our guild.
• If members are found not to be representing [eMoa] for an extended period of time, they may be kicked without notice.
• Foremost, have fun and keep the spirits high!

Visit us on our website or give me a whisper ingame
Or check out our recruitment video! 720p for awesomeness!
Tl;dr? then we are not the guild for you!

Will you get a birthday present once your character exists for 1 year?

yes pleeaaaseee

No, we dont want mounts

brokenserenity.4638:

They have last time logged into game on gw1 so why they didnt add it to gw2 is a mystery, then again i’d have been happy if they just added everything from gw1’s guild panel alongside any new additions but it would seem that like many other features gw1 had it didnt make the transition for some reason or other(guildhalls i can understand them not implimenting yet as they probably want to figure out a way to make them cooler than gw1’s halls), the lack of guild v’s guild is the biggest issue though as the game is called guild wars yet there are none.

Totally agree but gw2 is not made the same way as gw1 is so you can’t really just copy things but yeah im 100% sure that there are possible solutions for the guild panel. Also ive read some interview with izzy that they will probably not add gvg in the game but i could be wrong about this cause izzy said that these game modes (gvg and ha) did not make gw2 because they didnt want to have too many gamemodes due to balancing reasons. But I still hope they will add GvG in GUILD WARS 2 or they could just rename the game

I would love this aswell, even stated this in my own thread a month ago https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/GW1-aspects-weapon-skins-dyeable-options/first

Rika.7249:

Best solution is to make Commanders unable to show their icons outside of wvwvw.
Then everybody’s happy.

The commandes who use their icon for meta events won’t behappy people can also ignore it no? Its not really doing anything to your gameplay experience

emikochan.8504:

i’d love to be able to hug etc, it seems very annoying I can’t even target a wave at someone.

/wave @ , that waves at your selected target.

My guild hits the 400 people but I think 500 people is a nice cap, we don’t have all 400 online in a week. Many ppl quit for a while or just never represent so we got some people to clean up too

Approved by me, as a commander being it really hurts seeing a random guy with commander icon that doesnt communicate in any way and do his thing while we are getting pushed hard. Those ppl just drag defenders away or a 100% failure mission to attack and in the meanwhile losing all your stuff

Mesmer is the worst pve class for obtaining guild in meta events like grenth etc, or anywhere in orr. If there are more then 3 ppl at the event its nearly impossible to tag mobs for drops due to the lack of aoe etc. fix pl0x. I dont want to reroll a guardian/ele for farming

This cap is done so not everyone in one server get sucked in these big guilds. And I’m pretty sure you don’t get 300+ ppl online at same timespan or even a week. Correct me if I’m wrong but I on’t think raising the cap has any priorities yet

Although it’s a bad idea that commander rank can be purchased with only 100g I don’t think that changing it to badges of honor is a smart thing to do because as being a commander myself I use all my badges for siege and really saves me money although I still have to spend lots of gold buying siege. And if u make the commander rank available for 1k badges that would freak me out personally, not that it is not obtainable but siege-wise. But yeah arenanet pls change the 100g books

Anonymous The Spy.2491:

I’m finding it a bit weird that you are not notified about friend requests or guild invites in the same way you get party invites.
As I don’t really like the idea of someone adding me and knowing where I am and my online status without my consent.

Also it just becomes a bit annoying when you have a list of pending contacts and your can’t remember where you met these people.
And if you don’t check your contact or guild page for pending invites the list can get quite long.

Battlenet has this same problem and not sure why it is done this way.

Also it would be nice to be able to set contact notes so you can remember why you added people. Like “this guy is good at Dungeons” and this other guy “helps me with jumping puzzles” etc etc.

For the last part, right click the player and set nickname to for instance dungeon master

You can’t be srs about this =\

Everything thats mentioned already but mostly I miss arenanet the most. Arenanet has changed drastically on things they should’ve kept and didn’t change on things they had to change on (for instance account termination support whichis still a total joke) their philosophy Changed from making players happy and providing them a fun game to play into trying to earn as much money as possible out of a b2p game and offering the players a not even close to finished game. It feels like im playing in the alpha stage. And frustrating them every time with their promises which they will undoubtedly break again. Please bring back the old Arenanet, the caring Arenanet. The Arenanet I can be proud of and could brag about to my friends but now I’m just ashamed if I’d do that

As a guild leader of eMoa I strongly approve. Also make the treasure vault and deep cave seperate permissions. And actually edit the motd instead of retyping evrything when you edit it.

This staff, nuff said and fixes the whole problem if you add this.

I like the armor skins but the female norn doesn’t really fit the ‘heavy’ concept in your picture? Nevertheless nice work and you got my approval

I agree with you EliteZ but the reason why I mentioned gw1 stuff is simply because the skins were way better. My point in this suggestion was to add more skins and features and in this case gw1 skins cause they’re better at least. But yeah more skins please

Yes please, very annoying

I wonder if any Anet dev’s have any confirmation about any of these things. Anyone knows perhaps?

Far Shiverpeaks can offer you the best gameplay experience, join in the fun now!

[eMoa] approves Far shiverpeaks

Also, I really really want to get the guild capes back! they were such a nice feature to your guild in guild wars 1 and imo it would fit well in gw2 too

plarzmo.5930:

Well, in the case of losing the real skin just implement ‘polish removers’.. I didn’t play GW1 so I am unfamiliar with the crafting/dying system. I just dislike the idea of using Dye because… dying wood or metal rather than fabric doesn’t seem right, that’s why I said polish.

But what do you mean by polishing ?

plarzmo.5930:

I agree with the weapon coloring idea. Maybe they should make it so we can customize the weapons. Like, have recipes that make different style banding, that can be colored with dyes… Or have artificers make polishes that can be applied… Just some thoughts.

I think the best is to have it the same as guild wars 1 had, just make every weapon dyeable but like certain end game skins only a small area like the color of the haft or something like that so that the real ‘skin’ doesnt go lost with dye-ing it

They have no choice

I would like to see this, so much easier to wipe out the inactives.

Also bring chaos gloves back please :>

Ah yeah I’d really like to see some more gw1 armor skins too, elite kurzick black and white <3

I really miss the old guild wars one skins in the game, like Bone Dragon staff and obsidian edge and all that sort of skins. It would be so cool to bring some more gw1 aspects like those skins into gw2 cause imo gw2 has alot of flaws because it wants to stand out too much at being an ‘unique’ game. Bring back the good stuff from gw1 into this game and it will be so much better. What I also think this game lacks is the possibility to dye your weapons like in guild wars one, not only will this increase character customization to be different but also the feeling of looking epic! I hope I’m not the only one thinking this way. Also bring back guild capes!

Agenteusa.6380:

This patch has ‘complete lack of communication’ written all over it…from where to go and how to participate in the event, to responses of player concerns regarding the BIG changes to the game.

~

Dude, they released almost all the info 2 weeks prior to the event. all the quest logs were clear and concise on what to do next. I don’t understand where the lack of communication was. Did you even bother to check the forums if you had any doubts about anything?

And please don’t reply to me saying “Oh but I’m playing the game, why should I need to go to the forums?”

Again all was clear and concise , what wasn´t clear was the rewards but hey, they passed the message UNIQUE and ONE TIME so at least it should get people interested cause personally the event sucked in terms of fun.

I’m playing the game, why should I need to go to the forums?

That wasn’t really the deal here, all was very clear and you always have people shouting in map chat where to go, the topic was about those precursors who dropped like candy not about communication. Arenanet stated that they would do something about the precursors being ‘out of reach’ for the most players and this was intentionally done by them, however I don’t think they had in mind the trial players could get their hands on them so easily

JK Arrow.7102:

If it makes anyone feel any better, I have roughly 450 hours in and I have never gotten an exotic drop other than one of the <80 ones you get for zone clears. Never an exotic drop. Ever.

I have played over 650 hours and still no exotic drop, so yeah… I don’t mind arenanet handing out these precursors like this but come on, to trial people? really?

Better give me one

Now looking for people for our Core WvWvW team! contact me ingame or leave a reply

Yes, 5 guilds is max

Move this thread to the proper section: suggestions

Our Black Bird Cuts Itself [eMoa] is recruiting! We are a guild back in Guild Wars 1 and mainly focussed on PvP there (thats also why we have this guild name because of the black moas in Gw1) Currently we are still doing everything, mainly dungeons to get geared up and might go full WvWvW/sPvP. Right now we are setting up a team/some teams for WvWvW and we might form a team for tournaments in spvp later.
