Agreed. At the moment it won’t let you sell your item at vendor price or lower, what we really need is a minimum of 15% more (ie 5% listing and 10% cut). It is too easy to sell to someone an item for more than vendor but still end up making a loss.
Also, clear out the ‘old’ orders of lower than ‘minimum sell price’ (be it vendor or this suggestion), and don’t allow new orders under that value.
Just FYI. You can add friends using forum names as they are the account names or whatever they care called. You can also /w <account name> to send messages, and invite to guild using account names, even if the player is not online.
Definitely, there’s a lot wrong with guilds atm but this is one of the biggies. We were discussing this in my guild a couple of days ago and came up with the same basic idea. You should always see (or be able to subscribe to – on by default – via the chat tab) all your guild chats. They could be shown:
[WORM] Mul Tepaas: Hello (in guild ‘gold’ chat colour)
[DBG] Mul Tepaas: Hi DBG
Etc.
And I should be able to chat with all of them without changing represent, as bobyd has said:
/g <brings up the second box for...>WORM <third box for>Hi folks
Guild tags are only 4 characters max, so it’s not a huge deal to type. Note if you just type /g it should default to your last guild chat.
Also /gr could reply to the last guild message you see.
Make it so.
You can logout to character select screen, then log back in with that character, and you will be out of the WvW zone and back where you were standing originally.
Obviously because this is possible, they might as well have an Exit WvW button somewhere. It’s not like it would really change anything except save a couple of clicks.
So now that the newmatchups have happened, how badly is night capping wrecking your server?

Gunnar’s Hold: 33.5k

Augury Rock: 25.9k *
Seems this bracket is more balanced than our previous Desolation v FS v VZ
I understand the annoyance with queue times Jiiub, but moving to a new server doesn’t really fix the problem. At best you may get a few good days when you do get instant queues with all your friends, at worst it will improve the server coordination enough that everyone wants to queue for the winning side, and you end up in the same situation. Besides, though I know there are quick queues out there on some servers, those graphs posted the other day looked like most servers had reasonably big queues for most peak times anyway.
If queuing is a problem (and it obviously is) then it’s up to Anet to fix it. Yes, you should be able to queue as a party that joins as a group… Would this mean that when one of your team became the ‘head’ of the queue, it didn’t join that person until there was enough space to facilitate the whole group? That means a group of 20 (assume Anet adds this) trying to get in to one scenario would need to wait for 20 spaces, which means your server defences are down by up to 19 people while that last person waits for a spot. Maybe it should just mean that once one of your team starts popping into WvW, you’re guaranteed to go in one by one as spaces come up? It means that the server doesn’t lose defence while your team joins, but it also means you could be running around as half a group until more people leave.
Perhaps Anet underestimated the lure of WvW, and created battlegrounds that were too small, catering for a maximum number of people that is too far under what servers are trying to put out. In this case, they could just bump the max number of players in their server queue code, from x per server to x + 50 per server. That would have an immediate effect on queues though might still not go far enough.
Perhaps more visibility is key. Show how far you are in the queue (roughly) and how long the wait might be. Some form of trending graph perhaps. I really don’t know.
I’m sure they are trying to figure it out. It is a real shame that they didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen.
It is surprisingly frustrating that /quit and /logout (I would expect this to go to char select screen) do not work. Please add them.
Also I would like to see a /who <name> (or /whois) command, where it would give me some stats about the character. Since there seems to be no problem showing any ‘account names’ or whatever they are referred to as, it could include that:
/who Kor Bindalas
> Kor Bindalas (Rabidmax.4106), level 48 Human Guardian, Lions Arch (Desolation)
At the moment I end up ‘friending’ people at random which gives me some basic information, but it shouldn’t be a problem to add something like this. If the character is not currently online, it could just give a ‘Character not found’ error, though it might as well give the full stats since there isn’t really any confusion with names.
There are a lot more things that need slash commands, but most of them are emotes and would probably be better under an emotes post (/greet for example).
While you can insert filters, and say filter based on Armor→Gloves, you cannot currently specify Light/Medium/Heavy or that kind of thing.
And while you can filter based on level, it would be so much nicer to just go in, say ‘Armor’, ‘Usable’, [sort by level, descending]… to find all armor closest to your level.
As an additional suggestion, I would like to be able to right click on a piece of current armor that I am wearing, say my gloves, and choose ‘Browse for upgrades’, which would default all these filters to Armor→Gloves, Usable, Minimum Level = current item level + 1, rarity perhaps? that kind of thing.
Also yeah, we definitely need to be able to link/preview from the trading house. Currently it’s a real pain to say to a guildie ‘check out these gloves, want me to buy them for you?’
Quoting Nilco: “On FS we have 6-7 hours ques 16 hours a day, im getting tierd of it, and playing against VS every week dosent make it better, so I ask, how bout we all transfer to a server and make a guild? Combine forces from FS and Deso to make a new top tier server”
So I’ve read the thread and this confuses me a little. You are sick of being in a top tier bracket because VS is in there and the queues are huge? But if all the good PvP guilds transfer from FS and Desolation into a different server, all that will happen is that server will be boosted (maybe not immediately, but very quickly) into the top bracket… once again where VS will likely still be sitting waiting for you.
I get that you want shorter queues and of course transferring will get you that initially, but eventually either Anet will fix the queuing system in some way or your new server will start building up a backlog of people anyway.
Personally I like Desolation. I’ve met some nice people and have a bunch of IRL friends in guild. Sure we could all transfer for whatever reason (not sure they would for PvP) but we lose our guild progress (since each server has different influence and builds etc), and may end up in a server where the majority of map chat is in a foreign language or something. Plus Desolation is a great name for a server.
I would love to see and be part of a big Desolation WvW guild. Someone roll up ‘Desolation Border Guard [DBG]’ (or Patrol [DBP] or something) and recruit everyone. Due to being able to be in multiple guilds at the same time you can have a rather large pool at any given time of day to call on. Ask for silver donations to guild stash every week and representing in WvW at the minimum, and go from there?
Server transfers don’t seem like the answer to me is all. Though earlier I mentioned to a mate that I expect just before transfer go paid for all the power PvP guilds to jump into quieter servers…kittenI would hate to be right.
