Proposal Overview
More detailed permissions for members.
Goal of Proposal
Give guild leaders and officers more permissions to use when controlling what rights and privileges members of your guild has..
Proposal Functionality
In the “Ranks” tab, add more options in permissions such as:
-Allow [rank] to activate guild Missions (In the open world, once the consumable has been activated. This will help avoid new or inexperienced guild members triggering the event before the guild is ready.)
-Allow [Rank] to display your guild tag, (Useful for making sure new members don’t give your guild a bad reputation, having to earn the right to display to others that you are a [guild_tag here] will make sure it’s a privilege that can be taken away if you behave badly and represent your guild in a poor manner.)
- Allow [Rank] to Invite new member. (Separate this from “Admin Lower Ranks” so a recruiter rank does not have to be the lowest possible rank in the roster, it’s kind of insulting to the people who wanna help grow your guild to have them below everyone else.)
- Allow [Rank] to represent other guilds. (This is sort of a big one. I believe it should be each guilds choice whether or not they allow or disallow representing other guilds. In my guild we have a compromise, we allow it for certain activities that we ourselves do not partake in. Such as WvW, Tequatl/wurm runs and etc. Currently we moderate this by keeping lists and giving warnings to members who do not seek permission first. This whole system would be much more manageable if we could simply give the permission to certain ranks.)

Proposal Overview
Add more useful information to the roster interface.
Goal of Proposal
Make the roster interface a tool to help guild leaders and officers to manage their members.
Proposal Functionality
Add useful information to the roster tab interface such as:
Been a Member for X days
Been [rank] for X days.
Represented your guild for X% of their playtime.
Been online for X hours over past 4 weeks.
<What risks or problems can you foresee with this proposal which you would like to have assistance on from other members of the CDI>

Proposal Overview
Guild Message of the day Notification upon changed MoTD
(Making this suggestion as all other MOTD suggestions I saw only mentioned showing the message every time someone logs in which I feel is unnecessary. Every time the MotD changes, or a new player who hasn’t seen it yet logs in, is enough.)
Goal of Proposal
Keeping guild members informed of current events.
Proposal Functionality
Everytime a player logs in do a check, has this player had a notification for the current MotD displayed yet? If no, display it. If yes don’t.

I shall also drop a quick thanks to the devs. I rarely ever post on the offical forums but I want to say that this is the type of dev communication that we desperately need more of. And with more I don’t mean just more often. More openness about why changes was made will allow us to, if not agree with, at least understand your point of view.
That being said I am still severely disappointed with this feature pack, I dislike the majority of the new features and couldn’t give a kitten about the rest of them personally. I think you are taking the game in a bad direction both for yourself and your long time fans, where you seem to put more emphasize on cheap skinner box psychology to retain players rather then focusing on what’s actually fun for your current players.
To a certain degree I can understand this, retaining new players is important for your buisness but like many others I also feel like after 2 years if the veteran players are not a priority for you guys then perhaps I will move on. This feature pack shows you’re not really interested in keeping me as a player, but would rather churn me out and get fresh meat for the grinder. If this patch had come a year ago it could have been understandable, but focusing on brand new players in a 2 year old game where there has been little real end game content ever added to the game just goes to show how much interest you guys actually have in retaining those players who stuck with you for so long already. This makes me sad. Ask yourselfs, what was the last real endgame PvE content you added to the game? Dungeons are a joke for experienced players, even fractals lvl 49 are easy (And still has bad rewards for the effort spent on them). Where is the truly challenging end game content for your hardcore players? There is none. Never was, and in 2 years you haven’t thought to add any. But for new players you completely revamp the leveling system at this point in the games life span.
To quote a favorite tv-show of mine. “Because our friendship is fundamentally asymmetrical. I clearly like you more than you like me.”
The achievement “Leave No Survivors” can not always be completed due to the enemy npc “Veteran Assassin” at one of the traps either spawning inside the wall or the ground and then disappearing making this traps impossible to complete. This occurred 8 out of the 9 times I attempted this achievement.
Edit: After leaving the map and then returning before entering the story instance again this bug seems to not occur anymore, I’m not sure what caused it to trigger the first 8 or so times I attempted this achievement but after rezoning I did not get the bug again.

Why has this not been fixed yet? It’s been going on for months and months. Does anet even read these bug forums at all? How can a simple issue like this be allowed to persist.
Yea this bug has been here now for going on 3 months(that I can remember) and not even a word on it from the devs. I wouldn’t hold my breath, doesn’t seem like Anet cares to fix this.
Uh…this is Fractals.
There are no Waypoints…
There are Checkpoints that are unlocked based on the group’s progress, but given the short distance covered by this map, I don’t even see that being necessary.
You can only revive at a checkpoint when the entire party is dead and/or out of combat.
Read the thread, we don’t get a pop up to restart from checkpoint at wipe. It just tells you to respawn at a checkpoint.
Yea. We’re stuck as well. It says “return to waypoint” But there’s no waypoints in fractals and we don’t get a “restart from checkpoint” pop up either.
Having the same problem a month later. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, managing guilds is hard enough with the lackluster information of the guild interface.
So was trying to use the leaderboards, specifically the achievements section, and they are all kinds of screwed up. Sorting by my guild shows me random people from a bunch of random servers, sometimes sorting by my guild shows me the friends list. It’s all over the place, what’s up? (tried in 3 different browsers and confirmed with several friends who are experiencing the same issue)
Hello,
Since the beginning of the game we’ve been running a small guild. Activity as of late has dropped too much for comfort however and a few of the core members are now looking for a new home, not yet sure how many(between 2-6 most likely). We are based in Aurora Glade and have no interest in changing servers. We like Aurora Glade and feel loyal towards it.
We are looking for a medium sized guild with between 70-100 people and a concurrent activity of at least 30-40 members during prime times. The guild should be centered around the gmt 0/1/2 time zones. We like PvE as well as WvW and your guild should have members with interest in both.
We don’t want any guild that takes itself too serious, if you require us to be online x/x hours a day or something like that we’re not interested. We play on a daily-semi daily basis but sometimes life just comes first and u need to be able to be away for a few days.
The most important part is the people, we are looking for fun, active and most importantly social people to have fun with.
You can contact me either here in this thread, via pm or ingame at Senatic.8265 and we can talk more.

There’s a lot of crap I’ll just shrug off, like the Arah event being bugged for weeks, the bots running rampant, the weird crafting economy where selling the item is worth less then selling the materials it took to make it, the slow response in fixing culling, the ridiculous exotic pre cursor prices that are inflated by gold buyers buying them and selling them on their sites.
But if this is turning into a WoW clone where we will have to keep getting the strongest items with every other content patch then I’m sorry but I’m out. That is something I never thought I’d say, but that’s where my line is.
Still looking for more people, contact me via pm on this forum or in game if you’re interested!
Order of the Forgotten[LOST] started out as a small guild of friends enjoying the game together. As the game matures we’re starting to take up a interest in WvW and our small group of players is now limiting what we can do in this area of the game. We do not feel that disbanding and becoming lost in the sea of a WvW guild is the right answer, we like the smaller atmosphere as well as the casual and laid back schedule we currently enjoy. We also don’t want to focus purely on one area in the game, so although the reason we are now looking for more players is to be able to accomplish more in WvW we also spend a lot of time in PvE doing our own things or doing Dungeons. Our target goal for the moment is to have about 20 or so members with an interest in WvW, we feel this number is sufficient to achieve most things we want to be able to do and small enough to keep more of a personal atmosphere in the guild. We want to be able to hear your ideas and your thoughts, we don’t want you to be just a name on the roster.
What you can expect from us:
- A small personal and casual environment where we play for fun.
- Relaxed schedule, if you don’t wanna play for a few nights that’s quite alright.
- Dungeons/WvW when we feel like it, there will rarely be a schedule.
- We will always provide some sort of VOIP service, currently we have a TS3 server.
- Adults who have no qualms about joking around and being a little silly.
- Prime time is evenings and weekends.
- People somewhat new to organized WvW group play, we’re learning as we go.
What we expect from you:
- You speak decent English and have a microphone.
- You live in or around the GMT+1 time zone.
- You are not in any other guild. (Exceptions might be made on individual basis)
- You’re in this guild to help it grow and make it a fun environment.
- You are at least 20 years of age.
- You are able to entertain yourself.
- You do not rely on others to start activities, if you’re bored you take the initiative yourself.
- You are not afraid to get to know new people.
- You are not afraid of voicing criticism. You want to solve problems, not avoid them.
- You are respectful in chat, we have guys as well as girls playing.
Last words.
We are currently playing on Aurora Glades, and although our server is not doing great in the rankings we have no intentions of leaving. Being the top dog is not a priority for us and it shouldn’t be for you either, we all want to win but we would rather see our server rise through the ranks by our combined efforts then to bandwagon to a better server like so many have done. We are not afraid to be the underdog and we like the challenge that that situation provides.
I have tried to describe our small guild as honestly as possible in these words so that you may gauge whether or not this would be a nice fit. As we recruit the dynamic of the guild will change but it is my hope that the spirit in which it exists now will be maintained. It started as a small group of friends, we hope it will become a larger group of friends.
If you are interested or would just like to know more contact me in game or via PM on this forum. We won’t make any hasty decisions, our primary goal is to have an environment everyone enjoys. To that end we might invite you to play with us to see how it works before a final decision is made.

I’m guessing this has come up a lot, but I did some searches and really couldn’t find much about it. So here, feel what I feel whenever I go into any kind of small space with my Norn.
Doing any jumping puzzle that takes place in a tight space with this guy makes me nauseated, I’m not saying that for dramatic effect, it literally does make me nauseated.
The recent patch which removed camera smoothing helped a little, but didn’t remove the problem. It only made it less frequent when in a open environment. Even in an open environment though, pressing up against objects and trying to jump up them has the camera spazzing in and out as shown in the video.
It is my hope that this thread brings some awareness of the problem to ArenaNet. I understand this problem might not take precedence over every other problem and only the developer has enough information to make those judgment calls, but we are now 2 months in to release and I was really hoping this sorta stuff would have been sorted out by now.
Sounds like a good idea to me. There needs to be some more tangible rewards for doing the dungeons, tokens are great and all but they are a long term goal, if there is a smaller goal it makes working for the dungeon armors in the long run more fun and interesting.
Lore says that Grenth is remains of old extinct race, grenth overthrew previous god of death and was bringing races to Tyria and is as old as dwayna, melandru, balthazar and others. Malchor was just spectacular sculptor that had extraordinary ability to look gods themselves without their aura blinding him. to me atleast thats the thing here.
Sorry you’ve misunderstood the lore.
Grenth was the youngest of the gods (until Kormir came along), he was born on Tyria – his mother Dwayna and his father a human sculptor.
Malchor also had no special ability to withstand the cost of looking on the gods, he did eventually go blind and even insane.
