Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

We are [FREE] – Freedom or Death on Gandara!

Please, go see our introduction video at www.FreedomOrDeath.tk – scroll to the bottom after any news posts that may be at the top. It’s 2 minutes and available on YouTube.

We’re an international English-speaking guild with friendly, active and social guild members. Our main goal in the guild is to have FUN together! We have members with very different skill levels; ranging from almost completely inexperienced in the game to really experienced players- everyone is welcome.

ACTIVITIES

We have planned guild events every day, usually in the evenings, as well as many other spontaneous guild activities. We are active in all parts of the game, with our main focus being PvE. Some of our guild events and activities are for example:

• Dungeons (very popular in FREE!)
• Raids! Lots!
• We have lots of members with Beta access, and our guild hall will grow rapidly
• We normally lead and command world events if possible
• Fractals
• WvW
• Forum on GuildLaunch (bought and paid for, no commercials)
• Own Teamspeak server with 100+ slots
• Jumping Puzzles
• Guild missions – everything is unlocked of course.
• Meta events
• sPvP – we have own PvP server
• Killing Tequatl and other world boss events
• Living Story
• Beta events and new things added to the game.

We also try to keep guild chat clean, and to maintain a friendly atmosphere. We have stable guild management who have been around since GW2 beta, and lots of old GW1 players.

Contact us in-game for more info or for joining the guild.

Same issue at Kyuuketsuki.2675 above. We suddenly can only build one upgrade at a time, we’re BLEEDING influence because we have to force build upgrades

[FREE] guild on Gandara, 200+ members who monthly login. Fully upgraded guild.

Would be wonderful with an influence reimbursement after this is fixed.

Verificus: Yes, that’s the issue we all have. When you’re affected by the lag, you’ll see that in your guild window. (BLTC/TP is offline for me when I have the problem)

I played most of Friday night without issue, but Saturday (tonight) is killing. DC, DC, lag, DC, DC. Straight into EVE Online, no lag.

Dayra, good suggestion! Join the league that fits your schedule.

What servers are you guys from, and do you think you have the problem? I’m from Gandara and we definitely do have the problem.

Dragan, excellent and constructive idea. +1.

Okay, so because you’d potentially have to move to EU servers to play WvW with some actual people instead of empty servers this idea is no good?

We’re trying to figure out a way to solve a hugely demotivating problem which impacts all servers in WvW and this is what stops it for you? Try to be a bit more constructive and imaginative :-)

If we could get ArenaNet to realize this is a huge problem for people we may even get a world transfer for free to better fit your time zone.

I personally wouldn’t like just playing WvW during night when most people logged off anyway.

Well, I guess either Europe or NA matches your needs? I don’t see why 6 hours of nighttime on EU or NA servers would impact you that much? Explain please.

Well tough, go play on your own servers :-)

Hey,

First, thanks for a great game :-)

It seems like the way to win the season is to get some US guild to change to your server, so these guilds can color the maps your color while your opponents sleep. This undoes all the good work the players did during the day – that design could be better :-)

Other games have things like “night protection” where your resources are frozen until the next day. I could imagine a stack of Legendary defenders walking out into the map during night to hold the keeps and then leave in the morning. It doesn’t even have to be 8 hours, just something like 6 so it’s not so easy to color the entire map using American guilds.

Edit for clarification: The idea is to have night protection during US night for US servers, and protection for EU servers during EU night time.

Thanks for considering a solution to this.

See https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Put-the-Guild-back-in-Guild-Wars-2/first for my attempt to suggest the same 7 months ago :-)

Faux Play: From what you say, you see the “extra guilds” as simply extra storage slots? I’m pretty sure that was never the intention from Arena Net. You’re not meant to ever represent another guild for “storage purposes”.

I understand what you’re saying and why you’re saying it, but this is about getting back to having awesome guilds and not the semi-kinda-half-good things we’re stuck with right now.

Hey Betonboor (concrete drill??)

Thanks for your support! I’ve rectified my list above and added your suggestion, that one slipped my mind but I thought about it many a time.

Doesn’t seem like it’s bothering as many as I would have hoped. If you feel the above ideas could be important for guilds, please let your voice be heard in this thread.

Hey guys,

Long time player, ever since GW1 – and THANK YOU for the best game I played for years and years!!

Here’s a few thoughts on what would help the guild leaders and guild management team a lot. It’s a random bundle of ideas based on my experiences with guilds in GW2 so far:

1. Give the guild leader / mgmt team more insight into how the players are doing. For each player in the guild the following information would be relevant: Last login time, time representing during the last week, % of time representing in this guild (% spent in others), # of influence contributed to guild during last running week.
2. Ability to set a guild to exclusive mode, i.e. a mode that only allows a player to be a member of that guild.
3. Better support for a few guild notes – the current take pretty much says “See the forum for the real stuff” for all the guilds I ever belonged to. Not much use, get rid of it, or improve it. Small wiki like thing with max 10 pages would be awesome.
4. More icons for guild ranks (there are quite few).
5. Create an API for guild stats, so guild websites could provide statistics on players etc. As a modern game creator this is almost a must :-)
6. Officer / mgmt channel for guilds
7. “Rent a room” – for guild meetings etc. Doesn’t need to be decorated guild halls or anything, just rent a room for a guild in say LA where people are all in same instance (no 5 player cap)
8. Message of the Day is more visible when logging in to the game. A pop up, a print of it in each players chat etc.

Cheers and thanks for the game again!
