Guild Wars 2

Nvm you found me in-game. All is well with the world lol

Glad to know that you guys are roughly on the same clock as I am haha And I’m not too into WvW myself unless others really wanna drag me into it. If I were to transfer, would I go to TC or GoM? Has a physical guild been established yet?

Salutations!
Your building of a new guild intrigues meeeee.
I also do not have Steam. I am lame like this.

I’ve just returned to GW2 after a 2 year break after my original guild disbanded (I still need to download HotT /cry). We were a very close-knit guild so finding another online family to call home again is a wonderful notion. I’ve been a part of GW2 since Beta and used to play as ‘hardcore’. I used to play a ton of PVE and Fractals (my prefered areas of interest) with a few dungeons under my belt, although, I feel like I’d be a bit fuzzy on some of these details – I would need to review how-to’s and Youtube vids again before traversing this territory with relative ease.

My current jobs, however, have pushed me into the casual to semi-hardcore category (depending on the week’s schedule and deadlines). I suppose the most pressing question I’d have is if this guild is centered around casual, semi, hardcore, or open for any player type? I would love to join but would be forced to be casual most weeks. I could be your veteran player sitting on a lawn chair yelling at people to get off of their lawn.

I am also willing to jump plains of existence to be on your server (currently DarkHaven).

I am also, also on most evenings midnight-3am Central Mon-Thurs and can be found at any random time Fri-Sun, if that’s a thought of curiosity.

Either way good luck with your guild forming and thank you for reading the slight rants of a crazed artist.

Or how about an abnormal love for legendaries

As for the whole economy and money system I believe it needs work as well but that’s for another topic :P I guess why I included the gold part was my frustration in having my precursor be almost 600g (and rising over time) and thinking “how in the world am I going to be able to save 600g?” I know it can be done … but for how long is what I’m worried about. I don’t want to wait ages to complete my legendary when cheats run around with them; but thank you legit legendary users for doing your thing

I agree, even though I understand the premise behind adding them to TP, as it is to allow the casual player to the ability to gain a legendary. .

Legendaries arn’t a requirement to play this game, so it shouldn’t be something a “casual” player can buy, literlly. There are too many games out there that just make endgame (skins being gw2 endgame, not a bad system actually) with a purchase price. There things should be worked for, especially if they are only optional and offer no real benefit other than to look cool. Some things are fine to be bought but for how awesome legendaries sound and some look, they arn’t living up to their title the way they are now.

Removing their TP value would be a start but future legendaries need some adventure or story to be told while getting it, not melting metals and some dungeon items and “lavateh las manos! you got a legendary!” World completion requirement for legendaries was a great idea but everything else is just grinded or bought. Sure it takes time, but I’m sure many who don’t want to work on a legendary choose to because it would mean spending weeks/months grinding for items that would bore them half way and just give up.

The other day one of my guild mates said they ran across a guy who said he was working towards map completion … and he was wielding Twilight. Anet did mention that they were going to have some sort of quest line for precursors but more than likely far off into the distant future.

One could argue that making the several thousand gold coins to buy a legendary from the TP requires hard work as well, but I can not express how many times I’ve heard of or talked to people who make that amount of money at an ungodly pace; this makes me wonder if they made their gold illegally. I spend hours farming day after day and have no idea how someone can legally make that kind of money so quickly. People will have their methods, regardless how it’s done, I just know that my gold farming ways are done correctly which makes this all the more frustrating.

Well, by “ungodly pace” I am not quite sure what you mean. But with just around 8 FotM runs I can net 10g. Give or take a few. Then, if I bothered farming the BLTC again, I could generate at the very least a 5% increase in my total gold daily. Some people can even do 50% on a very lucky day. (And very little gold to start with, obv. :P )
So lets say I do 15 FotM runs a day and get around 20g out of that. After 5 days, even if I started from 0 I’d already be generating 10 additional gold coins from the BLTC daily. (Increasing every day.)
It wouldn’t take too long to gain huge amounts of gold totally legit.

lol I mean like when a person farms and gets like super amounts of gold in a day. Kind of hard for me to say in amounts of gold – I’m just familiar with knowing people who get very expensive items or tons of expensive materials within a blink of an eye, pretty much literally! Which makes it look really shady … And yes I can get about 20g in a day if a really sit down and don’t have anything in RL distracting my time. It’s the acquiring gold at an alarming rate, not the natural way of which you speak! :P

A shout out to Anet and those with similar concerns -

I am absolutely in love with GWII and have dedicated a very large amount of time into playing this game. I’ve spent a bit of real life money for gem store items, have even bought your ‘Edge of Destiny’ novel and look forward to buying the other book as well, upon everything else the in-game world has to offer. What tops everything is my quest to obtain the legendary greatsword, Sunrise. I have spent endless hours farming, crafting, and hunting dragons to achieve this goal …

Although there have already been many voiced concerns on legendary specific issues, such as precursor drop rate, I knew what I was getting into when beginning this quest, so I can’t complain! What I do find unreasonable and utterly frustrating is the fact that people are buying legendaries off of the trading post. How can you tell the legit, hardworking legendary users from the none? You can’t. One could argue that making the several thousand gold coins to buy a legendary from the TP requires hard work as well, but I can not express how many times I’ve heard of or talked to people who make that amount of money at an ungodly pace; this makes me wonder if they made their gold illegally. I spend hours farming day after day and have no idea how someone can legally make that kind of money so quickly. People will have their methods, regardless how it’s done, I just know that my gold farming ways are done correctly which makes this all the more frustrating.

I hope and don’t mean to drag on if I am! In fact I never wanted to write this letter in the first place, but it’s just become too much of a concern for me and those in my guild also questing hard for their legendary. Therefore, please, please strongly consider taking away to option of buying legendaries off of the TP. What’s to motivate the rest of us hardworking legendary users when many others either dump tons of real life money into gems, turned into gold, or illegally purchase gold? Making a legendary is supposed to show that you, the user, have mastered every area of the game and got a super awesome weapon to prove it. To simply buy it off of the TP completely goes against this founding idea.

I am already so close to obtaining Sunrise, but now the thought of actually having it isn’t so pleasing.

lmao that video was hilarious – and I’d totally crap my pants if I saw a golem in the dark room :P dark room was already scary … now you’re just doing overkill lol

Getting a legendary isn’t supposed to be easy. If you get this wrecked over a few mishaps that don’t go your way in the JPs, then I suggest you rethink about that legendary. How about making it more favorable on your behalf and getting a bunch of people in the JPs with you to help counter the attack.

Salutations GWII players!

I wasn’t very keen on the idea of posting on the GWII forums to look for a guild, and although I’ve been doing research for potential guilds, it’s a little difficult as not all guilds post on the web. So I felt as though it might be a good idea to post here as well as continue my research…

A friend and I are looking to represent a new guild as ours has grown low in active members. There is also the potential of having others from our old guild join with us, but that’s up in the air. The story behind looking for a new guild is a long, drama-filled one so that’s a telling for another time. Basically, a few of us are tired of drama and people loosely using the term “tight-knit family guild” – not to mention half of our player base went back to WoW leaving the rest of us on GWII. My friend and I are pretty much the only true active members now despite years of playing with one another. Suffice to say we both agree that it’s become boring and lonely without others to talk to, as well as becoming tired of trying to hold the group together. ):

Looking for -

~ casual to semi-hardcore PvX
~ a larger, active player base (fell in love with a few smaller guilds but we need the larger player base for dungeons etc.)
~ members that might be on at all times of the day
~ I’m personally questing diligently for a legendary and my friend for whatever he’s into (he’s an alt junky) would love to have a guild that offers help with that (ex. guild banners, others that might be farming karma, dungeons, etc.)
~a guild that doesn’t loosely use the term “family guild”
~casual, friendly, and easy-going but still has the drive and heart of a true gamer
~free brownies on Fridays
~voice chat

Might be a long list but when you’re looking for that perfect guild, there’s no need to settle.

Who we are -

~ super friendly, easy-going, and love to help others – we also actively participate in PvP, WvWvW, dungeons, farming, etc.
~ active loyal membership (aka we’re not going to guild jump lol)
~ I’m a lvl 80 Warrior currently questing for legendary
~ My friend, being the alt junky he is, currently has two lvl 80’s and a third in it’s 50’s.

I’m not sure what else to say :U Guess it’s time to break out the dance moves. /dance

Dustfinger.9510:

i liked it. it deserved both +1’s that i gave it

Oh, thank you!

I couldn’t really make out what was on the cover, but that didn’t interest me as what was inside. I flipped open the book and spread my fingers through its yellowed pages. Word after word, page after page, I read the same thing – “Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.” What WAS this? Keeping the book open I looked up at the creature, puzzled. It gestured again behind it where an old, ornate table sat. It was surrounded by many ghostly, transparent figures all with different identities. Some had leaves like me, others were very small, and others yet were very tall with hair covering their whole body. They stared at me as if waiting.

“They need it.” The Shadow said. I assumed it meant the book. Slowly, I walked past the creature and to the table. I was hesitating putting down the book, for their eyes looked hungry with anger, grief, and sorrow, but I made myself give it up. Setting the book down on the table, I stepped back and watched what the apparitions would do next. One after one each of them sat down and wrote the word “Goodbye.”. I sat down on a nearby rock and waited, watching.

After what seemed liked hours the creature approached me and said, “It’s your turn.” Mine? But why did I have to write such a word? Sensing my discomfort it spoke again. “Each of them is gone now, they needed to say ‘goodbye’. Now, it’s your turn.”
I jumped to my feet, a swarm of boiling urgency and anger swelled within my gut.

“NO!” I shouted taking several steps away from the Shadow. It stayed where it was, its faceless form watching me. “I will not say goodbye!” I didn’t know what this was – what was going on? Who were these apparitions? Who was this Shadow? Questions swirled through my mind making me miss sight of the sky turning a violent gray. The air grew and tumbled through the broken walls of the temple.

I had to get out of here – but I didn’t even know where ‘here’ was! How would I escape? I began to panic and frantically look for a way out. My eyes locked onto the desk where the book was. A new figure sat there. Unlike the others, it was whole and complete. Like me, he bore leaves for skin. I couldn’t see his face, for his back was turned to me, but I could see him picking up a pen, ready to write in the book.

“DON’T WRITE IT!” I shouted, trying to scream above the noise of the howling wind. I tried again but it was useless, he couldn’t hear me.

“The Nightmare was too much for him.” The Shadow said. “And now he has to write in the book.” Is that what had happened to the others? Did this ‘Nightmare’ devour them as well? I must have been devoured too, I thought, if I am supposed to write the word as well. I perked up with clenched fists at my side. I wasn’t going to give up. I would save him and we would both escape this place.

“You won’t take us!” I yelled toward the Shadow. It laughed. “Why must we say ‘goodbye’?”

The creature paused for a moment, as if thinking of the right words to say. “For him, it was because he had a Dream but had nothing to sustain and support him through it. For you…” But before it could finish thunder rolled and lightning struck the ground between us.

A dreary spell began to fall upon me and I tried to fight it off, but couldn’t. As I began to drift off into a deep sleep I watched as the world around me began to fold in upon itself and begin disappear.

“Who are you?!” I managed to shout, fighting to stay, but it was no use – I was being pulled away. Before I was taken, I heard the creature say ‘I am Zhaitan’.

End – I’m sorry ; lul if you read all of this you get a gold star!

Thanks for making a forum of this – they’re always fun to participate in btw I’m sorry mine’s long – I got carried away writing it. It was too much fun! lol So I have to do two posts )’:

Warrior – Noon Cycle – Female

I am not sure when I became aware of myself, but when I did, I felt a warm breeze brush against my skin and sweep through my hair. The air carried with it the smell of a sea and it made lungs breathe in and crave more. The darkness before began to fade and my eyes, although closed, began to tighten, straining from something above. Some preexisting knowledge told me that it was “sunlight”. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Blinded, I stumbled upward using something firm and jagged as a support. As my hands tightened around the formation, their abstract forms began to slowly show more clarity. Bright hues of pink, blue, and green rushed into my eyes making me feel uneasy for a moment or two. Coral … coral … I thought this word over and over again while staring at it. I’m not sure why, perhaps it was the dizziness one gets after awakening making one do all sorts of crazy things.

Feeling satisfied that it was indeed coral, I lifted a hand to shade my eyes and gazed upward at the noon sky. It was beautiful. I took in another deep breadth of the salty air wondering what this place was. My feet firmly planted themselves in the loose dirt and I broke free of my coral companion. I no longer felt dizzy, and I was glad of that, because a sudden need for adventure gave me a burst of energy. Surveying the land, I took notice of its many ruins. They toppled low and spun up high nearly touching the clouds themselves. The landscape was covered with coral and silvery hills of earthen rock. For some reason, this made me sad. This place … it was weeping. It made me want to cry myself.

“Why do you cry?” A voice called out to me. I turned around looking for this messenger.

“Cry? But I wasn’t –.” Surprised, I touched my cheek feeling something wet and warm crawl down and onto my fingertips. I was crying.

“Come here.” The voice beckoned. And I called out ‘where to’. Although it gave no answer, I did become aware of the formation that was next to me – the very one who’s coral had supported me earlier. I gazed upward at a towering spiral – a tower nearly covered in coral and seaweed. Although noticeably weathered and ancient it still loomed with a formidable presence. The voice called again, and this time, I took notice that it was from above. Looks like I needed to climb in order to find that which beckoned me.

Gradually, I found foot holes and firm placements until I found myself at the summit of the tower. My messenger stood before me. Whatever it was, it was tall and filled with shadows that moved and breathed like fire. Its face was not visible. Bony arms lifted from its side and held out before me a heavy, leather-bound book. I hesitated, not knowing what to do. I was still deciding whether or not to be frightened by this creature. Patiently, the form moved the book closer, gesturing that I indeed take it. I held my breath as I grasped the spine of the book with one hand and placed the other under it. The creature released its hold and I drew it near.
