Guild Wars 2

Apologies, if this is the wrong place for the topic.

I’m the guild leader of IONO. Our community is currently experiencing a sad time as one of our beloved members – a lady of gentle spirit and with a love of dad jokes – is currently in her final phase of a battle with the dragon cancer.

Thayla was very fond of Tyria, but perhaps nothing more so that the Skritt – with a particular fondness for Dawkurra. We would like to put up a memorial in her honour in the guild hall – and we will – but a tombstone or pillar seems inappropriate to her whimsy. Would you (the devs) be able to code something that looks like a Skritt statue (in the same vein as the world boss statues) that could be used for such a memorial?

TL;DR – Children of the Forgotten [IONO]; PvE/PvP Megaserver Guild for fun loving, older gamers who are casually hardcore. Dungeons/FotM/JPs/Events/FUN. Guild Missions Fridays or Saturdays depending on player population (minimum 10 required). 120 members strong and growing. TS3 enabled, but not required. 100% rep not required. Steam Forum enabled for mass communication.

Hi All,

I’m Uruz.7261, the leader of the Children of the Forgotten [IONO]. We’re a generally older group who considers themselves Casually Hardcore. We are primarily a PvE/PvP guild though we do have some small groups who organize for WvW on occasion.

What’s Casually Hardcore, you ask? Its for anyone who wants to challenge the hardest things but maybe can’t be active 100% of the time in order to do so with the “elite” groups. Or perhaps you love to play but your real life pressures (job, family, etc.) mean that you are aware from the game for a large stretch of time and those other guilds would remove you from the roster for inactivity. Well, we understand all of that. As I said, we’re older so we get that life gets in the way and should come first; but when the game is ready for you to come back, IONO would be waiting.

How old is older, you say? We have an average age range of upper 20s to low 50s. This means we have a lot of people who are the first generation of gamers (yes, that generation is that old <shudder>), so we understand roughly where you are in life circumstances. You will never be judged for missing a game night because your kids were being monkeys and wouldn’t get to bed on time. You’ll be teased; but not judged.

You have a sense of humour? That’s good, because we generally sass each other all night; be it in the guild chat or in the TS channel. The TS is encouraged but not required. We also have a steam group set up to share announcements, events and general planning.

Like what you read? Message me or some of my officers like TeknikRevolt.8245, AshG.1039, Willow.5126, King Arenth.8237, Altaro.6905 or evoles.3859 to get an invite.

Given that the guild bank needs to be accessed from a specific NPC (or a Guild Boon), I think you could somehow probably code it so that Beta characters can’t access those (pure speculation; I was an English/History major and I’m now a project manager, not a game dev/programmer or schooled in computer science by any stretch of the imagination).

I’m somewhat gratified to learn I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. Its somewhat ironic that a game named Guildwars wouldn’t let you play with your Guild during a big reveal.

Apologies upfront if this topic exists elsewhere.

With both of the previous two Beta events I was very excited to try out the new content, however I rapidly found that participating in the Beta meant I could not belong to my guild. In my case, I’m a guild leader and I like to be able to talk to my members, coordinate activities and partake as a group. Because the guild page was disabled on the Beta character, this core game experience was lacking and I felt that I was, sadly, unable to participate in the teaser.

I understand that the “new” guild functions would not be there but I should still be able to see my membership list and represent accordingly.

My two cents.
