Guild Wars 2

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

The short answer is that new content is not going to drive people away from the game. There is absolutely no evidence to support that it would.

The long answer is that guilds are indeed both social structures and reward mechanisms. We realize rewards can strain social connections and we do our best to prevent it. We want you to be able to play with your friends without feeling pressured by the game to spend your time doing otherwise. We’re still fine-tuning some details, but the general idea is that rewards from new guild content system are rate-limited in such a way that a smaller, more-focused groups can maintain a similar pace to the larger ones. So no, you won’t have to abandon your friends and join mega-guilds to benefit from the system, but that’s not to say the mega-guilds won’t have plenty of stuff to do.

I don’t want to go into too many more details until our team formally releases all of the information in our upcoming blog post. But I hope that helps for now.

whilst i understand what you have tried to implement here Anthony, the real problem with the new guild missions aren’t the actually missions but the means to unlock them. for instance i myself own a small guild which has only a 20man member base. however not many of those are online all the time so gaining the influence to unlock the tier 5 upgrades is at the best of times a pain in the <insert word here>. i have been trying to recruit but to no success, so I’m finding my guild is loosing members because as a guild we cannot unlock the 5th tier quick enough for the members to want to stay. maybe a system where the unlock cost is reflected by the guild size might help. because seriously 20k influence to unlock a 5th tier upgrade is a bit steep when we are earning about 100 influence a day.?!

ah okay didn’t know that ty

hi there,

something that has come to my attention is this ((and why I’m here posting i might add)). I’ve been trying to do my world completion but i must say I’m getting pretty fed up of having to map to each and every area to find out if i have completed it already. so…

this is my suggestion and also my request to the devs.

as per hard mode of guild wars 1 can we please get implemented some sort of visual notation on the world map dictating whether or not we (the player) have fully explored that map area already please.?

it could be something simple as changing the color of the area’s name from the yellowish gold to a blue? so when you look at the world map as a whole and say Queensdale’s name is shown if you have completed that area the name Queensdale is in blue and the yellowish gold if not.

hope that makes sense to all/any who reads this

and please feel free to comment.

Val.

here here Anet plese listen to this post. would be very nice.

can a moderator please close this thread. the devs have already said no mounts so why the big huhar. and if you don’t like it, then don’t play simple. but as i’ve said in a previous post about mounts. it’s to do with the LORE!!!!! they were not in guild wars lore. so why invent them just to make some people happy. no thank you. it would ruin the game in my eyes and no doubt many other peoples eyes too. so plese can someone put and end to this mount nonesence. thank you.

ah thats good to hear. like i said i don’t use the TP atm so i had no idea. but have the extremely vast orders of unsellable prices been taken off yet?

hi, i love the game load. never going to change. but i have a few bugs and gripes about the BLTP that makes me not want to use it.

firstly, is the pre patch offer orders still being there, thus lowering the whole econemy due to the wrong information being present. ie. sellers not really knowing what the projected price on items are to put to sell.

i would also like to see ((if it hasn´t already been done)) a Minimum buying price when placeing orders, so the TP doesnt get bogged down with uncompleteable orders.

also i don´t know what is the corse of this, but i never seem to be able to buy or sell anything since the TP doesn´t ever seem to want to load for me, yet for my wife it loads fine.

i know that these aren´t exactly major flaws but for me they take away the desire to use the tp atm. hopefully if the devs read this they might be able to comment and reply as to their thoughts on this situation.

hi again. s you know ive been having this problem also. and i have found a little bit of a solution. relog. make sure you click log out and not exit to desktop. if you relog ive found that the tp resets for you making it possible to buy and sell. just take note at times this can be a little slow due to in game populous.

yea i’ve been having this problem for the whole of yesturday and today. rather annoying tbh.

i whole heartedly agree with the minimum price to put things onto the TP for, really handy, but my only grip about it is, you’ve not removed the below minimum order requests, and they keep showing up. so please if you can reboot the TP or something and get rid of all the order requests and install a minimum order request price to go alongside the minimum sell price. would make alot of sence and be actually helpful to us crafters.

Mounts should not be in guildwars 2.
they were not in guildwars 1
and standing by the lore, they should not be put in all of a sudden because some random says “hey i want mounts!” we have waypoints as a means to traviel and i like it that way. i don’t want to go into Lions Arch or Divinity’s Reach and see a mass of people basicly saying “look how uber i am because i have This mount”

no thanks. it’s not needed. and it just clutters up the screen with masses of people sat about on big hulking beats. <insert metal image of Orgimmar>. and as for speed buffs. there are skills in game that do that already so there is litterally no need of them, and i hope that Arena Net continues to refuse their introduction.

i’m sure that the problem with the in game trade will be negated once that the TP is up and running continually, but since it keeps going down, i personally have had many scam problems, hence my original posting.

i may have just been blind but i didn’t notice a post about this earlier.

why are we reduced to having to trust if someone is going to mail an item to us via the in game mail? when you guys at Anet could no doubt strip the programming from gw1 about in game trading.

the amount of times I’ve been scammed from other players steeling my items and running off is getting ridiculous and a need of an in game p2p trade option is now a must for me. yea the mail is cool, and the TP is awesome. but i think the addition of a personal trade system would come in very handy
