Guild Wars 2

Warning: Wall of Text incoming!

Greetings!

About Us

Me and my SO are looking for a guild located in EU to finally start raiding.

We are 23 and 24 years old, live in Austria (CEST time-zone) and are fluent in both german and english. It doesn’t matter whether you are a german or english speaking guild, we understand and can also communicate properly.

I am currently doing my master’s degree at university so either I have tons of time or none at all – atm it’s the former case.
My SO on the other hand has to go to work fairly early in the morning (~6:15), therefore going to bed usually around 22:30, but is therefore also early at home again.

Static Raiding times could get a bit hard to schedule, but I think we will manage this.

TS³ and Discord are ready, we are motivated to learn and want to improve, hence are open to criticism.

For social stuff, I personally really like to text chat with friendly people, but I am still a bit shy when it comes to voice communication, therefore tend to just mute my mic. Furthermore in laid back stuff I am Skyping with my SO literally all the time (if I am not at his place) which is really important to us. So both of us cannot be on TS all the time for chatting, apart from harder encounters. My SO is more of a silent type: he rarely types in chat, but is super friendly and responsive when asked for advice.

Ingame Stuff

We both have ~5k hours invested, playing since beta, have 25-25,5k AP, have all classes on level 80 with at least exotic gear but with asc trinkets or some classes in full asc with 150AR.
We used to be dungeon runners and have both the Dungeoneer Title (if that counts for anything) and are occasionally still running them, are able to solo some and ofc able to do teaching runs if wanted.

About Raids

As for Raids, we have many classes to offer, are also able to put proper meta gear on them in case they don’t have it already incl. proper food.
Just to give you an idea: PS War, Staff DPS Ele, Magi/Zerker Druid, Viper Reaper, DPS Thief, DPS DH, etc. (as I said – all classes are possible, some are in the process of getting their asc attire, trinkets are all available)

About Your Guild

We understand that you would need to invest some time in us to teach us the runs (don’t worry, we will ofc read guides before very encounter!) and hence want to provide you something back: as stated earlier, we used to be dungeon runners and therefore still have knowledge about them and are possible to teach new guys a thing or two.

A somewhat important point is representing: we run our own little guild with mostly RL friends (all inactive unfortunately) of ~10 and don’t want to give it up. We recently even captured our guild hall with only three players and are slowly upgrading it. Therefore we want to be proud of it and show it as much as possible. During guild runs however, we are perfectly fine with representing you
Anyways, we want you as your “secondary” guild if you are okay with that for the above stated reasons.

Additionally it would be neat if you have some people PvPing (not mandatory though)

Feel free to shoot me a message ingame at /w Xhex.9728 (Me) or /w Ace.9321 (my SO) if you have further questions!

I am really sorry for this wall of text, but it’s important to give you an idea about what we conceive and don’t want to waist your time if your guild just simply is not right for us or in case we don’t suit you.

I have a question regarding the rewards from yesterday. While I know I will receive them within the next days, I wanted to know approximately how much I can expect. (Need to organize my day to get enough tokens afterall).
So do we get “all” bonus chests from every map plus the ones we were not credited for, or “just” the bonus + regular reward in what we participated in?

I am asking because I did not receive anything at the very first event and as (as far as I remember) you guys never retroactively rewarded us (apart from Karka 2012 iirc) I did not expect to get anything and hence would not want to play the bugged event, therefore “left” out the rewards you now would give us.

Keep up your good work and spirit

• Can we switch on/off the icon?
• Is the icon visible on the (mini) map – If so, what about the commander tag? Or will it only be visible on PvE maps?
• What about trolls scamming people into sending them gold for showing them content or letting people jump into their death?
• Rewards for helping people? I mean, as much as I like helping people, I like gold and “good” rewards for it even more.
• Will there be some sort of “Karma” System indicating helpful players, if so what about about negative Karma and again concerning trolls giving just everyone negative karma for unknown reasons?
• Will there be some sort of new chat channel for this, as in “help i need xx” where uninterested players won’t be annoyed?
• What are the other abilities in this trait line?
• Will this trait be actually useful enough to be spending mastery points on this?
• Will you consider our suggestions in this threat for changes too?

I hereby beg you to redo this devastating change on the PS as a gamer that is here since Beta and frequently supports the game by buying your Gem Cards.

PLEASE put it back to normal!

It was good as it was before, and as others said before: Don’t try to fix it, if it isn’t broken.

The reason most players disliked the PS was utterly because of that kitten Trahearne and that some quests were simply too long. But nothing more! Everything else was – when reading and watching the cutscences – an amazing experience.

And you completely ruined that feeling.

I know you want to make the game more ‘easy’ for new players, but everyone so far made it. And why wouldn’t we?

In my opinion the whole leveling system was well thought and implemented. But now everything is highlighted like every new player is literally either blind or kittened and I see no challenge at all anymore and hence no feeling of accomplishing something (be it a very long quest etc.) with a feeling of relief.
Now it’s just ‘nah… another part done… who the hell is that character… when did that guy die?’
I think I don’t have to mention that everything is messed up as well considering you ‘deleted the red thread’, thinking about Tonn and his widow or a wild appearing Sayeh al’Rajihd….

I have many more reasons for you to reconsider this awful change, but it’s very late already.

Edit:
Additionally… To remove ALL loot from any mob inside the instance is also…let’s say reckless..
Back when I did the PS for the first time, I relied on the loot from the mobs as it was more or less the only way to get new equipment. Now everything, every mob and just everything you do is in vein and simply a pain. No one! And really no one will want to complete this like now without any real reward. The bags you somethings get as reward contains only crappy items and don’t contain – as you said – equipment suitable for the character’s class with a higher drop chance.

I hope this is also an issue you will be reconsidering.

To all others out there that are the same opinion: Tell your guild mates, friends etc to push this thread so it gets more attention from ANet.

This happened to me twice for the last week…

Both times while in WvWvW .

I was online with my Guardian that uses shouts and I could NOT use skills 1-6 (yes no healing in WvW while in a clash…gg) 7-9 were my shouts that worked fine but make no dmg so useless apart from supporting.
0 was also NOT working.
F1-F3 and dodging worked.

I was using Staff at that time, tried to change to GS. Did nothing.

Even unequipting and reequipting or chaning to scepeter/shield was useless.

It happened once random and the second time while in EotM when I was transformed in those Mechanical Siege Devourer and got downed. I was revived but then no skills worked anymore.

I tried everything, from damage of falling, dodging, /dance, etc.
After 30 min I finally got out of this state by using supps. Another time I got out by jumping into water.

However, especially in WvW this is extremely annoying. And relogging is no option as I will not wait for hours again just to get in.

I remember this bug also happening in PvP… Nice when you can’t to anything to your enemies and must ask them to kill you… :-/

Pls fix this already! 6 months w/o fixing is too much.

Hey.

After the last patch I continiously get the bug that I can’t invite any players!

When I do it manually with “P+Name” it simply does nothing. Normally when you misswrite a name it tells you so or that this person is already in a group whatsoever.

But it happens nothing.

When I try to rightclick invite also nothing happens, same with guild or firndlist invites.

Both buttons (invite or join) are clickable, but don’t do a thing.

When the other person invites me I get an invitation BUT sometimes get an error message as in the picture

LFG Tool is okay to do dungeons, but it is really annoying as I always have to be invited instead of inviting.

Please fix this soon!
