Guild Wars 2

… It apears my Guild Wars 2 game has been replaced by the “Press 1” simulator 2014. started up a new character just to get back into the feel of the game, I have several lvl 80 from last time I played, but I felt like starting anew… and what the hell?

I rarely if ever comment on forums, I find that they tend to be highly negative stomping grounds for a vocal minority, but this change has quite frankly gotten me suffiencently riddled up.

Who the heck figured this was an alright thing to do? This is quite posibly the worst idea I have ever seen applied in an MMO ever. One thing is locking away content that was previously available right out the gate as “rewards” which is quite frankly insulting, it is something else entirely that we have to wade through what is now, posibly, 40 levels of the worst leveling experience in MMO history before we have access to the actaul game.

I reconize this is an attempt from some very, very… very not-in-touch game devs to be more inclusive to new players… but would it really have hurt you guys to just put a button in the character creator saying: “Are you a new player: Yes or No?” Just so that people like me for whom the orignal experience were in fact one of the reasons we played the game in the first place could get the game we originally payed for.

Truth is, I am not gonna play this game in its current state, you decided to ruin it by “fixing” one of the very best aspects of the game and, quite frankly, I find it disgusting that you cheat people to such a degree by removing a core feature.

I know the people to whom this is adressed most likely are not gonna read this, as they are clearly so far removed from the people playing the game that they would never set foot on a forum but I seriously hope this is rolled back or at the very least changed to a sufficient degree for the game to become enjoyable pre-40 again.

Until then I will be joining what seem to be the rather large group of people who will abandon the game for now. To anyone who does in fact enjoy this change, yes, I am adressing both of you, I hope you enjoy what Guild Wars 2 have to offer, it’s a great game with a great artstyle and some truely good ideas, but right now it is not for me.

I have to admit it is sort of problematic that so few of these -extremely- basic -guild- features aren’t present in -Guild- Wars. A lot of these should have been there at launch, or atleast have been implemented over half a year ago, instead of guild missions and the like. We need these things, guild management is hellish and ruins the experience for so many trying to do it. Please Anet, for the sake of the collective sanity of all the guild leaders out there, please make it atleast a little easier to create a fun, organized experience for our members.

So, a member of ours who has been inactive for quite some time suddenly came on, emptied the guild bank, left the guild and later seems to have deleted most if not all his characters… I smell a hacked account. Anyway, what now? Can we request all of this stuff back or is it lost to the mists forever? Would be great as we had a lot of stuff in there…

Ah, thanks, that helped, never encountered this problem before, how and when does it happen?

I’ve tryed for a good few hours now to speak in guild chat, whenever I log to an other character I get the message "you are not in a guild, regardless of weather I am in a guild or not, or if I am representing.

If I unrepresent and represent again, I simply get the error that “no one hears you” regardless of weather there are other people on in the guild I am representing or not whenever I type something.

Have attempted to relog, gets the same result when I come back in.
