Guild Wars 2

Farming Flats.5370:

I think the only solution for your Guild is to abandon Gilded Hollow and Capture Lost Precipice … by swapping Guild Halls all your stuff is transferred into the new one.( back in the guild inventory ) then capture Gilded Hollow again.

We know that this is one way to do it but then it would be nice if anet would send us 200 gold just to get our pumpkins back

Would be really nice if someone from anet took notice of this issue ;<

So, long story short during Halloween event my guild and I bought a lot of “Pumpkin” decorations for the guild hall through the merchant located in the Guild Hall.

We placed the pumpkins making an awesome jumping puzzle for the guild to enjoy and with one of the latest game updates, textures in the Gilded Hollow got changed without any notice rendering the jumping puzzle inaccessible or even visible.

Problem: Without access to the part of the jumping puzzle where the pumpkins were placed, we can not delete them thus we can’t get the pumpkins back. Furthermore, the pumpkins are places now INSIDE of the new textures making it impossible to delete with the current decoration system even if they would be visible.

I wouldn’t even bother to make a topic on the forums or contacting support about this if we would talk about 10 or 20 pumpkins, but we are talking here about hundreds of missing pumpkins (and other decorations) that are now lost in space of textures.

Solution: Tool that will enable you to “delete” all/or specific type of placed decorations thus putting them back in the guild decoration storage.

Contacting support resulted in pretty much letting me know that they can’t help me which is funny because they informed me about that in the xxenth email instead of the first one. I wouldn’t bother then sending any more mails if they can’t do anything about it anyway.

Hello again xxxxxxxxx,

While we understand your guildies and you would rather have a refund for the furniture that was purchased, unfortunately we are not able to delete or provide any refund individually. Additionally I would also let you know that the support team is not able to restore or change anything regarding guildhalls or guild banks thus we will be unable to fulfill any request regarding these topics.

However we do thank you for your in game report, and rest assured that all of these reports are reviewed by the appropriate team and will be handled as soon as possible.

Regards,

GM Fenrir
Guild Wars 2 Support Team

Another thing I’d like to point out is, everyone knew the Guild Halls were rushed and they are not completely finished but ArenaNet just changing the textures without any notice before hand or a handle for already placed decorations in the parts that are going to be changed is a massive oversight.

My guild and I will be very disappointed if this issue won’t be addressed.

Also I would like to warn everyone: Hold off on placing decorations at this moment since first of all they are expensive and second you will never know apparently when there’s going to be a texture change in the guild hall making your decorations useless.

For those wondering where is the texture change:
The textures were changed in Gilded Hollow waaaayyy above the Guild portal (right from the crystal main hall/room). There is an updraft there now that doesn't work by the way but it might work with unlocking GH exploration, can't confirm that tho at this point.

So, long story short, we got all those awesome guild halls and by all I mean two and the entire system looks a little bit rushed in the making but hey, I’m not whining ok, at least we have something right.

Going to the point, now You and your guild needs to work hard together, and put all necessary materials for upgrades, or well just buy the stuff without moving a finger. We all need to wait for the Aetherium to stack up and get favor through the guild missions which is nicely displayed in the upgrades panel right next to…. wait for it… MY PERSONAL GOLD?! Wait what?!

So let me get this straight, whenever there’s an upgrade that requires gold, instead of just showing the amount of gold that is in the guild bank where everyone in the guild can contribute and put the gold in, the system was designed so thoughtful that it takes the gold out of my personal inventory where I have to get the gold from the guild bank later and stretch my personal 500 gold per week limit?

Hey I’m not rich in this game, but I’m neither poor, 500 gold per week is not that much in this game since the market is so pumped up, but I would really like to know…

Who thought of that?! Will it be changed? It doesn’t make ANY god darn sense.

I’m going to bump this up and thumb up because this is a very good question that my guild like to know the answer to as well.

agenciq.8043:

Purchasing Aetherium boosts for influence in Guild Halls still has no effect. After the booster was bought, Aetherium is still mined 1 per minute.

Would be nice if the problem was fixed because the last patch with the “fix” apparently didn’t do much.

Additionally, having an indicator somewhere that the boost is in effect would help a lot otherwise we just spend influence getting an affect of character leveling up and nothing happens. The only way to check if the boost is in effect is comparing the rate of mining with a stopwatch/timer in your hand which I find pretty ridiculous.

The problem seems to be fixed. But there is another one. I’m pretty sure majority who used the booster got refunded just as I did. But when I got an in game mail with 3x 1k influence boosts (3 items/buffs in ONE mail) upon clicking “Take All” only one booster started and the other two returned an information in the chat Influence conversion failed. Please try again. Well but we can’t try again because the items aren’t there anymore.

Anet, just please. please. Get it sorted out.

Spending influence for boosting aetherium mining does not work.

Please fix and refund the enormous amount of influence people wasted on this <3

Hey,

Like most of the people here I’m pretty sure we payed for a finished product when Guild Wars 2 launched (I’m stretching here because we all know nothing here is even close to finished). Of course there might be some mishaps because the game is changing and you constantly add stuff which we are grateful for (yey expansion!)… but…

CAN YOU FOR CRYING OUT LOUD TO BABY JESUS BETA TEST STUFF BEFORE YOU SHIP THE PATCH?!

I, like many other people, didn’t buy this game to beta test it after you think of an another awesome idea on how to “improve” the game while breaking 50% of the content we already have.

Someone might say “Hey dude, chill out, report the bug, i’m sure they will fix it!”. Well I’ll be kitten ed, why didn’t I think of that before… Oh I know! BECAUSE YOU BROKE IT.

Exhibit A:
http://i.imgur.com/67gr4iL.png

I didn’t buy this game to be a beta testing guinea pig nor I’m paid to do so. So kindly get you kittens together there at the office please.

But since I’m a nice guy I’ll point you in the right direction to some of the broken things in the game as of now:

-Character Voices
-Triple Trouble Wurm
-Guilds (chat and building stuff)
-Tequatl

Cheers.

Hello anet and everyone,

I will try to explain my problem.

I have/had 4 commander tags. Since the commander change was announced publicly that even those with 1 tag will get upgraded to the new system, everyone rushed to buy it “cheaper” before the update.

I see it this way that since the information was made public before the patch, pretty much letting every single person buy the tag cheaper those with more then one commander tags should be able to get a refund.

Announcing it publicly like that, in my opinion just screwed with all those people who actually gave a kitten about commanding and bought more than one commander tag.

To be honest, I would be completely fine with that change if it wouldn’t be announced at all. “Ok, who would have known, no harm done”. Those who did not buy the commander tag before patch would have to pay the new price. No hard feelings.

So my question is, Can i get a refund for 3 out of 4 commander tags that i have since i paid for them 400g and 1000 badges of honor and allllllll of those other people paid only 100g and 250 badges of honor?

Did you know that It is forbidden for aircraft to fly over the Taj Mahal?

Berk.8561:

Another way to limit commander tag bloat would be to limit the number of commander tags shown on a map to 5 determined by WvW rank in WvW and by achievement points in PvE. Or a softer version would be that once there are 5 commander tags up on a map, the only way you can turn on another is if you have a higher WvW rank or more achievement points, so that no commander tag that’s already one will be turned off. The number doesn’t have to necessarily be 5 and it may need to be a different number in WvW (where more than a few commanders on a map can cause problems) and PvE (where there are events that can justify 5 or more commanders on a map).

This would be tricky as WvW rank doesn’t determinate if the person is fit to command the same as achievement points have nothing to do with player skill.

Since high WvW rank can be achieved just by running with your server zerg and pressing 1 on your guardian staff. Same as achievement points can be “farmed” by finishing dailies or participating in every new LS release.

It only determinate how much time said person spent on those activities.

Substance E.4852:

Commander tags have been kitten vanity items for a long time now. People just have a big incentive to buy them right now.

Exactly, and problem that i see right now is multiply the number of trolls that had one commander tag (my fav LA commanders, how else we would find a bank?) by hm lets say 20-30? Since everyone just rushed to buy them not to mention account bound so said troll will be able to turn it on whenever.

Hm, if some changes were made over the weekend… we have 7 days till the patch, how about doing something that would actually help improve the situation and not make it worse.

A lot of people especially gw2 players forgot that buying a commander tag doesn’t magically make them a person fit to lead others, especially when they have no idea about how dodge even works in this game. Same way as installing photoshop won’t make me a graphic designer all of a sudden.

It’s sad to see how this game is designed. Gw2 gives ppl the ability to get almost anything in the game without any effort whatsoever hence “casual”. But something like commander tags shouldn’t be easy accessible because this actually can ruin the experience of other people playing the game.

Ragnar.4257:

So, just double checking to make sure I’ve understood right….

A decision on a change like this can be taken via email, and the change itself can be implemented by 2 people working a weekend.

So how does that sit with what we’ve been told about how “time-consuming” and “complex” other minor changes are, and how they can’t be worked on because they’d take an entire development team weeks or months, which could be better spent elsewhere?

You can’t have it both ways.

Either changes like this take weeks to push through all the coding, testing and bureaucracy, in which case the sudden about-turn on the price is suspect. Or, these things can actually be done within a few days in response to community feedback, and the only reason we haven’t had this done in other areas is due to either dis-interest or pure bloody-minded stubbornness.

So which is it?

This guys deserves a medal for pointing that stuff out.

Anyhow! I made another info-graphic for all interested: http://i.imgur.com/s8atjxa.jpg

It is really sad to see how anet promotes all those CDI’s which many see only as a PR stunt and damage control for the upcoming feature patch where all those feedback topics like lets say… commander changes? are being ignored.

I would like to congratulate anet for literally pushing every 10 or 13 year old (figure of speech, nothing personal kids) to buying the commander tag since now they will also get all those fancy colours for 1/3 the price!

And I’d like to remind everyone that this is not about “Hey what can we do to turn the tags off in options?” Its about what to do so only the people that actually do SOMETHING with those tags to have them.

Did you know that Hawaii is the only coffee producing state?

Did you know that Elvis had a twin brother named Garon, who died at birth, which is why Elvis middle name was Aron?

Better have a character bound commander tag then see tons of people running around with commander tags just because now they have it on every toon. Pick lesser evil.

Hello.

To make it easy for everyone and anet I made an info-graphic about the upcoming commander changes. Enjoy!

TADA!: http://i.imgur.com/CHDEQub.jpg

Before reading the rest of my post, please check the graphic first as I will refer to it.

So, first I don’t really understand why the merged topic exists only in WvW section. I know that commanders are crucial to that part of the game but what about all of the ones commanding on Tequatls and Wurms?

I always thought that anet actually made the commander character bound for exactly this reason (check the graphic) but since the announcement I’m starting to think that it just turned out this way when they made the game. period.

Please do not call it a “system”. How can you call an icon above your head which gives you no useful things whatsoever except showing your position on map a system! I mean like.. really? Just to compare, anyone there in your office checked out “Battlefield 2” years ago? (I know, its an oldie…) That game had a commander SYSTEM.

For all of you saying “just join squad you won’t see other tags blah blah blah” Just woah, chill. Apparently you are one of those LA commanders and you never commanded with random people did you huh? Like they will listen yeah maybe 1% of them will.

I have 4 commander tags. Like many other people who actually use them for something. Will we be able to get a refund for 3 commander tags? You know… since all those people who are now rushing to buy one for only 100g will get a FREE upgrade? (Can you feel that rage if we won’t? I can see people leaving this game.)

OK, enough ranting! How about some SOLUTIONSSSSS…..

Everyone with 1 commander tag -> should still have character bound tag with only blue color (old system) with ability of purchasing the UPGRADE book for additional 200 gold to be enrolled into the new system. OR get a refund and no tag.
Everyone with 2 commander tags -> should still have character bound tag with only blue color (old system) with ability of purchasing the UPGRADE book for additional 100 gold to be enrolled into the new system. OR get a refund and no tag.
Everyone with 3 commander tags -> should be upgraded to the new system.
Everyone with 4 and more tags -> Should be able to get a refund for every next commander tag after the 3rd one. OR be acknowledged for all our hard work and get extra colors.

IF people with only one commander tag will get a full upgrade to the new system where some of us paid 300g and more and we wont be allowed to get a refund… well then. Nice way to treat your players anet! I mean really, kudos to you! You sound like reasonable people! I’d love to have friends like that. honest.

Hello my fellow citizens!

Today at 21:30 gmt+2 (10.08.2014) we will organize public #yolo tequatl for almost everyone! Let’s start with an explanation

What is #yolo tequatl?
#Yolo tequatl is an event where we will slaughter the dragon using not conventional means. We obviously won’t follow the event “guidelines” on how it SHOULD be done rather doing it how it SHOULDN’T be done. Think of it as something where standing in one spot and pressing 1 just won’t be enough anymore. (yes, i didn’t explain exactly what we will be doing on purpose :>)

Why “almost” everyone?
We would like to invite every single person but map capacity just wont allow it thus the event will be limited to 80-100 people.

How do we start? Where do we meet?
We will start organizing on TEAMSPEAK. Exactly at 21:30 gmt+2 today (if you’r not sure about your timezone type “whats the time in Germany” in google which will show you the time the event will be held). Everything will be explained there.

RULES
We would like to invite people that are capable of understanding English language. Everyone that knows how to properly set up their teamspeak. For those who join, we’d like to ask you to behave as our commanders are trigger-happy to kick all trolls from the teamspeak (we do have a sense of humor so no worries :P). You do not need a microphone! You just need to listen! Tho if you have one but not sure about it, just mute yourself on ts. (Push to talk recommended)

Other stuff
If you don’t know how switching maps (taxis) work, ask your friends. We will also explain it on ts tho. If you want to invite your friends that are not on the teamspeak to the map, don’t do that. This way the event will fail and time will be wasted. As said, everyone is welcome so just hop on TS instead of leeching ;>

Guarantees
Lots of fun, music, chillaxing, 15k karma after killing teq and some crap loot

What do we need from you?
About 1 hour of your time.

Important stuff
Time: 21:30 gmt+2
Where: TEAMSPEAK
TS IP: nlguild.eu
Channel: YOLO Tequatl

Also, please do not join the teamspeak before the set time and just afk, we will make sure to filter all the afkers and kick them from the teamspeak
