Guild Wars 2

1 week post bump. Still no replies. I’ve submitted a support post as well but no replies there either. Eventually, I’d like to add the information obtained to the wiki.

For topic related information, see: GW2 Custom Playlists

Two Questions:

1. Is their a way to split “City” into the different regions? ie: The Citadel and The Grove both have different music but “City” plays one list for all towns.

1. Is there currently a playlist designated for Guild Halls? I’ve tried several different easy names in hope of discovering it but nothing yet. I’d really like to add some other, both old and new, songs to my Gilded Hollow.

This bug sounds a lot like the old Ogre Whistle bug. Before the break in the item, it was discovered that if you summoned an Ogre Pet, map out, and have another player rez the dead pet ally, it would add a permanent version of the pet to the map. I’d added many pets to Shamore, outside of Divinity’s Reach in Queensdale after reporting the bug to GW2 Devs. [Another set was hidden in Plains of Ashford in a hidden area but were later removed as well… my menagerie.)

It was later that the whistles were limited to 1 pet active total, you were no longer able to rez the pet, and the whistle was changed from a recharge of 10 seconds to 3 minutes to prevent it from being exploited again. I got a Christmas card from Arena.net that year. It was great.

I’d call this a recent trend. 12 others in my guild received the same message.

This morning I attained some in-game mail about my account being locked and “shut down.” It’s obviously an attempt to compromise an account but you and both know, some inexperienced user out there will use a link to “protect their account.”

If you get any sort of message like this in-game, remember:

1) Check the notice at the bottom. If it doesn’t have the Arena.net logo and it doesn’t say it’s from Arena.net themselves, it’s fake. Report and delete.

2) Arena.net will never warn you of a ToS breach. If you’re account meets the requirements of a ban, you’ll encounter an error trying to log in. No warning or in-game message attached.

3) Arena.net will never ask you for any kind of account information, such as a password. They don’t need it. If anyone every asks for such information in-game or by email, report it, in game and to Guild Wars 2 Support.

Protect. Your. Account.

Recently, I decided to leave a HoD “PvX” guild as they mostly ran WvW only to create a PvE guild. Since MegaServers have been added and guilds are now global, it would be quite easy to build a community interested in more of the PvE side of the game. Though I am finding members who wish to join, I’m encountering a rather problematic issue.

All though MegaServer allows people from every server to join and play in a map, we’re finding great difficulty in actually joining each others map shards. Last night brought me to even more confusion. A guild member was playing in Plains of Ascalon so I thought I’d party him up and join him. When entering Plains of Ascalon, per the party menu, we seemed to be in the same map shard but neither of us showed on the map or were able to see each other. I had to guest over from HoD to JQ in order to see him. Oddly enough, the same people that were chatting in the map before I guested were in his same map shard.

Also, it seems that merchants and summoned NPCs are inaccessible to players in certain areas. In standard maps, it seems that a player can pop a Black Lion Merchant and anyone can access them. A friend of mine’s inventory was full in a home instance and when I summoned a merchant he couldn’t access it. Nor could he use the merchants (armorer) found in the map.

I’m kind of worried that if I continue to promote and build a mega server guild, it will be severely problematic if players can’t gather together and play unless they guest to a specific server.

Is it possible that changes could be made to the current mega-server system to allow these “benefits.” Would other members of the forum like to take this as a challenge and post their results for a better chance of a bug fix.

!! Find someone of another server, party and join a map. See if you can actually join their shard and play with this. See if you have any other complications.

*Slightly off topic by related: The guild menu also tends to “break.” When you first log in, it shows everyone’s location with mega server active. Within 20-30 minutes, the guild menu reverts to showing a users Server in orange instead of showing their location in White.

All of my characters do but it’s based on a range of like 600 or so.

Solys.2736:

Bring back Guild Halls.
Bring back GvG.

GvGs are already active within the game but must be purchased via the gem store. See “Custom Arenas” → Allowance by guild.

Misty Red Rose.9320:

Hopefully, this will be the next big permanent thing they are working on. Along with GUILD ADMINISTRATION. Our guild is running out of room and there is still no way to know when the last time a member logged in. We can’t give members any time limits as to how long they can be away, as we have no way to monitor it. Sorry don’t mean to hijack another guild hall request thread, but guild admin isn’t functional, after almost a year, and don’t get me started on guild banks.

“We want Guild Halls!”
“We want Guild Halls!”
“We want Guild Halls!”

There.

As far as guild administration to check user activity vs last login: https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/achievements

EDIT: Hovering over an entry will give you the last update time stamp. The game only updates the ranking when a user has logged in.

You look down at your hands, a feeling washing over you. Something has changed. Within you, a power is growing. Something has awakened. It flows through you, like the emotions of the world itself enter into your heart, and you feel enlightened. As you lift your head, you see the silhouettes gathering before you. From the haze around you, a Charr steps forward, his arms down and palms open to you. As he approaches, the anxiety within you is put to rest, and he speaks softly, “You feel it too. The Pulse.” He simply smiles, and places his hand on your shoulder. Leading you into the haze, he says, “Do not fear. We are the Guardians of Nature’s Pulse. Walk with us.”

Guild: The Guardians of Nature’s Pulse [Life]
Server: Dragonbrand
Territory: US
Language: English
Time Zone: NA
Type: PvX
VoIP: Mumble
Web: http://gw2pulse.shivtr.com/

The Guardians of Nature’s Pulse is a NEW PvE focused guild with side interests in various aspects of PvP. We accept users of any level or experience. (New user friendly.) There are no restrictions on races or classes. (Yes, we even accept Asurans.) Friendly, helpful, and supportive; the guild can assist with anything needed. We are striving to become a social and chatty guild. We are equipped with a 24/7 hosted mumble server as well as a guild web site used to communicate important guild news, updates, events, etc. Below is an expanded idea of what we are and/or plan to become:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Primary Focus: Players vs Environment (World Play/Story Mode)

• Leveling - It’s not your the destination but that path you take to get there. It’s common for members to band together and take on the world to symbiotically level up.
• Event Chains - Whether for leveling and for influence, join up on some of the maps event chains (e.g. Queensdale Champs Run).
• World Bosses - Typically someone’s on top of this, announcing upcoming boss events. Join up with fellow guildies and take these big guys down!
• Living Story - Now released bi-weekly with new achievements every patch. Join up and get things done together.
• Fractals and Dungeons* - Join up with others to run your favorite dungeons; Story Mode and Explorable Mode alike.
• Jumping Puzzles* - Based on what feels right for the moment. The guild often uses JPs as a break from everything else, choosing one at random for the guild to complete together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Secondary Focus: Structured Player vs Player

• World vs World - Nothing ever hardcore but sometimes you just need to beat the living hell out of people, y’know? ; )
• Structured PvP - Groups aren’t yet formed, but could be a primary focus in the future for guild oriented battles.
• *Arena - An arena is to come in the future when enough players get into sPvP. Arena will be dedicated to guild (and possible, upcoming alliances).
• *Scrimmaging - Using Arena’s for Guildie vs Guildie action!
• *Guild vs Guild - (Using Custom Arena vs Allies)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Specific Requirements:

• Guild and Mumble chat shouldn’t exceed PG13.
• Members must represent the guild at least 75% of the time.
• Members must log in at least once every two weeks or face an inactivity kick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recruitment Standard:
The Guardians of Nature’s Pulse [Life] is looking for both Members and Officers with the following qualities:

• Outgoing and Self-Motivated
• Friendly and Supportive
• Mature
• Actively willing to shape the guild

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those looking to join, you may reply here, via private message on the web site, or in-game. For in-game whispers or mail, send to “emullins.7369”.

Notes:

• Apart from the intro, we aren’t a role-playing guild.
• Currently, our member base doesn’t show much interest in Fractals or Dungeons but this will change in the future. Daily fractals will happen often as well as members running dungeon runs.
• The Arena and GvG features won’t be active until enough interest is found within the guild for sPvP as arenas are bough via the Gem Store for actual cash.
