Roaming Queensdale again, who needs a welcome kit!

Because we know how to party!

Still hosting these weekly and if your reading this you’re invited!

I tried to log into my Guild Wars 1 account and it responded with a “Your Guild Wars Account has been blocked for an account issue. Please contact support. Error 045” I have no problem playing Guild Wars 2, just Guild Wars 1.

I submitted a ticket on Jan 21st: 1151663

However I have yet to receive a reply even after replying again to request an update.

You have mail Chrineal Enjoy!

I believe I got all three of you something you could use

You have mail Gastly. For the most part realms don’t matter outside of WvW. In WvW SOR focuses a lot on small group warfare. Sticking and moving. Taking a lot of ground at the same time. Some servers like to Karma Train with one giant zerg sweeping from one objective to another. We typically like to hit everything at once and flip as much as possible as fast as possible while trying to hang onto what we can. What I can tell you about SOR is that you want to make sure to create an account at http://www.sanctumofrall.com/ Just logging in each week to it enters you in a raffle for exotic weapons. You can raise your chances of winning prizes by participating in WvW or leading WvW as well. Then theres monthly raffles for a full set of level 80 exotic armor containers as well and weekly Realm Rewards raffles based on how well our server does each week. These raffles start with Exotic Weapons and progress all the way to full sets of ascended materials to precursors in the off chance we break 500k during a week.

Slagfest, the trick I use is to work on getting hits on everything that’s attacking you. If you can kill the lowest health opponent you’ll be born again which should give you time to pop your heal or make a quick getaway. Depending on your class a quick knockback can make the world of difference. Later you will find this is a blessing more than a curse.

You should both have mail waiting for you. Theif Ele combo would work very nicely together

Thank you to the new players that came out and unlocked the shadow behemoth portal achievement today. You guys were all awesome listeners and I’m really glad everyone had a great time. Feel free to hit me up if you have any additional questions or needs some guidance. Happy to help.

Seems to be resolved now!

Little help would be appreciated

SORC just tried to do the mission on PoA and we are DOA. No dice. Tried on 2 characters both characters are stuck bouncing between loading screens.

Green & Blue Items: Salvage or Vendor. Please note, that Tier 2 – 5 mats sell better than T6 mats. They are very hard to get later on after you pass that tier. It’s best to save those mats up for when you decide to take up crafting and sell the excess on the TP. They are very valuable and high level players would rather buy them off the TP than farm them. It’s a good way to earn some coin quick.

Chests: The first time I leveled up from 2-80 in WvW I opened everything. This fed me gear as I leveled up. However the second character I leveled up I stockpiled them all to till I hit 80 and opened up all 700+ of them at that point and they produced a ton of top level materials and coin. So it’s really up to you. Do you need it now or can it wait. Do realize they will have a lot of free levels and skill points hidden inside as well.

You have mail ironbeast. Servers only really come into play if your wanting to WvW. Then you need to decide which you want to be a part of. Hard Core servers where you MUST know your stuff or get off the field, Casual Servers where you can bring a level 2 out and nobody cares, but your not likely to win anything. Or somewhere in between.

My personal favorites:

Hard Core (Tier 1): Tarnished Coast (Go RPers!)
Mid Core: Northern Shiverpeaks
Soft Core: Sanctum of Rall (but i’m biased. Sorrows Furnace and Kaineng both are good choices here too from those i’ve had the pleasure of fighting against)

It all comes down to how you want to play WvW. The closer to the top, the more zerg heavy, the lower tiers you’ll find some good 1 v 1, 2 v 1, and some small scale warfare. A zerg in T8 is 20 people. It’s all a matter of how you want to play.

P.S. if you decide you want to transfer and end up deleting your characters to do it free of charge, send all your stuff to Foghladha.2506 with the subject Bounce and I’ll shoot it right back to you so it doesn’t get destroyed when you delete your characters. Based on what you’ve already got waiting for you in your mailbox, that will speak of my character.

Now roaming queensdale come say hi

Join us tonight at 5PM Pacific (Monday) for SOR Community Missions, Tequatl, and WvW! Contact Foghladha.2506 for details.

All of the new features have been announced. So this should most likely go under the Suggestion topic. In which case yes the is very much needed at some point in the future.

I doubt all of the new features have been announced. No game developer shows all their cards at first release. What would they feed the PR machine until release? Marketing today is all about feeding the public bite sized tidbits that make them hungry for more. Teasers. What we’ve seen so far is likely just the setup for more.

Mistress,
If they don’t have a leader set in the code, it means that they have to build a voting script for add/remove. By having a leader it allows that person to add and remove as needed without having to write extra scripts that require a whole other layer built on them for the voting process. It’s a ease of implementation line item.

I got you BackStabbedbyaPitchfork.2754 You’ve got mail!

Lighsbane, the same can be said for Why Not. Fact is we play MMO’s to be social. If we didn’t want to be social we would play single player games. Social tools in MMO’s are critical to the overall success.

In the early days of MMORPG’s Alliances were a big deal. Many of us traveled across games as an Alliance. Hell the Guinevere Alliance from DAOC is still alive and well today and I see their posts on Facebook daily. It allows a diverse population of communities to join together to aid and assist one another and enables them to communicate.

I don’t care what anyone says, you can only go so far being social if you close your family off in a room with a single phone line out. Thats not socialization. We want a blood pub to gather with friends, family, and kindred spirits. A place where we can communicate and talk as friends without being forced to represent the same guild. Sure you can message random people but how does 100 people talk to another 100 people? Thats a whole lot of tells. It’s not effective. A single chat channel to share between multiple guilds would enable closer relationships between players and allow small guilds to thrive as small guilds.

My question is “Why Not?” What is so wrong about alliance systems that games today are foregoing them? Perhaps if they focused on enabling communities rather than restricting them a beautiful community would be born within their games.

“Communication is first and foremost the most essential feature of any MMO”

Ok who needs a welcome kit today? They’re burning holes in my bags

Yes please. I really NEED a first person view for videos and screenshots. Im so tired of my backside having to be in every video.

So sorry to hear this. Losing a player is never easy. A lot of people who don’t play games don’t see the human connections we make within these virtual game worlds and discount our experiences. I can tell you first hand that I have felt closer to people in games than I have to people I call friend out of game. These bonds strengthen us and shape us. Losing someone like Cyclenurse, is a tragedy, however she is not entirely lost. She continues to live on in the people she affected in her lifetime. Keep her memory burning bright and she will live forever. We never truly die until we are forgotten. Carry her loving spirit on and celebrate her life and the things she did. Remarkable people are hard to come by and she was one of those people. I never had the pleasure of knowing her but I wish I would have.

Foghladha.2506 of Sanctum of Rall (NA) always willing to help a new player and help get them started.

I know there’s a lot of new people out there. You will likely see me roaming the new player zones passing out welcome kits. Be sure to send me a tell for some stuff to get you started. We’ve got lots of it to pass out to our new brothers in arms in Guild Wars 2.

This weekend Guild Wars 2 is dropping to $10 and there will be 50% extra EXP. Now’s a great chance to score a second account or maybe even pick the game up for the first time and give life on Sanctum of Rall a try. Come to a place that puts people above loot, Puts memories above pont ticks, and fills Teamspeak with laughter and giggles rather than profanities.

Sanctum of Rall is the Bora Bora of Guild Wars 2. Take those shoes off, drink a mojito and enjoy the beautiful lifestyle that is Sanctum of Rall! See you on the battlefield!

Level 2? No problem we welcome your lowbies. No new character stays new for long around us.

You can change the color of golems using the sparkfly fen potions you buy from karma vendor. Sanctum of Rall is infamous of running a rainbow golem squad. We use these potions to customize the look of our machines.

I can tell you from my bag giveaways that Queensdale is the hottest zone for new players followed by Metrica Province, then Wayfarer Foothills. If you want to keep yourself occupied while you help random strangers, keep an eye on the world boss timers at:
http://www.sanctumofrall.com/pve/world_events.html or one of the many others. Change zones around the time the world bosses are spawning. Those typically draw a crowd and should help get you in front of more people.

My advise for growing a guild, recruit with kindness, let your actions do the talking. Always keep your word, and always pick people up rather than push them down. This will keep your guild healthy and happy for a long time.

Unfortunately Tom, there’s no way for EU servers to join in the fun. Our EU Makeup is for the EU players who brave the NA servers. The European Makeup is set in “European Primetime”. We targeted the 3 major player bases to try to ensure anyone who needs them has a timeslot to get them.

Gaiscioch [GSCH] hosts weekly makeup missions 3 times a week in their Temporary Event Guild [SORC] for all players in GW2.

• 1. Sat @ 11PM PST – Oceanic Makeup
• 2. Mon @ 5PM PST – US Makeup
• 3. Sat @ 10AM PST – European Makeup

If your child had cancer, and you went to St. Jude’s Childrens hospital, you would not be charged a dime for care. However you would know that it was out of St. Jude’s kindness and care that your childs would receive treated.

It’s a game, leave this stuff out of conversations…
Anyhow, I’ll remove my posts and wish you the best

Yes it’s a game, but charitable organizations are mentioned in their collateral. I used this analogy because Gaiscioch has been committed to helping St. Jude’s Childrens hospitals for the past 4 years. Through the ExtraLife event and through our toy drives. They are the most familiar charity for me to reference and most people know who they are and what they do.

Guardian of Angels.9867:

Seera.5916:

And why shouldn’t the guild get credit for stepping up and helping new players?

Mentioning server is important. What if the new player is wanting to test the waters of WvW?

And having a link to the guild website is useful. In case they want to know what times would be best to contact the guild to do something. During the weekly WvW romp may not be the time to ask for a dungeon run. That’s not to say that it would be fruitless, but the better shot would be to wait for when the WvW romp was over.

Or if they wanted to check out Guild related events.

And I highly doubt that this guild would have any issue with other guilds offering the same.

What about all those other helpfull guilds that posted nicely in “Looking For”?

This is an unfair advantage imo, it’s giving credit to a guild/server whilst other guilds can’t do this in “Players helping Players”. Well they can, but then they’ve got to make the exact same style-type of topic.

When every guild would be doing this, “Players helping Players” will turn into a “Looking For” 2.0

I understand your fears however there is a BIG difference between what I’m doing and what you find in “Looking For”

Players Helping Players – Designed to allow players to help one another. Via asking questions or offering support.

Looking for – Designed to allow players to recruit for their guilds or servers.

While Players Helping Players is about “Giving”, Looking for is about “Getting”. I am not looking to “Get” anything, I am merely looking to “Give” new players a welcome kit to get them off the ground which contains several useful things to a new player. This is not meant to be some tricky kind of guild recruitment scheme.

If your child had cancer, and you went to St. Jude’s Childrens hospital, you would not be charged a dime for care. However you would know that it was out of St. Jude’s kindness and care that your childs would receive treated.

This is important because Reputation speaks for itself. If players have encountered us in prior games they will know this isn’t some recruitment scheme. That we genuinely want to help and care about others. It is important that new players know who they can talk to if they have a question and know us by our reputation in case our paths cross in the future. Whether you choose to accept it or not, charities have names. Yet charities help people. Gaiscioch does this in game and out.

We are not looking to bolster our numbers we’re looking to help out our fellow player. Whether their Gaiscioch or not. Now if every guild in Guild Wars 2 did this, I’d be ecstatic because that means that every guild in GW2 is putting people above guild tags. Helping people even if they aren’t one of their own.

In the end this isn’t about us, it’s about caring for others and putting them first. If I was concerned about bolstering our numbers don’t you think I’d actually have a “Looking for” post? Numbers don’t interest me, smiles do.

Nirim.6789:

So, Im probaly as new as it gets to these kind of games,
My very first mmorpg that is not 2D. Hurray!

Any suggestions on what class I should play?
Im pretty much a lone wolf since i dont have any rl’s to play with, maybe i can convince one or 2 to play with me , but i need a class that can stand on its own just fine.

Nirim.

If you like playing from afar and don’t mind a bit of Kiting (Running in circles while shooting things), you might want to give Mesmer or Ranger a try. Both of them are ranged classes with pets that give you a better chance of survival. Ranger is easy enough to play you don’t need a whole lot of MMORPG experience to do it. My daughter, my wife, and my mom all play rangers because it’s easiest to learn.

I referenced our site, so people who have encountered us in DAOC, WAR, RIFT, ESO, or GW2 will recognize us as a group of people that goes out of our way to help others.

I referenced the Sanctum of Rall post as, our server was named after a man who also gave everything and asked for nothing in return that just happened to be one of our members.

I reference the events because those are open to Everyone, hosted in SORC a temporary event guild we only use for getting people loot every week. We invite people at the start of the event. The guild is dormant until the next event. The only reason it is in existence is to act as a container so that anyone and everyone can get the game rewards. It’s not a guild. If the game didn’t require people to represent it wouldn’t even exist.

If your looking for a reason why someone would do something like this I’ll tell you. Look at your replies. The world has become jaded. Surely good intentions don’t exist anymore.

A long time ago on my very first day in Dark Age of Camelot, my first MMORPG , I was alone, lost and confused and had no clue what to do or how to play. A fir blog Druid by the name Roac, who was not in any guild, sa me wondering around aimlessly and asked of I needed help. I said yes and he spent the next hour gearing me up, giving me some spending money and teaching me how to play. Why? Because he felt someone should. He did not do it to recruit me into a guild or for personal reasons he did it because he saw a person in need.

Kindness is a rare trait these days. I felt the need to create an entire community that walks the same path. Helps people in need, requires nothing of them and supports those in need regardless of the tag above their head.

I refuse to let kindness and compassion for our fellow man die by the wastes side and sit idlely by. Even if I’m the only one trying I will continue to try. If I remember the actions of 1 person 13 years ago, it shows you just the impact it can have on a person’s life whend you do that which others choose not to and help someone in their hour of need.

That is why for the past 2 years I have passed out welcome kits in Guild Wars 2. I typically frequent Queensdale and Metrica.

The only thing I am “Looking For” is new players to help get started. I’m not trying to recruit for a Server or a Guild. Just simply stating that my Guild is offering welcome kits to new players looking for help.

“Players Helping Players” What else is this forum about if not to help one another?

Nope, don’t need to join any guild. Gaiscioch is a community focused guild that tries to help new players in games get started. We’ve been doing this since Dark Age of Camelot. We have a long history of this. We also host a whole range of inclusive events for everyone in the game. No rep, no guild, no requirements at all.

We are also the community that hosted the Great Tyrian Adventure where in all we gave away 10 Legendary Weapons to attendees who largely were not Gaiscioch members. We have given away thousands of items over the past 2 years and will continue to do so.

Just looking to help players get off the ground.
