Guild Wars 2

Hello Skill!

Welcome back to Tyria! It can be very hard to find the right guild sometimes with all these mega zerg guild’s a dime a dozen all over the place.

I represent Tyrs Paladium, a multi game online community that has the small guild charm with some larger guild benefits. We do what we can to keep everyone from being more than just a face the crowd, each of our members knows nearly everyone else in guild. We are also fortunate enough to be able to boast regularly scheduled pve, pvp and wvwvw events, and with members on at all times of day, we always have someone willing to do stuff.

If interested, please check us out at www.tyrspaladium.com and drop an app today. You can also check out our recruitment post by following the link below or send me a PM in game. We are on shadowbrand, but with pve megaservers that doesn’t matter much anymore.

Hello Bromotality!

Making the jump from top level raider in WoW to gw2 is going to be a bit of a culture shock. I did it back with wrath, and am still getting used to it. Now I don’t know if you are looking for that same raid type mentality, but I would say that gw2 is not really going to have that as much. I don’t want to try to sell you a camel when your looking for a horse.

However, if you are still interested in making the swap to Guild Wars 2, even to just try it out, you may want to check us out. I represent Tyrs Paladium, a multi game online community that has a well establish chapter in Guild Wars 2 that does partake in all forms of pve endgame.

If interested, or simply looking for more information, check us out at www.tyrspaladium.com and drop and app. You can also follow the link below to our recruitment thread or send me an in game PM.

Hello Amelia!

Welcome to Tyria! So I am not quite sure if NOB is an acronym that I am not familiar with, or if I am very tired lol. Either way, I may have a guild you would be interested in. I represent Tyrs Paladium, a multi game online community that has a long standing history with Guild Wars 2. We are always welcoming to new members, and always on the lookout for new friends to game alongside with. We are a rather mature guild, with most of our members 30 +, and we boast many couples who game alongside each other, so we do have a healthy female base, if that is a concern for you.

If interested, please check out our website www.tyrspaladium.com or take a look at our recruitment thread, which aparently I cannot get to link properly on my phone. If you like what you see. Please drop an application and/or contact me or another officer in game!

Looking forward to meeting you

We are an American guild with an international/Euro flavor. We are happy to continue to grow with Guild Wars 2 community, and are seeking new blood. We have members on at all times, but left & right coasters (from California to New York) in the US should find plenty on during peak hours.

Demographics: We are looking for Americans and Eurozone players who are:

• seeking great adventure and camaraderie with like-minded players.

• looking for a NO DRAMA GUILD.

• who enjoy teamwork.

• those that haven’t guilded before

• those who aren’t enjoying their current guild

• EU players who’d like to help us build this important time zone with us.

We run a tight knit. community. We believe in helping each other, and most of all having as much fun as possible while we play. Our goal is to allows our members to get the full GW2 experience, seeing all the content they want, and helping them be as successful as possible with that experience.

“We play hard, laugh hard, and play it old school, with much respect to the
camaraderie found in tabletop D&D of years past.”

We also are proud to offer one of the most active guild websites possible, created by, run by and for guildies only. Through this website you will be able to partake in many of our organized and supported guild activities, including, but not limited to:

- Regularly organized weekend guild raids! Take part in a fun, understanding raiding environment with your fellow guild members. New and Experiences raiders are welcome, with our group focused on clearing the content while still embracing our values of fun and camaraderie first and foremost.
- Regularly organized Sunday afternoon guild missions! Nothing better than getting rewards, growing the guild and hanging out with friends and family!
- All guild dungeon clears, all level fractals, hero point trains and WvWvW roaming groups (on the dragonbrand server) that our members are regularly scheduling and running each and every day!
- The always popular GW2 Fashion competition! Think your character has the stuff to strut on the runway? Think you are the fairest of them all? Maybe you know your just to sexy for your shirt! Our Fashion competition will let your prove you have all the right goodies!

If you’d like to join, head over to Tyrs Paladium Guild Site and submit an application.

We actively enforce our drama free policy. This is not just a statement as many other groups may just post. We are not ashamed to admit that we have activated this simple rule, and have dismissed members who could not follow and respect this policy. While sometimes viewed as harsh, it has allowed our guild and overall inter-game community to grow and prosper, becoming stronger for it and respecting the loyalty given to us by our members.

PS: We have a contingent of current military and veterans. We are a patriotic guild, and are proud of it! We always appreciate and remember our heroes who fight for freedom all over the World, regardless of country of origin. We sincerely thank you. /salute

Hey fellow guardians,

So I have recently come back to the game and was hoping to get into raids with my guardian. My buddies are helping me get a set of ascended Armor and weapons, but I do not want to waste resources if I do not know what will work. Metabattle only really has one build, so I thought to ask here. If anyone has any info on what works in raids, particularly the tanking part, I would be very thankful.

if it is okay, I also would like to hit you up there sinthetix and learn a little more.

So, like my topic said, I am looking for a small guild that is focused on PVE and dabbles in the occasional PVP. I am hoping to bring a few other players with a situation similar to mine back into the game in the near future.

What I am looking for -

I don’t want a 200+ person guild. I want a guild that feels more like friends hanging out and having fun than a guild who is just either massing together because they can, or are more focused on in-game shineys than each other. I want people I actually know and care about to game with.

I would like a guild with a more active voice chat. I don’t particularity care which one, but its much more involving to speak to people than play an online game in silence.

Finally, I also hope to find a guild that is not going to force me and my friends into content. I am fine with scheduled events and required representation, but I don’t need to be told that I HAVE to game otherwise I will not be accepted.

Why is it that almost everything I am doing today is getting me disconnected? Creating a character claims the servers are down or there is a network error. logging in disconnects me 75% of the time. Entering a dungeon, zoning out, using a waypoint and I disconnect. WTF is going on.

Its nice that you are fixing things, but why does something have to break everytime you do?

Also, the TP is not sending purchased good to people, just eating their money.

I would like to first say that I like GW2. I think the game has much promise, and many things were done properly. However, I also believe that their are things that where done poorly, and while some of this post might have a “should have been” feeling to it, most of the ideas can still be implemented. This post also may end up a bit long, as I am trying to cover a lot of ground, as well as implementing ideas that I have spoken to others about..

GAMEPLAY

The actual feel of combat in GW2 is one of the best I have played to date. Its fast, action oriented and impact-full, but can be boring at times due to its simplicity. Due to the limited amount of skills/weapon attacks, once you find something that works, it can become repetitive. Changing specs to favor other weapons or skill sets is time consuming. This could be changed by adding additional trait set-ups and armor sets.

The lack of a trinity(T3) dependency system is interesting, but at the same time changes a lot about the game. The T3 system kept groups balanced and dependent on each other. You needed the tank to take a beating so dps could go to work. The healer kept people alive when they made mistakes. I am not saying the GW2 system should be scrapped and revamped to a T3 system, but some of its traits should be implemented somehow. Maybe a greater dependency on a class that can take blows and draw bosses away from the more vulnerable members of the group, or maybe a greater role for those who can heal/support the rest of the group. Yes I know you CAN fill these roles, but I feel like a dependancy on these classes to build better communities and guilds is missing, but I will talk of that later.

I also feel like the penalty for death is not high enough to keep encounters challenging. Older games caused you to loose the fight, experience, gold, etc when you died. GW2, you loose a bit of money to repair. Your party doesn’t even miss you much, since your gone for about 15-20 seconds in a run-back. Sadly, WoW had the best balance imo, if you died, you lost money to repair, yes, but your party also lost a fighting member. Once everyone died, you wiped, and started over. Fustrating, yes, but not an end of the world moment. I feel like GW2 should shift more towards that sort of difficulty, and make death meaningful in a dungeon at least.

SOCIAL

I think GW2 dropped the ball big-time in the social aspect of the game. Yes, you can join multiple guilds, and do all sorts of content with other people around, but there is never the feel of a group, guild or community.

The multiple guild joining is a joke. Everyone seems to have formed a guild, and then join 4 others either looking for more online players, or to do different aspects of the game. 1 guild for PVE, 1 guild for PVP, 1 guild for dungeons, etc. Why GW2 doesn’t have alliances like GW did is beyond me. Setting up the social aspect to join a guild with your friends, so you have a “private” setting for yourselves, and then joining the larger alliance to get group stuff done works so much better than this joke of 5 guilds.

The guild itself is also not much needed atm in GW2, except for maybe a set group of players to WvWvW in, so you can create your own Zerg. The T3 system (mentioned b4) helped shape guilds around groups of players to focus on dungeons and raids. Without a need for such positions filled, you can pug any 4 other players to do things. PVP is the same way, and doing large events, like DE’s and WvWvW basically come down to Zergs anyway, that there isn’t much need for a guild.

STORY

The story has been on of the most disappointed part of GW2 for me. When watching videos prior to release, the mention of personal story and the effect it would have on your whole game play experience made it sound like it would dominate much of what your character does. In fact, it does not. You have two “chapters” that follow your choices, then a generic chapter with slight choice, followed by a solid generic chapter, then a second generic chapter with slight choice, then a mainstream storyline (yes, that was a bit rough to say, but I do not want to spoil anything for anyone). While this cannot be changed, and I will not go into the what it should have been part, there are ways to help make your choices matter again. Once you clear the set story arc for each race, it should open up smaller stories for each zone in the game. The smaller stories should be based on WARNING:SPOILER the choice of order you picked, as they all have some part to play in Tyria. This could also be an impetus to bring high level players back to lower level zones, if only for a smaller bit of time.

I am sorry this was so long, and there is much more I could have put in and typed, but these are the major points of issue I saw and potential ways to address them.
