I got credit for 3 out of 10 games that I played yesterday… Please fix this.
This definitely feels like it is unintended. This is the only achievement that many of my guildies are missing because it takes too long for camps to get neutralized.
This issue was fixed for a day or so. Now it just spins and when it completes it shows a list other than that of the large guild. It appears to be my friends list. Looking at the achievements of your guild appears to break frequently for the larger guilds.
It has always worked intermittently. I find that at off-peak times it is more likely for it too load.
Chris’s question was asked on reddit, which lets us more clearly see what the majority of the players want. As expected, “Guild Management Features” received the most upvotes.
Can we PLEASE for the love of all that is holy get an official response about guild features?

We are gearing up for the WvW league, come join our ranks and transfer to our server. Our main focus will always remain PvE and achievement hunting, but we will have a much larger presence in WvW in the coming weeks.
Rayrran, you should check out Darkhaven Elite. First, I must point out that we require 100% rep and would want you to eventually transfer to our server, so I hope that’s not a problem.
We are a large semi-hardcore guild, but we have some casual members too. Our main focus is PvE, but we do everything.
Unfortunately Saturday is a bad day for us, but we would be happy to join just to get a feel for your guild, if that were possible?
Of course, contact me or another one of our officers in game to join up. We run all missions on Saturdays and on Fridays (for those who missed Saturday), so you can try to catch those too.
We have a 100% rep requirement, I feel like I have to mention this since a lot of players are not ok with it.
Sorry to break it to you, but the server transfer discount is faux.
Only 6 servers in NA are “High”, and are discounted to 800 gems. All others still cost 1800 gems.
However, I do have a great PvE guild that would fit your needs. We are on the Darkhaven server. I think the best way to get a feel for how organized our guild is in PvE is to join on our mission run. Contact me or one of our officers in game on Saturday, and then guest over for missions.
Switch to the Bronze League!
And if you also want top notch PvE, choose Darkhaven!
Although our two big WvW zerg guilds left for Gold League servers, Darkhaven is still in good standing to get 1st place in Bronze League. Come experience WvW without queues, WvW where one person makes a difference, WvW that’s very organized yet small scale. And where better to do it than a server with a great community and solidarity like Darkhaven? (Hint: There is nowhere better)
Come to Darkhaven, bring a guild or bring a friend. If you switch without a guild and want to do some very organized WvW but also enjoy or want to get into PvE, look out for DHE tags and talk to them about joining up.

@Chris Whiteside
As an active player and forum reader/contributor since Beta, I have definitely noticed the many improvements to the game that originated from the community and ended up being implemented. I respect Anet for seriously taking player suggestions and shaping their game in the direction that the community wants to see it go.
However, I think the turn-around time from when suggestions are made to when they are released (if they are released) is something that needs serious improvement. A couple examples that come to mind are Edit Guild Message of the Day and Targeting without a party. Both are great quality of life improvements and I’m very glad that they are now part of the game, but I’m disappointed that it took over a year for them to be implemented even though they were constantly being suggested since day 1.
There are still many similar things for which the community has asked over and over, but have not even received an official response. Two which are in my opinion most important and most frequently suggested are Guild Features and TP Search Options. I feel that after one year, Anet has no excuse for not at the very least addressing these issues. Is that something we can ask for right now?
As for continual improvements, I think a good way to get a feel for what the community really wants is to monitor Reddit, as quality of life game improvement suggestions usually surface to the front page every couple days. Seeing a greater percentage of them come to life would really solidify this Dev-Community bond that you are describing.
We are still looking for more semi-hardcore players to join our ranks.
It sounds like it probably is a timeout setting.
My guild heavily relies on the information available on the leaderboards – please fix it.
I’m experienced and have TS. Looking for a guild that is organized and experienced at killing Tequatl.
I think I have a guild that will suit you.
Take our compatibility quiz: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/DH-Semi-Hardcore-Guild-Seeking-New-Blood/first#post2833225
Since you’re on Darkhaven, you’re in luck. DHE perfectly fits your description.
I won’t be in-game this week, but feel free to contact Cexy Beast or Mone Abrahms to talk about joining the guild.
No official response?
Come meet us in TeamSpeak, we don’t bite.
I agree, but this might be hard to implement.
What’s a bigger slap in the face is that if you were there for the whole 20 minutes for Jormag and got dced for last 30 seconds, but another person came just for the last 30 seconds they get a full reward and you get nothing.
Yes, too much too ask.
I think one fractal weapon of your choice when you hit 500 would be very appropriate, but making it repeatable would make fractals weapons just as useless as zenith weapons.
If this alone is enough to make you quit the game then there might be other issues.
We do dungeons 24/7 and you sound like you would pass our screening. Go fill out an app on our website.
Hey Devin,
Your home server does matter to us, so only if you are willing to transfer to Darkhaven then I have the perfect guild for you. You can join and then take a week or two to make sure you like the guild before transferring though.
Darkhaven Elite [DHE] is well established and has many active, experienced members. It takes us under 1 hour to complete all missions, and we run them 3 times per week at scheduled times to make sure all members get their weekly rewards. We are mainly focused on PvE, so we have groups doing fractals and dungeons pretty much at all times.
We have a really good bunch of people who are always in TS, so if you like using voice chat and being social then that’s a big plus.
Hope to see you in our ranks one day.
Are the devs serious? Please bring me a dev who plays ele and I will play him with each of the other 7 classes to show him how bad ele is right now…
Is this a troll thread? I dont understand.
I think so. I’m surprised there are so many serious responses.
CrispyAlt,
I hope you have not settled for a guild yet because Darkhaven Elite ideally matches your description. We are well-established (started in BWE 1), highly regarded by all long time players on our server, and heavily PvE focused.
Take the DHE compatibility quiz to see if you fit in – https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Semi-Hardcore-PvX-Guild-Seeking-New-Blood/first#post2666467
Then go to our site to fill out an app and join us on TS.
No, SAB has not been ruined.
SAB is still great like it always was, but some casual players might find it less appealing due to slightly increased difficulty.

I don’t see a reason for this not to be available.
Not likely, I think our population is still “Very High”, which is why we got no transfers to begin with, and which is why the 4 WvW guild we did have left.
I would pay $200 for an expansion that made guilds feel like guilds.
I already know we will finish in the bottom 3 of our league, and frankly I couldn’t care less. I just hope Anet wont punish everyone on our server for having a small WvW population.
I’m not saying I won’t WvW. I’ll definitely go out there every week to help my server.
What I am saying is that there are some things which could possibly be part of an achievement which would not be achievable depending on which server you are on.
For example: “Take Stonemist”, “Get 1st or 2nd Place in a match”, “Take 50% of a map”, “Take an enemy Garrison”, etc.
I hope the Seasonal Achievements are more in line with the current daily achievements (except scaled up). This would be reasonable, even though capping a tower can sometimes take up to 3 hours on low WvW pop servers.
I’m on Darkhaven, and we are about halfway down the list. However, due to the upcoming league, all 4 of our WvW guilds just left for more WvW oriented servers.
This leaves our WvW completely empty. I fear that if one of the Seasonal Achievements is to take Stonemist (even once), then no one on our server will be able to do it.
I’m just responding to add volume to the general opinion. Please make wxp account bound.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/welcome-to-world-vs-world-season-1/
Making temporary achievements gated by WvW ability of your server is the biggest encouragement I have ever seen to transfer servers. My server has a very small WvW population and now I have to consider transferring servers to not miss out on these achievements and the title.
Any thoughts?
Because in 20 years you will proudly look back and say: “Yes thats me, i was positioned 78th on GW2 achivement leaderboard, dont you recognize me people?”
You can say the same about anything an average person will accomplish in their life… What’s your point?
Most people enjoy being competitive for the sake of competitiveness, not to earn something that they can tell their grandchildren about.
Achievement points mean nothing.
They mean nothing and that’s why they are the metric that Anet uses for leaderboards ranking: https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/achievements
Everyone here is excited about the upcoming WvW league, but I have to ask some important questions. I read that the league will reward the winning servers with bonuses that affect PvE as well.
Then, what happens to PvE player bases? Should they all switch servers to the winning WvW servers? Is that an intended solution for balancing out servers, by filling up the top WvW servers with non-WvW players?
This will also heavily drop the populations of the losing servers. Is there any plan to eventually eliminate or merge those servers?
+1
The Breached Wall is another one with no chest.
Because no.
I feel like this does not need much explanation but I will give one anyway:
1000 is a limit that the OP is asking for because that’s what he wants. What about a guild that has 2342 members across 6 guilds, should the cap be expanded to 2500 for them? Where do we draw the line?
Also, more importantly, I think the 500 cap is more than enough. My guild has hhit the cap on multiple occasions. When that happened, instead of creating new sister guilds (which is what I assume the OP’s guild did), we stopped recruiting. After a couple weeks of not recruiting and kicking inactive members, we were again able to continue recruiting.
Given the nature of the game and how players are destined to quit playing at one point or another, I suggest just halting recruitment until you get your numbers down to 500 and then merging into one guild.
Seeing as most people here are unable to comprehend what I am asking for, or even why a completionist would feel compelled to complete all dailies, I will stop responding to this thread.
I hope Anet is already aware of the issue and will eventually fix it.
But OP doesn’t need to come out here and say Anet’s at fault and dailies need to go. I can handle myself thanks. I have common sense.
Please don’t put words in my mouth. I love dailies.
I think having to complete 5 out of 15 dailies is very fun and enjoyable.
I think having to complete 10 out of 15 for achievement points would also be fun and not too much too ask.
Having to do 15/15 is a burden.
I want all the legendaries, but I can’t play the way I want to play to do it.
If you put in as much time as Anet asks of you to complete all dailies every week towards getting legendaries, you would be popping out a new legendary every week.
Edit: In other words, it is not the dailies that burn people out but the desire to be on top of the leaderboard.
Yes, I agree. But Anet advertises GW2 as a game where you can “play the way you want to play”. Yet, if you want to compete with the leaderboards you can’t play the way you want to play.
If I have 4 hours to commit to the game on a given day, I’d love to spend 2 hours doing my dailies, an hour in dungeons, and an hour in WvW. Instead, on some days I have to spend the entire 4 hours doing dailies if I wish to remain on the leaderboard.
So, cause being “hardcore” is proving too “hardcore”, you want them to cap off the AP so the players that are more dedicated to being “hardcore” then you won’t pass you while you recoop? Is that what I’m getting?
You play doing how you feel by doing all your dailies. If you don’t feel like doing them all, you don’t have to because you don’t feel like it. However, if you’re competing for rank, you can’t go asking them to cripple the leader’s AP gain just so you can keep up.
It’s like complaining to the judges in a race whenever someone passes you.
This is your assumption from a standpoint of someone who has not had to put up with this over the past year.
If you ask the 1000 players on the top 1000 ranking how they feel, over 9000 of them will agree that the PvE dailies are too much. People are literally quitting the game because of this issue, I just want Anet to be aware of it.
The races I would personally like most:
1. Largos
2. Skritt
3. Kodan
4. Dwarf
5. Tengu
6. Quaggan
here is an option: quit dailies, dnt quit game…
That’s how I tried to convince them too. But one responded:
“I have 3000 hours played, I’ve worked very hard to be in the top 100 achievement ranking. If I don’t commit 4 hours strictly to dailies for a few weeks, I’ll drop 400 spots on the ranking. I need to find a game that requires less of a daily time commitment and let’s me play how I want.”

I don’t understand the viewpoint of “completionist have a problem with repeatable content”. Do they also salvage items until they’ve done agent of entropy 250 times?
How did they ever get out of Sanctum Sprint (or any other repeatable activity/achievement).
It’s quite simple:
There is no rush to complete the achievements you mentioned because they are permanent.
Dailies, on the other hand, if you miss one it is gone forever. You can never go back and get it again.
I view this issue as a conflict between two groups.
…
I don’t think you have those groups down quite right. The people who have been completing every daily and have 10k+ points fit more into the group that wants to play the game. However, when the dailies take 4 hours on some days, and you add work/family/school into the equation, this starts to become a chore after a few months.
All I’m asking is to cap the number of AP at 10 per day, that way both the people who can’t always commit 4 hours, and the people who want to do more than just 5 dailies will be satisfied.
I’m sure 90% of the people with 10k+ achievement points will agree with me because every single one that I have spoken with seemed to share the same opinion.
No

I realize the issue is partly personal, but Anet is partly at fault too. They promote Achievement Points by making them the ONLY measurable aspect of the game on which they rank PvX players.
That is why I suggested a very simple fix, which everyone who responded did not even read before posting a response.
