I feel your pain. Fear not, Darkhaven Elite is here to save the day. We are a semi-hardcore guild predominantly focused on PvE, but we do have a few weekly (very organized) WvW outings as well.
I can tell you that we have quite a few players who were in your situation and then were very happy to make DHE their home, but I think you should experience it for yourself.
Go ahead and transfer over to Darkhaven, and sign up on our website -http://www.darkhavenelite.us/
If you want to see more info about us you can check out http://www.gw2guilds.org/view-guild/852, but no description can do it justice.
Welcome to DHE and looking forward to playing with you soon.
I see how this would work for uncluttering the TP, but I think the timer should be no shorter than 1 month.
Good luck. I lead a large guild and have been asking for these features since day one. I have given up at this point.
Here is my suggestion: Make a guild website and make signing up mandatory. Sure, some members will hate you for it and will leave your guild, but at least you will be able to keep track of some basic information about your guild members.
Hey DamienMovado,
I run a guild that has a family feel and we already have a few couples in our guild. We are on Darkhaven, and we have an active group of core players who are always on Mumble. We put having fun in the game above everything else.
For more info check us out at http://www.gw2guilds.org/view-guild/852
or if you want to join you can go straight to our website http://www.darkhavenelite.us
I know that with the decreasing player base, some guilds are finding that many of their members are becoming inactive. Large numbers of inactive members can cause active members to break off and lead to the guild’s downfall.
If you are in this situation, one solution to avoid this would be to merge with another guild. Darkhaven Elite is currently looking for a guild to merge with. We have a roster of over 400, but only around 30-50 are on at any given time. We also have a 200 slot mumble server that usually only has around 20 slots filled.
We would love to get to know and start playing with a whole new group of players. I’m sure there are many things that we could learn from each other. We are a PvX guild, with about 60% PvE, 30% WvW, and 10% sPvP focus. You can see more info about us at http://www.gw2guilds.org/view-guild/852
If you are a guild leader and would like to discuss a merge in more detail, please message me here or in-game (Kuzzi).
I could tell you all about how Darkhaven Elite is the perfect guild for you, but so could anyone else. Since you have already bounced through guilds and did not find one that is right for you, give us a try it won’t hurt. Most players who were in your situation settled when they stumbled upon DHE.

I’d like to invite you to Darkhaven Elite. We are a medium sized guild (~300) but our core members (~50) are all very close together. We are mostly focused on PvE but we also do guild WvW a few times each week.

No one in my 400+ person guild got this drop during the event.
Hey Zavkiel,
I represent Darkhaven Elite and we can take you under our wing. We do not have a strict age requirement but we do require that all members be mature. I know that’s probably 50/50 at your age, but you are still welcome to join. We actually have one officer who is 16, although the average age for others is ~30.

Best. Guild. Ever.
Hey SitBackToRelax,
I run an established guild, Darkhaven Elite, and think we would be a good fit for you. We run dungeons all the time. Go ahead and download Mumble and do a couple runs with us. We offer a 7 day money back guarantee.

Hey Professor H, not sure if you have found a guild yet, but I’d like to invite you to Darkhaven Elite. Our main goal is to have fun, and we use all of the game’s content to achieve this goal. For more info check us out at http://www.gw2guilds.org/view-guild/852

I love the sylvari light helm and the human medium helm
If you come up with something for Asura I will support it all the way because I hate all of the current cultural Asura items.
I like this suggestion but I think /resign wouldn’t be the right command for it. It kind of makes it sound like the party is quitting.
Maybe /checkpoint would work better
I’d like it to be account bound at the very least so i dont have blueprints from 4 different characters cluttering up my bank
That is how I feel too.
Actually, I feel they should be account bound and you should not be able to transfer them between players by dropping/picking up.
I don’t want devs to respond to every suggestion, obviously they have better things to do.
What I am really asking for in this post is for a forum mod to simply respond to the most active suggestions that have been positively received by the player base. There are dozens of suggestions that have been around since the betas and are cluttering this forum because someone brings them up on a daily basis. (ex. Last Login in Guild, Duels, changes to WvW Commanders, out-of-combat weapon swap for ele/engi)
Anyone who frequents this forum knows that some suggestions have been brought up hundreds of times. I think it would be nice if we received an official response about any of these suggestions, because it would reduce the number of suggestions and allow future suggestions to be more relevant instead of constantly reiterating the same things.
This puzzle was much easier than the clock tower.
I am actually rather disappointed that I was able to complete this JP on my second try, and I hope that future puzzles are harder – more like the Halloween JP.
I agree, I think the points should go to the team that dealt the most damage.
I approve this message.
I don’t have a fancy mouse but I still like different bindings for different characters.
Keys should be more common drops. I know they are exotic quality but drops are too rare.
With my luck I get about a key every 100 hours of play.
You are lucky then. I’ve gotten one in 900 hours.
I think nothing is more disappointing than coming onto this forum, making a suggestion, seeing a very positive response from the player community, and then having 3 months pass by without any response from the devs. I know players who have quit the game because of this very reason. I don’t expect the suggestion to be implemented, but if a feature is widely supported by players then I think it would be nice to hear some sort of response about the devs’ view of it.
Please assign someone to screen the Suggestions forum and respond to posts with:
“This is already in the works”
“Thanks for the suggestion, I see how it could work so I’ll throw it into the idea box”
“This is not feasible”
“This will not be implemented because …”
Having an active mod in this forum would mean so much to the player community.
Or, bring back Lionguard Lyns. It is outrageous that she has been restocking for 3 weeks.
Yup. Simply don’t buy RNG-stuff. You knew in advance and still you put those $ in.
I want the quaggan. It is not fair that a friend of mine got one for $10 and I paid $60 and still have only 2 minis.
I support anything to prevent people from using MF gear in dungeons.
Please don’t.
Implementing an improved LFG system will suffice.
1st: We need a 1vs1 dueling system! Some people might argue with me about balancing issues but who the heck cares?!?! It’s just a duel. With a duel system i would just go PvP others when i’m bored of everything else in the game.
2nd: Need an inspect option so you can see others gear / traits etc. I really miss this alot while playing and i don’t know why it wasn’t implented from the start.
I support both of these.
I also would like to see Last Login feature in guilds and preview on the TP.
If these 4 suggestions were implemented I’d give this game a 10/10.
I have been seeing these bots around too.
I just really wish Arenanet would respond to bot reports quicker because there have been occasions where I reported a bot and then saw the same bot running around 2 weeks later. Giving the bots that much time really hurts the economy.
40 boxes = 1 golem, 1 snowman
Am I really expected to pay $20 more just to have a chance to get the quaggan?
I think all minis should be tradeable, and they should all be part of the same collection.
Glad to see the script fix is working for some people, good work!
No chest for me yet though. Maybe I am just being greedy because I did get a chest when I ran on one character. Then, when I tried running on another later that’s when I was getting lag issues and missed the chest. I still feel like those 2 hours of work deserved a second reward, especially since I know people who did not even log on that day got chests.
I’m not sure why the suggestion that has already been brought up, which says to patch things up by simply giving a chest to everyone who has not received one in the mail yet, is getting shut down. From an unbiased viewpoint, I see that as the only fair solution.
I appreciate that you’re trying to help, and thanks for the ideas. I can tell you why it won’t work, and you can see that in this very thread:
- But they got one and I attended. Give me two.
- But you accidentally gave my friend a chest and he already looted, where I was disconnected and couldn’t loot. Give me another.
The arguments you bring up are a bigger issue now than they would be after the fix I suggested. It appears you did not read my entire original post, and I can’t blame you because you are getting bombarded with posts right now. However, please read it to see my full argument for this solution.
At the current state, you have a problem that you cannot leave alone because there are still people who deserved chests and did not receive them. This will always be the case unless you do what I suggested. If you send chests to everyone, you will be able to flag the problem as fixed. At most 5% of the people who are complaining right now will still complain, but you will be able to move on and focus on future content.
I’m not sure why the suggestion that has already been brought up, which says to patch things up by simply giving a chest to everyone who has not received one in the mail yet, is getting shut down. From an unbiased viewpoint, I see that as the only fair solution.
Here is my breakdown of the issue:
Let’s consider the problem at hand logically. The devs who told you “The script was thoroughly tested and there is no way there could have been a mistake” clearly overlooked something in the code because we have had plenty of people bring up cases that suggest otherwise. There is no need for anyone to take blame for that though, because it’s software and bugs are bound to happen. However, the first step is to acknowledge that the script failed.
The cases of failures that occurred can be summed up into these categories:
1. Player participated in event but did not get a chest
2. Player participated in the event, got a chest, and then got another one
3. Player did not participate in the event and got a chest
Rather than trying to repair the damage which would take days and would be guaranteed to still leave some people unsatisfied, why not just implement a quick fix and let people move on? I can guarantee you that if you keep trying to patch the script up to find only the people who deserved a chest but did not receive one, you will only dig yourself into a deeper hole. This approach would most likely lead to more people who did not deserve the chest getting one, some people getting a second mailed chest, and definitely some people who participated in the event still not getting a chest.
Instead, I would like you to seriously consider the obvious solution that will satisfy everyone – just send a chest to everyone you have not sent one to yet. I know you aim to do what’s fair, but that is no longer an option since people who did not deserve chests received them. At this point, you need to focus on what will satisfy the player base. Please consider putting the customer first and bring this idea up to the team.
Thanks for reading, I hope you are able to find the best solution.
EDIT: I would like to add that I am not just talking out of my puppy. I have a phd in computer science and 5 years as a software engineer under my belt. Please take my advice when I say that you are solving the wrong problem. Send the people their chests, and let your devs work on game content and future events…
(edited by Kuzzi.2198)
I was one of the people who participated in the long event but didn’t get a chest. And… I got no mail…
On the other hand, I have a few people in my guild who got the chest even though they did not have this happen to them. One person did not even log into the game on the day on the event. Another person completed the event and got a chest and now got another one.
I think the only fair solution to this chaos would be to send a chest to every player who had not received one in the mail yet. This way, no one will complain because everyone will have gotten a chest. And.. I wouldn’t care that much if some people get a second one while others only get their first – mostly because I know there are people who got 5 during the actual event.
Your 8pm is someone else’s midnight.
Although, I do think they should standardize the reset to be midnight PST.

I agree that after spending so much on a title, it should be account bound.
However, there should be a way to limit the number of Commanders. This should be done by either scaling the cost for the Commander title with the number of commanders on the server (For example 100g + 1g per commander). Or, an even better solution would be for the cost of commander to include badges of honor. And those could scale too. The cost of commander with this scheme would be:
100g + 500badges + (10s and 2 badges) per existing commander.
I did not plan to make this suggestion when I started posting, so if it has a positive response I’ll make it in a new thread.
I agree. Even though I am an Elementalist and the Bitfrost is awesome, so I don’t care for another staff per say. I do feel bad for the bow users though – both the legendary short and long bows are very feminine.
I fully support dueling and I think that any location should be fair game as long as both players agree.
This is how I read your suggestion:
“Hey ANet, can you write a bot for me?”
Maybe I misinterpreted it. But as is, I am against this suggestion.
I hate all sorts of spam so I’ll have to disagree with this suggestion.
I wouldn’t have a need for this feature because all my buddies are also my guild mates (I’d even suggest forming/joining a guild with your buddies).
However, I don’t see anything wrong with this feature either, so here you go:

I really like this idea. It would make sentries more worth buying.
If you want to pay $15 a month, no one is stopping you.
I’m a dye collector and I have invested a lot of time and gold into dyes. I have about 90% of the dyes unlocked on my character at the moment. I really love collecting dyes and I have had guild members help me by linking all the dyes they pick up and asking if I already have it.
However, the lack of the two features mentioned in the title really gives me no incentive to try to complete my collection. I hope that ANet adds an achievement for unlocking all the dyes (there is no reason for them not to). Also, please make dyes account wide. The sooner you make this change the better, because there will be fewer people complaining that they had unlocked the Abyss dye on multiple characters. The process of unlocking all dyes is very costly and I see no reason to having to do it on every character separately.
Absolutely not. ANet should not give money to goldsellers.
I think having in-game mods is a much more reasonable solution. For every bot caught, ban the bot and everyone who was ever sent gold from that account.
Also, I hope this happens soon. The game economy has suffered so much it might hit the point of no return shortly..
I will sign every suggestion that talks about this even though there are thousands. I desperately need this feature.
^ Example of lack of anet’s 4 main goals: equality, fairness, justice, fun. A person can get it off a lucky drop or on the 1st try at the forge, while thousands of others who each 300g+ on the forge will get nothing for it, not even any progress?
I know someone who got The Legend on his very first MF combination. I have done close to 1000 and am yet to see a precursor.
I want justice!
I love the downed state in PvE.
I think I might like PvP more without it though.
No sir, you are wrong. The need for Last Login and Influence Earned info IS a “OMG WE NEED IT NOW!” kinda thing. I know a few guilds who have fallen apart and stopped playing the game due to the lack of these (and other guild related) features.
This has been suggested plenty of times before, and hopefully is in development.

I have sunk over 100g into the mystic forge and have gotten nothing out.
I use Chrome and it does that for me.
