Some other issue comes with Guesting, where far I know guilds do not earn influence if we are guesting in another server, neither the bonus from the Home server are added there.
Thinkin that way members of a Guild can’t also Guest in another server?
What’s wrong with you guys?
Asura thing.
There are issues with dungeons and thoose PRO that want everything OP; experienced, etc…
The game is getting this way, 2 Groups, PROs and Noobs.
- PROs don’t play with Noobs.
- Noobs must figure out by themselfs how to do things.
That in some aspects, the most of the game it’s very friendly.
Asura thing.
Multi-guild does work fine. However its up to guilds to deal with it the way they wish. I prefer if all my guild mates represent my guild. That way the chat will be more active and it will be easier to get together a full guildrun for something. And, its way more fun.
There should be possible create an TAB for a chat of a guild we aren’t rep. :P
Asura thing.
There are multi-guild guilds and guilds who don’t allow for guild hopping reasons:
Community: Maintaining a solid active community within guild wars 2 requires, you can guess activity. If people represent other guilds then they aren’t contributing to solidifying the guilds community.
Influence: For the guild to provide guild bonuses they require influence which is only gained from members that represent.
Loyalty: It’s an extension of community, but it’s still very important. Why be in a guild if you don’t want to spend all your time with them? As a guild leader I’m loyal to my members, dedicated. I expect everyone to be the same at least somewhat. It makes for a stronger community. Why should I be the only one to dedicate all my time to work hard for the guild if my members just take advantage of the ‘perks’ yet not contribute accordingly?
There’s plenty of guilds who allow guild hopping. If that’s what you want you can seek those out but don’t start raging at guild leaders trying to keep their guild strong if you do not understand their position.
Guilds and it members share responsibility for the guild, if you just want to do whatever you want to do with whomever you want to do it with then that’s your prerogative but guilds aren’t all about ‘you’ it’s about ‘us’
Edit: At least guilds focused on social communities, not specialized guilds which the guild hopping system is designed for.
Multi-guild should work better. Without limit of members for big guilds (no idea why it’s limited), and alliances and something like that to can be in several guilds, since most of the guilds are focus only in PVP, WvW, PVE, Dungeons, players that are into a more PVP guild, and can’t represent other guilds when they want to do PVE, get limited to how they play.
What I mean is that or we go to the content the guild is focused on, or we must leave it.
Asura thing.
I already gaved up doing that. Is the most boring thing you can possible do in this game, since it is too grindy, farmy, and takes a looooooong time.
Asura thing.
Noone asks people to represent for the influence. Its because there is no guild feeling if you represent another guild all the time.
Then we should change the way we play and be limited because one X guild we are and like to be there doesn’t make WvW or PVP for example?
Thoose guilds should let us play with another guilds for we don’t have a limited playing. In a guild I was I also gone to WvW alone and tryed to manage myself, because the guild didn’t wanted to do any organized event for that.
No there isn’t? I’m in a Guild with over 400 members, and our roster just keeps growing.
There is, 500. For No idea why it just makes it worse, because guilds near cap very easy kick us if we don’t represent, I have NO IDEA why there is a cap since there are guilds with thousands of members that need to make multiple guilds to handle just 1.
Asura thing.
I just left thoose guilds. It’s sad because they were of my language but Now I need to find some new International guilds without that issues that block us to play only with them.
Asura thing.
This is madness, I was in about 5 Portuguese Guilds since game started and they ALL demanded us to represent 100% of the time!
I don’t know what you guys are talking about just Guilds of my country there is none that doesn’t force us to represent all the time.
And The Big Issue is that If I want to go to guilds that doesn’t force me to represent, I can’t stay in my own Language guilds, that got that rule….
For example, I can’t WvW with my WvW guild because the main one doesn’t let me to stop rep, and they itself doesn’t do WvW, then i’m… lost.
Asura thing.

the guilds are not tied to servers, so every guild exist on every server. But the guild upgrade’s are tied to them so if you on other server you won’t get access to thing like guild bank, armorsmith or guild bonuses to mf or karma etc. Guild influence is also separated.
So.
1) the only limitation is that you will always get guild bonuses of your orginal world, so if you guild is active only on the server you guesting you won’t get any access to upgrade’s, unless you build them on your orginal world.
2)Yes
3) If you mean by joining party in events and dungeons then yes.
4) You can represent but all influence you earn will go to influence of guild in your home server not the guesting one, and only people from your home server would have access to that influence.
You saying that the same guild doesn’t have the same influence on every server? If we represent the guild of another server and play in our home, wont that guild get the influence?
Asura thing.
Heya.
I’m wondering since we can have several guilds, but really we can’t. Because all guilds don’t want us to stop representing them.
Why soo many rage? Why isn’t the multi-guild system working in a better way?
I have 2 guilds I’d like to play with, but they demand me to represent all the time. I just try to be Offline to avoid be warned about not representing and still be in the two of them.
The guilds aren’t really of the samething, one is PVE, other is WvW, and I hate when I’m events with PVE Guild getting rage from officers of the WvW one saying to represent it. Argh.
Update: I just left both of them right now, now i’m without guild, and wont be able to enter a new guild of my language because can’t find any without that rule… But that’s Ok.
Asura thing.
(edited by Max Lexandre.6279)
I’m wondering.
Are guilds limited in Guesting too?
Can I join an guild of other server even If I am in mine?
If yes, can I join the guild members while guesting in their server?
If yes, it will work fine when representing, even in the other server?
Thanks.

Well it does say that the february patch is the Second of a Four part installment.
Of Living Story? I hope for more content in that stories, the first part was something I can’t understand, too little content for a month.
About Big Updates I hope they come, for now It looks the 2012 Updates was bigger, this can’t be bigger than the fractals one for example. Sure it wont, at least by what it says in the update page.
They said the updates in total would be bigger. Not each individual one.
And this month’s story content was a prelude. Think of it as an author releasing a few lines of his latest book.
But even prelude there must be new content. It isn’t like, one month that quest to help people… When the next update comes, people already lost their track of the story.
What I mean, if they want this Living Story to work, there must be enough content to play for a month, since the updates are monthly. And not doing all in 1 day, and wait 1 month for next content.
Asura thing.
So what do you want exactly?
Guaranteed exotic to drop from a dragon?
Guaranteed exotic or rare swould be nice. But then the chest would be limited to be looted once 24h or something for no farm on it.
Asura thing.
I belive ANet wanted to do more but surely it was delayed. This isn’t that BIG they promissed, I guess we may see it later on.
For Now I hope this month updates are big enough, for guilds… And mostly, Living Story, last month one was useless, really no way that’s enough content for a month.
Asura thing.
I agree Chikens have better drops than the Dragons Itself.
It’s sad but it’s true, but now you talked about it… Nerf incoming!
Asura thing.
I don’t understand ANet in this also. It still worthless and a waste of time killing vet/champ.
For me rarely I see them drop some loot, what more about better loot than normal mobs…
Asura thing.

I’m pretty sure they said that:
- It would be an expansions worth with all combined
- CJ then said that that was in terms of features
- They also said that the Jan update would be relatively small
I can’t remember them saying that it would be the biggest, or bigger than all 2012 updates.
In Reddit one AMA last one, they said it would be “January update as an preparation to the huge updates coming next months, that’s why it was a small update”. In that same AMA DEVs said it was going to be bigger than all updates that existed till now (2012 ones).
Asura thing.
Heya. I don’t want to sound rude, I love the things coming to the game this month.
But also, I remember the DEVs said several times that February/March Updates would be the biggest the game as ever had, I remember some post on forum/Reddit AMA saying “biggest than all 2012 updates together”.
Now I see at the update page, and… It’s just that or it is incomplete?
Or the “big” update of this month was delayed?
Anyway i’m happy with the update anyways, just that thing the DEVs said it was going to be huge, as they said to January was a “Small Update” (words of the DEVs).
Sorry my english
Asura thing.
(edited by Max Lexandre.6279)
It would say: It’s impossible to make an non-farming MMO. PERIOD.
Asura thing.
In a way now I remember that in about Items for gem store housing would be huge, but it needs to be interactive enough and fun to visit other players, and have parties at our home, everything.
With house items, expansions, etc… It’s good for ANet itself xD
Asura thing.
I’m not having problems with fractal Loot. But yes with Veterans and Champions where they said it was improved, No way it was, or it was something like 1% bigger chance. —’
Asura thing.
Its strange to see where the game is headed, it’s hard to tell, somethings give us Grindy and Boring future for the game, other’s some hope of still having fun with all new things coming.
This month big patch I guess we all will know if the game is going in a good way or it will just follow things like Grind, Vertical progression, etc…
Asura thing.
DEVs talked to much about the Social side of the game, but about social this game is lacking alot. Friend list is useless, guilds are limited to a chat window and to make parties for especific things it’s a nightmare.
I can’t agree with the DEVs when they say the game is a Social Success.
Asura thing.
(edited by Max Lexandre.6279)
I’d like to see Housing but something more guild interactive or with friends and the world itself
Asura thing.
Far I know You are forced to do Fractals or the new Achivs.
Asura thing.
New Achivs and Laurels come with grind. If we want that Gear we are forced to do that, for example must do 5 dungeons this month for the laurels, thing I hate but I must.
Grind is that, and it’s here. They don’t give us much alternatives to get the things we want, then we must grind doing things we don’t like sometimes for get them.
Asura thing.
No. That’s why I don’t play in lower level zones and some other areas, they are not rewarding. In a simple way we are loosing our time playing there.
Asura thing.
I don’t feel it’s rewarding playing in Lower Level zones. There is just no good rewards, not by events, not by drops, not by chests. This will not work in make people go explore the low level zones.
Give us an POINT to go there in first place and I will be more than happy to do so
Asura thing.
YES, only in big expansions. I don’t see the POINT of launch an major expansion without leveling. I don’t like the fact that leveling is only in the first 1/2 weeks of the game, when we reach 80 leveling doesn’t exist anymore forever?
How will an big expansion work without leveling? Will be limited to exploring? —’
Asura thing.
Yup there is more fun and less farm and grind, that’s what the game needs.
Asura thing.
Sorry, but I disagree.
In my opinion one of the nicer aspects of the changing dailies is that it enhances the sense of community because people have a common goal. For example, on the first day there were a bunch of us in Wayfarers killing barracudas for the underwater kill achievement, and lots of talk in map chat about how to get the combo kills to work – it was fun.
This will get better when they introduce the 4/6 system and start having achievements which take players to particular areas. We’ll see much more activity in those areas for a short while which will help to alleviate the feeling of empty levelling zones.
I enjoy that sense of momentary camaraderie and shared purpose. I agree the crowds can sometimes slow things down, but that’s not such a bad thing in my opinion.
That happens in monthly, dailies can be done in pretty everywhere.
Now the Monthly, it says “go do fractals”, everybody goes. But why not spread more the players arround the content and say for some “go do fractals” and for others “go do dungeons”, things like that.
Asura thing.
I can see the threads already…
I have to do WvW for my monthly, but my guildie only has to salvage some stuff. I don’t want to do WvW! It’s not FAIR!
I do WvW all by myself and manage fine, I even do the dailies there alone. One way or another random would help to people spread about the game, and not focus all doing the samething because the Daily/Month quests.
Asura thing.
The camera was updated several times, It’s better but it’s still a PAIN in some jumping puzzles, where the Camera is our biggest enemy.
Asura thing.
I was in RAGE when I was almost completing and it reseted. No No No No No No Fair
Asura thing.
The only problem about more randomness would be the fact that people would still complain. Dailies are fine as is and so is monthly. Since the launch of the game I have yet to complete a monthly due to the fact i did not like something. So instead of complaining i just did not do it, plain and simple.
Well there will be some “grind” in this Monthly at least for me, what is going to do dungeons, thing I hate. And when we want that gear and I don’t see any better alternative, well If I must… ^^
Asura thing.
Devs try to avoid grind but they aren’t capable of doing so. The new changes require us to grind, and in my case because I want that gear I’m doing things I don’t like, and i’m not havin fun o get them. Because there is no alternative….
That’s grind.
Asura thing.
Heya.
I belive that if thoose Achivs was randon for every player, what means not only the daily/month change for everyone but yes every player got a diferent achiv quests to do…
It would be better. It’s more variety, now with like it’s the same for everyone, there is an Tsunami of people doing the samething as everyone else.
Don’t you agree?
Asura thing.
I don’t like doing Dungeons… But looks I’m forced to if I want some laurels…
I am forced because I want that Gear, and doing things we don’t like NOT HAVING FUN because the game doesn’t give us any alternative, it’s sad. But it’s not the end of the world.
Asura thing.
When now we have Laurels people are just “forced” to do it, or no laurels. And when there is something really frustrating to do in the Achiv, then people get mad.
I supose they can do some more interesting daily and monthly, to make players have more fun while doing it.
Also people complain when there is no other way to win that new Laurels. It’s the life.
Asura thing.
I hate to change my passwords, If this happens I will invent one and after, change it back to the old one.
UNLESS there is any security issue for we are getting forced to change the password.
Asura thing.
I’m a bit tired of th dynamic events systems at it is now, it’s dynamic but still, repeating over and over and over. About the new stories, it’s fine. But I would like to see some new way to interact with the world and not be limited to an event in a X area in a limited time.
Asura thing.
Dailies are fine for me. BUT they don’t make us “go back and explore the world we left behind”, I hope something for that is coming soon and that dailies are not what they wanted for us to explore more the world.
Asura thing.
It’s nice this way, the stories will come over the time (hope it’s not a big waiting for more content or people will not care about), and not all content at a single shot is fine for me.
Asura thing.
Yes indeed. Sometimes it runs in the background after I close, and I must end in the task manager. Also only after 28th update.
Asura thing.
Heya People.
The problem came in 28th patch. But for me in the last Build they did to fix issues no more Black Screen for me.
I didn’t do anything for fix it, it fixed itself I supose. Good luck with your issues
Asura thing.
Yep I’m also pretty annoyed (Being in the EU on an NA server) since since the update I’ve been getting increased latency lag, and I was really looking forward to guesting on an EU server, while still being able to support my guild, of which I am one of the higher ranking members.
I’m now limited to NA with lag sometimes causing 5+ second delays, or pay to go the EU and not be able to play with my friends.
“This is not what devs promised”
Yup, I was forced now to leave the BR guild where my friends are playing in NA, and start again in EU servers.
They did split the community.
Asura thing.
Well, just updated to the Beta Nvidia Drivers, the Black Screen problem still continues and also, with the 313 drivers version the game is from nothing freezes. O_o.
Asura thing.
Heya.
I’m wondering now with this “limited” guesting… Are we forced to pay to play with friends in the NA Servers?
This is not what DEVs Promissed, it just isn’t. Now I’m in EU servers and must say goodbye to play with my friends in the American Servers. =/
If I was in the NA servers, It would be same problem to EU.
When the transfer was free… Ok… Now, it’s the end, i’m limited to play in EU.
