Guild Wars 2

Have you ever wondered what happens to a server when the going gets tough. You find out those committed to reviving her; to stand tall with those around unwavering in their commitment to face the darkness and emerge not only stronger but closer than ever.

Darkhaven is Home to many PvE, PvX, and WvW-centric guilds committed to building one of the friendliest communities of gamers in Guild Wars 2. We have a great community, being involved in charity events such as Pink Day in LA and MS Toga. Our leaders organize server events to ensure that our community remains tight-knit and we encourage cross-server communication both in map chat and TS3. We have a free community Team Speak server with Guild and WvW channels as well as official server

Community and WvW Facebook pages. We also offer free guild pages, guild forums and general forums on the official website at http://www.darkhaven.us/

Our short-term goal is to shore up and build upon our current population. Our long term goal is to be competitive in the WvW landscape in whatever tier we are in with a focus on moving back into T4. While other servers may stay away from the more active WvW Servers, we wish to push ahead into them. And we need your help.

We are currently recruiting scouts/casuals/roamers/havoc/WvW-centric guilds/pugmanders to our server!

Who are we looking for:

Pugmanders We lack dedicated pugmanders in all of our time zones. If you enjoy pugmanding we’d love to hear from you!

NA :We have a handful of competitive guilds in NA-prime however have room for many more! Early and late NA guilds would be welcome to join us as well!

OCE : We have no guild that run during OCE-prime. It is tough for us to stay competitive during this coverage.

SEA :We have a couple of SEA-prime guilds. An addition of 1-2 roaming or raiding guilds will allow us to better compete.

EU: We have a couple of small-sized WvW guilds. However, we lack raiding guilds. It is tough for us to stay competitive during this coverage.

Check out how YOU can be part of the Darkhaven Server below:

• If you are new to the game and haven’t picked a server yet consider joining us!

• For those already part of the Darkhaven Server and searching for a WvW guild, check out and make contact with a friendly guild leader/contact below or head to http://www.darkhaven.us/guilds!

• Those of you that are not on the Darkhaven Server but considering transferring, hit up one of our server contacts at www.darkhaven.us/guilds! They are there to answer any questions you may have, talk to you directly about any concerns, and can offer candid and honest opinions on the WvW landscape in Darkhaven.

So far it seem to be a fairly interesting thread to hear the different views of the servers going from 13-15.

HoD and CD are locks but the more interesting spot if NA 15 since NSP and SF are extremely close in rating with NSP holding a slim margin to rank 15 which has been overlooked.

Reading the chart on a 24hr scale 12am should be 00 with 12pm at 12 you can also confirm it with the millenium site.

Is anybody else surprised by the DH/SF matchup this week? Some points

1) SF beat DH in their first match http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/45/115

2) HoD beat DH in their first match by about 65k http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/28/119

3) HoD beat SF in their first match by only about 50k (and subjectively it really was our toughest fight) http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/28/121

I was expecting SF to beat DH. But as of right now DH has a healthy lead. What’s going on? Is DH just hungrier?

Night Capping. Nuff Said.

Dude, we have beat them during prime time 3 out of 4 nights it has been going…

http://www.gw2score.com/server/Darkhaven

Scroll down to the bottom and check point averages. We beat them on reset night during prime time.

Still the largest point gain is outside of NA prime. You may beat them in prime but outside you roflstomp them in ppt pretty much. Which is where a majority of your points come from. Not to hate on DH or anything props to you for beating them in prime but overnight is a lot if your lead.

While out largest points come outside NA prime, its not considered overnight if our highest ppt are between 8am-2pm overnight is pretty even on average

Jeknar.6184:

Also, DH only had 1 sure-loss (as they only faced HoD only once), while SF had 2. Schedule wasn’t at SF side aswell…

While DH had only 1 sure loss to HoD, remember the last match before seasons began FC was beating DH by 60k points so we really could have gone 0-3 the first 3 matches but we managed to beat FC in week 2 in the final hours giving us 1-2 start. So you could have made the argument that when seasons started DH had 5 matches they could have lost easily.

While your waiting, check you spam folder as sometimes emails get sent there mistakenly.

Mmmm yummy DH borderlands

DR last on reset weekend!?

IoJ first!?

Whats going on!

Had a lot of fun holding Lake in DH borderlands, but once TRIBO and the Small Flame zerg from EB came, it wasnt much longer until we capped the whole borderlands!

The screenshot you posted says it all. You can’t take a single thing from DR so you hit the empty DH borderlands and cap empty keeps to get a lead.

So the 20~DH with 4 golems that we wiped on their hills makes their borderlands empty?

I’m confused where you think we had 20 on our boarderland, because I was with that group and we had at max 13 vs the 15+ of your GEN guild and all the superior arrows you had. Also most of the keeps you took with 35+ had 2-3 defenders.

Well I don’t invest much but I don’t see a value for these items with the introduction of the new resource node. You probably should have looked up how to get them as going by once per day per account you can get 4-8 passion flowers from the flowering nodes and a chance with the normal nodes supply can increase quickly.

I don’t think there is a high demand for the armor crafted using them and for infusions either.

Impromptu fight club behind DH BL windmill. Come get your 45 min of a Sororita passed out on his keyboard and the opportunity to stake Kryptik. Regretfully my skill lag is lasting longer than Togo on prom night. But I hear there are people that want some fights.

I’m a little confused is there another Kryptik on Gom or were we talking about DH’s Kryptik?

Reinstateurface.1496:

hey just wanted to introduce myself, if you notice your things getting capped at night with golems chances are i built em, thanks DH for your garri and bay, ohh and 46 golem rushing your SM fully upgraded in less than a minute was nice, yea so if you see a norn tier 3 on at oceanic times, fear me your keeps are mine

Nice job taking SM you caught us off guard there, but you may need a few more golems if you want lowlands it wasn’t quite enough this morning, thanks for the badges though.

thats a scam email trying to steal your information, ANET doesn’t send emails telling you they think you have been hacked to my knowledge; they send requests to allow or deny a login attempt from a different ISP address than on file.

There is a system called Dimishing Rewards that reduces the experience gained by the character be reduced to promote moving around the world as well as a system to combat bots. If your having trouble with gaining experiece you can travel to 4 other starting areas that will have new content for your current level.

Sorry to hear that you bought the wrong item from the vendor but they do not refund in game items because of player mistakes.

While I didn’t see an option for gifting GW2 on the GW2 website, from my understanding you can gift unused serial codes but it is strictly against their policy for you to give your account to someone else ( one person to one account); i.e. You play the game decide you dont want to play anymore then give it to someone else to play.

So if you buy the game forward the email or send them the serial code and they should be able to set up their account. If your still unsure you can always send a ticket to support and they should be able to answer the question.

While there are always false positives and you can appeal by opening a support ticket or wait the 2 weeks.

It sounds like it wasn’t for anything in game but a possible protection against fraud. If you contact support they can usually sort these things out fairly quickly.

I’ll agree with Ellieanna, sounds like there is some malware or knows your email. I would suggest creating a new email account just for GW2 as well as create a new email account for your general use then convert your more personal information to that accout to protect yourself from possible ID theft of bank information or something else.

Check your spam filter.

Most likely you will never be able to change your race as it will affect your personal story, the only method that i can think of is to delet the charr and reroll the character in the desired race. Another idea that may or may not work is to use a name change contract for the charr then create a second character with the name of the charr incase you wanted to keep the name but I’ll have to leave this to Gaile Grey to see if this would be a possible work around or if the current mechanics of the name change contracts prevent this. The question I would have is if you use a name change contract does your account still hold the name for a day incase you want to use the name again or change it back?

They are working on it its just hard to find them since they teleport before most players can report them. There is a Bots hotspot thread in Accounts that this would be better posted in. That way Anet can observe a few iron ore nodes to nail the botters.

I tried it on Darkhaven and it was working.

He made have had his pet helping him heal.

They are not making you change your password on a regular basis its a one time event for people who created their accounts before ANET created the blacklist on known passwords that hackers know.

@Saraphina Making people pay money to have authenticators is not a good business decision in my opinion as few would use the service and those that dont would contact support if thier account was compromised costing ANET money. In the long term its better to reduce the number of accounts compromised than deal with a large number of compromises.

A few months back I believed that because the new passwords the number of accounts compromises went from 1% to 0.1% or something similar meaning that it was very successful in making sure accounts stayed with their owners. The changes are noticeable in-game as there is a lot less bots and gold seller spam in the chats.

Did you get the 2 new waypoints that were added?

Did you log out or change maps as that will reset the achievement.

Is one of your bags collapsed?

Also read this thread since it sounded like you had the same password for GW2 and the Email. Also make sure you did a proper security sweep incase a keylogger was installed.

Try updating your browser I internet Explorer 9 and firefox and had no issue getting the page to load. As far as I know there is no direct line to contact them, just fill out a support ticket and it will be taken care of. And the digital support does not take weeks most likely it will be resolved in 3-4 days if you keep an eye on your email so you can answer any questions support asks you.

It might not be instant respawn but from my understanding there is about 1 min timer on respawns so if you kill one then proced to kill 6-7 more the one you killed first respawns giving the impression that there are instant respawns.

Try reading this thread about the respawn timers
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Specific-broken-spawn-timers

The gw2lfg.com is a nice site if you cant find a group, with that being said the lowest level dungeon is lvl 30 Ascalonian Catacombs story mode and lvl 35 for the exploation mode. There is still 5 days left of the month so if you can quick rush to the minimum lvl of 30 you have a shot of completing the monthly.

I don’t believe it is a bug, I think you get a mix of high and low level weapons as the notes stated it was possible to recieve your own level of weapons not 100% of the time. It was most likely put in place to force people to higher level zones as opposed to staying in the level 1-15 zoenes to farm.

Looks like just RNG and not a bug

usually i only have that issue in WvW but all you have to do is type an invite to the person to get them into the party.

I’m guessing that your talking about the statue of grenth skill point. You can do it with correct timing, a few times you will get interupted but its not impossible and it doesn’t take more then 5 trys to get it. Also you can wait for the temple to be deactivated before you get the skill point.

Detharos.3157:

The history of the tier 8 match-up problems, and possibility of a balanced match-up in the near future:

It seems there’s people constantly coming in here telling us there will never be balance, that there will never be a third server with numbers and coverage similar to ET and FC in here again. I ask you all, do you really think that’s true?

Look at our past opponents, and the situations of their battles. Devona’s Rest, former tier 8 server, where is it now? Tier 5. Kaineng, former tier 8 server, where is now? Tier 2. And before people make the transfer case for Kaineng, in the week BEFORE War Machine jumped ship to Kaineng and 1000+ transfers followed, in the week for the first time in months Kaineng as it was in the weeks before got to focus on FC without DR constantly assaulting it, what happened? That’s right, we got dominated. And its numbers at that time were near identical to the tier-5 level Devona’s Rest.

So basically, you had this situation. You had, be it via transfers or whatever, an at the time now long past in tier 8, a high Tier 5- level Devona’s Rest(Just short of pushing into tier 4 if you watched their ascension), a mid Tier 5-level Kaineng, and IMO a tier 7-level Ferguson’s Crossing all thrown into the mix at the time.

What happened next was the natural, DR and Kaineng were very well matched and with FC no being present/strong enough to stop it from becoming a direct war between two servers stress built up on these two in particular, Devona’s Rest and Kaineng. They were CONSTANTLY fighting each other, ALL THE TIME. If either of them took the time to have some change and worry about Ferguson’s Crossing, the other would be marching in their lands PvDooring everything. So between these two big players, the one who’s morale broke first lost, so DR started to extend its lead over Kaineng and FC once Kaineng finally got sick of dealing with DR every week after weeks of very close scores.

Eventually Devona’s Rest broke out of tier 8 (Very slowly due to the ratings sink hole that Glicko2 creates here), and EASILY ascended to tier 5 (it dominated tier 5 also) and made a shot at tier 4. We then got to analyze its strength, that all along Devona’s Rest was one of those servers that were just a few guild transfers short of being capable of holding their own in tier 4, so they lost in there yet had the numbers to dominate tier 5. Those guilds that had no interest in that jumped ship somewhere else, and they’ve been tier 5-level ever since.

Kaineng, with the same numbers it had fielded against Devona’s Rest in direct combat for weeks proved it was on a tier 5-like level also and put us down almost as heavily as Devona’s Rest did in its first week. Kaineng had always had a history of being a close match for Devona’s Rest. So you see, Kaineng at this point before transfer hell was already bound to eventually make it to the exact same tier Devona’s Rest was in and would of dominated us for weeks. Then in the second week, they got the addition of War Machine, a highly organized tier 3+ guild, and along with it a whole legion of high tier players, and by the third week had amassed over 1000-1500+ new bodies for regular WvW attendance spread throughout its various timezone coverages. At this point it was now tier 3+ level, and dominated us even more drastically for those next weeks til it got out, and EASILY ascended upwards, probably picking up some more transfers on the way and comfortably landed in tier 2 eventually.

I nomrally dont comment on other matches threads but there is a little misinformation that no one seems to correct in this discussion. Devona’s Rest never made it above tier 5 and haven’t won a match since tier 6 so to say that they dominated tier 5 is a little incorrect. At their best they were strong T6 weak T5 as their average weekly loss was above 150k points in T5. Kaineng was a little different as they had a very stong overnite presence that all servers between T8 and T4 lack so it is very easy to win matches when you get +695 during that time.

With that being said looking forward facing SF again at some point in time.

Use the discovery for finding recipies that will advance the title. Us the GW2 wiki to find the components that you need to craft.

You can guest to other servers for free you just won’t be able to join WvW on another server.

Sounds like you are using an invisible bag or safe box, items in those do not show up when trying to sell on the auction house.

you get assigned loot based on a minumun percentage of damage done to the mobs, that percent of damage is shared by the party as long as you attack that target so people in parties get more loot in large scale dynamic events than someone by themselves.

The gw2guilds.org site is not always up to date so if you see a guild that you want to join or you chose the server because of them, you can always ask the community if they are still on that server.

Sounds like your email is also compromised and you have some malware on your computer. They offer a 1 time account roll back if you have been hacked. Just create a customer support ticket and include information that proves that the account belongs to you and you will get it back.

Reading through your post it sounds like you used a password from a different MMO as your guildwars 2 password, read the piece on account security posted on the forums as to why thats not a good idea then change it to a unique password that is only for this game.

Sorry to hear that but from my understanding they dont give refunds for user mistakes. It would be a custormer support nightmare for them to do this or they would have to allow you to sell dungon weapons back to the vendor for dungeon tokens.

They disabled the ranger box because there was a bug that it returned non-ranger gear, currently there is no eta on a fix hitting the live servers so your going to have to wait for the moment on opening them.

its not broken, I would suggest making a guild, talk with other guilds, generate intrest in WvW. You will be surprised what 20 more people on a map does.

I checked and there is no POI at that location so you must be missing another point in the zone.

It is perfectly fine, they have mentioned the idea of making them tradeable but it isn’t possible atm due to issues with codeing and they dont have someone working on it currently.

While jp’s are thre most effective way to get them, defending towers, keeps, and taking supply camps reward a lot of badges. I can still get 30-40 badges per day with casual play.

Its not a bug, the Laurels for the monthly start in February.

Try swapping to another character to see if that helps.

Also if you fail the Dynamic Event it does not count.
