Guild Wars 2

Well either way it seems the app no longer exists so this question is null & void.

I found an app on the android market that allows you to chat With people in GW2 without being logged in. I know there was an app that did this for guild Wars but it wasn’t sanctioned by arena net and using it could get your account banned. So is this app safe to use or does it fall under the same rules as the GW1 app?

Thanks,
Angel

No I’m not happy with this aspect. We could seriously benefit from in Game GM’s, I would even pay a few dollars a month for the benefit.

Character Birthday Presents were awesome in Guild Wars, I wonder will be seeing those in GW2 as well. It’s so neat to get a gift wrapped box in your inventory with the chance of grabbing a unique Mini pet or tonic from the gift.

We have 57 Members and we’re regularly doing dungeons. We’ve been having magic find bonus weekends and generally just having fun.

Why not restrict sending mail to only your friends to stop gold selling spam?

This is a good idea but doesn’t truly solve the whole issue as they would simply add you to their friends list before sending you mail, to be truly functional it would need the following options so you can turn them on or off:

- receive mail from contacts in social list. [yes] or [no]
- receive mail from guild. [yes] or [no]
- receive public mail. [yes] or [no]
- receive system mail. [yes] or [no]

They can add you to their friends list if they like, but unless you’ve added them back they still wouldn’t be able to send you mail. They would only be following you and would be listed under the followers tab.

Seeing as how we get quest rewards via system mail I don’t think that there should be an option to turn that off.

They are aware of this and you can safely take the money they send and then report & delete the email.

Reference This Dev Post

Exactly what the title says, You give us a nice exclamation point on the mail icon when when we have new mail, I would also like to see one on the Black Lion Trading Company Icon when I have new money or Items to pick up.

Thanks,
Angel

Hello,
I have been thinking in some features/ideas which would be very cool to have.

1 – When doing sPvP we need a join group or a play now (group) it’s really bad that when doing sPvP with my wife we end up vs each other instead of team playing;

2 – On Character Select menu each character should display the gear setup you were using when you logoff, I say this because I would like to see my lvl2 guardian, with which I only do sPvP, with her cool set and not the lvl2 standard stuff you get on start, also the main weapon should be displayed;

3 – Ranger Pet naming needs to be fixed…..

4 – It’s great that almost every feature is account wide, I LOVE IT, but is there any reason why dyes are not included?

Thanks.

Dyes aren’t included because you can buy them in the gem store

I think Anet should give all the bots some sort of environmental weapons when they detect them or just create a non public server and start putting them all there. Then cut of that server from the public trading Post.

P. S. Auto-correct sucks

My name is MrsAngelD and I approve this thread.

A Linux client would be awesome

Arena Net has communicated very well and still is. They have posted patch notes, told us what they are doing about bots. Let us know when hacked accounts were their priority. A recent news article detailed what their plans for security were.

You have to actually take the time to read the forums and look at the dev tracker and you’ll see they are very forthcoming about a lot of their intentions and where their priorities are.

We will be making pre-patch tokens account bound in the next patch. That will probably be is less than a week. Hold onto your old tokens they will automatically update. This will also fix old Obsidian Shards.

What about old recipes? I have some recipes sitting in the bank that I bought with karma which I still can’t use on my other character.

I have account bound tokens & recipes in the bank, that I can’t remove from the bank on any character but the ones who earned them.

That’s crazy, they really need to do something about this.

My guildies and I have a had a blast doing the dungeons, and I’m looking forward to doing more

Can we please not turn this thread into a discussion, I asked in my OP that this thread remain a suggestion thread, and not a discussion thread on the items being suggested, the point is to make arena net see our suggestions, not our disagreements/agreements about them.

Another addition I thought of, the ability to not be “followed” by people. It’s a very creepy thing, or at least some clarification as too if blocking them will prevent them from seeing you online.

I agree, all these bugs are getting really frustrating.

Both my hubby & I need to beat the hylek in metrica province as the last thing for that zone. We knew a patch was coming soon & that would reset the guy. So after the patch we went back to try the skill challenge and low & behold he’s dead again in a different location (so I know he was working after the patch at some point).

I love this game and I have much respect for Arena Net, having been a Guild Wars player myself. But it seems like these guys need more help or something. I saw a thread asking why there was no public test server, that seems like a good idea and something Arena Net should probably look into. Players who go into public test servers know they are testing and can help get some of this stuff ironed out before it hits live.

Guild: Travelers Of Tyria[TOT]
Server: Henge of Denravi U.S.

I’m the guild leader and I can’t access my guild bank, the guild promoter, the armor smith or the weapon smith in certain cities. Also I can’t purchase upgrades sometimes and can’t view the ones in progress.

Snix Spoonman.3871:

I put a lot of time, effort and some major grinding in over the 5 yrs to get all my titles etc in GW1 and the HoM rewards to carry over to GW2. I admit half the stuff like the pets etc i probably won’t use. But these are rewards I earned by giving my time and effort, I can’t even see my GWAMM or Champion of the Gods title on display for myself, i just have to trust that other players are able to see it, so instead being able to wear a pair of Fiery God Armbraces or parade my Black Widow Spider I earned in HoM satisfies my vanity.

I can live with all the bugs currently in the game as i know Anet will eventually get these sorted, but one thing that will make me walk from this game, is if all my years of time and effort is cheapened by having items a lot of us earned in GW1 just put up for general sale to anyone who can afford them.

So a big no from me, if you want these items then GW1 servers are still up, put some time and effort in getting them like the rest of us did.

I absolutely agree with you 100%

Check this post out, seems there will be holiday events, but what exactly they will include, remains to be seen.

I’m still having a blast and I do have a level 80

As somebody who worked very hard for the items I got for the HOM absolutely not. If you want them you can still go to GW and earn them.

Hey, this forum design has been bothering me so much, I’m wondering if anyone feels the same way. As an artist, focusing on graphic design, I can’t help but wonder who designed this forum and why they choose to sacrifice standard features and functionality for this minimalistic approach. Why did they make it such a challenge to post and image in the body of your topic? It’s nearly impossible to have a cool signature because the signature form only allows 100 characters. I’ve spent some time trying to fit an image or signature into the forms to no avail. Maybe there’s a way, but I havn’t found it.

Forum designers, I know how you have your reasons for trying something different and being minimalistic, but you didn’t have to remove the most basic and essential features that most forums offer. The overall website design is great, but the forums should stick to the industry standard design, because it works. The forums were not ready when the game was released, and I think it was because they were still working on the design and layout. The outcome is overdesigned and lacking functionality. I have a feeling I’m not the only one who misses the standard forum layout that we all know and love.

Some of the “standard features” that you may have come to regard as “essential” for forums are intrusive and easily abused by players. We prefer to have our moderation team working on moderating discussion content. We would rather have our resources focused on keeping an eye on whether people are posting in a respectful tone, whether people are being constructive with their discussions/comments, etc. rather than on spending their time moderating forum signatures, images, or disruptive uses of text.

We have disabled image-based signatures on purpose. Only text is permitted for forum signatures.

We have removed most advanced font formatting features such as changing text colors or sizes on purpose, because those features are often abused in forums.

As for images, they can be attached to your post. I understand that this is not ideal for certain purposes/edge cases, however attaching images to a forum post will work for the vast majority of forum users.

What about forum signatures, there is a way to allow people to have images in signatures and still control them. There are quite a few GW2 Signature generators out there, yet I can’t display one on the official forums? As Someone who has ran quite a few community forums I know there are ways you can easily limit signatures without too much moderation overhead. At the very least give us a way to pick a character with some basic information about the character in our signature.

Just because the game still exists doesnt mean that it is succesful. Most every mmo thats ever been made still has a player base of some type.
And also ask yourself this… Why hasnt there been any upgrades or expansions in the last 7 years? probably because it wasnt profitable enough to validate one i would assume.

Sounds like you never actually played Guild Wars. Eye of the north was the only expansion Guild Wars ever got and it was released August 31st, 2007. Both Nightfall(released October 27, 2006) & Factions(released April 28, 2006) are stand alone campaigns that can be played without owning any of the others.

The reason they stopped doing expansions or campaigns for GW wasn’t because there was no interest in playing the game. Arena Net was working on the campaign Guild Wars Utopia when they realized that there was no way they were going to be able to do all the things they wanted with the initial direction they had chosen for the game. So they wrapped up utopia and used some of it’s content to make eye of the north, which is the one and only expansion for guild wars. Then they told us they had decided instead to make GW2.

Since that announcement and the release of eye of the north, Guild Wars has seen lot’s of free content added to it. Even as recent as the last year in the form of Guild Wars Beyond Guild Wars is/was a major success for Arena Net and Tons of people still play the game. They still update the game regularly the last update being September 20, 2012 They are also still adding things like costumes to the in game store. I’m also pretty sure we’ve not seen the last of the content added to guild wars.

So you would be very wrong to think Guild Wars has not been profitable and still isn’t bringing in profits for Arena Net.

I am actually content with the way this game is set up, I just dont want to run the same dungeon 100 times to get the armor I want.
There is a story mode, and 3 explorable options. If i run all three.. I feel like I should have my armor set. Remove the grind and I am good, followed by regular expansions.

Well there are going to up the drop rate of dungeon tokens and make them account bound soon, so you’ll get your wish on that respect

Try out a few different ones you can always delete and try again if you find one you don’t like.

I want my endgame to be what Anet is going to give me, more stuff to explore. I have never been a fan of

“Oh let me run this instance over and over again so I can get gear to run this other instance over & over again”

I want to explore, craft a bit, hang out with friends and make my characters look good with things I find or work for around Tyria.

imho “Endgame” is a horrible concept which should have never been put into MMORPGS the whole point of these types of games is that there is no end because you’re always seeking the next adventure, making the next great discovery and exploring the world.

So my endgame will be exactly what Anet will do, which is adding more content for me to experience while hanging out with friends.

My Guild is pretty nice, we have roots in Guild Wars, and have grown to 54 people since launch, we tend to hang out on voice & text chat and we do things together like dungeons and events. We do explorable mode dungeons sometimes, other times we hit up events and do some farming, from time to time we do WvW but we always have fun and hang out.

The goal for my guild when I decided I would have one again in GW2 was to build a guild which is social and with people I could forge friendships with not just people who I see occasionally online in the guild roster. Right now the guild is a mix of Friends from Guild Wars, a few other games and People we’ve met since head start launch.

We do have a few guildies who are on other servers but that’s because they are friends who tend to be a bit more PVP focused so they joined a PVP guild with the intention on doing PVE on our server and representing us once guesting becomes available.

If anybody is intersted and looking for a Mature 18+ guild that doesn’t ask you to make your game a 2nd job, you can check us out at http://www.TravelersOfTyria.com or you can contact myself (MrsAngelD.6971) or the other Guild Leader in Game (Razor Bliss.1675)

I think what everybody tends to forget is that this game isn’t about playing alone. The game encourages group play, and any build is more powerful when you’re with another person or more people. Also every play style is viable just not all the time. A good portion of any classes skills are situation, the key is knowing what situation to use them in.

Don’t hold your breath for multi-classing it was in earlier versions of the game, but they dropped it for various reasons.

I would like to see 2 handed axes as well as scythes in the game.

Yeah can’t loging either, me or my guildies

I’m glad you found a way to enjoy the game. I have logged just a little bit over 400 hours ( just f.y.i. I’m disabled and don’t have much else to do) since headstart launch. I’m no where near done with all this game has to offer. The jumping puzzles, explorable achievements, mapping zones, crafting. My guild of just over 50 members has become pretty tight and we’re starting to get the hang of dungeons together. We’re also just hanging out and have lot’s of fun.

Tonic’s were an awesome feature of GW1, I can’t tell you how many times I would save up a bunch of tonics for guildies & alliance members then we would have parties with them. Tonic’s made holiday celebrations fun. You could stand around town and change into different forms and have fun with it.

In GW2 I find myself just deleting them. The amount of space they take up in the bank is insane when only I would be the person using them. I really don’t mind buying black lion keys and I would still continue to do so even if tonic’s weren’t account bound. But I would really would like the ability to give them to friends and have fun with them.

Slemsvamp.8596:

Or atleast write in the tooltip if it will bind on buy or not. I have bought several recipes that doesn’t say that they will bind but does, causing me to waste karma at nothing.

Yeah that has happened to me as well, it’s frustrating.

Agreed, we really need alliances or at the very least the ability to create custom chat channels.

Missions would be cool but I don’t see how they would fit them into guild Wars 2

It’s quite annoying to be out on one of my characters and complete a heart then find a recipe that would be really useful to a different character only I’m not be able to give it to them because it’s soulbound.. Please arena net change this.

Some of these are good suggestions but I disagree with weapon swapping on engineer and elementalist my ele does just fine swapping elements.

RAIN.7934:

This is madness! I’m wondering nw how will they compensate the roll back? :/

It’s simple really, they won’t compensate for it.

Due to the nature of the outage, we will be unable to restore any progression or items. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience .” ^MK

Deluxxe.9140:

are you f’ing kidding me??? i just lost an entire CM story run. loot, exp, money, everything gone. wow!

I know how you feel, We lost half our CM explorable run, the 2nd half. So we’re down 15 tokens and no achievement.

Yeah I lost my CM explorable achieve that we had just completed and and I lost 15 out of 30 tokens

Oh this sucks, we finished a CM explorable before getting kicked, but I logged back in to find I’m missing 15 out of my 30 seals of beetletun.

TxJBxT.9370

Just had this happen to me when leaving a AC Exp group. Don’t think I’v ever played a game with more issues and problems than this game has given me

The game is 3 weeks into launch, how many games have you played this early on?

Yeah me and my guildies just finished CM explorable and got disconnected and we can’t reconnect

Seriously the same mobs over and over again? There are tons of varied mobs in GW2. Go play LOTRO then you’ll see repetitive mobs. In that game you get a wide choice of trolls, goblins, orcs, dwarves and wargs to kill and that’s it.

You forgot boars. Boars everywhere!! I can´t wait to kill the Giant Board next to Sauron

To funny….lol
