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.

Separate permissions for Funds & Items in The Guild Bank

in Suggestions

Posted by: MrsAngelD.6971

MrsAngelD.6971

Yesterday I had an incident where a member withdrew funds and left the guild. The only thing I can do is make it so only officers & leaders can get items out of the bank. This is annoying as neither I nor my other guild leader nor my officers can play 24/7 to be there if somebody needs something out of the bank.

We really need to have a separate permission setting for guild funds & guild items. I want to allow my guild members to deposit and withdraw items as needed from the guild bank. But I can’t do that without risking them withdrawing from the funds as well which are supposed to be a way for members to donate to the purchase of influence for the guild. Please give us separate permissions for guild funds.

I plan on playing GW2 for a long time to come. I’m disabled so I don’t work, I spend probably 12 hours a day logged into GW2 (Though admittedly I’m not always playing a lot of times I’m chit chatting with guildies & friends). Hitting 80 doesn’t seem like a big deal to accept that I’ll have access to more content to try. But I don’t want it to take forever to have something cool in game. We really need a better way to earn money for those wonderful looking high end pieces you guys put out there. Nerfing everything into the ground in the hopes that you’ll stop botters isn’t really the answer because in the process you’re only ticking off your legitimate customers.

Why I feel guild representation is not a good idea

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: MrsAngelD.6971

MrsAngelD.6971

I’ve always felt that guild systems in MMOs were far too restrictive, because it forces you to become part of one single community. IRL people are part of a variety of social circles relating to work, family, close friends, friends you share hobbies with, neighbours etc.

Traditional guild set ups in most MMOs can’t emulate that properly. GW2’s system isn’t perfect but it’s better than a lot of others because it recognises that you can belong to more than one group.

It’s up to guilds to decide what kind of players they want to have joining, and whether they try to enforce representation or not, and it’s up to players to decide what kind of guild they want to join. The tools are there for you.

Edit: I haven’t looked very closely at the guild ranking system, but is it possible to restrict access to bonuses based on membership?

No it’s not possible to restrict based on rank

I didn’t want to post the link that I found, but I’m hoping posting here will get a dev to PM me so I can send them a link a found which claims to be a download of the teleport hack tool.

How I found it is, I was reading about the teleporters in the general discussion forum and I decided to look on youtube for a video to better understand what they were talking about. Anyway that’s all the information I’m going to post. So if A Dev or Moderator wants this link please PM me and I will gladly give it too you in the hopes that we can make Tyria a better place to play for us all.

Why I feel guild representation is not a good idea

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: MrsAngelD.6971

MrsAngelD.6971

I have a guild and I disagree with you. We have 54 members in our guild and some of them are in multiple guilds. Some of them were people we knew from other games. They are way more into PVP then I and my Other Guild Leader are, so they joined a PVP heavy Guild on another Server. When guesting is implemented they will come do PVE on our server and represent us while doing so.

Some people have friends who have guilds of their own whether they are friends in real life or friends from other games, those friends may not be on all the time. Being in both guilds allows them to join their friends when they are around and then have other people to run/play with when they are not. Multi-guilding gives them this.

My guild began in GW2 with 4 people, that means we’ve added 50 since launch and we’re picky, we have them fill out an application and we don’t even make them full members of the guild right away.

Being locked to one guild doesn’t mean automatic loyalty. I wonder if maybe you just aren’t being picky enough about the people you invite to your guild since you obviously have some guidelines you want people to follow when they join.

I would advise letting people know your guidelines when recruiting and making sure you explain your “rules” clearly when people join. Sometimes people won’t join, but the ones that will are likely the ones you’ll want in your guild anyway.

As a disabled person who can’t do much else I have already logged over 300 hours in game. My highest toon is level 60. Given the chance I would gladly be away from my computer doing something else unfortunately in my situation this won’t happen.

Frustrations over lack of endgame

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: MrsAngelD.6971

MrsAngelD.6971

How are you people reading up on Guild Wars 2 before buying it and suddenly being shocked when you find out that the game is exactly like ANet said it was be? If you were keeping on on the game’s development, if you were reading what ANet was saying for the past 3 years, you should have known that what you’re looking for is completely absent from GW2. “The Endgame Reimaged” was just an amalgam of information that ArenaNet has been giving us about the game’s content since it was announced.

So why didn’t you know this stuff? Why did you buy this game thinking that the “endgame” was going to be like every other MMO out there? Why didn’t know know that the combat gets rid of the trinity? How do you not know that traits and a chosen build aren’t the only determining factor on how good a player is, that they avoided those “cookie-cutter” layouts you look for in party members in WoW on purpose because a person’s build doesn’t determine how good they are at the game? And for that matter, how did you not know that this game is more skill-based than gear-based or spec-based?

I’m pretty sure you lied about “scouring the web for a glimpse of this game’s content for the last 2 years”, because if you did, you wouldn’t be surpirsed upon learning that this game is exactly what ANet said it would be.

This is pretty much what I was gonna say

MrsAngelD.6971

I agree with A.Net on this one. I love not seeing the constant spamming of WTS WTB. If you make a deal with somebody you can either trust the mail system, or post it in the TP and they can buy from you in there. TP will be more stable and has been improving and the 15% tax, well that is the cost of business imo.

Yay for A.Net for this system, they have a fan in me for not giving in on this subject. You can gift, trade with a trusted person, or trade through the TP system. If you trust them, use mail, if you don’t then use TP. The 15% tax on that is the cost of ensuring they don’t run off with your stuff. All is good in the world of A.Net and you get much less in the way of spamming and scamming.

So most of the supporters essentially resent a visual inconvenience they can simply turn off…

That’s what it sounds like to me

Despite the disclaimer, yes, Teamspeak and Ventrillo ARE allowed although there have been some compatibility issues with overlays and the Guild Wars 2 game client.

Mumble as well I hope, which seems to also have overlay issues. Apparently the only current work around is doing something rather insecure, which I won’t post here. But the overlay only appears sometimes & a good portion of the time you have to re-start the client several times before it does appear.

Player to Player trading

MrsAngelD.6971

Using the trading post is a safer method of trading and simultaneously makes the game more robust. We believe that between mail and the trading post the game is much safer and still contains all the functionality needed.

Using the trading post is safe yes, but The checks you guys had in place in Guild Wars were safe as well. I will admit I fell prey to a scam once during my 6 years of playing guild wars. You know what happened? I learned to be more attentive to what I was trading and it didn’t happen again in any mmo I played after that.

For example one player advertising an item on shout, and made a deal with another player through chat. He sent the item through mail, but the second player did not pay back.

Is it considered officially as a scam?
Is it an official offence that might have consequences?

Yes, you can report that player as Scamming.

Really? I have to ask what exactly is the difference between reporting someone as scamming this way and reporting them as scamming with the same system that was in place in Guild Wars? Either way somebody gets reported as scamming and somebody else has to deal with.

Regular trade is a good part of pretty much every other MMO out there. Some people enjoy it so much they actually form entire guilds around the concept. As it stands right now there is no way to safely trade with one other particular person in the game unless you know that person.

Also there is just NO WAY AT ALL to barter & trade items directly with another person. Not even Cash on Delivery would fix this problem as somebody would still have to pay something.

You have plenty of options for putting checks in place to allow for player to player trading.

  • You could charge a transaction fee for the trade. that would be your money sink
  • You can make sure that the details of the transaction (including trading partners name) are put out in text as part of the game message so users can get screenshots if scams take place.
  • Some people have bad eyes so you could print out the amount of cash or the items being offered in the game message text as the trade is taking place.
  • Asking are you sure before completing the transaction
  • Notifying that the items have changed in the trade window before completing the transaction helps avoid scams.

The trading post is great for keeping me from being in town spamming WTS or WTB but you’re still missing a HUGE part of the fun of trading, buying & selling in game.

You can already toggle map elements I think:

2. Bottom left of the screen there’s a check list of different item types.

I’m not sure but I think it persists to the mini-map too.

Personally I’d love the ability to toggle individual UI elements on/off.

You would be correct, it does persist to the mini map

Guilds

  • Guild Bank funds(gold) should have separate permissions from than the guild bank items.
  • The Guild Message of the day should be shown to you when you log on
  • If the Guild Message of the Day is updated it should be shown to all members
  • If a member logs in visible it should let you know they have come on line, also it should tell the guild when you log off.
  • When you join a guild you should be notified that you need to click represent to interact with the guild and earn influence for the guild.
  • Show guild members on map (different color / icon if they are not in your party) or allow larger party’s for PvE world events. (not dungeons / wvw)
  • Option to appear offline to guilds you are not representing. (i.e. I’m on an alt that is in another guild, but don’t want to be visible to guild of my main.)
  • Alliance Chat and/or Custom Chat channels
  • Officer Chat
  • Allow Guild Leaders to send announcement type mails to guild members

Class:

  • General Class requests
    * Better rewards for support (ie, rezzing, setting up combo fields, killing smaller monsters)
    * Bind-able weapon swapping button for all professions (greyed out or unavailable while in combat for the respective professions who do not have weapon swapping.)
    * One alternate build slot to allow a PvE and a WvW build.
  • Necromancer:

    * Pet Control: Ability to call off pets
  • Ranger:
    * Pet Names do not stay.
    * Pet AI needs improvement, they run ahead and aggro mobs.
    * Full Control over your pet Skills *controversial

Graphics:

  • A way to see through the nuclear overkill of spell effects for melee (we can’t see when to dodge or our characters in big groups). Let alone see the tiny red circle lines. Bloom effect is rather overkill in some places, i do like the style used but an option to tone it down would be really appreciated without effecting other nice shaders as it just makes the game ‘foggy’.

Misc:

  • Physics – Running off an edge should have momentum not make you stick straight to the floor below you Similarly movement while in the air is very floaty and jerky if you try to move/stop moving

E.G. i want to be questing along with specific flags saying what I’m interested in doing. Currently seems to only work with friends?!?

WvW:

  • Show what battleground I am queued for when queued for only one.
  • Show Queue time. both how long I have been queued and estimate.
  • Ability to see WvW score when in overflow.
  • overflow wvw. Since on many servers at night wvw is full for everyone, why not have an overflow instance. That instance would only happen if all 3 sides are full, buildings would not be upgradable and state of the map would not count toward server points.
  • Join from overflow < Most common complaint around Also seems quicker to join WvW from portal rather than queuing via menu
  • The ability to donate for upgrades instead of having one person purchase the entire thing. A bar can appear showing how much has been donated before completion of the upgrade. Essentially allows pooling of resources by the entire team, instead of one person investing more heavily than everyone else.
  • Make the ammunition for siege weapons 1 supply, i.e if you fire the trebuchet then it costs 1 supply and will keep costing supply until you run out or someone resupplies you, this way people can’t spam theses powerful weapons. *Controversial

New Mechanics which aren’t in the game in any form:

  • An item that allows you to capture a skin into it. For example you have a steamblade, you use that item on it and you get a “steamblade skin” which you can then trade/use/gift/etc . This is slightly different than transmute stone as you do not need the destination item.
  • fishing in the game
  • Plastic surgery (for gems) allow revamp of characters face / hair choices.
  • Personal log of recently encountered skills, items, enemies, areas etc. Similar to the help window in Guild Wars. This log should be clickable & allow you to view the item in the wiki, the wiki should open in game instead of alt-tabbing you out of the game.
  • Custom Chat Channels (ie allow users to create custom chat channels with an optional password for access).
  • Ability to dye hair & Also lipstick
  • Armor “decay” in terms of looks only – scratches, blood splatter etc
  • A Minipet management button where you select the minipet from your collection that you wish to have active, instead of having to carry your minipet with you in your inventory.
  • Guild Recruiting bulletin board – Allow guilds to post an advertisement on the board while allowing users to browse the guilds & apply to join them. For an extra fee allow guilds to higher a town crier who will advertise their guild to passersby.

We were apart of the We Still Need Therapy[Now] Alliance in Guild Wars and are continuing both the alliance as well as our focus into Guild Wars 2

We are focused on being social, making friends, exploring tyria, and creating a fun community. We welcome all mature players if you’re interested in joining us feel free to fill out our application on the recruitment page of our website or contact us in game.

If you’re looking for a guild that doesn’t require a high level of commitment and will allow you to make friends than look no further!

We have a guild mumble server & our website is compatible with the enjin-in-game client.

Well I think the logical explanation is that you can buy the keys from the gem store.

Where do I go for suggestions or general game feedback?

apparently no where yet, several suggestion threads including my own have been closed with the statement that they are adding a suggestion section in the future.

I would like to know why this thread was pinned & mine was closed and I was told to hold off & wait for a suggestions sub forum!

Because it’s probably more efficient to have one thread that everyone can see while they work on their new suggestion feature. I don’t think they meant to punish you specifically :P

My Post was meant to be just the same as this one and was quite a bit longer the OP’s thread.

Guilds

  • Guild Bank funds(gold) should have separate permissions from than the guild bank items.
  • The Guild Message of the day should be shown to you when you log on
  • If the Guild Message of the Day is updated it should be shown to all members
  • If a member logs in visible it should let you know they have come on line, also it should tell the guild when you log off.
  • When you join a guild you should be notified that you need to click represent to interact with the guild and earn influence for the guild.
  • Show guild members on map (different color / icon if they are not in your party) or allow larger party’s for PvE world events. (not dungeons / wvw)
  • Option to appear offline to guilds you are not representing. (i.e. I’m on an alt that is in another guild, but don’t want to be visible to guild of my main.)

Class:

  • General Class requests
    * Better rewards for support (ie, rezzing, setting up combo fields, killing smaller monsters)
    * Bind-able weapon swapping button for all professions (greyed out or unavailable while in combat for the respective professions who do not have weapon swapping.)
    * One alternate build slot to allow a PvE and a WvW build.
  • Necromancer:
    * Display pet life
    * Pet Control: Ability to call off pets
  • Ranger:
    * Pet Names do not stay.
    * Pet AI needs improvement, they run ahead and aggro mobs.
    * Full Control over your pet Skills *controversial

Graphics:

  • A way to see through the nuclear overkill of spell effects for melee (we can’t see when to dodge or our characters in big groups). Let alone see the tiny red circle lines. Bloom effect is rather overkill in some places, i do like the style used but an option to tone it down would be really appreciated without effecting other nice shaders as it just makes the game ‘foggy’.

Misc:

  • Physics – Running off an edge should have momentum not make you stick straight to the floor below you Similarly movement while in the air is very floaty and jerky if you try to move/stop moving

WvW:

  • Queue for all 4 WvW areas.
  • Show what battleground I am queued for when queued for only one.
  • Show Queue time. both how long I have been queued and estimate.
  • Ability to see WvW score when in overflow.
  • overflow wvw. Since on many servers at night wvw is full for everyone, why not have an overflow instance. That instance would only happen if all 3 sides are full, buildings would not be upgradable and state of the map would not count toward server points.
  • Join from overflow < Most common complaint around Also seems quicker to join WvW from portal rather than queuing via menu
  • The ability to donate for upgrades instead of having one person purchase the entire thing. A bar can appear showing how much has been donated before completion of the upgrade. Essentially allows pooling of resources by the entire team, instead of one person investing more heavily than everyone else.
  • Make the ammunition for siege weapons 1 supply, i.e if you fire the trebuchet then it costs 1 supply and will keep costing supply until you run out or someone resupplies you, this way people can’t spam theses powerful weapons. *Controversial

PvP:

  • Capture the Flag map
  • Queuing as a group for both PvP and WvW
  • Dueling
  • 2v2, 3v3 Arenas
  • Smaller Scale mass combat. 15v15, 25v25 mini campaigns to support WvW
  • Remove downed state from SPvP. *Controversial

Mail/Trading/Community:

  • Auto complete mail to name from guild / friend list added
  • Ability to report gold seller from mail without having to open a bug and screenshot added
  • Remember last person you sent mail to.
  • COD (Cash on Delivery)
  • Notification ! When item sells at trading post.
  • Allow buying and selling of quantities larger than 250
  • Looking for group – Currently very weak implementation, add system so i can say I’m wanting to be in a group for x event, y dungeon, z pvp, make it easy to see who is available via a pool of players. E.G. i want to be questing along with specific flags saying what I’m interested in doing. Currently seems to only work with friends?!?
  • Separate the friend notifications (ie JaneDoe.3232 has come online) from the game messages in chat options.
  • Include a way to go straight back to your transactions if you click on one that you are buying/selling and it searches for them.
  • Increased resolution for text in the trading post
  • Right clicking names in chat won’t show a menu sometimes
  • Preview items from Trading Post.
  • Ability to send more stacks in the mail
  • Player to player trading in person. *Controversial

Crafting:

  • Craft directly from bank inventory added (Discovery from the bank is coming source )
  • Remember collection tab’s settings. i.e. keep food tab collapsed.
  • Karma vendors for various trophys (small fangs etc) or ways to upgrade / downgrade a surplus of one line to another. i.e. salvage Fangs to Small Fangs to Tiny Fangs.
  • Allow salvage on all items. Especially Heart vendor items that are bought with karma.
  • Mystic Forge: All Items Bind on Equip, or at worst Bind to Account. No need to make equipment I cant even use or trade.
  • Fix bug that makes “craft all” only work with 3 digit numbers. (ie hitting craft all when you have 1200 ore, only does 200 and not 1200)
  • Provide additional inventory slots in the bank for crafted ingredients/components

Camera:

  • Downed State: Zoomed in too close for quick use of Thief / Mesmer escapes Fixed
  • Mouse Zoom / FOV change. Let us zoom out more and increase the FOV
  • Allow First Person View

UI:

  • In some cases the friends list doesn’t remember nicknames & resets.
  • Allow movement of UI elements.
  • Option for self health bar above / below target heath bar.
  • Within range indicator below 1-5 buttons is inaccurate.
  • World Map: Turn on / off items from legend. Would help trying to locate that last POI or Vista for a zone that you just cant seem to locate. (ie hide/unhide Points of interest, vistas, and hearts individually)
  • An apply button for trait points, as well as a minus, so you can work on a build prior to applying it.
  • Character specific keybinds (I don’t need F2-4 at all on a necro, but as close to me as possible when playing elementalist)
  • Reorganisation of the skill bar (same skills, but if I want weapon skill one in position 5, I should be ablte to move it there.)
  • Tactical minimap (toggle option) change minimap behaviour to:
    * left click: ping
    * left click (hold): draw
    * right click: personal waypoint
    * right click (hold): move map
  • Improve Fog Of War make it more definable to show the areas not yet explored compared to explored areas
  • Tooltips for portals on the map listing their destination.
  • The ability to bind to mouse wheel up/down
  • Chat font size currently scales with your UI it should not
  • The Elite Skill that is included in Deluxe Version should have a tooltip on it stating how it can be obtained
  • See how many of each collectible you have in their tooltip
  • Change the white text color of boon stack number because it’s really hard to see when there are 2 digits. The boon icon is already white (in the background), and the number is also white.
  • Casting / Charge bar below target bar. (ability to see when target is casting) *Controversial
  • Target of Target display *Controversial

New Mechanics which aren’t in the game in any form:

  • An item that allows u to capture a skin into it. For example you have a steamblade, you use that item on it and you get a “steamblade skin” which you can then trade/use/gift/etc . This is slightly different than transmute stone as you do not need the destination item.
  • fishing in the game
  • Plastic surgery (for gems) allow revamp of characters face / hair choices.
  • Personal log of recently encountered skills, items, enemies, areas etc. Similar to the help window in Guild Wars. This log should be clickable & allow you to view the item in the wiki, the wiki should open in game instead of alt-tabbing you out of the game.
  • Custom Chat Channels (ie allow users to create custom chat channels with an optional password for access).
  • Ability to dye hair & Also lipstick
  • Armor “decay” in terms of looks only – scratches, blood splatter etc
  • Guild Recruiting bulletin board – Allow guilds to post an advertisement on the board while allowing users to browse the guilds & apply to join them. For an extra fee allow guilds to higher a town crier who will advertise their guild to passersby.
  • more skills per weapon (ie, let us learn different skills to choose from for our weapons) *Controversial

General:

  • Patch notes on launcher and website (not Facebook / Twitter) added
  • Left over heart quest items. (stuff left in inventory after you complete quest.. nothing else for them) Let me vendor em as trash.
  • Key Bind 3 Different keybinds. Loot, Resurrect and Interact. Sometimes I want to resurrect rather than looking an item or chopping a tree etc.
  • Toggle to show items in environment, rather than having to hold down ctrl.
  • Escape shouldn’t stop you from running.
  • Ability to link everything to chat. Gear, Recipes, Skills, from Preview Pane as well.
  • /who for the zone.
  • Vendor auto filter which is on by default. If you cannot use it because of profession (not level), do not show it.
  • Telegraph circles (NPC target circle) needs to be more visible.
  • Show titles under player names instead of only viewing them when you click the player
  • automatic town clothes in cities option
  • Town clothes shouldn’t swap out when you take falling damage.
  • Lower waypoint traveling costs
  • on screen FPS & latency display options
  • back/cloak items don’t show in some cases
  • bigger selection of underwater helms
  • bigger selection of cloak & back items
  • if I hide helm/shoulders in game on my character they should be hidden in character selection as well.
  • View your own portrait on the UI (next to the party list)
  • Provide each race with starter armor representative of their unique cultural aesthetic
  • Allow other races to purchase armor inspired by the other races
  • Items soulbound to another character in the bank should say which character they are soulbound too.
  • Make dungeon tokens bind to account, having to grind tokens on every single character for skins is not fun, Why can’t my ele earn armor skin tokens for my mesmer?
  • Too many NPC’s walk away and close dialog to fast while trying to read what they’re saying.
  • Double click from Inventory to bank should automatically stack like items.
  • Warning notification for items you’re about to salvage. I think some items do this but not all.
  • Mounts *Controversial
  • Inspecting other players with a privacy option to disallow inspection.*Controversial

Topic Moved PM not very specific

I received a PM from forum moderator telling me

A moderator moved a message you posted to the forum ‘Players Helping Players’ with the reason:
This isn´t a game but, as stated by the user. Therefore it will be moved to the sub forum “players helping players”.
Follow the new thread here.

This link leads me to the Players helping players forum, not the thread itself. The result is I have no clue which thread was moved nor can I find it. I have posted quite a bit in this forum and there really is no easy way to see your post history. So the messages being sent about threads being moved really need to be more specific, else they serve no purpose.
