Guild Wars 2

Since guild wars is all about guilds, why not improve on the current system to make it more entertaining. The following are things I believe should be included in the future to help differentiate between guilds and bring self-pride that you belong to certain guilds.

1 – GvG – Simple guild vs guild. GW1 had it and I hope GW2 will be getting it in the coming month. I have high expectations of this being added to GW2.

2 – Guild Ranking – We have player, pvp, wvw rankings. We should also have a guild ranking. This can be based on anything from gvg point (like in gw1), Total influence earned since guild first created, Total bounties captured etc. This will provide bragging rights and also create an interest in the community as in which guild should they join.

3 – Last Log In – In order for us to properly manage our guild it would be effective to know when the last time a person has logged in. This will help us remove players that do not contribute to the guild so we are able to invite more players.

4 – Player Contribution – We should be able to have another tab where we can see what our guild mates have done for the guilds. On this tab each Leader and Officers (or Everyone) should be able to see how much influence they have provided the guild. There should also be a timer showing how long they have rep the guild (just like the /age but for when the person joined a guild)

5 – Guild Achievements – Another tab where everyone works together in the guild to obtain these achievements. These achievements can be based off the guild missions and can be lifetime like wvwvw. For example:

Tier 1 of Bounty Hunter
5/250 Captured
Tier 2 of Bounty Hunter
251/1000
Tier X of Bounty Hunter
xxx/xxxxx
Title: You can Run but you Cant hide

By completing every tier, each member receives a chest that contains commendations, rares, exotics, etc. This will provide additional incentives to promote a better environment to play with others. We can also incorporate a title system as well. The leader can choose from which title they want the guild to show.

6 – Achievement Symbols. Just like when a player gets 100% map completion, there should be a symbol next to the guild name or tag. Changing the tag colour can also represent achievements.

7 – Guild Halls Agian like GW1 but we can have statues of all the achivement we have accomplished. We can send out invites. We can hold special guild events here. Reply past events. I shouldnt even be mentioning this one!

7 – Alliances – Just like in GW1, we had the opportunity to make alliances with other guilds. We can have cross communications through a different chat tab. This will allow smaller guilds join with larger ones. Allies can help other allies with their guild missions and be rewarded as well. This will help the smaller guilds in making a name for themself. It will also provide a bigger roaster for players finding player for dungeons or instances.

Having these additional things to do with friends will certainly help build a stronger community. What do you think?

If you have the correct amount it will only take that amount nothing more even if your stack of items are more then required. If you look closely at the MF, when you place the 4 items it will show a small number under it. That number represent how much the MF will take out of your stack.

Oh lord of RNG. Please forgiveth the blasphemous tongue of Im Mudbone.1437 for he is not sane. Through thy mightiness bless us with thy prosperity, to cleanest our selfish needs. So thou shall hear of thy laurels and bounties thy have delivered.

Thanks for that!

does anyone know if we about to infuse the utility infusion to include the bonus effect plus 5 ar?

if so, can you provide the recipe? I don’t want to waste 20 laurels to find out that I can not infuse it.

Well even if thats the case. I am sure they can implement it when we kill something just like in wvw. If I remember correctly, Habib Leow (Sorry for the last name mispelt) mention thakittens easier to make Bag of Loot then the shiny effect. It reduced the poly-pixel count and then reduce the server stress.

On top of that the bodies can disappear which will further reduce culling since your system doesn’t need to generate that image on the screen anymore. Now I am not saying that the bags should teleport at your feet but just on the dead body making it easier for everyone to locate and gather their loot.

@Vol.5241

Just to prove to you that i am not a liar as you claim. Just got this from the last fractal chest!

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound like a politician. : )

Specifically, no changes were made to any content files. So no new downloads were needed, the maintenance update was just that.

So can you confirm that lyssa’s event was not nerfed then? Or that Risen wraith’s loot table was not affected?

Wow couldnt say it better than myself. I was actually making progress becuase of this farm. It was fun, enjoyable, and it got you mats that are required. But what kitten ing me off the most is that anet will not recoqnize this nerf.

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

Actually, I find it easier to spot sparkling dead bodies than tiny brown bags…. :\

Just like in guild wars 1, If you push crtl (default button) the bag of loot will be highlighted and you then pinpoint them on the screen.

Then can you tell me which rule I am breaking that will get me banned for farming?

While playing the Southsun Event that were recently introduce, I notice something new. The crazy mobs would drop bag of loot instead of becoming shiny. I was confused at first but then I notice how easy it was to locate you loot.

Is there any way of implementing this in the actual world. It would help us to physically see the bags instead of running through and push in f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f. You get the point.

Vol.5241:

I don’t want to be that guy, but you can only get essence from Orr mobs, so you lie :P

But yes, it’s worthless – it would be worth more if they had more relevant recipes other than Orr-related stuff

Unfortunately, it looks like you haven’t played in fractal. You can get these thing from the fractal chest and wooden chest. Because they are considered rare you loose out since its in the pool with other rare items.

You are doing a level 26 dredge fractal. You slay countless dredge in order to progress, to find your freedom. You reach the might ice elemental! You started to attack forcing him to chase you. To its surprise, you pour melting hot lava all over it. It attacks you with Agony. You run for your life to the next spot while beating down on the elemental body.

Fast forward to 10 mins later.. The Ice Elemental is slain. You and your companions rejoice with this heroic accomplishment. You then notice a giant chest spawns. You think to your self its time to receive your hard works fruits. You open it insert Zelda opening chest tune here only to find out you were robbed. You receive the most dullest rare item in the ENTIRE GW world, the infamous Pile of Putrid Essence.

Please remove this items rarity. Its not rare at all. You receive this anywhere and it feels like you wasted your time. It feels like you were supposed to obtain something awesome yet you were given that thing.

Again Please remove the rarity of this item. It is currently 4copper on the TP. Its worth less.

The farm is not an exploit. If you want to complete the quest it is very easy doable. There is no blocking exploit here. Its just that the player want to farm.

You will not be BANNED!

also theres another thread about this:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/Lyssa-Event-north-WP-farm/first#post2070361

The thing is we dont want to stop you from completing Lyssa, Just dont start from the north way point. let us know that you needs lyssa and start on the other quests. Once your done with that come to us and we will mostly like help in completing the quest as we will be kill the mobs.

After that be my guest and attempt to kill Lyssa. You fail at that, your lost not our. Instead of being trolls why not start with the other parts of lyssa and let us enjoy this perfectly LEGIT farming method.

Need help. Everyone in Game sees me offline. I thought this was a one time thing but everyone is saying that can not see me online. According to my screen I am online but no one is able to see me or whisper to me.

Please help.

Anyone else experience poor network connection. As in you experience the following

1 – Wont let you join a party in a dungeon. You will get the prompt but nothing happens when you select to join.

2 – You only see [] instead of the guild’s abbreviation.

3 – You randomly get a message saying to check your network connections.

I just wanted to know if anyone else it getting this or its just me. I have tried to connect my internet directly to the modem instead of the router, but i still get these message from time to time.

anyone have any suggestions on how to make sure that the internet connections is constant?

Its a shiny version of FarmVille.

But yeah i agree on both ends. Its prevents many people from mass farming but on the other hand it ruins the game. I want to spend my time and money on farming and I don’t want to sit in Lion’s Arch and stare at the TP. I want to go out and kill stuff over and over again until I am bored of doing it… Why?? Well cuz I can.

I don’t like to be held back when i know i could have been doing something productive in game.

Same thing happened to us. Mad us go mad since 3 of our guild members didnt complete it yet.

@sovta – What new level 80 map? I am talking about how annoying it is to play in orr. It feel like they want to empty out those parts of the map so we go somewhere else. Guess what there is no where to go other that Frostgorge.

Simple question what would you prefer and why:

A) Having high density of mobs in Orr

or

B) Having low density of mobs in Orr but with power to kite?

Simply question as i am tired of being slowed/immobilized from walking about in the world. Also i don’t mind killing more stuff then be stop from moving. Its just kitten annoying, not FUN. I don’t like anet’s version of “FUN”

Agree… I am really tired of hearing everyone complaining that we are elitist if we like to do cof sc.

Everyone should be thankful that Anet Provided FIVE… that right FIVE character slots…. that should allow you to create at least 1 toon that can be any (mesmers, guardian and warrior) which will allow you to do most dungeons.

I personally played with my ele on most of the dungeons until i fell in love with my warrior!

As for necro its my WvW and it owns all zerg so I done really care about dungeons

I am also really disappointing on this change because mainly I play WvW from UK with my friends on NA.

But not only that, all this means the is that WvW QUEUE will be be much longer…… Resetting the time for the West Coast doesn’t guarantee that they will be able to play. All it does is reduced your chance of getting in after reset as everyone will be fighting to get in.

Yes i know life is not fair but look at everything before your make your changes..

So, how would you suggest they made it fair? There will ALWAYS be people that will get negatively effected, no matter what they do. (That is of course unless they make the reset personal for every single player in the game, and that would never work)

I wasn’t complaining on the fact that they changed the timing. I was making a point that it was kinda pointless. It doesn’t matter when the reset happens, its the 2 – 5 mins after it does. Within that time frame you will either get in wvw or queue up which can take hours. However if they left it as is or how they reset earlier like last Friday that should allow the west coast players to continue fight since they will be able to get in after the first wave of players leave.

I know its done before but i like mine
Even Spent 15g changing his name

Head: SE
Shoulders: HotW
Chest: SE
Arms: HotW
Legs: Student Pants
Boots: HotW

Finished World 1. spent 25 mins finding out where to go in world 2 zone 1 so we quit for now. but excellent job!

This is really long… Just half way through path zone 3 world 1…. running out of coins

Awesome job. Reminds me of all those games i play….

discusses you thoughts!

Yeah this is a bug. I think anet might be aware of it. When this happens just restart GW client. It will fix the problems most of the time.

Anyone else experiencing major lag during game play. like whatever you type something and shows up on the acreen 2 mins later or not connecting to the game server?

Its acting like the lost shore patch.

Was playing fractals with a random group in the volcanic one. We got to the final boss when all of sudden some of us stepped into the lava that pops up from the floor. 2 of our party members avoided it while the rest got trapped.

Now we died… however the lava effect was not going away. We were taking -4200 dmg per second. At the end we all died and restarted from the checkpoint. But at this point as soon as we rezzed we died immediately as the lava effect was still on going. Even after we died we were still being burn to our horrible death. our allies couldn’t rez us because the burning was still on us.

So we left the fractal only to find out.. WE WERE STILL ON FIRE. Group fell apart because we had to wait 1 HOUR for the effect to ware off. Once we reached LA it was gone. But i do expected some compensations for destroying my armor for not letting us complete the fractals.

This pic shows that we had the lava affect on but i wasnt able to take a pic while the mouse was hovered over it to shows its duration.

Thanks… I already had Chantry of Secrets but I didnt open the chest there. but i got it

Hello,

I just did World Completion however I did not receive my chest. I tried to restart GW, Logged out and back in, Teleported to random areas and still no chest.

Please help as I want my gift of explorations.

Thanks.

Kinda self explanitory. A booster that will reduce the tax for selling items at the BLTP.

It can help reduce the current market price while still keep the price at a decent level.
It can also be limitted to crafting materials, wepons, trophies etc.

Just my 2 cents since you can hardly make a profit now cuz of the taxes.

A happy gamer
