Is there ever going to be a fix to the forced zoom when your toon is in a tight space? Can we look forward to looking at allowing the camera to move through the wall, ceiling, cliff and have that barrier become translucent.
To say it would be helpful would be an understatement.
Thanks!
I do not define what skilful play is, that is true, and also the point. The post was not meant to be big, I threw the question out there to:
1: Get a written reaction from people.
Seems you got reactions from people but didn’t like their reactions and then blamed them for not understanding your original issuse.
I’ll give you +1 for skillful play with a bonus to confusion.
We also need to know when they last logged on or represented the guild. I don’t want some grub representing the guild just to get access to the guild bank.
Fractals needs to be removed. Period.
And whatever is put in place for Monthly needs to be achievable by people that cant afford to play this game for hours on end every day. You know, the non-teen. The one with actual jobs and families and real lives…
Moderators please, PLEASE make these threads go away!
Why are they not infracted and removed?!
Dear [insert diety] please make it stop!
Can you people stop asking for your little pony already?
Never
Going
To
Happen.
PLEASE take Fractals out of the Monthly!
Sometimes it’s hard enough to get in there once in month.
THe only problem I can see with that is when larger guilds come together for group events and suddenly you have hundreds of little gold dots to track…
Saying that, as a member of a few, smaller guilds, it would be a great feature to have, seeing as we’re usually too big for one party, but not always big enough for two.
Have you seen some of the zergs in WvW? If it works there it should work in PvE considering you don’t have THAT many guildies on any one map at one time.
It just keeps going and going and going… long after the target is dead and out of range.

Hello, I’m here to crush your dreams.
Fair’s fair notice – If you post it I get to comment on it.
Lots of dreams have been crushed recently.
Have a nice day!
Good morning.
It looks like I had the wrong information about how guild influence works with guesting.
The correct answer is: You still get influence for your home world guild when you are guesting.
Sorry for the wrong information yesterday.
Hey Martin, How about the wrong information provided to GW players here:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-world-of-choice-the-regions-of-guild-wars-2/
by Regina Buenaobra on August 16, 2012
There was ZERO mention that guesting would only be regional.
By the looks of the tone of all these posts, your customers aren’t happy. I wonder if it’s because the large global guilds that enjoyed playing with members from The United States, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and The Netherlands at the same time – won’t be able to any more.
If the big issue is WvW then allow guesting other servers without letting that guest access WvW or PvP areas! It’s not that hard. If someone wants to participate in WvW or PvP on a server other than their home world make them pay the gem transfer fee – but stop penalizing the PVE Guild focused gamer!

By default, we display the worlds that are hosted in your regional data center, but you will be able to select a home world from either region at this time. So, for example, if you are a European player who prefers to play on the North American worlds, you’re free to do so.
At launch, players will be able to transfer between worlds freely. However, once server populations have largely settled and stabilized, world transfers will be restricted to once a week and cost a variable amount of gems based on the population of the world being transferred to.
In time, we’ll also introduce free “guesting,” which will allow players to visit other worlds as guests as long as they have friends on those worlds. This feature will be free, but guest players will not be able to enter World vs. World, and the Power of the Mists bonuses from their home world will continue to apply to their characters.
Zero mention of server region for guesting. ZERO.
I have question for all of you unhappy people:
If you have so many friends you want to play with in EU and NA why didn’t you all make accounts in same server when you started playing since time zones are no problem for you?
As part of an international guild I have both NA and EU friends. In GW1 we could play together in the afternoons, US time. In the evenings they were all in bed so I would play with the US. When GW2 opened we did try all playing on a EU server, but the population dropped so dramatically after 9pm ET that some group events became unplayable. In other words, time zones are an issue but we still want the opportunity to play with our European friends when they are on.
Don’t blame ArenaNet for your bad planning of your gameplay. They are doing best they can and maybe one day we will have NA/EU guesting, but till then be happy they are trying. No game is perfect and no matter how great professionals one company has it’s impossible to have everything right away.
This is a great game and time it takes to fix stuff and bring new one is shortest possible. Instead of complaining about everything, be more thankful, because if they didn’t try you would have got no game to play today.
Except they have made no claim that they are “fixing” anything. They promised one thing and have given us another. If they had said international guesting was still being worked on, it wouldn’t be so upsetting. Instead they just bailed on guesting and dumped this imperfect mess on us.
I completely agree! As a member of MARA, a world wide guild of mature over the age of 30 gamers on Gunnar’s and Yak’s, I say we were promised the ability to play with any friend anywhere with the guesting ability – as clearly stated previously by ANet.
This is for
Don’t blame ArenaNet for your bad planning of your gameplay.
Bad game play planning? How is a guild of 600+ members living on 5 different continents being promised “international guesting” by A-Net bad planning on our part?
Guesting in Region only was not what was promised and cuts a nearly decade old guild in half on GW2.
And who can afford to pay to constantly to move servers ever 7 days? AND pay more to move to highly populated servers!
Very uncool, A-Net… very uncool.
ANet could easily make a guesting ability for PVE to international servers only. All the world transfer complaints are only from the WvW players and completely disregards the PVE environment player. Charge gems for moving WITH PvP abilities, don’t penalize PVE players/guilds/FRIENDS!
I suggest you invest time into learning the battlefields around these ledges/bridges before running into them (I believe you dislike the dredge base in Frostgorge where they have landmines on bridges that send you off.)
I believe you don’t know me or my play style and therefore have no basis for telling me my suggestion/idea is bad/invalid. I believe that you saying I need to learn to play better is a lame argument that a lot of “1337” gamers use. I believe that if you want to provide a substantial reason why you are against the idea instead of pointing the blame at me being unable to “learn” you might have gotten a more agreeable response instead of a retort.
Have a nice day.
Or you could just buy a new character slot…
That you can’t transfer any of the hard earned skills, weapons, armor or crafting levels to. That isn’t an option for a large number of the GW2 community.
If I would have known about the camera issues with jumping puzzles, I would have never created a Norn. It’s the reason I deleted my Charr before I put too much into him. But my Norn was my first toon and I put way too much into him to dump him for a newborn toon.
There should be some way for a racial transfer without losing your loot, crafting, traits, etc… Replaying the story line would be punishment enough.
If I can be hit, knocked, shoved or pushed off a cliff, ledge, wall, building, bridge… whatever… by an enemy then I should be able to knock the Centaur, Skritt, Etin… WHATEVER doesn’t fly – off the cliff, ledge, wall, building, bridge… as well. AND they should take fall damage with the same “Ugh, I fell and it hurts” delay in getting up. If it dies from the fall it dies from the fall, just like me.
Allowing the target to be shoved off an edge and then stand back up in air and come at you is lame.
Please fix it.
I am baffled by the comparison of BLT to real life taxes and what is legal/illegal.
You know this is a game, right?
First – It seems the actual issue here is that someone has an “I was here first” mentality. Do you propose a selling queue? Can you imagine that in a free market system? I’m sorry, you can’t buy milk cheaper from me because the other store listed theirs first… HA!
If you want it to sell fast, price it to sell fast.
Secondly, you obviously do not remember standing in LA or Spamadan selling items.
Finally – There should be a return to the seller if an item(s) have not sold. There should not be a monetary penalty to the seller.
You would think they would add a collection spot for your Bakers Dry, Bakers Wet, Divinity Herbs stuff. Storage is finite…
Stick with your toon. If you’ve had it with the 1-15 area in one place, go to your home map and travel to Lions Arch and on to a new place. Explore… check out all the nooks and crannies. You’ll be amazed at the loot, treasure and amazing stuff you’ll find in the the most innocuous places!
1.) If you are getting your butt handed to you and you decide to run away. DO NOT run at and then PAST another player. All you’re doing is dragging that mob to an unsuspecting gamer. Way uncool if you don’t hang around.
2.) If you’re downed and someone risks their butt to help you DO NOT just hop up and run away. Make sure your savior isn’t needing help. Oh, make sure to say thanks. It’s easy, type “/s ty”. It will appear above your head and the person that helped you will be able to see it.
1.) Find a greatsword for your Guardian.
2.) Have fun!
Add colored dots to represent Guildmates. To keep the game from trying to keep track of everyone, just display Guildies that are currently representing on the region map the player is currently in.
Just as a side note, not one single Anet forum moderator/developer/whatever has commented on the whole Guild Alliance or Guild Chat issue that is MISSING from this game.
Why are the location events on weekdays [ie, WORKdays] and not on a weekend? I understand the whole ‘global’ aspect of the game but really? Everything drops at the same time on all servers, American and European? At least set the beginning at times where people actually might be home to participate – perhaps weekday evenings; and at times appropriate to the server time zones.
Well then I suggest that you prove it. If you can add a party member dot to the world map as well as the mini map, then:
Add indicator dots to the map – and only the map you are currently on – to show your guild mates that are representing. Might be an issue in LA but I seriously doubt it.
So when you read the name of this forum you completely ignored the “suggestion” part? Or are you simply of the opinion that suggestion and complaining is the same thing, because A ) you must have really had a sad childhood B ) it’s not.
He was unable to see that the forum was “Suggestions” because the pet was in the way.
Your system in GW1 for Guild Alliances was really great. Why hasn’t this been added to this game?! I belong to a large GLOBAL guild – European, American, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Asian… we’ve got A LOT of members.
Currently we have one North American server guild and two European server guilds – and nobody can communicate unless we have people on the “Friends” list. If I can cross server whisper, then cross server chat should be attainable in a Alliance Chat format.
But you need to have the ability to have ALLIANCES.
We need to be able to do what we did in GW1 with Guilds.
Not one single ANET rep has ever commented on these posts… maybe that disappointment can end and an answer can be obtained.
Am I the only one really disappointed with the voice acting?

Are your criticisms mostly being leveled at the personal story and cinematic conversations, or also with the ambient scenes and events?
For me it’s the personal story cut scenes. I took my ranger to assist the Ogres. The “ogre in charge” was horribly voiced. The voice sounded like a woman – trying to sound like a man trying to sound like an ogre. It was horrible!
There are no accents, no oddities in speech, no… nothing. It amazes me that all races and species in Tyria have perfect English language skills.
It seems like it was the last thought and no one wanted to review how it flowed with the animation on screen. And if all these voice overs were reviewed by a group, well… you need some new ears in your office!
Consider the SEARCH field to see if the subject you want to discuss has been posted and add you comment to that thread. After a new comment a thread bumps back to the top of the page. No need to recreate over and over.
I’m putting together my “Wish List” for the holiday. I hope your ghost and goblin helpers can get your hearse packed up for your ride across the world delivering gifts to all the boys and girls!
1.) Alliance Chat – it sure would be nice to have the ability to have global guilds that have members on multiple servers (Europe and North America for example) to be able to talk to eachother – even if you won’t let us play together… gotta keep ’em separated…
2.) Alliances… duh. Let our guilds be able to join together. Sure sucks when we have nealy 700 members that can’t all talk.
3.) I love the little blue dots on the mini-map that show my party. How about guild members being shown – if only for the current map you are on?? Gosh that would be super nice.
4.) Please have your nastiest baddies visit the Camera Development Team. Give them a nasty rash in sensitive areas for bestowing us with a camera that zoom into the back of my head when I’m next to a wall when trying to manage a jumping puzzle. They deserve to be tarred and feathered daily until they fix it.
5.) Chests… please at least try to up the odds that the weapon or armor that is received after spending an hour trying to get through the horrible-camera-caused-blind-jump-to-my-death jumping puzzle be something I can actually use. Nothing better than finally getting to the Splendid Chest with a sigh of relief at not dying… again… only to find armor that doesn’t work for my class or weapons that cannot be used by my class.
I’ll be leaving your preferred bottle of Moonshine on the table!
Merry Screamness!
Guilds and communication - still need Alliance Chat!

As a member of a global guild, many of our members find it difficult coordinating with one another. We have members in Australia, North America and all over Europe. The European members complain about playing on a North American sever for the same reason North American members complain about European servers.
But we have to suffer this completely fixable issue if we wish to continue to play with the people that have become more like family than internet/gaming friends.
Anet could fix this with the establishment of some type of Alliance Chat – where associated guilds on separate servers can chat with each other. Unless they fix this, all the friendships that have been made are going to vanish. Once Anet charges players a fee to change servers all bets are off. Tight knit guilds are going to vanish and people are going to get mad.
1.) Allow guilds to align across servers.
2.) Add an /Alliance chat.
Anet pushed the “play with friends” mantra but are effectively separating us.
FIX IT!
Along with some of the hookie dialogue is some really horrible choices for voices. Without providing too much of a spoiler, one of my toon’s personal stories has him interact with Ogres. The Ogre chief is obviously male. The voice actor is obviously female, trying to talk with a deep voice to impersonate a man… trying to sound like an Ogre.
I’ve noticed this a number of times where they really didn’t consider the voice for the NPC. Sad really; they could have done much much better.
Not everybody plays WvW, WvWvW.
But I’m sure you knew that.
Date and times for each server – per geographical location – are based on a large number of factors. It’s really very easy to know exactly when the event, update or unique experience will occur.
The easiest way to know is to check if you have any free time to play. If you do, the event will not occur. The events are scheduled to coincide with your spouse/partners need for you to help clean out the garage/basement or discuss that potential life altering lets get married/buy a house/have a baby/bring mom to live with issue. If in the event that you are in game and witness the event happening and are able to join, your dog will have the runniest runs on the living room carpet, the toilet will explode or your 6 year old will vomit on your keyboard.
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Why not just give everyone wings or a car?
Look ANET, fix the &^$#@ camera. I’m sick of dying because I can’t see in tight places. Getting near a tree, cliff face, wall, ceiling, bush, structure… whatever the camera gets all screwed up STILL. I know you guys said you fixed it but you didn’t really fix it.
Here is the easy fix – Make the blocking object opaque, transparent, misty… whatever, just make it see through. I’m pretty sure we’ll understand what is happening. It would be much better than the zoomed in, blind movement, fall to your death, yelling at the screen rage that you developed for the game so far.
Please, please, please, please, please fix it!
“Guild Wars 2 is a totally different game”
That’s why there is a big number 2 behind the title.
Guild Alliances
* Alliance Chat
* Guild Halls
At least an alternate option for skills on the 1-5 slots… like a choice of 2 or 3 to create a more personalized toon.
Show my guild mates on the mini map! I mean COME ON!!
Please raise the guild cap of 500 or add Alliances

Guild alliances are a must. It’s a huge fail on ANET’s part for not thinking of this initially.
For the love of the Guild Wars Gods please please please bring back Guild Alliances and Alliance Chat.
There are way too many long standing guild with membership over and above the current Guild member cap. These members come from all spots on the globe but share a common bond. ANET is effectively destroying those bonds by removing the ability for these guilds to communicate. The ability was there in GW1: Factions and was a huge success. It should be fairly easy to initiate, so please do it!
A daily limit would be a much better idea than a guild password. A disgruntled guildmate with the password can clean out the cache while a disgruntled guildmate (oh hacked account) would only be able to take out a set amount per day – this should be an option customizable by the guild leader – and if abuse is noticed, action could be taken prior to a guild loosing everything.
Safe zone? What is that? I thought I would be safe in an outpost for a few minutes only to come back and find the whole place overrun, me dead and the closest functioning waypoint was a long haul away.
Surprise!
What is a guild to do when their roster is maxed out? What is a guild to do when they have more than double the number of active members moving from GW1 to GW2 with less than half the roster space?
I know of a few hundred account holders that would greatly appreciate guild alliances and Alliance Chat. I bet those few hundred also know a few hundred, and so on…
I am a member of MARA which has been represented in GW1 for a very long time. We are still present in GW1, with very large and active guilds on both the Kurzick and Luxon sides. Without the ability to ally with another guild and the alliance chat that was available in game, our 1000+ members on GW1 would be a string of unaffiliated gamers with the same Guild tag, unable to communicate, coordinate or converse without going through a ridiculous process.
In GW2 we are encountering this same problem. Our first guild has grown to the maximum allowable members which has forced us to begin a new guild – which is not a bad thing at all really. The bad thing is that we cannot talk to each other. That is more than bad, it’s downright un-Guild Wars.
I would love to see an alliance ability added to the game ASAP. I urge everyone to pressure Anet into getting it done!
Stop healing, start killing and loot will come.
It’s great when you are trying to back up or move sideways to avoid an attack and your camera gets all spastic from a wall/tree/rock/building and you can’t see to face the target to hit it.
Super awesome fantastic fail – Death bykitten —- WTF? I typed “d-e-r-p”!
Try this: http://www.guildhead.com/map
Aren’t the majority of GW2 players coming from GW1 where when you selected a target and chose your attack skill/clicked on the target, your toon moved to that target and/or initiated contact. That functionality is currently only available with weapons that work at a specific range – and I believe that is what the OP is inferring.
I’m still getting used to the feel of this new version and it will take others time as well.
