“But what if my guild is super small?” you may say? Not to worry—all these missions take place in the persistent world, which gives you the ability to rally people from the surrounding countryside and maybe make some new friends in the process!

Guild Content – Read more about Guild Content updates in the recent blog post.
New guild upgrades are available.
The guild mission system has been implemented and includes the ability to earn merits.
Added new Guild Bounty, Guild Trek, Guild Rush, Guild Challenge, and Guild Puzzle mission types.
Added new personal rewards for participating in guild missions. These rewards can be purchased with commendations.
Banner art on existing guild upgrades has been updated.

Even a solo player can take part in these missions. They just don’t receive merits and commendations.

You first need to able to unlock the missions. aka +30.000 influence

you don’t have to unlock anything. You just need to be in the area of some other guilds mission.

Seriously I’m not going to lower myself anymore down to your level, you should do some reading before posting. If you have your own guild and you would like to get your own guild going you do need to unlock these things. Why do you think everyone in this thread is complaining ?

What do you think the maps would look like if every guild had access to guild missions? The servers would crash.

And we can’t stress it enough: You can help them, but don’t think you’ll get anything from it.

You get loot and influence for you to unlock guild missions for your self. These mission are like raids. Raids have never been for small guilds in other games.

How big is a guild mission? No one but Anet knows the answer to that. I think they are large raids.

Small guild in other games never had access to large raids. But they will be able to join in a large guild’s mission if they see one. Not sure about the puzzle.

This game has a two guild system. One guild for your friends. The other one for a large guild. You could also still invite your friends to your party. While you are representing the other guild in the guild mission.

There was a certain ‘adjustment’ to the game where it holds down your right click, and fixes your cursor just above your avatar’s head.

It made GW2 handle like a true action MMO as it should’ve been. But Anet took action against that reddit post. I saw the vid. It was just a simple tweak with autohotkey.

I guess Anet wants us to play it our way, their way.

Many people including myself have been requesting this as a build-in option.

I don’t like the term “hardcore players”. A player can play less and still be hardcore. If they play smart.

That’s why ANet called the target audience for the long term gear progression “dedicated” players, which IMO describes everything from very casual upwards quite well.

No! hardcore grinders do not buy many gems.

*Less cleaning tasks (I’m not their maid)
*Heart NPC’s should be in positions of authority. (no kids)
*Add puzzle elements

I personally don’t like the heart symbol. Depending on the area your in
the symbol should be different.

*Skull and cross bones for dangerous areas

Hardcore grinders will never be satisfied. They are only playing for better stats. And when they get their better stats, they complain about being board.

Anyone? I din’t post this suggestion so no one will comment.

*Red vs blue
*same races on both teams
*mirror like maps
These things make for very generic gameplay.

But if one team was good and the other was evil, you would have:
*non symmetrical maps
*one side of the map will look more evil.
*Add Enemy NPC outfits to SPvP locker (only your evil SPvP character can use)
*New more interesting SPvP game mods

SPvP (good vs evil)

Each race has their own enemies that look like them.

Asura vs. Inquest
Sylvari vs. Nightmare Court
Norn vs. Sons of Svanir
Humans vs bandits

My Suggestion:
SPvP-Let us play our evil conterparts. Make the SPvP games good vs evil.

*Create a evil counterpart character (If I am a Sylvari thief I can also
play a Nightmare Court thief.
*more cultural variations in how maps are designed.
Two teams (good and evil)
*good team (Asura, Sylvari, Norn, Humans)
*evil team (Inquest, Nightmare Court, Sons of Svanir, Humans)
*Players switch to the other team in the lobby.
*This works the same way as a switching sides on many online shooters.

The items in the chests need to be more useful. By increasing the number of items you receive from one chest to 10.

Items that can be added to chests
*One NPC town clothing in each chest
*Good chance of a rare that can be sold or salvaged.
*One rare crafting item
*One random item sold separately from the gem store
*One free bank expansion
*Karma Jugs

*Add a free BLC key to all gem store purchases over 300 gems. Except for key purchases.
*more sales on BLC keys.
*Don’t add any temporary holiday skins to BLC’s.

Just make BLC’s more rewarding.

Onshidesigns.1069

I don’t necessarily want new skills, I want skill runes like D3, i.e. you add an effect you want to all existing skills choosing from a pool of mods.
I find that system more in-depth than a simple “many skills” system, also easier to balance.

I think it’s the animations that would get old.

To me I may like one type of weapon, but hate the way the skills work on it.

New weapon skills could come in sets of 5 skills. A whole alternative weapon set.

Sylvari True Forms?

It might give away a lore element that ANet wants to remain unknown for now. There is something we don’t know about why the Sylvari / Nightmare Court / Elder Dragons are linked and seeing their true form might give too great a hint, depending on what it is.

I’m curious what it is though, none-the-less.

You mean Anet didn’t write the reason yet. They must have left it open for developing future content.

Roles: Design intent doesn't match gameplay

Posted by: Onshidesigns.1069

Onshidesigns.1069

As far as I can tell, and from what I’ve heard and read, the design intent with GW2 is that there are no healers, no tanks, no dps, etc, everyone can kinda do everything.

Everyone can do anything if they want. This is also so players can make builds that specialize more towards, say a tank. With some variety in non tank areas too.

Anet should make changing traits free. So people can experiment with new types of builds.

Anyone who complains about no healer or tank. Needs to lean how use traits and gear armor towards those traits.

Use the word veteran for the level cap

:Replace player level 80 with veteran.
:Level 80 weapons/armor will say veteran instead.
:Level 80 zones will be called veteran.
:lower level Zones numbers disappear.
:Remove down-scaled level and replace with * veteran*

Reasons for doing this:
:Removes the idea of reaching a level cap.
:Make it clear that traits/armor distinguishes players form each other.
:Makes the statement that level cap will not be raised.
:Makes the statement that once you reach veteran, it’s a whole new game.

I don’t see ANY POINT IN FUTURE EXPANSIONS without higher level cap.

You will launch expansions where we start at endgame???

I can’t understand. I supose leveling system is useless AT ALL. We all should start as level 80, there is no point anymore, no objective.

I wonder what is expansions all about, new areas? lol, new story? lol.
Without level cap, without any more items type or better items… Future expansions can’t be more than a new story and some new maps.

YOU GUYS must understand that if there is new maps, new items, new things, the market will change anyways, with or without higher level cap.

I don’t see ANY POINT IN FUTURE EXPANSIONS if Anet raises the level cap.

The Level cap Must be reachable by all players. So future expansions can be marketed to the whole player base.

Official xbox controller support

in Suggestions

Posted by: Onshidesigns.1069

Onshidesigns.1069

One reason they wont, if you can customize your controller to do things, and macro multiple things then you have a chance to macro multiple actions to one button, which in turn makes against the ToS and will get people banned. There are already modded controllers for Xbox that people use in FPS to gain an advantage and cheat, what makes you think they wont for this? Just because the OP or others that are commenting on this thread say they wont doesn’t mean that the other 500 wont.

Also unlike Microsoft that doesn’t care when people Cheat in games ( FPS; head-shot mods ect. ) Arena Net has taken a firm stand on no multiple action macros, they have left no gray area for it. Doesn’t matter if it is a harmless chat macro it is still a no no. So your controller will more than likely never see the light of day.

I can macro multiple things to a keyboard if I wanted too. There are plenty of buttons on a controller to do anything without using macros. If one of the button’s is a shift button.

Then you obviously didn’t read my post as I already stated why you can not macro multiple things via Keyboard or mouse or controller to one button as it violates the ToS and will get you banned. “Using a button as a shift key is not the same as a script that performs multiple actions”

People have been banned for macoring simple actions that would not break the fairness of the game but Arena Net say’s no period. So instead of saying yeah this macro is fine and no this isn’t and needing a group of people to just oversee it is harder than saying No macros that bind multiple actions period. Sure you can do it with a keyboard now and sure you can probably get away with it but do you really want to risk losing your account permanently if they catch you.

Like I said before I am sure people here posting would not abuse it and use modded controllers to cheat or what not, Although there will be more abuser’s than legal players, so if you want to blame someone blame them.

Cheaters will cheat with or with out a keyboard. Most will get away with it.

Macro are only one way people cheat. There also hackers, crackers, lag switches.
