Guild Wars 2

That’s awesome…good work!

Best tip for Staff Ele…keep moving…yes you have to plant for some things(like meteor shower), but otherwise…keep moving and uses your dodges very carefully to help keep you alive.

Non-Tempest Build I use…
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFEQFAWhUMoph9MwqB0RMIAYyKoEkCiAQBoIWby2QaA-ThSDABKoE8JlH/oEDATQEYix4HAQMqqkwFA4l9H1KARHAA-e

Rune choices I prefer are Flame Legion, Fire, or Elementalist. (Fire is your big damage, so you will be in that attuenment more than others…but I rotate through them all based on the fight I am in…:) )

Sigils are your choice…just use a pairing that makes sense.

One key sequence I use is Arcane Shield>Meteor Shower. (The shield keeps your full channel of Metoer Shower from being interrupted MOST of the time…not 100%, but usually works well.)

To get started…Thsi is a PvE non-berserker build…

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJMQNAR3JjMdQlH43BciYgIosAICGgrMyglX/ipfLA-TxCBwASOCA12fQpSsU6Gwq8gnqCJMxhTtGKKBBcQAg8AAAA-e

Strength runes are pricey, so Holbrak(almost as bad) or maybe Pack would work. I think Rune of Fire is a good starting option and its cheap to get you going.

Make tweaks that work for you.

WvW and PvE are 2 totally different beasts, IMO…but opinions vary. This is PvE…I’m still trying to find builds I enjoy in WvW…I don’t even like the metas for WvW for the most part because certain things are still buggy…

I posted this in another thread…but it works for this one as well…hope it helps.

In PvE most things will work unless you are trying to do somehting that doesn’t make sense, on purpose…but that’s just crazy.

That being said…I have ran this in Maguuma with good results:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJMQNAR3JjMdQlH43BciYgIo0vY63CLAigB4KjMY5B-TxCBwAKVihV5BPVFSpbQyRAIhJOcq1QRJIgDCAkHAQt9HAA-e

This is a non-berserker version, and I have ran this a loooong time…even before it became a “Raid” meta. It makes sense and does well in GW2 Open World. I run solo out in Maguuma a lot.

Skill that is blank can be whatever you need…stability, condition cleanse…whatever you seem to have trouble with. You can also swap out the precision signet for your choice of other utility.

I have Strength Runes, but I got them when they were cheap. Pack or Holbrak would work well too.

I left a sigil off GS, and really in PvE you can add one you like…Flame, v Undead, Precision, Force, etc…as long as it makes sense, it will work for you in PvE. Same gos for the Axe/Mace Sigils.

I mixed in a little bit of Knight’s, plus a Cavalier backpiece(since it is easy to get in Orr at a temple) if you’d like to be a little more “tanky”…but I think you will, as you get more comfortable playing, migrate those to Berserkers as well. Be aware that with a higher toughness sometimes you will draw aggro…so it is good to squad up when running events in Maguuma if people are around. Its easy to change this to a Phalanx Strength(Might Sharing) build when you are in a squad, but that is a whole other build and thread.

Many of the posts here link to good reliable builds…again…check them all out…play what you enjoy and works best for you.

Good luck.

Please, use any of these as a base…and make tweaks that work for you and make it fun for you.

Ummm…<raises hand meekly>…can we get what the new pairings for NA will be?(I know we haven’t reset yet)

Just so we know…:)

I’m ok with Home Instance being “Player Housing”.

Give us an empty domicile in each Starting City Home Instance.

Add free decorations from a vendor(unlocking new ones as you level your toon), and decorations that unlock as rewards from doing in-game stuff(events, map completions, JP end chests, etc.) NO CRAFTING for Home Instance decorations. Don’t make this part a “gold sink”…Guild Halls do that enough.

Also some “Scavanger-Hunt” style things, or some collections, to unlock Crafting Stations/Vendors/BLTP/Bank Access in your Home Instance. Make it all accessible for everyone…i.e. nothing exclusive to Raids/EotM/Fractals.

I know this would take work to tweak base game functionality of Home Instances, but base structure/functionality is there from GH stuff…I hope someone can look at this for future inclusion/development.

Knega.2905:

This is actually a great thing wow. Probably the first of its kind I’ve seen in an MMO. And boys, I ’ve been in a lot of forums of MMOs in the past few years, but the generosity of the GW2 Community is unreachable. You guys are bomb and I hope you keep it going!

snip

Keep it up guys, I’m not expecting much from this, but I just wanted to tell u that u’re awesome and I’m happy to be part of this community. Ok enough bum kissing. Sorry.

EDIT: Oh, I’m EU. whoops

What Runes/Sigils are you looking for? Often I keep Superior Sigils and Runes in case any friends or Guildies need something. Add what you are looking for in your post so some of us GW2 Hoarders may be able to help you out! I may not have a full set of Runes you are looking for, but 1 or 2 gets you that much closer.

Can NA in game mail EU? I didn’t think of that…I hope so…if not that’s silly…

OK, full disclosure. I have made 2 previous posts regarding Wintersday Drinks and Charged Lodestones. I am removing those previous posts and combining them here.

These are long-term goals, and I have only requested assistance on 2 items that I am also working on gathering, but both are just very slow going.

Mjolnir – Charged Lodestones – COMPLETED!

I have a character by the name of Thor Odinson, a Norn Guardian. Flaming Red Hair and Beard, as the All Father intended.

He has Gungnir(Odin’s Spear) as his Spear already. I am currently using Droknar’s Forgehammer and the skin for Courage as his primary weapon set(1-Hand Hammer(Mace) and Bottle of Mead(Focus)).

What I needed were Charged Lodestones. I have made the Gift of Lightning(that took 100), so I need 250 to make Mjolnir.

As Promised, I was not trying to scam anyone, pic is posted below of Mjolnir in my Character’s hands to prove I did not make this to sell.

1/5/2017 – Total Count: 250/250 MJOLNIR COMPLETED!

Progress:
Started in 2015…posts removed due to thread length.
1/3/2017: 87/250 thanks to a Secret Santa gift that was very generous!
1/5/2017: Lucky drop from BLC. Endless Repair Contract. Sold on TP and bought the remainder of Lodestones needed. Almost 2 years, but I got it. And it is SWEET!

Wintersday Drinks – COMPLETED

Working on Winter’s Presence for my Mesmer, who looks remarkably similar to Santa. IGN Santa Odin. (Pic attached below.)

Snowflakes falling in his presence almost feels mandatory…lol And yes, I do already have the Snowflake Glider. All I would need is a way to make him smell like Sugar Cookies and have an eye patch with the hat, and he’d be perfect…he’s a winter festival spirit kinda guy…:)

I had enough gold leftover(plus selling about 3x 2-3 G exotics I had sitting in my bank) to purchase all remaining drinks needed for Winter’s Presence!

Progress:
Started 2015. Posts removed due to thread length.
1/3/2017: 2,777/10,000…Thanks to a Secret Santa and some generous players with gifts exchanges in a WvW Theme Night.
*1/5/2017: Thansk to same lucky drop from BLC. I purchased all remaining drinks

I hope combining these is ok, not trying to break our guidelines or anything.

Thanks to all those who helped me out.

I had seen(and posted in) that thread before. It just keeps getting lost. Plus since doing things like this does show creativity within the elements available in the game, I thought it would make sense to sticky it here, as opposed to in general discussion or somewhere else. It could be cool to move those posts here, and stickie this at the top…easy to find, easy to peruse for ideas.

Just a suggestion.

Absolutely Awesome!

Any chance Gaile or another dev/mod could stickie this at the top as special section of “In-Game Cosplay”

Maybe we should have one for GW2 Inspired Cosplay as well…that Mesmer Cosplay post is awesome!

Silvatar.5379:

HaHaHa! That’s awesome. There needs to be an “offical” cosplay thread sticky so others can see stuff like your Winnie before this thread gets buried too. Great job!

That’s a great idea…I’ll add that as a posting to this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/creations/Cosplay-Screenshots/first#post6171721

Maybe Gaile or someone else will sticky it for us.

This is a very cool Winnie! Good work…the piglet is a great touch!

I would encourage you to add this to the above thread as well, so we can help it become a permanent addition as a stickied thread.

I believe you also get a special decoration for your GH as well. So, its not just the backpack skin.

I see your Flash…and I add a Green Arrow…:)

With Guild Wars Guru shutting down soon (/bowhead), yeah I’d go reddit Guild Wars too.

They have done a lot of work moving many of the guides and such from original GuildWars Guru to a new section being provided on GuildWars2 Guru.

Just FYI

DeanBB.4268:

So what about Revenants and any future professions that don’t get to choose their skills? They are just SOL?

Due to the skill assignment mechanics of the Revenant…it appears so…not that I agree…just that that is how it was designed.

Not fair, agreed…but also in light of what the Revenant is and where his power/skills come from…I can see the logic…even if it is slightly flawed logic.

OK…had a nice post all written up…and it got an error when posting and I lost it all…:(

To sum it up:

I’m all for a small buff. Lets say to duration and lowering CDs on the racial skills…more so than buffing power of the skills themselves(although a SLIGHT boost on power of each skill would be welcome by many…I’m personally ok with duration and cooldown adjustments to where they last a little longer and we can use them a little more often.)

Just enough to make them viable for use in certain play-styles/builds. Not enough to make one race more appealing than another…unless you just like the thought of having Animal Forms…or to be able to summon Golems…etc. I am in no way advocating for another URSANWAY type of situation…just so that if you would like to use them, they wouldn’t hinder you…as some actually do hinder effectiveness currently.

I may be in the minority here, but no cross-race learning of racial abilities. These are what makes each Race “special”. Lets not lose sight of that.(ducks for cover)

I would hope the devs would kindly take this into consideration. There have been many threads on this, but perhaps Gaile can pass this along so that it could be thought about and possibly considered for some work in the future.

Azsune.7946:

With all the extra healing don’t know why you wouldn’t run with blood magic to get the extra bit of healing and traits that benefit from healing. Also I’m not a fan of foot in the grave.

The runes of condition duration with a random sinister off hand dagger seems a bit weird to me. I’m guessing its for the jagged on a 60 second cooldown. Would of picked something healing related to fit the gear. Also maybe a warhorn or a focus with the axe.

The thing that bothers me the most is nothing you picked in utilities and traits benefits from all the healing you have.

I wouldn’t run healing myself on a necro. I feel we lack any short cool down decent heal and can’t really keep up Regen on a group. But if you have fun running around with it just do it.

Good points…and I think I may have left out some details that are important.

The Sinister dagger was a complete miss-click on my part…its a Zerker Dagger. Foot-in-the-Grave is situational. I seemed to get targeted and locked down by those darn Morderd Archers, so the stun break comes in handy. Situationally, I use all 3 GM Traits in Soul Reaping in one way or another.

I run a full Clerics rig currently, as you will see below. I don’t worry too much about Vitality since I have a pretty big pool to start, and the vampiric stuff keeps me at 75-80% Health even in big fights with multiple enemies. That is also why, however, that If I switched armor to Zealots I would keep the Cleric rings, earrings, etc. to help keep the Toughness.

Here is my current, non-Reaper loadout:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAW3djM0QTN2WDW2A7NOmGK6McDbqcAKgAY2yXQFA-TBTDwAZVegT9HAPAgb7PASzQBTcHOCAOuAAp0B84gA0QJ4RlYAA-e

Pros:
- I rarely…and I do mean Rarely…have to recast any minions. The healing output is great for keeping them alive to deal direct dps while I support with Marks form the Staff.
- Often times I move in for a little up-close engagement, when it makes sense or when a group is focused on my minions, with the Axe/Focus, then flip to Shroud for Tainted Shackles followed by a Dark Path and Transfusion.
- With Blood Magic the Life Steal is massive, and the heals I lay out to allies in big fights(not just minions) is quite noticeable.
- Minion Management is much better now that the AI has been improved(could still use a bit more, but I am content for now).
- I love the Shadow Fiend…lots of people don’t…and I understand the trade off…but that Blind has pulled my fat out of the fire more than once in a boss fight.
- I rarely get taken down…with so much life-steal and healing…and tanking in Shroud…my MM is a beast.
- I can go into Shroud almost at will as my Lifeforce refills faster than the skills recharge.

Cons:
- I have to give up a minion for the Signet to get the movement boost…I so wish they would put a movement boost on a trait…but, that’s the hand I have been dealt, and I am dealing with it.
- Not using Reaper gives up “Rise” and Reaper is a better direct dps beast.

Switching to Reaper opens up some interesting options…the only drawback I have found is, IF I use Soul Reaping to keep lifeforce generation high, I lose all the vampiric qualitied of my minions.

Keep the Vampiric, and it seems like it takes FOREVER to build Lifeforce back up.

This is my proposed Reaper config(with Dagger corrected)…and these are my thoughts:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAW3YnM0AdbiN1Au1As3glpBL+DmCfhSDgCQAY6BcBqAA-TBTDABOcBAe4gAcz+DA8AAARzAoq/klyjDOCAFYiLFdAHpErBlgAA-e

Pros
- Using Reaper gives me “Rise!”, which allows me to make quite the mess when engaging with groups of enemies. Death Nova ends up making a HUGE Poison area that can really add up in larger fights.
- Reaper is more of a direct DPS Beast, which is why I would swap out to Zealot to punch up the Damage in power and precision. As most DPS is coming from the Minions anyway.
- Reaper also gives me “Decimate Defenses” which plays on the vulnerability stacked by the Axe and makes crits all the more likely for proccing the Air Signet.

Cons
- Have to give up Signet for speed boost to get “Rise!” on the bar, so dagger is a must, making Blood Magic a must, to get the movement boost from Quickening Thirst. Forcing the loss of more efficient Lifeforce generation.

Its tough trying to find a good balance for this.

I appreciate the thoughts and input. Its helping me think through things as well.

Not set in stone, and haven’t even started to craft it yet.

Currently I run an old-school Non-Reaper/Cleric’s Gear MM…almost un-killable in PvE unless I get swarmed.

With the addition of Reaper…I’d like to get some thoughts and input on the pro’s and con’s of possibly swapping to Zealot’s Armor. It ups the power, but lower’s the healing of the minions…now I could swap out Soul Reaping for Blood and get back to vampiric minions…but that slowed the Lifeforce generation down a TON…so I’m on the fence.

This is what the build looks like currently, with Cleric Armor changed to Zealot. The rest is what I currently run…only Armor changed. (I am open to Rune changes…as I have considered Pack…but suggestions there are welcome as well.)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAW3YnM0AdbiN1Au1As3glpBL+DmCfhUzgbQKQaAUACAA-TRTDABNoEEU1fO4IAUsGBQ0EklyjjUidz+DFYiDgHAgDXAgU0B8wBBAA-e

Using Reaper for addition of “Rise!” Most minions so far: 15

Thanks for input and ideas.

Here are my additions, they pretty much describe themselves…but just in case:
1. Steam Punk Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Engi)
2. Green Arrow (Ranger)
3. Santa (Uses Toy Weapons and Toy Bag Backpack)(Mesmer)

I’ll get some better pics and update the post.

You better watch out…you better not cry…

(IGN) Santa Odin is here to make you’re Wintersday, and all the days, bright!
(Sorry the pic with the tree is a little washed out…that tree is BRIGHT! )

Here is what I run without Reaper:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRIQNAW3djM0QTNWZDu1A7NOmGK6MsDpwslvgKQOAFQAA-ThSDABOcBAUVJ4RKxyS5BIaGwR9HAeAA3s/QK6AKwEHA-e
I am not sure what sigils(at work and can’t check) I have on the Axe/Focus…but they are more damage focused sigils.
This build is almost untouchable…only the strongest bosses even make a dent…the healing and life steal is so heavy that i rarely ever have to recast a minion and only on major spikes do I drop below 50% health.

This is the Reaper setup I use:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRIQNAW3YnMbCdbiN1Au1As3glpBb6BcBqASDgCQAI+DWCfhA-TxiEABkoDgKlHlqEcDNDCpEDhjAQCXAABOIAys/wmq/AwDAMxBA-e
Same Accessories…Same Staff but swapping Life sigil to Demon Summoning(its personal choice for fun). I am in process of making to Zealot Armor, Lich Runes(although Pack are a solid alternate choice as mentioned in a previous post). I use Axe and Dagger for swap here, for the movement boost we lose from giving up Signet of Locust.

The biggest missed thing about playing an effectove MM…is Minion Control. We have little control…grnated…but by selecting targets and moving your minions around the field of batel…and using the blinds, charge, etc effectively can make a HUGE difference.

There are lots of good options to explore with a MM using reaper or not…its all I have ever played(tried the other styles and just didn’t like them for myself). Experiment, try weird combos and see what happens…you will be surprised. Have Fun!

The threads like this one, specifically the OP…not the people refuting the OP…and there are several threads complaining(sigh)…just show me how much the people who are complaining DON’T know about this game.

Well said…kudos to you, good sir. On a forum where many complain, its always refreshing to see a positive post. I’m sure the Devs appreciate it as well.

they need to add a 3X to the T-Shirts…big guys need bigger shirts…I’m built more like an actual Norn(just shorter)…bigger shirts are far more comfortable.

I don’t like looking like “big guy in a little coat”…lol

The Flesh Golem has no sense of direction.

Now, don’t get me wrong…I am a die-hard MM player…so this is not a bash…its a request for a small adjustment.

To play MM effectively, IMO, you must utilize the commands for the minions. In this case, the ‘Charge’ for Felsh Golem. I often target a mob farther back so my Golem can run through other mobs causing as much chaos as possible on his way to his target.

Here is the kicker…I can just finish with a mob…target a new one, and the other minions head for it…but, when i hit charge, the Golem takes off in the last direction he was facing. He doesn’t seem to pick up on the targeting or change facing like the other minions do when I pick my new target. He seems to hesitate as if he is lost or confused as to what is happening.

Can we get a small tweak to the Flesh Golem, so he doesn’t charge off in random directions during a fight if he happens to be facing the wrong way when the ‘Charge’ command is used? Let his facing change based on players target before he goes trundling away…so he can hit the intended target…and not have to run back to engage after he runs off and then, “ummm…where is everyone?” and runs back to the actual fight.

Please? Thanks.

Interesting concept.

Could you go through a typical fight rotation?

Looking forward to those vids to see how it works.

Donari.5237:

Careful there, Gaile has asked people not to double dip in the well here.

I did everything for Bolt myself, save 19 Ectos that someone gave me in the last 5 seconds. Does that even count?

And that’s cool…just make sure you share that kind of info…:)

I have 2 posts here that I have asked for specific things on…both are for 1 speciifc item on each that will take a long *$%# time to get if I gather/farm them myself(I am a very casual player), which I still do(reminds me I need to update each of those posts with current numbers).(Updates posted)

The key there is I was very specific on what I was requesting help with…a single mat(charged lodestones for Mjolnir, and winter drinks to help me get Winter’s Presence. Everything else for each thing I have done myself…lol…just working on those last steps.

So just be as forthcoming with info and updates as possible so people don’t feel you’re abusing the thread. We don’t want to risk losing the thread again.

Right…I had heard that…but since they had the preview code, I was still hoping we would get them for our toons as well…:) I hadn’t read anything for sure that they were NPC only.

A while back, that_shaman data mined skins for a Katana(single hand sword skin for our game) and Wakizashi(dagger skin for our game).

I did search the forum and found no threads with those names in the title, so please forgive me if I have missed posts about these from before.

Do we have any info on possibly when or even IF these are going to be made live in the game?

Gaile? Please?

Just a “they are still planned to be added into the live game” is good enough for me…I don’t even care when it happens, as I am patient. I’d just like to know if I should still look forward to them, or just give up hope that they will be added…I was really hoping to have them since I do have Belinda’s GS (Odachi/GS Skin for GW2).

I know it may have been asked numerous times…I’d just really like to know.

Thanks.

Good for you! GO YOU!!!

We did get Chaos Skins(BL Ticket items)…so that’s at least “something”…I do enjoy having my Chaos Axe back again…:)

But…Stormbow…sniff

:)

Felahr.9830:

You are so right. At this point Im even closer and Im like screaming at how bad I want my Bolt lol. My checklist is:
Edited:
Nothing! Bolt is done

Congrats! Sorry, I missed on the chance to help you out. Glad others did!

This is what this thread is about…its good to see a successful result posted. Thanks for sharing your success! Please remember to update your OP with your completed status so people don’t keep sending you mats before reading down further in the thread.

Stormbow and Draconic Aegis…

I’m a llittle choked up right now…missing my 2 favorite weapons from GW1…:(

I made a post about a year ago suggesting a way(obviously open to change of course, whatever the devs would need to do to make it work) to make a Stormbow using graphic elements that already exist in the game.

Here’s a link if you’re interested to read it: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-Revised-Making-a-Stormbow-post/first#post4980499

Felahr.9830:

This is all I need to finish Bolt. any donations of mats or gold is very very appreciated. Getting down to the wire so Im super excited
http://i.imgur.com/Hkgvprb.jpg

I like the graphic, but please update in the thread as to what you have/need:
EX:
Bloodstone Dust: 150/300(like anyone ever needs bloodstone dust…lol)

That helps those of us who only make it on once or twice a week, but would still like to help, to see what you have received so we give you the best help possible.

I’d regret giving you things you don’t need and miss out on giving things to people who do need them.

Thanks!

These are brilliant…lol

Gaile? Gaile? Please share with the devs…lol

I loved Kilroy as a character for all the trouble he could get us into…as a Rev Legend or a Mist Champion…it would be EPIC!!! (I’m actually leaning more toward Mist Champ…that could just be loads of fun him running around yelling his name and aggroing everything under the sun…lol)

:)

Please.

In the name of all that’s holy…in the name of the Six…to honor the Spirits of the Norn…as a necessary part of the Eternal Alchemy…as a valiant protector of the Dream…to defend the independence of the Charr…

Make this a reality!(But with legit skills…:) )

Killroy Stonekin is a Legend among Legends.

You opened the door…now, lets get this thing made into a reality!

FOR KILLROY!!!!

Leaa.2943:

You can not enter guildhalls either i think nor use the crafting profession scribing.

Just a small correction…You can enter the GHs once claimed, you just cannot take part in claiming them. One of my guildies has a child who does not have HoT(they don’t play enough to worry about it), but they can enter our GH. They can even contribute things for the upgrades. (Notes on wiki page for GHs confirms: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_hall )

I’m not sure about the Scribing part.

All of original game is there, as has been said. Usually more traffic in lower level areas thanks to dailies, achievements, and people working on collections.

Explore, explore, explore…and enjoy!

Hello All!
I am a pvper and I am working on my Ascension Wings! ATM I am working on gift of fortune and could really use t6 mats!

If anyone has any to spare I would much appreciate it!

Thanks

It would be great if you could specify what T6 Mats you need?
To avoid getting Mats you don’t actually need.

Bloody.2089:

Hey guys,

I just wanted to say that we have a little problem with mystic coins. There is not a rly good way to get and all ppl need them very much. Would be nice if Anet insert a better way to receive mystic coins. I think they forgot to think about the need and the way to get them.

Ofc you can buy them in trading post but a long time before you earned them with the dailies and had enough of them for your own need. Now it is a problem if you take a look on the price because you cannot get them in a fair way.

Does any1 agree?

I am lucky…i have an abundance of Mystic Coins built up form them previously being in the daily rewards. But I understand the need and lower acquisition rate being an issue for those just getting started in the game.

Perhaps just adding 1 Mystic coin back into each Daily Reward Chests, not including the gathering Dailies Chests. (Not just having them in the Mystic Forge Daily Reward Chest), or perhaps that would help those who need to build up some Coins.

Just a thought.

Mahaedros.7085:

1) what are the best ways to do this? I was thinking I could buy it online with my credit card and then give him the HoT key so he could download it.

Perfect. I did this myself. I just forwarded the email with the code to the friend I purchased this for as a gift.

2) anything that I don’t know about that could cause problems? I don’t want to spend the money and do something wrong so he couldn’t add HoT to his own current GW2 account…

Nope…just pay for it, and get him the code. As long as you do not activate it on your account, he will be bale to activate it on his.

3) I hear people say you can find authorized retailers that sell HoT for less than $49. Haven’t found any when I looked today. Would be great to get it for $35

I have heard the same thing, but never seen any myself.

Support can reassure you of the method to do this. Just open a ticket and tell them you want to give HoT as a gift, and list your friend’s account in the ticket. They will give you the details on how to do this. It can also help if you have an issue and can reference a ticket you already have open.

Good luck!

Hello,

This thread disappeared for a short while. I’m checking with the moderation team to find out if a concern arose that prompted its removal, but I don’t see a thing wrong with it, so I have placed or replaced it here in the Players Helping Players Sub-forum. If we need to close it for some unforeseen reason, I will post to keep y’all informed.

A few notes:

• The Players Helping Players area is the proper sub-forum for this project, so please don’t ask us to move it to another sub-forum, or post in another sub-forum about this project.
• This is a very nice initiative, but I would suggest that those who are gift recipients not “go back to the well” repeatedly. “Thanks for the gift(s), please give me more” is a little OTT, doncha think?
• What would be super sweet is to see this become a sharing project on a reciprocal level. For instance, someone sends you some dyes you’re seeking, and you turn around and offer someone else a few mats. That sort of thing is the best level of community generosity and we love to see it!
• Remember that this is a player-driven project, so if there are issues, they need to be settled between the two parties directly. I truly do not foresee issues arising, but it’s just a good thing to be aware that CS or other folks couldn’t get involved in mediation, should the need arise.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for restoring this Gaile!

I was also a fan of this thread and saw it as more of a reciprocity opportunity. I received some mats, which I have expressed my gratefulness for, and I look forward to continuing to help others with in-game things like Mats or helping with getting achievements that provide certain rewards a player may need for a collection.

To me, this kind of atmosphere is what this game has been about, all the way back to GW1.

That’s what I was afraid of…some recent posts also got kind of nasty as well accusing people of being lazy and all that jazz.

I only focused on helping folks out with specific mats they were using for crafting…things that could be gotten in game…and only asked for the same…I asked for the mat i am collecting because it takes FOREVER to get drops and they are way expensive on TP…lol

I think some people got carried away with asking for Gem Store stuff…that could have been an issue as well.

I was always sure to thank, and I always received thanks…it was a good thread.

Sad to see it go…thanks for the input all…maybe we’ll get he thread starter to come in and let us know what happened. But then again…maybe not…

Luck to all…

I’m just curious.

I helped out several people with mats for crafting via that thread and received help getting some mats form others.

Again, just curious.

Sad it had to be removed.
