Guild Wars 2

I would say to do this as well but for influence + merits and depending on the size of the guild.

Guilds with less then 10 members can change the name for 50.000 influence (wich is a steep but doable price).

Guilds with 10-50 members need 25 merits + 50.000 inlfuence.

Guilds with 50-100 members need 50 merits + 50.000 influence

Guilds 100-250 members need 100 merits + 50.000 influence

Guild with 250-500 members need 500 merits + 50.000 influence

This asures you that a guild that wants to change can change if, a good portion of the members wants it and is willing to put in effort to succeed.

The problem I have with suggestions like this is that I dislike the way a game like WoW is created. I dislike the graphics and the whole keep people addicted attitude. I prefer the GW-franchise big time. However I see how former wow-players are really being tampered to become a gw2 player (wich is awesome btw). But this is allready making me as a GW1 lover somewhat annoyed, and the balance between pleasing a new player base (WoW or LOTRO, or SWTOR, or any other game) and pleasing your loyal day one fans is allready a bit wrong. So I’m against any suggestion that makes this game more like WoW and less like GW.

I also distance myself from your remark as if I always bring WoW up. If you go through my messages you will see that I talk bout that game in bout 1% of all my posts on this forum.

There has been some changes to orr that makes it less interesting to farm there. This basicly destroyed the interest in that entire area and I think that Arenanet should think again bout these changes and the impact it has on this game.

When you block someone you block all map and local chat messages as well as pm’s from that person.

It does not block messages in chatchannels you can leave yourself. This include guildchat, partychat and squadchat.

In case of guildchat I must say that is a bit of annoying.

You can have the skin only applied to one weapon. When transmutating you actually combine technical segments of 2 weapons (looks, stats, upgrade). Both donor weapons are destroyed in the progress.

So if you want the skin two times you need two tickets.

This database is made from dat-file mining. This means this back item exists in the dat-file of the game. This doesnt mean it really exists in the game. This backpiece was very likely developped during beta, but they decided to keep it out of the game.

Why do you want to be competitive on the ranking?? Just enjoy the game, the ranking has no purpose.

There is a nice game called World of Warcraft if you want a game where time investment decides how good you are instead of gaming skills. This game you are good cause you are good at the game, not because you grinded for hours and hours and hours.

If you like grinding you can get the legendary skin and show off. But it shouldnt make you a better player period.

Mist Y.5214:

They should just merge servers in PvE tbh. In the beta and just after release we had a lot more fun with heavily populated areas, and being put into an overflow because the map was full was never a problem. It felt great to be around other players, and now the game feels dead even though there are probably hundreds of others in the same area, just on different servers.
Unfortunately your suggestion would result in an annoying pop-up appearing when your zone reaches an artificial arbitrarily low population. I prefer this guy’s solution: http://youtu.be/XMEq4PAFmnI?t=17m48s – the relevant section of the video is about 4 mins long. If you don’t wanna watch it, here’s the tl;dw: merge all the servers in PvE, and only create overflows when the map actually fills up. A simple algorithm automatically throws you into the appropriate overflow, and you can choose to manually switch to another if you want. This also allows for more advanced options like different versions of the same area, depending on how far your personal story has advanced.

In MMO’s merging servers is something not done. It is seen by the community and by the press that you are doing badly. So company’s keep servers running even when there are less then 100 players actually active. That is why the system of the OP is such a good one. It saves the hassle and bad advertising that comes with deleting or merging servers and still solves the problem very well.

+1 to the OP.
Though I do wonder where the name comes from

You can just go to https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ and click ask a question. You fill in the form and you have done it.

The support account log in is only needed to track your ticket online. But either way you will get an email with a reaction from them and you can reply to that email if needed.

When the game started there where many references for 6 dragons:
The research in the reactor in Metrica provence
The scrolls in Orr
The ancient city of arah path 1
And most off all the design of CoE where in the different corners research for all known elder dragons is done.

From the skills of project Alpha we found a possible name: Mordremoth and later in an interview Arenanet confirmed the existance of a jungle dragon.

At the moment there is no indication what so ever that there is a 7th elder dragon. You have to keep in mind that studying lore means you are studying what Arenanet’s writers are comming up with. So as long as they are not giving any hints bout a 7th dragon we can only speculate on if they ever are going to write bout it. I personally doubt they have plans for a 7th dragon.

You cannot enter WvW untill the matches have been reset (and maps have rotated). This is done to prevent matchfixing.

Guilds and guildsmembership is across server. So it doesnt change anything and you keep being a member. However the influence and services provided by the guild are bound to a server. So if you move to a server your guild has no members, you will be in a guild with 0 influence and no upgrades like guildbank.

Well I havent left and I dont think it is repetitive. And I think all people here will have the same feeling cause we play the game. Maybe you should try to explain what you where doing and why you felt it was repetitive.

There is high level stuff like legendary weapons that needs you to farm alot. Arenanet is, for reasons I dont understand, trying to destroy these farming methods one by one. This means off course less repetitiveness.

Besides that they are being more active on the living story as before. This temporary content is changing all the time, starting this tuesday a new chapter will start. Cause you missed the last chapter, feel free to read the wiki to fill you in http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ceremony_and_Acrimony

(use the table on the top right to go to the followed by story to see them all)

I have guildmates in eu from south africa as well. Distance itself is never the issue. To avoid problems Arenanet wants to avoid too many people playing over internet continental lines, but going over a continental line isn’t responsable for lag issues.

My advise is to not ask here but in the tech support section. Also make sure you name thei japanese ISP (use japanese characters if needed. This was people in the same boat as you can advise you.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

mercury ranique.2170:

Yip you are truly narrow minded, what a pitty, well there are more lost souls, lucky that most people are more then you. I guess your name (white and milky) is also a hidden remark on how you treat people who are different. Ah well your loss

So you caring about pve and not wvw isn’t narrow minded? What a hypocrite. As for the comment on my name… well… I have no response because it doesn’t make sense. Are you calling me a racist?

Esplen.3940:

Esplen.3940:

You could also do it in WvW to stop someone from being able to stomp you unless they had you targeted.

Re-iterating why it was hotpatched in, namely because this thread relates to WvW, yet everyones ignoring this point.

Ignoring it because it doesn’t matter. No one is preventing themselves from dying by laying on the ground spamming investigation kits. If that stops you from killing someone…. #1 why didn’t you have them targeted? and #2 just beat them up on the ground. I personally would have laughed if I saw someone do it, but I play endless hours of wvw everyday and didn’t see it happen once.

Yip you laugh bout others and dont have any respect to them. It is curtuous you tried to come up for your WvW friends, I give you that, but the way you are showing your other nature after that makes you less then a cave troll.

Then you have to file a support ticket at https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ (ask a question). they will answer you in private bout whatever it is

Astral Projections.7320:

Maybe I’m being exceptionally naive but I can’t think of anything wrong with Radomir Zlatan Lol. I googled Radomir and Zlatan and found them to be common names and Radomir Zlatan didn’t pull up anyone famous that would trigger a ban. Lol is perfectly inoffensive. Soooo Idk. I am curious what Gaile Gray will say now. Maybe it’s just a mistake. That as happened before. A guy with character name Grey was told to chosen his name and it turned out to be a mistake.

Be sure to post your ticket number. That’s important.

My point of view on the matter is that a GM has suspended this person cause of his character name(wich we have to believe his word on what it was). The support liason has given a respons different then her usual respons. This gives me the feeling she wants to deal with this through a support ticket. silent and maybe without giving us bystanders any feedback of the outcome.

My suggestion bout this thread. let the OP if needed post his ticketnumber and give it a rest. enough has been said and it might be time for diplomacy to kick in

ah thank you. Sorry I cant help you in game cause im on eu-servers. I remember it now though.

If I remember it right the big mistake you can make is to concentrate on the avatar. The best thing is to use the npc’s to tank him and avoid him yourself and focus on the adds. When you got the avatar all alone he is rather easy.

hmmmm, first off all, if you are in eu district im happy to help you out. Second off all, i’ve searched the wiki bit dont know wich story bit your talking bout, could you please tell me the name of the personal story??

gold is more a mechanic then a part of lore. As for inflation there is a reasonable explanation to be given. The xunlai agency had the magic master chest containing all the valuables off all the xunlai chests in the world in their HQ in Kaineng center. it is even visable through the gate there. So as to why gold is now so much more worth and platinum isnt considered in normal trading.. Well I think that it is cause Cantha and so the master chest is cut off from us. wether or not that is going to hold on IF we ever visit cantha in gw2 is unknown.

But for the rest, the market system is difficult enough without using lore to explain it properly.

looks like a mix, the dvd, being brought out wasn’t complete cause they kept working after the dvd’s where shipped. The total game is over 14 GB big on release and there has been some patches in the past. To paly the game you need to get them all.

If you are on a restricted line (not being able to download that much), you might want to get i ntouch with someon in real life, copy from the game folder the file gw2.dat on a usb-drive, and then bring it to the same folder on your computer. It saves the time needed to download. Keep in mind you need to format the usb-drive to ntfs to be able to store the file and it has to be a big stick (over 16GB).

There has been a lot of debate bout this some (in my opinion) delusional minds put it that a pale tree is a dragon champion, and only the ventari tablet is keeping the dream clear.

My personal theory is that this has to do with mordremoth. But might be wrong as pinky when he though he knew what the brain wanted to do tonight.

Firts off all, we know that the seed of the pale tree we know came from a cave that was filled with other seeds. So it is likely this other tree came from that cave.

We know that it is likely that mordremoth (the 6th elder dragon) is located in the maguuma wastes (former maguuma jungle). We also know that the river that brought Malyck’s pot brought him from that direction.

We haven’t seen any mordremoth minions so far or havent noticed them. We also know that the sylvari dont get turned into minions by elder dragons.

Now my fictional way to putting it all together
My idea is that this comes from the fact that they are always and ever connected to the mother tree, even after they leave their pod, this is done through the dream off course. So to corrupt a sylvari you need to corrupt the mother tree (that might also explain why caledon forest is the only starter area with risen invaders).

I think Malycks tree is corrupted by Mordremoth and he is secretly building his army. using the mother tree as his breeding machine. this tree’s dream is nightmare beyond comprehension. All existing trees influence each other and the nightmare in the pale trees dream is caused by this link and only a hint bout how different the bigger nightmare in that tree is.

This link however also cause a bit of hope in the nightmare of the other tree and causes a bit of hope and rebellion against that corruption.

This part of that tree created a pod she shielded from her own dream/nightmare) and dropped it in the river, hoping it would tell others of her existence and stop her army before it grows too big. That was off course Mallyck.

Off course this is all theory crafting and I can be very wrong. But somehow I do feel that his tale will be explained when the mordemoth story unfold.

DeWolfe.2174:

agree’d! And, I thought we suggested this as soon as we saw them in Southsun? I guess they don’t read the forums that much

They do read the forums and they say they try to read every suggestion. (wich I can’t even do and I spend way too much time here).

The last thread about this had some pro’s and cons due to the nature how it was stated. If it is called summer look as in here it has my +1

But both Radomir and Zlatan are very common slavic names. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is afamous footballplayer (swedish but with Slavic roots/and I mean european football), Radomir is also a well used given name in Slavic culture. So I’m also a bit confused if this is the full name and the reason for the name change. Hence my advise to file that support ticket.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

mercury ranique.2170:

Yip definitly minus 1, specially for asuming that WvWvW is the only thing that matters. Most parts oft his community is very friendly and understanding to each other, and also to the fact that some people have different interests and priority’s then your own. I am truly sorry that you are so narrow minded. I think you deserve to be more.

You assume that I assume WvW is all that matters. “When you assume….” I’ve probably done more PvE than you and your friends combined.

Reset night is a big deal for WvW. But I guess it is more important to kick every single person out of wvw and reset them in a 1-2 hour que than to have lions arch be a little bit laggy for people playing on lite brites. This is simply one example of arenanet doing this, not the only.

Yip “definitly” minus 1.

Yip you are truly narrow minded, what a pitty, well there are more lost souls, lucky that most people are more then you. I guess your name (white and milky) is also a hidden remark on how you treat people who are different. Ah well your loss

Hey hey, I called it a possible lighthouse, not ….well that other guy. It looks a bit as a lighthouse to me and it looks more krytan then Orrian.

there is indeed a lot of volcanic activity and the island seems a lot smaller on the old (foggy) maps in GW1 and GW2

Asmodaus.1028:

mercury ranique.2170:

Asmodaus.1028:

Did you get the new POI in Divinities Reach for Dragon Bash?

You dont need newly added POI’s if you got the map completed before the POI was added.

But the OP doesnt have 100pct map completion, so he needs the new added POI. He is at 95% atm

The change that he actually miss the chantry of secrets one wich is bugged or any other he missed going round is higher then missing the one added last. I appreciate it your trying to help, but your now only making it confusing, there is lesser change he is missing that one then he is missing a PoI that is allready in the game. The reason is that there is a very high change the OP had 100% on divinity reach before it was added and so he doesnt need it at all.

Asmodaus.1028:

Did you get the new POI in Divinities Reach for Dragon Bash?

You dont need newly added POI’s if you got the map completed before the POI was added.

hmmm, I like the looks and I have put them on my norn (where they obviously show bigger then on a human, cause norn are bigger) and I notice how they also tend to block the view

hoegarden.4287:

So binding 1 key to 5 other keys and then press all 5 at the same time is allowed ?

Yes that is totally allowed, unless off course the action is on a cooldown (wich almost all actions are) then you can press as many keys as you want but you still have to wait for cooldown.

Aerinndis.2730:

Did you get Forsaken Halls in Dredgehaunt Cliffs? That was one I missed when I was doing them.

There is no PoI in forsaken halls and forsaken halls have not to be visited for 100% map completion. It is only needed for the unrelated shiverpeak explorer achievement (unfogging all area’s i nthe shiverpeaks)

Yes you need to complete all 301 hearts. It looks like you have one or two maps where you never have been. These are indicated with used a requered level number in a foggy area.

Have you revisted the chantry of secrets AFTER you did everything else??. The game tends to forget you have been there.

there was a recent post bout making a fractal specifick salvage kit. I am personally against it so I offered one that works for everything (including fractal drops) thats high level.

I do think thatfor any high level drop or item you cant use you should have a way of salvaging it to something important (in the post I mentioned it was for cores and lodestones)

I want to ask you to make screenshots when your minimap is detailed (it’s zoomed out atm) and has north facing north.

I have tried my best to use this map http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/db/Fields_of_Ruin_map.jpg to find where you actually are but without any luck. The reason I want to know is cause the npc’s dont go with you the full battle, they rather stand back while you do all the work and porogress when a step of the story is done. The event status is indicating you are currently not in Foulbear Kraal and it might be that you jsut have to go in and do the required killing.

The devs would like to know where you are to in a way to reproduce the bug.

Biondo.2570:

Why fractals drop is account bound?!
Make it sellable, at least at higher levels!
What’s the point of make it account bound ?

Cause they want things in the game something you deserved and not something you bought.

The other reason has to do with the agony resistance. You need to work for it to get it and not buy your way there.

We have enough wannabe show-offs in WvW ruining things with a commander title they got from spending reall money or kiddo’s running around with a legendary sword who dont even know how to play this game.

On a per item basis there is good reason to have a discussion bout it. I think it is important to discuss a way of making some lesser use of items you dont need yourself, but making it not account bound isn’t the solution in my opinion.

tigirius.9014:

I would so support this one.

I would also like to request that they make the salvage kits stack to 100.

You can make mystic salvage kits wich is the same quality of a master salvage kit but has 250 uses. Cause you need mystic stones from the gemstore it is very unlikely that arenanet will do anything that gives you the same thing for free.

If your interested in buying these instead of the master salvage kit, they are cheaper/usage then the master salvage kit if you purchase the gems when the price for 100 gems is below 2 gold and 94 silver and you buy the mystic stones per 10.

More info bout them here

For entering CoE and CoF you can simply guest.

Jade Quarry is scoring high on WvWvW. This means it is likely a very active wvwvw world, but that means often that PvE is deserted.

Sea of Sorrows is considered to be the unofficial ocenanic server, so if you are for e.g. in Northern America you will find it pretty deserted indeed in your timeframe.

I personally play in europe, so I cant give you solid advise.

JinAtonic.2781:

Anyway guys, i tried out the sceptor and it has gotten me through the quests, even thogh it is a bit boring just sending slow missiles lol

Very true, scepter is rather boring, thats why i recommend to use in the swap weapon slot.

As I said before, I have a total of 8 things I can do to keep myself alive (as a level 80 guardian). First is my healing skill, then I have two shouts that gives me protective boons (and I use a trait so they also remove a condition). Furthermore I have 2 virtues (f2 and f3) that give me health back or give me retaliation. then my elite skill makes me invulnarable for a few seconds (wich buys me extra time as well) and recharges my virtues for another 2 protections.

If that all is done and my skills and virtues are all on cooldown I can switch to my scepter/shield using the weaponswap button to get more space to move around and keep my distance from the heaviest damage.

Off course when you start out you dont have that much protection yet, and you might decide to skill a bit more to the offensive, so then you will find yourself more often in ranged. I totally agree ranged is boring, but it does the job when needed (slowly).

I have a totally different question. Have you done what Gaile Gray asked you to do?? File a support ticket.

She has your account name, and in many case like this she allready looked up what charactername in question is. I have seen many threads like this where she just react something like:

It seems that we get a few of these daily. Usually, “I meant it a different way,” or “I had no idea that [reallybadname] was really bad,” or “That’s not offensive at all!”
The name is not acceptable; it’s that simple. Looking at your account history, I simply offer that for names and in-game chat, please, choose wisely.

The fact that she is giving you a different kind of reaction might indicate that she has a different respons to you in mind, but needs a ticket to do so.

It also can never hurt to post your ticket number in this thread.

good luck!

I understand you are upset, but support has investigated however, as they have stated many times, they are unable to create things out of thin air on the live servers. So when it comes to laurels or jugs of Karma they can’t do a thing.

So where they agree it is a bug and not your fault they dont have the tools to give you these rewards. You can ask the suppurt liason to have a second look, but she has no different tools then support has. She can ask again for you if there really is not a way around, but if the answer is truly no, I’m afraid it will stay no.

If you want to ask her to look into it she will likely need your 12 digit ticket number.

Good Luck!

If you are absolutly sure you selected the right world and ended up on the wrong one, you can contact support. Go to https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ and ask a question.

I think it is very unlikely cause this bug is not documented here or on the game bugs section or in the mac-lient section. So I have to ask you the question if it might be so that you accidently misclicked when selecting your world. Keep in mind that support keeps records of everything you click and do. So they will see and just close the ticket if you did.

You can always change your world for free by deleting all characters. Any item that isnt soulbound can be stored in the bank

You can change your emailadress by contacting support. To keep your security ok, it is a manual proces so a real person checks if it is really you.

More info on how to file a support ticket can be found in this sticky

Donari.5237:

Oh, also, doing damage is great but not the prime concern! Surviving matters more, imo. My guardian generally does a tenth the damage of others around her, but nothing keeps her down long and she not only buffs and heals allies so -they- can do the damage, she wears away the opposition over time.

True ,

When I was to the store I was thinking to add that too. when it comes to your utility skills (7,8 and 9) you should imo use ti to make yourself and the people around you more protected. My build with all skills unlocked prefers to use shouts as skill 7 and 8, a damage skill at 9 and again an elite skill thats primarly for protection.

chnet.1832:

Ok. That makes sense. I misread.

And also, when doing refinement of materials, it’ll be great if the items can automatically go into “collections” too. We normally will do so anyway, but sometimes when we forget, we have lots of materials in bags.

No problem,

I disagree with the materials. when farming e.g. tier 6 mats I would like to know how many I’m getting over time in a specifick session.

The introduction of this map is called lost shores. As I understood it, this island was so close to Orr it was considered dangerous to go there. After the defeat of Zhaitan the Karka where driven from the deep sea by another danger (Deep sea dragon?) to these shores. The Consortium also re-discovered the area and enraged the Karka, wich led to a karka invasion on Lion’s Arch. When investigating the origin the lost shores where unlost to everyone and became accessible.

The ships scatthered over the islands are likely shipwrecks from storms or tidalwaves (possible the one cause by Zhaitan when he woke up).

The island itself however has always been there. The ruins you are talking bout look like a krytan outpost and given the structure possible a early lighthouse, where on the top a fire was being lid at night to warn ships bout the landmass.

As you mentioned, you are on a storyline where you are attacked by level 8 bats. This means you are prolly on a level 8 or 9 storyline.

As being mentioned nearly everything in this game gives you experience to level. But it is impossible to get to level 80 by just doing storylines. So it is important to be atleast of the same level as your storyline indicates (and depending on your profession and the kind of enemy’s often its better to be 1 or 2 levels higher). In between storylines you have to do other things. Just doing hearts and events isn’t enough. You can mis this with other tasks like exploring towns, gathering materials and crafting, but also by chnaging area.

The main storyline remains that of the char (untill level 28, then they start to merge and other things then race is deciding what your storyline is. So my advise to leave the grove north to an area called caledon forrest and do hearts and events there till you are level 10, then return for your personal story and you can then also explore more of your own starter are (plains of ashford).

small trick bout finding your way on the central portal plaza in lions arch. Each portal is guarded by two guards of that race. So if you go to e.g. the human area and then want to return you need the portal guarded by the two char

Hi and welcome to the game.

I have a level 80 guardian and I have restarted many guardians to see the different cultural storylines.

The first mechanic in this game that is overlooked often is dodge. Dodging (and also simple moving around) can help you a lot when surviving.

The second thing that is important is that you know when you can fight close (more damage) and know when you have to back away (safer). At level 7 you got a second weaponslot. I would advise you to put in a ranged weapon (staff or scepter+shield or scepter+focus). when a fight gets tuff you can always back away.

The third thing is that you should be aware that when it comes to events that are above your level you can get in trouble more easy. e.g. the cave troll in Queesndale. Even with my level 80 guardian I have trouble to staying in close combat and I often have to back up to a ranged weapon.

Last of all, if you hit the problem that you can’t do things off your level or below, there is a trick for that. It is to change area.

You are in of the 5 starting area’s. This means you can change. To do this go to your home town, somewhere in the center you will find a purple portal. Go through it and you end up in Lion’s arch (the main town). You end up in a plaza with several other portals. Go through any of them and you come into the hometown of a different race. From there you can go to the starter are of that race with new low level hearts and events to do.

If you are on a european server feel free to add me to your friendslist. I’m happy to help you a bit on the way, show some tricks and give advise, and if needed even provide you with a bit of cash to get your armor repaired. I am prolly online in bout 90 minutes.

grayskull.2367:

There is something seriously wrong with my necro’s toughness

Ok what has happen to my necromancer i feel like im run a glass cannon 1000 though build I AM NOT! i have way other 2.6k toughness but no matter what i fight i am get smashed into the ground in like to hits by white mobs no less.
I used to be classed as a tanky build now i can’t survive being attacked by 2 mobs my toughness seams to not work at all "EG i don’t seem to have any, Im not the only one who has notice this other guildly have reported the same to me, they seem really squishy more squishy than they should be with toughness in the highs of 2.5k, 3k what is going on?

Has any other necromancer seen or experienced this as it make my main unplayable in PVE and dungeons as of now and dungeon are of the question i just can’t survive them anymore.

Can a GM please look into this problem as it’s not just my imagination.

It is against the forum rules to ask for a reaction of a arenanet employee. I also dont know what a GM has to do with this. A GM is responsable for what happens on live servers. This is something for devs. Devs do read these posts, but will not likely comment.

It is also against the forum rules to start multiple threads bout the same issue. You also posted this in the necromancer-section.

It is also important to say when this has started in your opinion.

Last off all, I do think it is your imagination. I have gone through the update notes from the last 4 months and there is nothing changed that can cause this. A fellow necromancer in the necromancer forum has tested this and confirms that toughness is working as designed. If it was so game breaking as you claim it is, there would be a really hot discussion allready here and in the nercomancer forum.

If you have questions why you die so often, feel free to use the necromancer forum or the players helping players forum. I am sure people are happy to help. do provide information like your level, your traits, your skills, your weapons and your stats.
