GW2 Threads

[moonchild]

OK, I have started GW2 and it is so very different.

I think other than a couple of times in WvW I have not been out with other TLS guildies. Should we be doing more 'guild' stuff , and if so, what?

My level 13 ranger is pretty rubbish but I am have some fun around the sylvari starting area. In this GW2 bit, could we have a WvW thread and something else maybe? I have not had huge amounts of time so far but I think there is so much more I could be doing.

I have absolutely no idea about armour etc as an example of my newb ignorance. Would it be good to try and get low levels together or no real point? And if so how?

Just a few ideas to throw at Kat and anyone else who knows about stuff.

Oh yes and I cannot get TS to work. Possibly a password issue but I am not sure.

We have plenty of ice atm, but no snow forecast for several days! What fun

A late reply to your comment, sorry but I haven't been very active on the forum for a while. Neither have I had much time to play.

but as far as the forum and new threads are concerned, it's a good idea, yes. However I am looking into the possibility of creating a new forum, more dedicated to gw2, with maybe some more functionality. I find it a bit difficult to customize this forum (the other one I'm testing seems to be easier to configure).

But whether we use this one or a new one, what categories would you like to have included?

I was thinking:
- Some useful websites/info
- General PVE, and with subsections such as for example, Need help with my storyline, jumping puzzles, location of chests, dungeons, fractals
- WvWvW and pvp
- Events (where we can organise dungeons runs or WvW events)

This is just a suggestion, let us know what you'd like to have there.

sounds good

Would be interesting to have things like character builds and traits etc.

Crafting - what is most useful at low level ( that's me! )
and what is better later on.

New forum, would still need the image thing etc but could be good.

great,

I was also looking into another forum.. but I had not gotten so far yet.. so I leave it to you
I think you named the most important stuff. One thing though would be a more public part where we can innroduce ourselves and where alos non members can leave messages? To help with recruiting..

thumbs up,

Busy waiting on a GW2 download so a good time to post my thoughts

I would like more Guild events - Most so far have been very much "ad-hoc". I also think I need to "sort out" my current situation where I have a set of headphones and no mike so that we can use some form of chat server.

Anyhoo - What do others think?

"I also think I need to "sort out" my current situation where I have a set of headphones and no mike so that we can use some form of chat server"

I have relatively cheap business/telephone type single ear head phone and mike, use that for the TS and then main speakers for the game sounds. Works really well for me.

I wanted one ear free so I could hear the kids creeping up to gank me.

I like Ad hoc stuff but agree would be nice to have some events to try and aim for. Would also be nice if we set up events, to have an idea of duration as well.

eg 7pm GMT, scary WvWvW dungeon of doom and despair, 3 lifetimes.

Then we know if we can get there and likely able to stay to the end.

Taibe's channel on the public TS server worked really well btw, thank you for setting that up.

Hi,

First of all I would like to say: We need more (active) ppl in the guild!! So we can do more events. Usually we have less then 5 ppl on. And for most events (except WvWvW and JP's)
we kinda need 5. So, pls have a look out for nice (guildless) ppl , and any ideas, suggestions you might have are very welcome.

But we do have at least one 'event' a week. Each sunday 7 ish CET (6 ish GMT) we will be doing dungeons. Let me know if this works out for you guys, we could make it 8 ish CET for example.

I also would like to do fractals (daily 10?) etc. ( again let me know if and when you might want to work on this).

And mayby jumping puzzles? Some ppl lave them, others hate them. But mayby we can plan an event so we can do most (or all) if ppl want? Although I am not a wizz at it, I prolly can help on my mesmer with her portal skill ( I did finish them all)

mayby we can do WvWvW sunday mornings? But I leave that to Tim and or Gregory, or whoever wants to do that

Cheers
Deepen/Taibe

Ok, now I have created some new threads in the GW2 section. Let me know if we need more, or if some should be removed or merged together. I have moved Deepen's post on Orichalum to the Gathering thread.

I will add some info in the general PvE section in a few days, with some websites I found for example. But feel free to fill it up with whatever information you have

Still looking on the new forum solution, this one is a bit of pain to customise, to be honest.

For me 7pm CET (i.e. 6pm UK time) is a bit early as the kids are not even thinking about going to sleep that that time. 8-9CET would be better, but don't change just on my account. (Like past weeks I can just tag along to the "second" event.

Anyone else got a massive download to chew through? I'm at 500mb and 5%...

(Although my ISP is not great)

That's probably the Flame and Frost update, the new content they were releasing on the 28th. And it looks like it was a massive update from the description on the wiki. No doubt that's why it takes so long.
I've started it too now, I'm at 190Mb, and it still shows 1%... at 600kb/sec. It's going to take all night...

And I am there now, hope this is going to be worth it, looks like the whole game is downloading again,
