You can do a diff server and still join the guild. (cross server guilds. lol)

oh that is weird ... guess I will join after work

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Server transfers are free for now so you can play on a different server and just keep trying to transfer over until someone else switches.

In regards to cooking, there are a number of farms that have multiple harvesting nodes (like 8-10) an example of this is in Beetlerun i know of 2 potato farms, 2 lettuce farms, and 3 strawberry farms. I first grab them in overflow and once ported over to main server you can re-farm them and at 40xp a harvest it adds up quickly

 

[diesbudt]

so i can have 1 char represent guild Y and another represent guild X?

Yes. This means you can only see the chat, and everything you do earns the guilds you represent influence.

WHich means.

If you make an alt, it will automatically be in the same guild as your first char. However it is not "represented", so if it leaves (with other char still representing that guild) it can join another (which it must represent).

Basically 1 guild max per char
Each char must seperatly represent a guild or collectively if all of them will be in the same guild.

Are Dyes one time uses?

Are Dyes one time uses?

No, they go into an inventory on your character screen and you can use them as many times as you want.

 

[diesbudt]

No, they go into an inventory on your character screen and you can use them as many times as you want.

But it is limited to character not account.

 

[Ashenor]

Also can anyone update my info in the sticky.

Ah nice thanks have not tried it out yet.

Having difficulty choosing a character..I want to get to level 80 one day...just had a kid so the addage of having "all of them" doesn't work.

Started Engineer..kind of cool..but I feel like the Necro mechanics are pretty neat. In the GW type games..do they tend to be debuffers? Necro or engineer a rarer class?

In GW1 them and mesmers were huge debuffers or "condition" placers.

In GW2, the necro has a debuff or 2 and maybe a DoT, but otherwise its mainly just to do with death type abilities and the undead.

Necro to my opinion has been the rarer class.

 

[zinfamous]

yeah, I see less and less necros the further I progress. Mes in GW2 is big on support and cc. a sword Mes is great spike damage, but needs to get in and out of mele range constantly--which is quite easy to do. I'm having tons of fun with that build.

we have you in the guild now, right? or are you dealing with the guild-related bugs?

Speaking of--TODAY's GUILD UPGRADE Status, and general buggy shenanigans.

So I was looking at progress for our Warehouse (allows us to research two upgrades at one time) which was scheduled to finish very early tomorrow. I saw that at 20 hours left, I could drop roughly 4 hours with 1.2k influence--pretty cheap now that we seem to be steadily gaining influence. Why not? so Boom, no problem. Then I got an offer to drop another 3 or so hours for a piddly 988 influence. OK, sure....as soon as I did that--the research auto-completed!
:awe:

....not sure if that will change, but I went ahead and queued up the xp banner (an officer will be able to activate them wherever they are in the world, and guild members can touch them for a temporary 5% boost in XP), and the PvP research level 1 (ready early tomorrow morning). The XP banner should be ready in less than an hour's time.

Hopefully, things will remain as they are, and we can begin adding the buffs--perhaps influence in PvE and PvP influence for the weekend? I think it best not to mess around with purchasing shorter build times as we will likely be seen as exploiting a bug. maybe ANet will look kindly on us for realizing what happened, and backed away, by letting us keep the upgrades.

Anyhoo, we have several dedicated PvPers it seems, so I think it would be great to get some guildies together to do some WvW this weekend (for great justice) for influence gain and all that. What say you?

For officers that are currently in the game--it would be nice to get suggestions of other stuff to queue while dies and I are away for the day. There should be 2 opportunities throughout the day to get things rolling, assuming we stick with the buffs (4 hour research time)--hopefully these aren't time limited as soon as they are researched.

I dont have anyones in game name on that list. I have the AT forum name, the GW tag and server.

Zin, to be fair... we had almost 12k influence when I logged last night. We have so many people earning so much influence, I dont know if we can really "Bug" it anymore than just having so many points

This makes me want to level the necro

 

[diesbudt]

Also if I remember right, we are closing in on 80 members.

How much would an increase cost this time if we broke the 100 barrier? D:

I haven't checked. Maybe 1.5 silver? D:

 

[VashHT]

What classes does the guild need the most? I've been leveling a little of everything and I think I've narrowed it down between guardian and necro for my first guy.

 

[zinfamous]

GUARDIAN!

Don't get caught up doing hearts and events and forget about crafting. I gained two entire levels last night doing nothing but crafting; 60% of one level from making wood planks from Hard Wood.

Quick tips :

Only level 1 prof initially. All the profs use the same rare mats, so you'll need a ton of them to level 2 profs at once - even if the trading house was up, you won't have the gold for it (won't have gold @ 40 + 60 for trait books). I'm at 64 and have about 30 silver, only buying gathering tools/etc.

Once you get one prof over a tier of rare mats (ie no longer need things like weak blood), then start on the 2nd prof and only make/discover for those lower level mats.

Gather like mad. The XP for a single food plant can go 600+ where I am now, which is 1/4th an event reward for 1/100th the time, and up to 100x the exp for a mob.

WvW gives big karma, and you can use that to buy things to salvage. For example, I visit a lvl 22 heart vendor to buy cloth clothes for 126 karma which salvage into wool.

 

[diesbudt]

I need ALOT of cloth Jute and green wood logs....

Why won't you buy it retail? The price is the same. :\

Meh, laziness and preoccupations from every day's obligations and work (and tiredness).

Digital purchases were meant to accommodate that, to be at anyone's grasp in no time, a few clicks at home and the download starts. That works, until a developer trips on the branch of a integrity tree and as a consumer can't buy something that is released.

It's ok though, I make it sound like I'm pissed off. I'm not... well yes I am, but I'm not. I understand why they're doing it, "makes sense" (it does, no sarcasm). But I'm frustrated anyway. It's a necessary evil, but it won't make all consumers smile either.

I think i might do leatherworking and jewerly as it seems they don't overlap as much.
