I think first splitting among people who are more interested in pve/pvp might be better. Then into time zones if we must. Though like all gaf guilds.. eventually people will become inactive and I'm sure there will have to be a merging.

Yeah, I think that the 100 person thing was a bug because from video of the previous beta there were guilds well over 100.
I hope so, there are actually douchebags on the GW2 forums defending the 100cap. Saying it gets too crowed with more than 100 people.
The mentality of these twits blows my mind. Heres an idea for those people, don't invite more than 100 people for your Guild and don't ruin it for the rest of us by giving shit feedback to Anet.
If there will be a bigger cap then we could all just join 1 guild. Maybe have 1 or 2 extra officers for EU. Then euro's can just choose if they wanna do WvWvW with NA GAF or want to WvWvW with good latency.
With the way how guesting works as I understood it, you could just play with each other regardless of your home server choice?

Were you playing a warrior Jira? I had the exact same combo myself.
Sword & shield, to get up close and personal, do some shield bashing, apply couple of bleeds and thanks to the 5th weapon skill get the much needed protection in PvP. Switch to hammer to bash some skulls when I was going out through our gates thanks to the AoE capability of the weapon. And took my bow when it suited my needs.
I had the bull rush, endure pain and either the dolyak or might signet as my utility skills + the warrior second healing (forgot the name of the skill) that has a 20s cooldown and removes 2 conditions.
People in this thread are saying that the rifle is more powerful than the bow, I feel stupid for not trying it during the beta.
You have to select "Represent" button in the guild menu.

I'll be playing on Japan time so you know you'll always have someone to group with in those late hours!
It's not really an issue tbh. In LOTRO i think the cap was 1000 members and zerg Guilds (Kinships) was never an issue. I suppose the same would hold true for WoW.
Even zerg guilds exist, it doesn't stop rival Guilds from doing the same. So it balances out. I think 1000 members is a fair cap. My GW1 had 400 members at one time, and the only solution was to create multiple Alliances with the same name with a number on the end, the 100 cap is just a hindrance.
Yeah, I was. I didn't start using the Rifle until near the end of beta. I got a green rifle from a karma vendor and it had a sigil that added +5 power stacking up to 25 times as long as I didn't go down or weapon swap. Let me tell you, this thing was a BEAST at 25 stacks. If I used Brutal Shot for 5 stacks of vulnerability and then a full bar of Kill Shot, I'd do 1,500-1,700 crits without factoring in any possible utilities, though I did have
Berserker's Power 2-5% damage based on how much adrenaline you have built.
traited so that helped too.
Pvp was a nice way to try and see how a class acts at lvl 80. Plan to do that with my guardian. Though I think they'll shine most in WvWvW.
We did not confirm the once-a-month schedule people are quoting. We said roughly once a month and that the schedule is subject to change. This means it could be less frequent, depending on development.
Secondly, the game will be released when it is ready, regardless of what you have seen retailers displaying on their sites. Ive seen different online retailers change their supposed release dates of Guild Wars 2 many times over the past 3 years.When we are ready to announce it, we will.

These Anet guys are just awesome tbh. Companies could learn a thing or two about interacting with customers the way they do imo

Some already do. Remember Bungie?
From the posts I vaguely remember, those people were asking for it.

Hmmm. Except for the crosshair physically showing up on screen, this is more or less how combat works for me with a gamepad, unless you "promote" a target to primary by tabbing or clicking onto it. Since there is no crosshair it's just whoever is in the path of your skill which is essentially the center of your screen/window. There's an item in the options you need to definitely not have checked (promote skill targets to full targets). You could tape a crosshair to your monitor
In all seriousness though, I don't see why you couldn't use my AutoHotKey script to mimic the right mouse button being held down by pressing F7 (or something else you specify), yet continue to play with a mouse and keyboard... so that you basically had true mouselook (wouldn't hurt your hand anymore). You wouldn't be able to rebind the right-click key to something else in-game without some tweaking though. Playing like this gets you much closer to "crosshair" combat, for sure. You'd right-click to get your cursor back to aim AOE... hmm, maybe having right click actually be the toggle key would be ideal for you.
I don't know if that's making sense but if yoiu're interested I'm happy to clarify and/or give you the script.
That's kind of how I play currently. Targeting enemies close to the center of the screen, except with M2 held down the whole time. I just think it would be good for people who want that option. I'm not saying it should be forced, just something that could be checked in the options menu.
Thanks for the suggestions though. I'm probably going to wait and see if they add it in before I mess with anything.
Nah. While I will say that the WoW Forums are easily the worst community I've ever seen, the attitude a lot of developers had towards that community was pretty shitty too. I mean, I'm sure listening to that much stupidity day-in and day-out would drive anyone over the deep end, but they're paid for the job and they represent the company as a whole. Don't like having to deal with obsessive gamers? Get a new job.
Outside of the forums, their attitude towards their players at Blizzcon and such was also pretty bad. The Q&A sessions almost always had someone asking about something and getting mocked (usually something like item dyes, wardrobes, player housing, etc.) I can remember one particular instance where a woman was very clearly a big RPer asking questions relevant to her game experience and they just laughed at her. They're not as bad as some developers I've seen, but they can be pretty nasty to their fans.
Salvage Items are purely for salvage, and serve no other purpose as far as I know. You're talking about stuff like leather hides, metal scraps, etc., correct?

Ha, they have our money, so they don't care anymore.
I'm preparing to upload a lot of pictures to facebook but I liked this one so much, I had to upload it and post it here:

So basically they're just vendor trash from failed salvage attempts. Thanks.

No, they are items you use salvage kits on to get crafting mats.
No sounds like he's talking about items that are there to be salvaged only.
I think you misread the item descriptions. They had "salvageable item" on them and you probably thought it said "salvaged item".
AFAIK vendor trash just said "soulbound" without a proper description. For example hoofs or some variety of goo, etc.
very possible had very little sleep during the weekend
Vendor trash was honestly the most annoying but constant maintainer of my bottom line when I went on some minor buying splurges with my minuscule fortune throughout the weekend. Low on funds, need to post up a listing fee for a big ticket drop? Sell the trash! Hopefully its value scales.
Japan time here as well. Server was surprisingly busy in the evenings (early mornings server time).

Who cares if they're paid? Like you said when they're seeing the same shit every day they're bound to be fed up with it. Do I think they're wrong with some of their responses? Oh yeah. Can I blame them? Hell no. Seriously, doing customer service can be a blast when you're dealing with people who are chill and can accept anything that comes their way, but when you're dealing with the types that constantly bitch and gripe until the cows come home.. there's not much else you can do besides laying down the facts and being real. We get so much shit tossed at us than people realize because they're so busy supporting the people throwing the bitch fit.
That aside, yes, their devs can be pretty terrible at times.
Part of the grounds on which they're receiving money is to not blow up at the people they're supposed to be communicating with. Laying down the facts is one thing, that's part of moderation, but you also have no choice but to be respectful to the people who are using your product.
Yeah... I think some of you guys are coming off a little bitter towards the WoW devs. I'm sure months after the game is released the ArenaNet devs that are currently on a pedestal will be thrown under a bus.
Hell, at my software dev job if I had the luxury of acting the way that Blizzard's devs do at times I would surely take advantage of it.

Wow, thanks for linking this... MORE games need elements like this!
TOTALLY can't wait to experience more of these awesome jumping puzzles. I REALLY hope they add in a fair bit of 'em or other cool type of skill challenges as well!
Son of a bitch, that means I was running around like an idiot for nothing.
Since it's just home server stuff, can't Eurogaf just be in the main GAF guild? Or is the lag so bad that WvWvW is ruined?
It could be good for our server to have people dominating in WvWvW in the off hours.
Euro main guild would have probably worked better in the beta actually because I switched to Jade Sea for a while and the WvW fights were really balanced. The score line was something 22-21-23 and playing it was much more fun. Compared to US where we just got destroyed.
I got a random loot mystic key outside of the area surrounded by centuars.
I got two from my personal story but none from loot. I did buy a bunch with my free gems and opened several chests. I didn't really get anything that great. Notables were 50% increased karma for 1 hr, 50% increased crafting xp for 1 hr
You also get potions every box that turn you into animals or something but I have no idea what the purpose of it is lol

I got a key from random questing (i didnt do any personal story stuff outside of the mandatory intro). It let me open the stack of 3 or so chests before disappearing. I got some random little buff pots, i think an xp gain, some "transform into an animal" pots, and i think a karma increase pot.
