Guild Wars 2 Guild organization thread.

Lets see what it [emblem] looks like in game as is and if the white stands out too much then we can discuss adjusting the colors.

Just so folks know where I was coming from with the color scheme, I wanted to use the colors from the website which, in some sort of planets aligning coincidence, are the same colors as the GW2 page: white, gray and black (GW2 warrior/Stan's dapper suit), and a touch of red. If we want to change that around, I won't mind.

Anyways...6.5-9.5 hours to go. I hope I can get some sleep tonight, but its looking doubtful.

Just to let people know, it's unlikely I'll be throwing invites tonight, as 12 PST is 3AM EST time (Unless they actually do open servers the full 3 hours early). Also, if you're a skimmer and never got on the invite lists, I'll be in vent when I am on, and will be able to coordinate from there.

So, how many of you use the Ventrilo Software? I've never even heard of it.

Pretty much every MMO player uses Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, or Mumble. Do you need help with setup?

I saw the thread on ventrilo download for setup. If I got issues, I come back here. Thanks.

Can't wait to finally play GW2. Long time listener to the podcast and I signed up for the forums a few weeks ago just to play this game with you all. Just wish i knew whether to go to sleep for 2 hours or 5 hours!

I just preordered, hope to play with you all some this weekend

I just found this thread and submitted my name to the invite list, but for some reason I thought headstart was TOMORROW night and haven't updated my client yet so who knows when I'll be able to play.

It's up and lagtastic.

Logged in and created two characters OK. Trying with the third and now cannot log in. Launch day blues.

*EDIT - can log in now, but the lag is terribad. To the point of unplayability. Multiple disconnects too. I know it's launch night, but come on ANet.

OK everyone who was on the spreadsheet has been invited. If you have no logged in yet just hit G when you do get in and you should see your invite.

Remember to represent once you join.

I accepted the ginvite, and can see the guild roster. But when I try and type anything in guild chat, I get an error stating that I am not in a guild. Anyone else having that issue?

Well technically, there is another 45mins minutes before the servers actually go live. So being able to create two characters and log in is pretty good. Some others in the guild are already at level 6.

Lag? that will pass.

Down in the right hand corner of the guild window there is a represent button. You can only use chat if you are currently representing the guild.

I played for about 2 hours with no lag at all.

Ok, created my five characters. Time for bed.

And I played right since the servers went live... didn't notice any lag, but did get dumped into the overflow server a couple of times. It didn't impede my enjoyment of the game in any way, though.

The lag did pass for me. Shortly after I was able to create my third character, it all went away. Pretty smooth. Now if I could just somehow not need sleep

Played for about an hour with no problems but I haven't gotten a GWJ invite yet; the ginvite wasn't waiting when I logged in like I thought it would be. I'm assuming it's something on their end.

Then I got kicked out and the login server isn't responding. Whee launch day!

The vent server has some folks in it but is otherwise crickets.... soooooo quiet. I bet everyone is just angry face trying to login

I'm enjoying refreshing their FB page and seeing the comments jump up 200 or so every couple of minutes.

The last thing I would want for a job is to be on a team releasing an MMO.

Anyway, I really like my level 5 mesmer. I picked up a greatsword and now i shoot greatsword laser beams....pew pew

Yeah, I made an Mesmer alt after my Engineer main, but ended up playing the Mesmer more.

Got in last night and loving it. Smacking things around with my greatsword warrior feels SO right. And I'm really digging the vistas. I didn't really pay them much attention during BWE but it was fun puzzling them out last night (it was also a good filler while I was stuck in Black Citadel unable to zone out).

Is there a way to make separate chat windows? The wiki is down and from what I searched out it seems like no. I found it hard keeping track of all the words zipping by with different colours and whatnot.

I'm having difficulty getting logged in. It's giving me an error code of 42.X saying my firewall or router settings are blocking access. I have turned off Windows Firewall. I have an Airport Extreme with "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" checked. I've tried manually mapping port 6112 and 6600. If anyone has any ideas what I'm missing that would be extremely helpfull. Thanks

It's down for everyone right now. Once we're back in I'll make another invite pass.

To increase the number of inviters I'll volunteer for an officer position. I'll be on as often as I can so I may be of some use. At least as a footstool or figurehead or figurestool or foothead.

Are guilds cross-region?

It was REALLY bad for me at first. (Could barely stay connected.) After about an hour, the lag passed.

Thank you to everyone who helped get the guild up and running so quickly. I can't believe we hit the invite cap within the 1st 45 mins.

I gave everyone the right to invite for now since there is going to be so much traffic over the next week.

Your account info was not in the spreadsheet, so I missed getting you a pre-invite. It is there now so once I can get back in I'll shoot you an invite.

I think so, but you won't see any of the influence rewards cross server.
