No I'm just not a very good commander. I don't know how many times I toss the wrong siege down or in the wrong place because I'm not paying attention. When we come to your server make sure to tag up so I don't have to! In all seriousness I really thought that was a destructible wall for some reason. What I should have done is head over to the grave stones shot from there.

I should probably sit down and actually memorize siege placement positions for maps other then desert (my preferred map) instead of relying on my world/guild commanders to do so :).

Videos like this make me way, waaay more enthusiastic about the game than the Friend/Ships videos.

But then again, I'm a customer already so I know why to appreciate these things, and potential new buyers might find that too long and specific to be exciting.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! A lot of our different efforts are aimed at different types of players (or different types of prospective players), and I'm happy that this is the sort of content you enjoy. :)

So! We're not actually sure why this happened and it might be an issue with our CMS. It's been re-published, but the changes haven't shown up yet.

Edit: Good news! It is now no longer Literally Unreadable (if you don't know German): https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/light-up-the-sky-with-the-forged-backpack-and-glider-combo/

Were extra ruined logs intended as... you know... it's driftwood?

That was the intent by the designer that put the drops for them together, but I think the issue is that the "Ruined Log" has confusing messaging. It probably would have worked better with a trash item that isn't the item you get from gathering a node with the wrong quality of axe.

The Mac client doesn't automatically update to the latest like the Windows client?

Since the two applications are very different internally, this is not as simple as it was/is for the Windows client.

In case you weren't aware, the 32-bit client ran under Cider, a Wine-derivative, whereas the 64-bit client is a native application.

Looking at the launcher is a simple way of determining which one you have:

32-bit

vs 64-bit

Hi.
I'd like to directly address the assertions in the first post and repeated elsewhere that the featured video is questionable because of "the background" of the players, and how an incredibly innocent statement was misunderstood and misread. As you can see here, Poz is listed as the "overall largest supporter” for Bria’s channel

Anyone who knows about Bria and Poz's friendship knows why that is, but ...

You are actually spot on with this comment and it's unfortunate that the conclusions being jumped to in the rest of the thread made you rethink it.

We cannot and will not give further personal information about players we've spotlighted, but when we chose them it wasn't based on incomplete information we pulled from the internet. They're people we've been aware of in some cases for years, whose stories we'd heard before; we wanted to share them with the community because we hoped it would be a positive experience. And for the most part, it has been.

What I'd hope for from this community is the basic understanding that nobody's life is immediately readable to total strangers, that no one is entitled to further context just because they watched a video about someone, and that nobody here would want to be under this kind of hostile scrutiny.

If they played the game five years ago and quit, then they are defacto not part of the community.

If people played the game, made friends through the game, and moved on to other games, their friendships are still real, should be celebrated. That is the essence of community.

I personally think that while romance can indeed happen overtime for players, ANet needs to market other sides of people bonding. What about asking popular guild leaders moments where their guild met up for a convention? Why not about just really good GW2 friends meeting up, and becoming IRL friends?

Marketing Players reactions to making lasting bonds is great, but romance isn't the only bond that needs to be marketable.

Totally agree! That's why two of the three videos celebrated friendships/platonic relationships and one video celebrated a romantic relationship. :)

To your point, here is the video about the [POOF] guild: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU-Y8wHn0i0&

One of the amazing things about the Guild Wars 2 community is how it has brought people together over the years. There is no minimum bar for being part of the community, no requirement for hours played or achievement points attained. The friendship they and others formed through the game have transcended beyond Guild Wars 2. And if they play other games? So what? That's what gamers do! Whether people played the game 5 years ago and quit, last played two weeks ago, took breaks over the years, or never stopped playing since launch--they are all part of the community and the friendships players make through Guild Wars 2 are real, awesome, and should be celebrated regardless of how long and how often people play the game.

Really awesome to see this. The appreciation you all have shown for our work has really been a boon to an otherwise stressful week (as release weeks usually are).

Keep being awesome.

Gosh I'm gonna cry. Thank you so much!! Like I've told the others, I think I'm just going to stick with 25 for now and then maybe the next time I try this I'll get the courage to bump it up. I've just been trying to do this for awhile on a couple of discords and it's never worked so I just want SOMETHING at this point. Haha And sure, please do send me some of your charr! I'll do my best!

I'm astounded at the positivity coming from this thread. It's well deserved because your art is great. They're right, never sell yourself short! :)

I see it's use kind of mixed depending on where you WvW. I suspect that this will be more heavily used once world restructuring is in place to help organize people.

We've disabled LFG listings until a fix can be put in place for this.

Okay, thank you.

The game is also freezing when I try to log out to character selection. Pretty similar to the map issue, the music still plays and the game doesn't respond to commands but the screen is the location I'm at when trying to switch characters with the log out window overlayed and the character select button grayed out. Not sure if this info is helpful at all?

Edit: Oh nvm I just saw Ester's comment. Thank you for the response! Didn't even realize I hadn't updated my client...

If that doesn't fix it let us know and we'll continue to troubleshoot

I get client errors or crashes relatively frequently, however when the map issue happens I don't receive any error messages; just the black screen with map title/map icons and music from the map I attempted to leave, if I wait long enough my fans will run lower then turn off and viewing my activity monitor I can see a sharp increase in CPU load (from 22% to 95%) then a sharp decrease (from 95% to 14%). The game does not respond to any commands and will only close with force quit. I'm fairly certain I use the 64 bit client since I did a reinstall pretty recently; version 1.0.010382. I also just downloaded the new build and tried to change maps only for the same result.

That sounds like the 32-bit client. The version number shown in App Info says 1.0. The 64-bit client when installed by default is named with "64-bit" in the app name.
