Talk:News

i am just curious by what ive read it now says Anet is all for farming, so why for so long have farmers been discrimated against for a long time. All these skill changes, and other various attempts. and now no char slots for GW:EN i hope that you do something for the people in gw2 that have paid money for extra char slots, pvp unlocks and everything.

i understand now how you have decided to ration the drops so bot farming companys are not earning cash, but it has taken long enough, numerous times people have reported stuff to yourselves and nothing has been done, if anything we have been ignored and its ourselves which has helped you develope GW into the game it is at this moment.

a few events here and their is not enough to make people forget, instead of the support we have been given needless weekends to divert our attention away, i seriously hope that overall Anet is better for liasing with the public, helping them and mainly better communication. i know that some wont agree with what ive said but i know there will be alot who do.

I Have a New Key
Anyone know why it doesn't display to some people? I've never seen it on my login. Could it be because I own all 3 campaigns and the expansion? (Though, there are numerous keys for other things besides the campaigns, but just a thought.) Rose Of Kali 07:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

shows fine when i log in. And i also have all 3 campaigns plus the expansion. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:90.187.103.56.

Old News
Is there any particular reason the news on this page never seems to keep up with the news from guildwars.com? Reason I ask is I can't read guildwars.com from work because the website doesn't display correctly in linux. 218.214.126.215 07:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

news?
I think this is the longest GW has gone without any news (not updates).. I know the CM's have to settle in, make new arrangements and agreements, but its been 13 days without a single news item.. I'm not complaining, but I'm eager to read news, anything from gotw till what size of shoes the Spanish CM has ^^.. Hope we see some news soon ;-) -- (Tribina  / talk) 19:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of a lack of news, where are the Halloween Art Contest results? I've been checking the stupid page for the past 3 days, and still nothing. So much for "on or before November 3." Grrr. 71.165.40.165 06:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Video Concerns
Wow... I cant believe people/companies would stoop to that level to create lame crap on youtube to steal people's accounts... Obviously... everyone should stick to the Guild Wars offical website for their news and info about GW2, or atleast accredited news sites... not some wiki or host site where people with no offiliation to the product or services have access too... even this wki site has been a victim of false information for others not directly part of the website or service... so please everyone... if you want info on GW2... stay with the Guild Wars website... they have always been good to the clientel (us the fans) with all their information... more so then any game company out there... they listen to us and they change the game for us... theres not many out there that do that... so please... stick to OFFICAL WEBSITES for any info on GW2..... thanks...

 * This wiki is a fork off of the official Guild Wars website, the servers are hosted by ArenaNet, this wiki is the official wiki for ArenaNet, this wiki is linked to from the game (F10 help). Any external links on the wiki are carefully checked that they aren't phishing sites or the like. All this also applies to the Guild Wars 2 Wiki. Now, some people would "stoop " to that level. They get a free account with a bunch of slots and money and characters after a bit of thoughtful trickery. Not to say it's right, but nobody should be surprised people would do that.

Comunity updates.
should this page include them ? ie. http://www.guildwars.com/community/news or should some sort of forum be put in place to promote other sites activity's.75.165.102.102 21:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There hasn't been any community news in over a month, so maybe they forgot about it or nothing is happening. Anyways, I think it probabaly should, because I bet a lot more people check here for news rather than the GWs site. And this would be a lot more centralised for easy finding. &mdash;  ク  Eloc  貢  02:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

chaging elites
why would you change classic elites like 100 blades with a zealous sword you no longer get +1energy for all the people you hit,you only get +1 total. it also no longer auto target I am very un happy with this change. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:208.107.220.214 (talk).

My question is that if they have PvP and PvE why change the skill to mess with everyone when it is generally (if not all of the time) that PvP people complain the most about how powerful skills are? They have PvP and PvE versions of the same skills why not just do that to the skills that they screw with? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:141.151.80.210 (talk).

Free Xunlai Storage Pane—Limited Time Offer
I just bought a new storage pane as discribt on the webpage (http://www.guildwars.com/products/extras/storage/free_storage_pane.php) and I did enter in coupon code FREESTORAGE but I did not receive it!

It did however take 52 minutes to complete this transaction since loading the pages took forever and once even the four letter code I had to enter had expired. So maybe when this happened some information was lost. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Pheronike (talk).


 * I had the same problem, it told me the code was invalid or used too much or some BS like that. I did it again all over and it worked the second time.  [[Image:User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpg]]Rose Of Kali  20:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

ArenaNet Staff - Wiki Posts/News
Could we add a new section to the news which includes links to journal updates or locations (or even just summaries) where someone from ArenaNet makes a comment or announcement of something of substance on the wiki? Kind of like a blue tracker for Blizzard employees on Blizzard forums. It would help people to keep up to date with the smaller details of what is going on without stalking staff talk pages/journals all the time.

On a side note: ArenaNet talk:Staff presence is unable to be edited by me. I suspect it's an ip thing. Is there a reason the talk page is protected? 58.110.60.57 18:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The entire ArenaNet namespace is protected, since it has pretty much been fully converted to the Feedback namespace.--Pyron Sy 03:50, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Guild Wars 2 on 360/PS3
According to MMOSite, Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2 will be having console versions released at the same time as the game.
 * MMOSite: Blade & Soul Closed Beta & Guild Wars 2 24.78.135.179 22:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC) Sneaky


 * No, it does not -- it merely says that console versions are being developed at the same time. This is still very interesting news though. :) &mdash;Tanaric 23:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Blog link section?
I think we should include a section here to the new blog pages. At least for the ones that pertain to GW. -- Wyn  talk  22:31, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * So far there have been 2 blog posts related to GW1, and both of them have been plugged in guildwars.com news, which we already have a section for. If this trend continues, a new blog post section may be redundant. - Tanetris 23:05, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True. It was just an idea. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  00:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Seeing that not all the blogs involving Guild Wars have made it to the Guildwars.com news page, I have gone ahead and added a separate section specific for the blog posts. If some items get duplicated in the news, I don't see the harm in it, but limiting ourselves to only those that do end up listed in the news, as well as a single external link on the main page is doing our community a disservice. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  14:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Interview round up page
Shouldnt we have a page were alle the interviews about gw2 are collected and structured in addition to the "link round up"-blogposts?
 * ups that was me Krushak 18:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No... no we should not. B/c many of them are what you call redundant promotion with only slight nuances on details.  And it makes no sense to note every little single nuance of GW2 interviews on the GW1 wiki... that's what the GW2 wiki is for.  And if they aren't doing so to your satisfaction then find a way to do it yourself  ...over there.  -- ilr [[image:User_ilr_deprav.png]] 19:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
