Wintersday in July

Its supposed to be wintersday in july where are the npcs and the quests ? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.231.58.153 (talk).

There aren't any quests, see the Wintersday in July page for more infermation. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the announcement should be removed from the main page as it was in-game. Lapibacsi 10:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Trilogy

its my first time playing and a friend told me to get the trilogy because it was a reall good deal. so i created a caractor on nightfall but i can't go anywhere else. do i need to go through the campaign or am i not doing something right --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:66.11.251.111 (talk).

You need to go through the storyline a bit, and at one point, when you enter Kamadan, you'll get a little pop-up bubble that says "To travel to <someplace>, see <this person>". Go to whomever it tells you to go and do that person's quest.

For future reference, this question should have been created at Help:Ask a game question. Have fun. --Riddle 05:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Just Wondering...

Hopefully I am in the right place. I want to play GW again but lost the CDS. I had all the games/expansions. Do i need to buy all the CDS again or just the latest expansion? Thanks for any help :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Legendaryc (talk • contribs) at 19:17, 31 July 2009 (UTC).

Crash anyone?

I just had a major crash in GW, did anyone else have it? The rest of the internet is fine. -- UglyLooking 12:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Guildwars 2 logo

You have all the other gw logos, so why not shrink this GW2 logo and add it onto the main page!

--Fox Cub 20:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks good but it might better to post it here. - J.P.Talk 20:14, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Because this is the Guild Wars wiki, not the Guild Wars 2 wiki. That logo is located there, as well as the Guild Wars 2 page here. Let's keep this wiki focused on Guild Wars.. k? -- Wyn talk 20:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

its funny that you say that but yet the feed back pages have a guild wars 2 section, you would think if we really wanted to keep this wiki about guild wars 1 we would have all that info and stuff on the guild wars 2 wiki...-- Zesbeer 20:33, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

The feedback namespace is not related to our task to document the game; the Main Page however is part of that documentation (it's even the entry point to the documentation), so we should not mix that, because you won't find detailed information about GW2 on this wiki. poke | talk 11:59, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

besides the link that is right under upcoming changes that is on the main page and this Guild Wars 2 page right? -- Zesbeer 20:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Besides, the decision to put all feedback, including gw2 feedback, on this wiki was made by ANet, not us... (Satanael | talk) 01:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

whats up with the dragon 2 is a new boss or something cause i dont get it

I hopes your joking....--Wingsy 16:58, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

The dragon may or may not be part of Guild Wars 2. Since this is the the wiki for the original one, I see no point to your post. Twelve Souls 20:24, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Good job posting on something that hasn't been commented on in over a week. – Emmett 20:35, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Since there is no Wiki for guildwars 2 yet it might be a good idea too just make a few pages relating too this subject sinds there are and will be a lot of people with questions about this new Guildwars game. The title of guildwars wiki doesn't say that it has too be only about GW 1, so why cant we help these people.--Wysth 13:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

how do you mean no gw2 wiki? Fox007 13:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

The Guild Wars 2 wiki has been open for something like 2 years.... -- Wyn talk 13:39, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Still only 177 articles?  :/ They should start making stuff up to bump their article count over there. —Jette 13:43, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

There will be more new stuff soon :D -- Wyn talk 13:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it is a good idea to give that some more atention under the people because i think im not the only one that doesn't know of guildwars wiki 2. Maybe some tag on the mainpage or something?--Wysth 07:25, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree we should have a link to it under the "Wiki Community" tab, but not now. GW2 is not out yet so most of the information there is purely speculation. Personally, I don't think they should have set it up until just a month or two before GW2 came out, because 99% of the edits are talking about "what ANet might do," with it serving as more of a discussion board than a place to document the game -- which, by the way, doesn't actually exist. As I said, though, a link would be fine closer to GW2's release. —Jette 07:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

There are tags to the GW2 Wiki all over this wiki, on the GW2 article, as well as any article that shares information w/GW2. By following the GW2 link that is already on the main page, the link is right on the top. I don't see any reason to showcase the GW2 Wiki on the main page here. -- Wyn talk 07:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Only things allowed right now, that I know of, on GW2's Wiki (as I'm on it) Is things that they the developers Have mentioned, besides dumb speculation by many and we are allowed to upload only the photos they have placed up. Most information to some is on what is known or mentioned via twitter, facebook, the site, their interviews, etc. ♥ Ariyen ♀ 08:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Special Event

I dont know if this is the right place for this but since it is about the main page I suppose it is better asked her. Why does it stil says random/team arena weekend? that ended yesterday. and the new event will be announced tomorrow. Isn't it better to just have a blank line there from monday till wednesday? I mean this is only leading to people getting confused.--Wysth 18:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

eh its only one day.... but i can see how it would be confusing if you didn't look at the link. or haven't been activity playing.- Zesbeer 20:10, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Now it hides automatically when it's over.. poke | talk 21:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

When are you guys gonna change the front page and the logo? --97.106.18.182 18:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

To what? -- FreedomBound 18:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

You all usually change it for halloween. --97.106.18.182 18:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

It's november. Are we going to change it back to original after festives end on Nov. 2nd, (which is at 12 am)? -- riyen ♥ 18:29, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

When the event ends, the event decorations can also end. -- pling 19:41, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

So why is it still there?--Wysth 12:05, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Because the ingame decorations also haven't been removed yet. --Arduin 12:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Exactly. We "Undecorate" when the game does. -- Wyn talk 12:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I was a bit early reverting the editcopy page, hadn't really checked out the game yet. Still, I wanted to be the one to change it because I had detected a couple of Image links in the original page that I changed to File. — Why 17:18, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

halloween 2009 still running

Just a thought, and not necesary but is it not an idea to add the halloween 2009 event on the frontpage again? Theoretically it's not finished yet with last "waiting" quest. Didis 22:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

The decorations are gone however, that's what usually triggers the change to the main page. -- Wyn talk 22:27, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Xunlai Tournament House??

After such a long time out it starts to make you think.... firstly have they pulled the plug on this on purpose cause the amount of rewards players where recieving to great? secondaly they could have just reset the code back to its original state (before the introduction of random predictions) and I'm sure players around the globe would have forgot about May's distribution knowing that we would continue to miss many months after this. thirdly from a buisness point of view im sure there losing money by letting this continue to fester in the depths of the underworld cause im sure like many other players i was buying extra copies of a campaign (i.e prophecies) and making another account to earn extra rewards from other accounts. Sad as some people may think that is, im 100% sure there was lots of players doing this like i said, and it dont seem sad when you then loaded up with like 400zaishen keys every month from multipul accounts. I would have contined to buy a extra account every month as well until i reached a unmanagable ammount of accounts. So assuming other players where doing this also and others where buying accounts for a legal way of earning mass in-game gold, im guessing at least 500 players (at very least) buying 1 account each extra every month at a cost of £10ish is costing them at least £5000 every month. Any views noted and any flames would be silly as this is only a view. All players want to see Xunlai back. So lets see it. Ace —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ace Really Loves It (talk • contribs) at 08:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC).

you realize you are the reason why xth isnt back right? also this isnt the correct place for this talk page of xth would be better i think...- Zesbeer 09:03, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

No, the proper place for this post would be GWO or possibly Guru. It doesn't belong on wiki. -Auron 09:41, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Thats such a silly thing to say Zesbeer, Thats like me saying im the reason why ursan got nerfed and the im the reason shadow form will soon be nerfed. gz on your epic failure. I was meant to put on the XTH discussion btw my mistake again. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Ace Really Loves It (talk).

wait why am i the failure? i didn't farm the xth and making such broad generalizations as "all the players want to see xunlai back" is just wrong. im rather sure that the reason anet is not bring it back is because of people like you who used it to buy extra accounts so they could farm the keys from it which devalued zkeys.- Zesbeer 03:09, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Reset the talk page?

i think its about time user:n122333

No need. It's not yet the end of the year, and it's not that long. Also, put new topics at the end of the page. --JonTheMon 20:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

dose it always reset at end of the year? ~Nelson (n122333) File:N122333sig image.jpg

Main Page looks like crap at the 1024x768 resolution in IE

which I think is probably still a pretty standard setup for many average users. The right hand column is like one and a half inches wide. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.226.171.140 (talk).

HAve you tried Ctrl + + and/or Ctrl + - that may well help. my res is 1366 x 768 and it looks fine --Dakota 05:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Looks fine on both 800x600 and 1024x768 here. Which version of IE are you using?

(Added) Nvm. The question was from dec.18, so probably the issue was solved already.--Fighterdoken 06:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

No, the page still looks like crap in my opinion. Using IE8. Something about the formatting just seems off. Doing the CRTL +/- will do a full page resize of course, but I do not believe that should be necessary. The main page has never been this funked up for me before. Just since the Wintersday came into effect. I'll attach a screenshot in a second to show you what I mean. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.226.171.140 (talk).

That image is 854 × 610, not anywhere close to 1024 × 768. For what it's worth, that's pretty much exactly the window size I use to browse, and I see the same effect in Chrome -- and I think it's okay. The important info looks good, the silly sidebar stuff squishes up. —Tanaric 22:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

for someone who I thought was experienced on the wiki, thats a really odd thing to Tanaric. Its a crop of a screenshot (why waste bytes?). Do you actually believe my computer screen is set at a 854x610 resolution or something? I was simply trying to show how there are massive gaps of white space all over the page. while one column is extra squished. I've recalled some editors saying they hate whitespace as much as me, so I figured I would say its out there for on some views. I know its not a huge deal or anything. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.226.171.140 (talk).

Please sign your comments by typing four tildes (~~~~). Drogo Boffin 23:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I think what Tanaric was implying was that you weren't running your browser in a full screen - if you were, it'd be wider than 610 pixels (A scrollbar doesn't take 150 pixels worth of width). Try maximizing your browser window. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 23:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Aiiane -- yes, that is what I meant. —Tanaric 23:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Guess I was wrong in my assumption on Tanaric's comment. Guess I didn't think someone would assume I'm am mentally challenged, by bringing this question up with a "non-maxed window". My browser window is always maxed. As I said, its never acted this skewed in the view for me before. Only since the changes for wintersday. Its kind of silly to see a column where a title section for a table box is basically 3 rows thick, due to a couple of small words wrapping. And I have no need to sign, because I have no need to be a part of this "community" in the long run :P If thats some sort of bannable offense, ban me I guess. Otherwise, you can keep adding it in there, so you can feel useful. Win Win, yes? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.226.171.140 (talk).

Oh, sorry, didn't notice the sidebar wasn't in your screenshot. My mistake. —Tanaric 23:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Please take a screenshot of [1] (pre-wintersday edit) for comparison purposes. As i said, the bar looks fine here on IE7 and 1024x768, so it may be a once again IE8 related "feature".--Fighterdoken 00:05, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Not to gloat, but it looks wonderful on the right half of my 1920 x 1080 with GW windowed on the other side when I need to reference the wiki in game...now if only I could get my hands on a second monitor that had low res limitation...I'd be set. Ligglered 17:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
