Gaming Age Force [GAF] (or "GAFGuild") is the official NeoGAF presence within Guild Wars 2. We will be a fairly casual guild but will have our hands on different aspects of the game including WvW/PvP, dungeon runs, among other things. Membership is entirely optional but is encouraged, as we are offering many useful services.

The easiest way to get an invite to the guild is to whisper an officer or GM in-game with the </w name message> command (e.g. "/w <officer> Hey, this is <username>, can I get an invite"). This makes it so we can simply right-click your name in chat and invite you from there. Officer names will be posted as soon as we have them secured and will be posted IN THIS SPACE:


Ferny: Ferny
Hawkian: Hawkian The Blade
Jira: Gojira
Kayos09: Shadow Kayos
Maxrpg: Ashodin Venteal
Mulligan (EU): Name not reserved.
Naito (EU): Name not reserved.
Retro: Professor Retro
Warrior_Keoni: Nephenee Reginleif

REMEMBER:
/w <officer name> Hey this is <your GAF name>, can I get an invite?

Guild Website
To keep the official thread as on-topic as possible, and to aid in event planning and community building, we have created a separate guild website; GAFGuild.com. Registration is quick and easy, and grants access to features such as an event calendar, profession-specific discussion and

Guild Mumble
Gaming Age Force uses Mumble for all voice communication.
The address appears at the top of this post when quoted.
Please use your GAF name when logging in so we know who you are.

Guild Twitter
Stay up to date on GW2 and guild information by following @GAFGuild.

Guild Steam Group
We also have a steam group that anyone can join for the guild at GAFWars2.

Guild Emblem
This is the symbol you'll see on your arms and armor, and flying from banners in WvW. The original emblem was suggested by Piecake, flipped by Chapel, and the appearance of the N/G was noticed by Lump of Cole.

We&#8217;ll be using GAF&#8217;s rules as a basis for our own policy in-game, since everyone should be quite familiar with them already. Not every rule will transfer over exactly, but a good rule of thumb is, if it would get you banned on NeoGAF, it will probably get you kicked out of GAFGuild.

One noteworthy difference is that the GAFGuild has a Zero Tolerance policy on Drama. The guild is meant to be a place for GAFers to play together and we know disagreements are bound to happen, but anyone intentionally holding grudges, starting arguments or causing trouble within the guild will be dealt with swiftly. The worst thing that can happen is one person ruining the atmosphere and attitude within the guild and hurting it in the long run. Our goal is just to have a friendly guild where people can log in and have a good time with fellow GAFers without having to face a lot of drama.

You should also provide your GAF Username in your Personal Note (or GW2 equivalent) so we know who everyone is on both the forums and in-game.

Non-GAF Membership
We know that several of you have friends and family you want to play Guild Wars 2 with that may not be part of the GAF Community. There will likely be players who are still pending account approval as well. Friends and family of GAF Members are welcome to join as long as they are vouched for by a member. We will likely ask that non-members list who vouched for them in their Personal note (or GW2 equivalent) so we know roughly where everyone is coming from.

Those awaiting GAF approval should contact one of the Officers or GMs in-game for an invite. GAFGuild cannot do anything about the wait time for approval.
banner__164tjtr.png

Unlike most Guilds, GAFGuild&#8217;s ranks are meant to be as fair and simple as possible.

At the head of the guild are the GMs, who have the most control over the guild. We currently have two volunteers serving as co-leaders.

After the GMs are the Officers, those who have exhibited their knowledge of the game and willingness to help others. Officers are not &#8216;better&#8217; than regular members and are there only to answer questions, keep the peace and perform basic guild management. It is worth noting that GMs and Officers are required to have additional account security (as applicable) to ensure the Guild is not hacked and plundered.

Members are players who are GAF Members or who have been vouched for by a member. Members can recruit players into the guild, but cannot promote them above Recruit status for security reasons; please ask an officer to change their personal note and increase their rank for you. Members who vouch for players who later engage in unscrupulous behavior may be asked to make reparations (replacing items stolen from the bank, for example).

Finally, there are Recruits. This is the rank for players who have not had their GAF Account approved or who have been recruited at the request of a member but have not had their Personal/Private note edited to reflect this. Recruits are not considered &#8216;lower&#8217; than members and should not be treated as such. The only difference between a recruit and a member is slightly limited bank access to ensure security.

I totally didn't notice I posted at the tail end of the other thread so I'll ask again here. Anyone know what's up with purchasing this game digitally? It says to try again soon, so I guess I'll wait it out. Would be cool to get some clarification though.
 
I'll repost then:

Do you need to have valid reason to get a refund for the game or is "it's just not for me" alright?

Don't understand all the praise the game gets. I just a standard mmo, but with a few tweaks here and there and one über shitty story with dialogue that would make George Lucas blush.

They had turned off digital purchases from the site. That may be why you can't right now.

I still can't figure out an alt, I keep going back to ranger =/

I usually play tankish melee guys in MMOs and thought my next alt would be one of the medium classes. Found them kind of boring but the scholar classes are clicking...at least just the necro.

So...maybe you should play Ele and roleplay as Ashe.

Roommates are playing this, but I doubt I can run it.

One of them as a really good PC but says the game is horrifically optimized.

Any chance of this getting better?

I might pick it up in a while.

I am playing this game so slowly but still enjoying it every time I jump in. Soon I shall be done Caledon Forest! 100% maps or bust.

I've been watching that guy play GW2 and accepting donations for Muscular Dystrophy. That guy is a wizard.
 
Will I ever be able to play a free trial of this game? I doubt it will work on my laptop and don't want to buy it blind. If not this game will have to wait like a year or more.

help how do i deal with an OT OP not having a wall of pictures and text

Make the fucking thread yourself?

Anyway, I am torn between simply playing s and wvw pvp on my thief, warrior, and engineer. They are all so fun to play.

I need arenas. Stat. Mainline.

S is never really going to feel like anything else but a cluster fuck of people face rolling, but there are these moments where you can briefly experience the potential for skilled play. I need 1v1, 2v2 and 3s so bad.

I dont' play AD carry, I'll play warrior with shitload of stun and roleplay as leona.

But Warrior only has 3 stuns and they are each on a different weapon.

You should just level 1-80 in the water with a spear and roleplay Pantheon.

"Coming right up."

Ah yes, GAF, where the moderators get to troll the shit out of games they don't like and no one can call them on it.

You used to be subtle about these things, maybe even clever, I dare say.

I take that back, you've never been clever. Same old rancid trolling we've been getting for the last 4 or 5 GW2 threads. But at least in the past you were subtle.

More like grind forever lolololol

They fixed the escort events with the last patch, didn't they? That should fix most of the bugged events. Haven't seen one today though.

On the WvWvW Front:

Guilds are starting to transfer over to SBI since it became more widely known that we're #2 rank.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. There are plenty of times where I get instant queues and can go right into a Borderlands. I also don't want the server to become fat on people just looking to be higher ranked. It also means future drama.

But I like GW2.

The thread title is only temporary until someone thinks of something better.

But he clearly knows you and the way you post so you clearly hate the game.

I'm absolutely baffled that you didn't take two minutes to PM me and ask me to make the new OT. Then you didn't even other to copy/paste the code from the old thread to this one out of sheer laziness. It's no secret that you don't even like the game so why in the hell did you take it upon yourself to do this? Also, changing the god damn title pisses me off to no end because I thought about titles for days for a VERY SPECIFIC REASON. I SPECIFICALLY came up with a title that didn't have the stupid inside jokes or anything of the sort and was made for people who knew nothing about the game. Thank you for turning the OT into a worthless hivemind inside joke with no information because you couldn't take the time to send me a PM.

Actually, I would've copy/pasted the old OP but it said it was 171 characters over the character limit. So no, not sheer laziness, your original post somehow inflated itself full of too much junk to fit into a new thread for some reason.

Guild wars 2 |OT2| is dragon up yet

Dragons seem so pointless though, from a reward standpoint.

While I like the fact that free server transfer helped me get on the GAF server in the first place, it is kind of a problem when you can simply move to a higher ranked server with no penalty. I kind of wish the ranks were secret until the end of a round.

Events never? I don't get it.

I believe it's referencing that some events, especially in the later levels, are bugged.

I haven't played a lot in a while. I've checked in every now and then to do the daily or check the TP but the stage of having to play it every day has finally worn off. Now, I feel that I can go at my own pace and don't feel pressured to play more than necessary since there isn't a monthly fee.
