> Although not technically a bug but rather a "quality of life" topic, I second this suggestion. It would be nice to have either a notification of where the item will go when you buy it, or a dropdown selector box where you can select which guild it should go to, defaulting to the guild you currently represent. Additionally, it would be cool to be able to change the number of items you are buying, right now you can always only buy one at a time.

Thanks. I posted in QoL thread.

Because the Racetrack Guild decoration purchases occur outside the guild hall, there was no warning as to which guild my purchases would go to.

If it's not possible to re-direct the decoration destination, please at least give a warning as to which guild the purchase goes toward.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Wrong guild everything.

Because the Racetrack Guild decoration purchases occur outside the guild hall, there was no warning as to which guild my purchases would go to.

If it's not possible to re-direct the decoration destination, please at least give a warning as to which guild the purchase goes toward.

Thank you.

Where do they go? I bought some but I don't know where to find them.

You can have an unofficial jackal race or any mount for that matter. Just use the same beetle track. LOL I tried it and it WORKS! The only problem is that they're really slow compared to beetle so you may only get to finish one lap before the race is officially over. I did Diessa's Ghostfire run on Raptor @ 3:45 and Jackal @ 3:50 lol. 4:45 on skimmer lel.

I just like the driving. It's the only series I like.

Games that died that were niche for racing lovers: Rallisport 2 and Project Gotham. I know there are Gran Turismo fans out there but those were my favorites.

But more music:

Someone Else's Playlist with race music:

To add more, I specifically love all the songs in this episode:

Santa Rocket Beetle Sleigh Skin for Wintersday. Dolyak Skin for Beetle (for the lels). Map chat voted on a rolling Choya skin for beetle at Jormag's Fang track lol.

I second all of those by Tex.

I have my own list here:

I second that. I race all day when I'm off. That could have been so much more. No cheevo points :(

They can build a whole expansion up there. It's really pretty. I would also like maybe an instanced racetrack themed like Sanctum Sprint. It wouldn't be the exact same track since it's too narrow for a beetle at times and it would be downhill instead for AAAAAA experience.

> @"hugo.4705" said:

Feels like Koopa Beach.

Every race should have a ghost of the #1 racer. That person will be immortalized into the track history.

This is the only thing I would honestly do a VS against another person. 1 v 1 and have a mode where we either: even start (side-by-side) or have chaser/runner for a narrow course that alternates position should there be no position change in a lap.

> Please oh please give the commanders the ability to put out checkpoints and orbs and lets see magic happen :)

I am all for RACEmmander TAG mode :) =)

Custom races for every occasion.

> Female light armor has plenty skimpy armor sure, although they also got modest options. Medium armor does not have as much skimpy armor... infact for my female sylvari ranger where I would very much like an open back, so I could actually see that beautiful glow pattern, there is a grand total of 2 options, and I like neither one. So yeah, given up on that....

> Oh how I would love the elite druid armor set from GW1 on my sweet sylvari.

I agree. Female light armor has the most 'skimpy' options.

But Heels? I haven't seen anything that looks even remotely like stilettos or anything like Cinderella's glass slippers (which I would buy with real cash if we had). Everything looks like wrestler boots all the way up to the knee.

The aurora shoes are the only shoes that look like actual shoes you'd wear with a gown, but I don't think they're in bad taste at all. To me, they're the only good ones.

It may already have become GTA Tyria.

That is tokyo drift elite. I'm wowed. You may see me or a guildie just spiraling around there.

Guild Kite like a huge flag behind you. That would rock.

How about Divinity's Reach 500? =)

If we went by a simple metric of what is good for *this game*, raids are pretty much at the bottom. ArenaNet would make more money by just releasing open world zergfest content, than with raids. Raids are a special snowflake, and that's why it can't hold on forever, not like this.

I voted and I quoted to discuss some points about this game and why it's special to the people who've been playing it long.

If anyone remembers, this game was WITHOUT raids for a long time.

Because of this, this MMO was the casual MMO.

Compared to more hardcore MMOs, this game was easy to get into with its welcoming atmosphere.

It was non-competitive and you could be as flexible as you want with your builds because you weren't going after a RAID wing and no one would tell you otherwise.

The introduction of raids changed the game along with the expansions.

Many of us in the community glossed over raids because we didn't start playing this game because of raids at all.

It was the casual structure that kept us and continues to keep us, not raids.

However, it brought in more competitive aspects that brought a whole new brand of MMOer to this game, the competitive raider.

You competitive raiders deserve one another. Let there be a HARD mode for you all.

Give the rest of us a ZERG mode (not easy). Same rules just lots more people.

The reason why the majority of this game's content is enjoyable is the fact that many can partake. Remember, this game was originally structured on inclusiveness and NOT exclusivity.

But for you minority hardcore raiders, be thankful for those of us that fund this game out of our pockets because we really don't make our lives here and just want to enjoy it as a casual game on the side.

I grind and train enough in real life to build my career into what I want it to be; I can't do both in-game and rl.

If you grind and train here to be the best you can be at raids, go for it. Just remember the game isn't centered around raids and us casuals are funding the game.
