Foghladha.2506

I posted the video for those that couldn't make it. Thank you to everyone who came out. It was a beautiful sendoff.

It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of another wonderful member of Sanctum of Rall community. Since 2012, Sawda has roamed the Borderlands acting as a lone scout for the Sanctum of Rall. No commander has ever tagged up on the Sanctum of Rall without his useful scouting reports becoming a staple to the experience. Sawda was a loving and caring man who was a perfect example for what we should all be as human beings. He was witty, kind and never missed a moment to help a person in need. I know Sanctum of Rall will miss his ever watchful eye over the borderlands and his calming demeanor in our voice coms. For those who joined us, may I extend my utmost appreciation and gratitude. We were truly honored to have so many people come out to show their respects for Sawda. Thank you! In addition, I would like to humbly ask ArenaNet to consider adding a eagle perched on the NW building of the northern camp. Sawda spent hundreds of hours defending the north camp and provided us overwatch for nearly a decade. Having his ever watching eyes overlooking it would be a wonderful way to keep him in our thoughts and memories.

Bumping because I really would like to see this.

I had my suspicions! I mean who would change the mission type to Kitten hunting! Kitten hunting! Who does that!($@!

Agreed, however In my experience asking for the simplest change is often times the best way to get reaction from developers. Complex changes usually get scheduled and often times forgotten about. A simple line entry would suffice then i could have a rank for people who know what their doing and another for people who don't. Would be the simplest fix and require the least amount of work.

Would it be at all possible to add a line to the mission log that reads: Foghladha.2506 changed the mission preference to PvE That would be huge. We want to keep it open to everyone to trigger missions but occasionally someone changes mission preference and nobody knows who. It would be nice to inform said person how the mission system works. Thanks!

Greetings,I felt it was important that I comment on this. Many of you know me as the Leader of Gaiscioch, the community that campaigned for several months to have a server named after a member who loved this game deeply and never had the chance to play it. Roger "Oldroar" Rall is the reason Gaiscioch came to Guild Wars 2 in the first place. His passion for this game and the development team behind it inspired many of us to fall in love with it as well. ArenaNet answered by naming a server Sanctum of Rall in his memory and we turned a common man into a legend. This wasn't the only place ArenaNet paid tribute to him. They knew servers may not last forever and in the email exchange we shared even mentioned that servers are not permanent and may be removed in the future. We knew this going in. They did however surprise us with the Historian GoshKia in the Black Citadel who shares the legend of Oldroar. Now I know some of you love us and some of you would sooner pour salt on anything I say. The fact is Guild Wars 2 needs this. It's long overdue and even Sanctum of Rall will benefit from this system in the long run. We've had "Alliances" come to our server and "Drag us kicking and screaming to T1" and as quickly as they came, they left taking with them a good chunk of the community. What didn't fall out then would leave over the next year. Sanctum of Rall has been small and tight nit for a few years now and all of us Rallians still band together week after week. It doesn't matter if our server is no more. WE are the legend of Rall and will form a Sanctum of Rall Alliance with the guilds that remain. I suspect other server loyalist communities will do the same for their server. This game has always been about Alliances. There are circles of Guilds that band together and transfer from server to server over and over again. It's always been that way. What this system does is match Alliances, Guilds, and Players up with others that compliment their weaknesses. Gaiscioch for example can rally a giant pugzerg full of random people who might be great and might be learning. Pair us with a composition group and you find total destruction. We draw attention, they kill everything. It's a perfect balance that ArenaNet sees the potential to create. I for one Support this idea 200% and believe ArenaNet is heading the right direction. Our time on Sanctum of Rall has been filled with epic moments we wont ever forget and it will live on in us. A memory is not bound to a server. It's bound to people. Those people will still be there by my side when this battlefield changes. That said, Gaiscioch will be forming up the Sanctum of Rall Alliance and will be looking to rally up the rest of our server community to form a tight nit alliance. My Wishlist/Ideas for this Revision: Leaderboard of Guilds based on WvWXP, Captures, Kills, Time on Field, Etc.Viewable Players WvW Stats for players and guilds. Intra-Guild and Intra-Allaince weekly leader board for commanders and soldiers (Nothing gets people on a battlefield like statistics)Alliance Chat ChannelGuild FinderUpdated Guild API for Statistics to stream to our websites. Guild WvW Progression that is based on performance / effort not on scribbing.
