  1. Muhaha, then my job here is definitely done. 😄 I talked with some friends about commissioned arts, and together we came up with some very-very cool ideas, so fortunately I'm still hyped. Before I take that route, however, I have another (a little bit less crazy and not Guild Wars themed) idea, which needs some research as well. I'm sure that one of the plans will work. 😄 We have a smaller guild, but unfortunately there isn't much activity, usually only the two of us are playing. We didn't even unlock the guild hall. Still, I like the idea. 😄
  2. Hmm that is actually a very good point, and I have to fully agree with it. Well, taking everything into account, I think we reached a conclusion here, so the problem of the topic is "solved." 🙂 While plan "A" did not turn out to be a success, I still got a few backup plans, which are much more realistic and reasonable ideas, so who knows, maybe one of them will work. 🙂 I am quite surprised the topic got this much attention, but I'm really glad for all the feedback and the advices. (I still can't get out from my mind the idea of a commissioned art, so I'll definitely make some research about it. 😄 ) Thanks a lot, everyone! 🙂
  3. It seems unreasonable to me to make a comment on a topic with you don't care about, but your question is valid, and probably more people thinks the same. (That I actually try to add myself into the game.) I don't think there is a single person on the planet who in my place would not play with the thought at least, but for me, the sense of accomplishment would actually be more than enough. As you can see from the amount of comments I made here, it is not everyday that I come forward with a crazy idea like this. I only doing this, because I know that it could turn out to be a really great gift, and if I fail? Then I'll have a good story to tell when the birthday comes up, and I hand over my actual gift.
  4. This comment pretty much sums up one of the major reasons why I think I will have to look for other ideas, but I still wanted to give it a try. It wouldn't hurt to at least talk about the topic, I got some great feedback already.
  5. I didn't meant that. What I meant, is that from the suggested advices above a commissioned art could be easily the most pricey solution. Like I said before, I know that there is a really low chance of success for my original idea in the first place, but I'm still in the planning phase, gathering info, trying to figure out, what are my options. x) That is why I'm taking notes and answering to those who give some advices, because they are trying to help, and I appreciate it.
  6. Commissioned arts are also on my list, but they can be really-really pricey, so I would choose that path as a very last resort. 😄 (Although, it would be awesome to have a poster with our characters in it.) The idea of plushies is great as well, but he likes to collect statues, so the 3D figures may be a better approach. Thanks for the suggestions so far! 😄
  7. I have the same concern as well. That is why I think there is a really low chance of success, and the same reason why I made contant with the customer support first. Anyway, it won't hurt if at least I try. 🙂 The birthday celebration is a really good advice, this is the line of thought I'm looking for. 😄 To put it short, the problem is that it would take a huge amount of time scheduling this, at this point it would be more efficient if I just plan a birthday party for him in real life. I have thought about figures based on our characters, and since you suggested it as well, this is definitely on the list of options now. 😄 I have a few backup plans, but in case everything goes south (or in this case, to the Mists), I'll definitely take this route and look around, maybe I can find a way to make some 3D prints. I still have a lot of time, after all.
  8. Hi Tyrians, Before I start, I have to say that I know, it is a silly idea, but it wouldn't hurt to try to ask around about it. 🙂 I already made contant about this topic with the customer support, but they cannot help as they are not part of the development team. However, they advised to create a topic about this matter here, so maybe it will receive some attention and/or feedback and suggestions. Every idea is greatly appreciated! My best friend and I will be 30 years old this year. He will celebrate his birthday in October, while mine will be in December. He likes creative gifts, and when I started to think about it, I realized that one of the very first games we played together was Guild Wars 1 back in high school almost 16 years ago. When Guild Wars 2 launched, we jumped into it, and got really fond with the setting of the game, we even wrote hundreds of pages of fan-fiction over the years. The protagonists in those stories were almost always the same, our main characters: a mysterious sylvari mesmer, whose overflowing curiosity and strange actions sometimes (always) caused trouble for everyone around her, and a sly, grumpy, greedy asura guardian, who gladly pushed others into a trap, to grab the treasure for himself, but his heart was actually in the right place, when his decisions really mattered. We got very fond of the duo, and even when we don't play, we regularly mention them in our conversations, because we simply love the lore of Tyria, and the endless possibilities of new adventures. While my friend is not playing that regularly anymore, he sometimes still logs into the game and I help him finish some story chapters. Slowly but steadily he is also on the way to craft his first legendary, Nevermore. What I am trying to getting at, is that by taking everything into account, there is actually a perfect gift for his birthday: if he could truly become a tiny part of Tyria. I have some ideas to achieve this: - Put our main characters as NPCs somewhere hidden, without any effects, fancy armors or conversations, they should just simply be recognizable. Why I'm thinking in a duo, is because in the fan-fictions, the two characters were mostly shown together. - Put a simple human NPC into the game (maybe Divinity's Reach?), which has my friend's first name. I already checked the wiki and there wasn't a match for this name, so maybe it could work. - Mention his or our characters' name in any sorts of in-game text. (Like books, item descriptions, etc.) Is there any way to accomplish something like this? Unfortunately as far as I know, none of these can be achieved without the help of the dev team, so I humbly glancing at them right now, but as I said in the beginning, any other ideas would be also greatly appreciated! 🙂 Maybe there is a way to make something truly unique which I'm not aware about. (And I swear, if we can accomplish something here, I will give gifts to the orphans during the next Wintersday. Yes, the greedy asura is my character.)
  9. Holy Dwayna, that's a lot of test methods there. :smiley: Arenanet replied again, they also asked me to run some tests on my computer. I don't want to mess anything up, so I'll try to follow their lead first, but I'll definitely keep in mind these advices. Thanks!
  10. I try to answer to everyone as best as I could. :smiley: Strangely enough, I have a similar config. Intel i5 6600, 16 GB RAM, MSI GTX 970. Arenanet already answered to my ticket, they asked for a specific log file. I already sent it to them, so we have to wait now, I guess. To be honest, I don't now where or how to use this, but I don't think my characters are stuck in any way. Sometimes I play on my guardian for hours, and nothing happens. Then I log-in another day, and the game crashes after 30-45 minutes. While your first point is interesting, I don't think the issue is that simple. To me it seems the game creates somehow a fatal error, which forces my whole computer to restart. I also very rarily play with my revenant, and I didn't even touch it when both of the crashes came. Also we can't post our error report, because we don't get an error report. :smile: The game freezes, the input is gone, and the computer restarts. No blue screen, no error messages, only a black screen. I checked my other monitor the second time the crash came, and there wasn't any error messages either. Only the black screen. I also considered the opportunity that maybe I have some kind of a hardware issue, but nothing stands out at the moment. My PC has some glass parts, so I can actually see when the fans are rotating faster. They didn't, and my computer was not loud either.The only case when these crashes appeared so far was when I played Guild Wars 2.I use this PC since years, and the game ran without any issue just fine. The problem started on Sunday.I didn't experience any "power-down" at all.
  11. Unfortunately, I have the exact same issue since Sunday. The game freezes, my mouse and keyboard input is gone, then the screen goes black, and my computer restarts. The first appearance was on Bitterfrost Frontier, the second on the Crystal Oasis loading screen. I did not find any connection between the bug, my characters, or the time spent in-game. Sometimes I played for hours, and nothing happened. Then I launched the game today, and I got the crash on the Crystal Oasis loading screen after like 30-45 minutes. I submitted a ticket to Arenanet about this, but I wonder if they will actually look into this in the near future. It does not seem like many people are struggling with this problem. :(
