Talk:Guild Wars login announcements/1

Genesis
This is just to see how it would look on wikipaper. Would we be willing to maintain it? If not, axe it away. I won't cry. Much. --Ishmaeel .ping ; .peek; 19:23, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Name it "Guild Wars client announcements" or "Guild Wars login announcements" or something. --Fyren 19:25, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Aye. Something like that.--[[Image:lazyeyes.png]]Ishmaeel .ping ; .peek; 19:26, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I've been wanting this for a while, I think I suggested it on the Main Page's discussion page a while go. Perhaps if it can be maintained if can go there in future. --Xasxas256 19:28, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Agreed. I think it's a good idea, worthy of the mainpage. Especially seeing as you can only see it before you log in and I'd rather get right to it than muddle around the login screen. I don't even notice new ones until the second before I reach character select. Should we keep old announcement? Probably not seeing as they no longer effect the game. But we might want something like that for reference purposes. So people could refer to green drop weekend or whatever and people could see what it was about. &mdash; [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]]Rogue  19:29, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I'd like to see only the current announcements on the front page. Older announcements must be archived as soon as they drop from the login screen, methinks. BTW, Jedi, I know exactly what you mean -- I use -password for autologin so whenever I notice something new, I have to log out to see what it has to say and then manually log back in. --[[Image:lazyeyes.png]]Ishmaeel .ping ; .peek; 19:38, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Plural
This is not an article about announcements are, it is a list of those announcements. By WP's naming scheme, it would be a "List of ..." article, but we don't seem to do that (usually, there's the anomalies page). --Fyren 06:44, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

propose for linking this in the menu bar
I would propose that this article should be linked in the menu bar at the left side (as part of the news section), because often there are information in the login announcement, that do not find there way into the normal Guild Wars news. Balwin 15:19, 17 June 2007 (CDT)


 * I'm all for it, because I use the game updates link all the time, and having the log-in announcements would also help becuase I often forget the details of the Weekend Event, and Wiki is always up on my taskbar when I play GW. Nhnowell 11:10, 21 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Also agree M s4 11:15, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Done. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:46, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Double Luxon/Kurzick Title Points
To clarify the double alliance title points weekend...
 * 1,000 faction for Jadeite/Amber/Passage Scrolls gives 2,000 points toward the title
 * 3,000 faction for a Kurzick/Luxon skill gives 12,000 title points
 * 5,000 Faction Transfer gives 20,000 title points

Since the skills and transfer already doubles your usage, the "double points" name could be misleading. Krenn 08:04, 27 June 2007 (CDT)


 * F-f-f-five..thousand f-factions donated...i-is...t-t-twentyth-thousand?

Call an ambulance, I'm fainting in 3 seconds. ~Yikey


 * Nice move. Otherwise, it would be a long time before some of us could get to see the new skillz. Even with the new first tier. --–Ishmaeel[[Image:lazyeyes.png]] ping/peek 08:55, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Sweet! Copper Elf 09:59, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Another title working weekend....Max Ally of the Luxons title this wekeend. Or Maybe Kurz....24.61.22.75 18:36, 27 June 2007 (CDT)


 * I believe that is incorrect for the 3k. It should only grant you 6k title points for this weekend. Only the 5k allegiance pledge yields double, and for this weekend, quadruple what you earned. --Vortexsam 22:48, 27 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Gonna FF for about 72 hours this weekend =D - Skakid9090 23:19, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Skills cost 3,000 but add 6,000 to your allegiance track, so 12,000 for the weekend is correct. --Kale Ironfist 23:20, 27 June 2007 (CDT)


 * OMGWTF - NICE1! :o --Grethort 10:39, 28 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Oh really? I have a hard time finding the game update that doubled skills to 6k towards title track. Was it a hidden update? --Vortexsam 16:02, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You'll have a hard time because it was never updated to do so. When they introduced the skills, it was already like that. --Kale Ironfist 19:12, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Apparently they realized that donating to the alliance cost more faction for a smaller benefit towards the title track, thanks to 3k donations netting you 6k progress. I wasn't very surprised to see that change. -Gildan Bladeborn 11:17, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

overload
FFF.... overload.... - Skakid9090 19:42, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

I have a new key
Why is the "I Have a Key" still on the page. It isn't on the login page, and I don't recall seeing it recently?--QSECOFR 18:56, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * But it IS there, I'm looking at it right this second. Which server do you play on? Perhaps it's a regional thing? –Ishmaeel[[Image:lazyeyes.png]] ping/peek 21:32, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Maybe it only shows up if you don't have all 3 campaigns. Are you missing one? --Gimmethegepgun 12:24, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Nope. I have all three campaigns. I don't have any extras (slots, packs, million ed.) though. I log-on to Euro servers, BTW. –Ishmaeel[[Image:lazyeyes.png]] ping/peek 12:31, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

I suggest getting rid of the two at the bottom that are always there and just using the ones that appear every so often, that way it's more relevant. Good idea though, comes in useful as I use the -password and only get to see a flash of them. Stone Mort 17:36, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't see the I have a new key. 67.162.10.70 12:45, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Could you please add more details about your account so we can try to figure out what's going on? Server? Campaigns? Add-ons? –Ishmaeel[[Image:lazyeyes.png]] ping/peek 12:50, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I dont have it, 1 full unlock account and 1 with just nf. Maybe it detected that i had a full unlock. Ishmaeel what is your account status? -- Xeon 13:54, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
