Hi Anet!
Not even sure if this will get our or even be considered but due to all the time I have spent slaving away in WvW in hopes for the new changes, I would like to suggest some interesting ideas that could easily bring together the competitive/hardcore player base WvW is looking for.
A bit about me, I’ve been leading and managing one of the biggest WvW International guilds in (NA) since release and since my time on the borderlands I’ve come to understand a great deal of WvW and how it is operated. Without further to do, I have listed a few innovative, simple, and intuitive ideas that could greatly benefit the guild demographic in WvW commitment!
Guild Benifits & Claiming
- Guild Keep/Tower ownership banners displayed guild name while highlighted.
- Fortification NPC mobs with “guild decals” exe. Veteran “Guild name” Guard.
- Guild chat notification when claimed fortification is under attack
- A specific enemy tag color when in proximity to the defending guild “Purple tags instead of RED”
- Special Icons above guild defenders? Possibly guild logo + shield?
- Increased influence/exp/karma/gold while holding down fortifications, minimum base bonus over time and grows according to how many guild defenders are present during a rappel.
I feel like the top 2 alone will bring more reason for guilds to get more involved. Sucks holding/upgrading/investing hours on end without any recognition whatsoever besides a unknown guild emblem.
Thank you Anet if this is at all in consideration! I’ve spent several hours talking among my fellow guild (400+ active WvW members) and we’ve all decided that these modifications could do wonders in this game mode!
Much thanks and great work!
