Actual "Guild Wars" in Guild Wars 2
Guild Forts (Guild Halls) could add a more “visual” representation to the Guild Upgrades tab, more interaction, less click the screen. And being able to fight for other Guild’s forts, would be fun, and plus, it is “Guild Wars” 2 right?
It’s “Guild Wars” because of the lore. The “guild” as group of players could be aslo called “clan” or whaterver, but the true Guild Wars are (nowadays) far history… the battle between three factions.
It’s like saying that there should be permanent QQ in the FarCry :P BUT CoD players are QQing so much more! :P
‘Guildwars’ has to do with a historic event called the guild wars. In these events (before the timesetting of guildwars 1) human (npc) guilds where fighting eachother.
These wars are not playable content and never have been (with the exception off an april fools game thats a parody on the movie back to the future).
I think you mean the pvp – content called guild vs guild in gw1. Please dont mix those terms up!
I think an adaptation for guild vs guild fights in current pvp maps would be a nice addition.
Also Devs never respond to suggestions. This has not to do with being rude or not being interested. They read everything (or so they are claiming). As I understand it has to with copyright issues. If they comment on it, it would confirm that they have readed it and the person making such a suggestion could claim copyright over it.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
You people are wasting your time trying to convince the PvP gankheads on here that Guild Wars refers to the lore. They simply aren’t interested.
I heard somewhere the lore about ‘The Guild Wars’ was just a afterthought, they already chose the name ‘Guild Wars’ because it was a PvP-only game and later they decided to add PvE.
I think that idea is great, though. If you don’t want to fight you can un-rep the guild, or add a option to leave the guild wars as you please.
+1 for Guild Halls and GvG, as always.
The only good way I see to add “Guild Wars” is by bringing back actual GvG, with a small 8v8 version of WvW. Two towers with three doors each, three camps that produce supply, three main routes between the two towers, and several spots with other resources scattered in the map like siege ammo, pieces of siege materials, repair kits for siege and doors and such. Then one Champion lord and a few more NPCs that can be improved and revived with supply and even sent to the enemy locations to distract them. The objective: defeat the enemy lord.
As for guild halls, as the Battle Isles are out of commission, the Zaishen should strike a deal with Dessa and create Guild Fractals. Pieces of the mists players can contract for their guild to use, after their guild works together to stabilize a fractal by successfully completing some epic guild-wide event and pay a one-time merit and influence fee for the equipment and resources used to keep it in a stabilized state. You pay up front for the try, but you get a 90% merit and influence refund if you can’t complete the event.
