Guild Wars 2

So there’s a few reasons for the post.

1). I think a lot of us can agree, as a Guild Leader, I personally want everyone to represent my Guild, and there shouldn’t be multiple Guilds.

2). Alliance options would be excellent for the game for WvW, it was in GW1, even though I never played GW1, I’ve heard it worked really well, that way it gets rid of the need to be in 5 different Guilds, and you can just all talk to your friends from other Guilds in Alliance chat.

3). Personally I think the Alliance chat would also show a lot of people in the game that join a good WvW Guild, PvE Guild, etc. That they are apart of something larger than just map chat, whispers, and guild chat.

I also think Guilds need more permissions for their ranks, like mixing in inviting people to the guild with admin lower ranks is just idiotic. I think it would be good for even having Officer chat within the guild. An in-game calender at least for Guilds would be beneficial, especially for Guild Events that a Guild may want to run.

this i like and vote.
also for alliance system it would be nice the choice to set a percentage of influence to go to the alliance so each guild in the alliance gain influence even if players doing events don’t represent your guild. this could keep players in one guild while everyone benefit from them.
also guild calendar or mini forum or something in game so people don’t have to swap windows to check news.
for example i have the ts information in my message of the day but i would rather keep that in some other page in the guild tab so i can set the message of the day with events we are planning or viceversa… but i think a calendar would be great.
i hate the idea to force my guildies into subscribe a forum just for the sake of events even stupid ones like guild dance parties or snapshots!
i want them to play not to read a forum

Amadan, great additions! I totally agree, and I could see how those could work out well!

Hopefully this post gets scene by the devs! It wouldn’t be too hard for them to code a calender :P

i think they surely have something in mind for guilds. let’s hope in the future we can have these nice feature implemented

I would love all of these, officer chat the most… something that’s basic and would be nice to have.

i know it’s already been asked for but a send mail to guild feature would be awesome

Amadan.9451:

That is a definite feature they need to add! I had that I get suppressed after sending like 3 things of mail. To send a mass “newsletter” to a guild would help, especially to arrange guild meetings

Oml-Yes please. 100000 times please. I would break my back for anet to add alliance chat. That solves 3 of the biggest guild problems right now.

1 Representation errors~We have no idea how long or when people represent us. That said, in my guild at least there are like 20 guildies who are never representing us. They only mildly show up when they want something-otherwise they are running with there huge WvW guild(which my guild does not yet support). With alliance chat, and hopefully even better-diffrent alliance catagory chats. That would be solved.

Imagine we have 3 alliances, two are WvW guilds who are huge and have many other guilds melded with them. Well- the third guild is a small time splinter group of our own.

Well we can catagorize in our guild a “WvW” alliance tab-and there all aliance chat from those two guilds will go. Whereass all the aliance chat from our other guild can go into our “Spliter Alliance” tab. Organized, and neat, and effective.

2. This alows people to be in other guilds and not feel guilty about never giving their other guilds influence. Stay with the guild you like and represent them-Talk to your other friends in the alliance chat.

3.It does not outcast people who are Solo-guilders, so they can still enjoy the functions of having friendly guilds, but they dont have to reliquish their desires to be independent.

Anet had one of the best/simple and unique guild set ups in gw1~It’s a suprise to me they did not utalize it more in gw2. No one complained about guilds in gw1-No one. It was simply way to good and Intuitive.

I would love an alliance chat. Specially for us the guys at Gaiscioch

Alliances? Yes please!

This would also help a lot of the smaller guilds along with their bounties so that multiple guilds could organize their bounties together.

I think that Anet has to have some of your other ideas in the works also. At the moment guilds leave a lot to be desired as far as organization goes.

I’ve heard a couple other ideas mentioned before also. One is last login time, or maybe last time they represented could be shown in the guild panel.

Another one I was thinking would be a way to rank how much influence a player has earned for the guild.

More tools to manage large guilds pls -

Date the member joined
Time since they last played
These 2 are becoming imperative to managing numbers.

And I like as mentioned above – amount of influence the member has contributed!
