Guild Wars 2

Some suggestions to the claimed points system:

Reward Guilds for Holding Points – As of right now a guild has to spend their possibly hard earned influence on upgrading the point they control and there is not reward in return (other than the buff itself). Maybe it would be nice if any even that took place at that point earned influence for the guild holding it. Maybe if that is too much influence then just automatically increase the influence guild members earn around their controlled tower.

Customize the Point – It would be cool to have a bit more customization to the points other than just the banners on display. Possible something simple like a few wall styles to chose between or what the supply areas look like at the point. Something that players will start to recognize and associate with specific guilds (allies and enemies).

Show on Map – Might be nice to show on the world map which points are under control by guilds and what guild has it. Something simple like the icon displays a small star on it. Also if you mouse over a point that is currently controlled it would display the buffs it is currently offering.

Guild Benefiting Upgrades – When a guild holds onto a specific point for and extended period of time they should get something out of it because it isn’t easy to hold things for an extended period of time. Maybe something simple like all items purchased from the merchants(like siege ones that you get from upgrading) give 10% of the cost to the guild bank. In points that don’t allow upgrading merchants add some sort of merchant upgrade.

What are other peoples though on how to make the point claiming system a bit more exciting and rewarding to use. As far as I can tell right now the only point you see it used on much in the occasional supply point for +5 supply and on the castle.

I don’t know how feasible these are, but they sound reasonable. These does need to be more ways to benefit from WvW

Yes, guilds should have more benefits for claiming objectives.

Awesome ideas! Just to add on to the whole rewarding people thing, why do the ruins not reward people for standing around as well? It’s a rather simple solution to encouraging smaller group play over the large zergs when you get rewarded for guarding stuff.

I think the main reason they don’t give out anything is because of how they slowly diminish over time. This would allow people to capture a point and then step out and wait for it to drain then recapture (capturing). There isn’t any reason they can’t have a defend event for them that would reward players similar to how other WvW locations have it. Bloodlust is a fairly new mechanic and will probably get tweaked a bit before it reaches its final place in the game. However that is another discussion in itself.

I suggest a golem garage that can be erected as an upgrade which can be used to repair golems.

You drive the golem in and then a SLOW, automatic process happens where the golem is repaired by NPCs over the course of an hour or so.

Perhaps a siege workshop where you can upgrade individual pieces of siege in various ways.
