Guild Wars 2

GW2 is great and the WvW/PvP systems are quite fantastic, the PVE however seems a bit lacking currently in that groups disallow for alliance formations within the same faction for events (Aion by NC/GW1) which would negate the current GW2 system of requiring players to pick and choose which guild they wish to represent effectively cutting them off from communications that might be going on in their non represented guilds.

In addition, non reps tend to be the first ones kicked to make room for those who would rather represent. Why not simply bring back the GW1 Alliance system which encompassed a chat channel and an alliance tab which did not exclude anyone and showed all members of the alliance?

When in Open world PvE/WvW it would be nice to have an (option) to show ones guild members on map not just those in a party formation as those are currently limited to the inadequate number of 5 with no option to ally with other parties which would increase cohesion and more of a group feel.

As instances as well as events currently scale in difficulty based on how many participants are taking place in them (yes they do which is nice) might it be possible to expand current party limitation from 5 to 8 (like GW1) which would go a long way toward changing it from its current state (Clique Wars 2) and bring it more into the realm of an inclusive experience which would help to eliminate the current setup which seems to promote elitist cliques who don’t tend to venture outside of the same few people they group with again and again for the same events again and again.

Just some thoughts.

Very good points, I think all would enhance everyone’s gameplay and make the game more appealing to new people and help them learn

I agree. It’s very difficult to encourage group play when you are cut off from communications with non-represented guilds. Also, the group size is very limiting. I would love to be able to see where all my guild members (or alliance members please!) are on the map without having to link waypoints. Love the game! Love the suggestions even more!

Yes, some way for more then 5 players to game together, at the same time, is very necessary.

Yes, I would like Alliances to come back.

I agree with this. Dungeons could even be made to scale for groups from 5 – 8.

I also think that in PvE you should be able to purchase an upgrade for your guild leader and then your guild officers that allow them to form large parties for big PvE guild event nights and such…
