Guild Wars 2

• Guild Mission Control – It would be nice if this actually prevented people without it from triggering an on going mission. As it is people without it can trigger a mission which can screw over people who haven’t arrived.
• Last Logged In – This should be shown for all members in the Guild Roster
• Last Repped – This should be shown for all members in the Guild Roster
• Activate on Build Completion – Helpful for guilds who have buffs setup to run full time. Could be a toggle perhaps?
• Message Of The Day – Show this in chat on login so everyone can see it.
• Fix History Auditing – Guild History will sometimes hide behind “…” for hours or days at a time making it impossible to see what happened.
• Don’t clear Guild chat when switching between characters repping the same guild.
• Guild Megaphone – Would send an announcement to all guild members (repping or otherwise) would be useful for arranging guild missions or events. This message would flash across screen like update notices or invasion notices (maybe a different color though)
• Map Guild Megaphone – Like above but only works for guild members on the same map.
• Better Guild Roster ordering – It would be nice to see all non-repping members below the repping members but above offline members.
• Tagged Guild Chat – Let’s you see/chat with any of your guilds maybe using things like /guild1 /guild2 /guild3 etc to organize them.
• Improved Guild Bank Levels – Add additional permissions to use the deepcave instead of just using the same permissions as trove.
• Guild Wide Mail – The ability to send a mass email to all guild members online and offline for use as guild notices.

U have many good suggestions! Me as a Guild leader would have gppd use of the following:

- Last logged in.
- Last repped.
- Message of the day as u describe it.
- “dont clear the Guild chat….”
- both types of Guild Megaphones.
- The improved Guild Roster order.
- Guild wide mail.

Those would be very useful improvements that I would have really good use of! It would help us to each out to our members and bring them together to do things:)

All the above, as well as system message when a member logs in.

All fantastic ideas, I run a smaller guild and personally the MOTD hitting the chat on login or change would be a huge step toward actually using the MOTD.

In addition, guildmail would be very welcome, perhaps with a visually distinct mail icon (use the guild shield icon seen on other things?)

Deja vu… I think I’ve read these same suggestions 50 times since Beta weekends without a single change in 13 months. I thought if different posters suggested the same things over and over it might garnish some attention.

I’ve simply come to realize that player input means pretty much zip in the grand scheme of things.

many good ideas, the megaphone seems a bit abuseable though.

Devon Carter (wvw dev) already stated that Anet doesn’t give a f*** about their player responses, only numbers of people quitting various activities (dungeons, wvw, pvp etc). They don’t consider it broken until it’s been abandoned.

The way I see it is as long as this thread can be kept on the front page long enough then perhaps Anet will actually pay attention. Sure it’s optimistic, but the least we can do is try and hope that someone at Anet sees the purpose behind having these sort of things. Even if it takes a year before they implement them (such as with the LFG feature) these are all features that should be considered for future updates. They improve functions of what could easily be considered a vital part of the game. (After all the game is called “GUILD” Wars, and most of these are features that I personally feel should have been there from day one anyways.

So if you actually support these ideas I say feel free to post here supporting them or giving your own ideas for features that would be useful to the existing guild system. I know a lot of people want things such Capes and Guild Halls etc, but I don’t feel that’s what this thread should be for. It’s more for functionality of guilds that could be improved to improve quality of life within the game.

It could be abuse-able. If the megaphones were to be added I feel like there’d need to be a permission for a user in the guild to be able to use it. Otherwise it’d just take one bad seed to screw with the entire guild. But it’d still be extremely useful if it was something you could use during things like guild missions.

On our own missions for example when we do bounties we use terms like slow dps or stop dps to attempt to control the flow damage done to the bounty since we only do the bounties for commendations. If a bounty gets triggered early we want everyone to tag once and stop dps that way all members of the guild can tag it for the reward before we kill it. But since a lot of people do not pay attention to the chat you get about 15 people shouting “STOP DPS” while all the people not paying attention to chat keep attacking. This leads us to having to do two or even three bounties sometimes even though we’d rather do the one then move on to the next mission.
