I really like guild gameplay. Specially when you’re part of good and helpful guild.
But i’d really like to see more guild related content in the game(it is called Guild Wars after all). So here’s my list of ideas, if any of them has already been suggested i’m sorry. None of these ideas are carved in stone so please help with your suggestions as well. And sorry for the huge post every one.
1 – Guild Halls
I know these are a well known feature in Guild Wars 1 and it is most certainlly coming but i think it should be more than just a place to have fun with your guild mates. It should be a place you always want to go and do different kinds of stuff so here’s how i think it shoul be:
Guild Halls should not be instanced, they should take place inside a small city or village that already exists in the world, you would enter it like you enter the orders HQs. Why? First, it looks really cool to be out there in the world and you see your Guild Hall and you guild’s emblem all over a town. Second, both the guild and the town would benefit from it. The city would be protected by the guild members most of the time and the guild members would get benefits like selling stuff for more money.
“But there’ll be no place for every single guild in high populated servers” it’s what you are thinking. That’s why guild would be able to compete for those places. A guild that doesn’t have a open world guild hall would have an instanced one. If they want those benefits they challenge a guild that already has it for the dominion of the city. The challenge would take place in an instanced area so there can be no interference from outsiders. and it would work like fighting over a keep or tower in WvW.
Other benefits from guilds being inside cities would be guild jobs( have to think of a better name. Inside the Guild Hall there would be a job board where people from the city you are located would post daily job requests for the guild members to take. These jobs would be divided into three tiers.
Tier 1 jobs – Would trigger an event chain in the world so anyone can participate, but members of the guild would recieve slightly increased rewards and the guild would get a small amount of influence. There would be about four or five of these jobs daily.
Tier 2 jobs – Would be instance like a story event(maybe even have some cutscenes) and you would nedd a group of five to ten people. Here’s an example: Once the job is taken and the group is set, you are taken to a cutscene where a man comes inside your guild hall and says the centaurs kidnapped his daughter. So you and your guild mates would be led like it happens in the story events. Players would be rewarded with a fair amount of money, influence and there would be a chest in the end.
Tier 3 jobs – Would work like the tier 2 but much bigger and would require a group of 10 to 15 people.These events could take place inside the an instance mini dungeon. This would be an option for people who want instaced content for large groups of people.
2 – Guild Upgrades
When we get guild halls there should be a whole lot of guild upgrades like having crafting stations inside the guild hall, a free waypoint, buying a trining ground for the spvp guilds.
What do you guys think?
