Guild Wars 2

Since we are all capable of being part of multiple guilds, and cannot participate in chat with more than one guild at a time, I think it would be extremely useful to have an event calendar pane for each guild.

This way, guild leadership could detail the dates and times of guild missions or guild events (dungeon runs, fractals, WvW, games etc.). Players could then manage their game time more effectively and maximize their online fun by representing the guilds that are doing what they wish to participate in at that time.

By limiting our ability to see what our other guilds are up to, many guilds are permanently losing repping members because those members don’t want to miss out on things happening in their primary guilds.

Please consider adding a guild calendar pane to the guild window.

Thank you.

yes, this idea is so very needed. And on the event Calendar you can choose to Opt in or Opt out of that event so the guild has an idea of who is/isn’t coming to that event.

The only issue with this are the kitten guilds that are attendance freaks. Nothing like a guild abusing such a nice feature to put the screws to its members to be repping, online, and there at that event…or you get kicked from the guild, cause now they have a participation tracker.

It would be nice to have some sort of tracking though. At least for the last time someone logged onto the game so dead accounts can be purged from the guild… but that’s another issue.

Another +1.
That should be mandatory of the Guild system. Its a pain to manage stagnant players that just eat up roster space, or have left to Rep another guild leaving yours in the dust.

Hopefully these suggestion forums still get traffic from the game devs. I’d love to hear from them on this topic some day. I honestly think that so many more people would make an effort to log in and play if they could find out the activities being planned in their guilds. Sure, forums can do that function, but so many people just don’t want to bother with all that extra stuff.

I sure hope this sees some traction in game soon. Someone at the anniversary party mentioned similar changes to the guild pane, with a “those are all good suggestions” reply.

Any Anet response? Come on, this is a reasonable expectation in an MMO… especially one where you can’t chat with more than one guild at a time.

I love this idea. I’m an officer in my guild, and I cannot -tell- you how often the lack of functionality within the guild screen has irked me. A calender would be nice, but may be a bit resource heavy. Perhaps a more intrinsic option would be to have “Notifications” similar to steam groups. The guild leader/officer/whatever, as long as they have permissions, would set a date and time (according to server time) for the event, as well as having the option to set reminders an hour to the event or half an hour, etc etc.

Perhaps even go as far as to play a little a pre-written statement in like, let’s say, obnoxious green text in guild chat. One that you could of course check or uncheck in a chat tab as /a for announcements. Having the functionality of something like this would only help the guild system, and really not require -too- much work, apart from coding in a new hexcode for the text color, and setting up a very rudimentary “alarm” system.

Other than that. I’d like to take this opportunity to also say this. Guilds absolutely, unequivocally -need- a “last logged in” function in the guild screen. When managing large guilds, inactive members do nothing but sap space from those who would -like- to join, as well as making new people who see a bunch of members who are never on, think that the guild is dead. My guild has gone so far as to hosting up a google document logbook, because there is such a lack of functionality, it’s next to painful trying to keep track of people without a written record of when they were invited, what characters they usually play on, yadda yadda.
