Guild Wars 2

I know this is a long way off, but I thought of an interesting twist to GvG.

When the game finally implements guild halls, there can be a mode for guilds to issue a challenge, where a challenging guild can then invade their guild hall. The two sides can then battle it out, and the last guild with members left standing will receive a prize according to an incentive set at the start, say gold (or maybe even items), along with something extra for survivors and the victorious guild.

This could be an interesting way for guilds to settle rivalries, or just compete in fun and interesting match-ups. There can perhaps even be a GvGvG match-up.

So, a deathmatch type GvG?

I’m not clear if you know that a form of GvG already exists from GW1

I’m well aware of that, which is why I called it an interesting twist to GvG.

I do know that GW2 can have more than one way to GvG, don’t you? They can definitely bring back the previous modes, but I thought this might make a fun addition to those ones.

Well challenging a guild to a battle is nothing new so that would be a given, that’s why I wasn’t sure… maybe you should be more specific and simply put deathmatch GvG

Izzy said they don’t want to add more pvp modes because wahhh they are too hard to add content to so I doubt anything more than one mode would be in the game.

Let me explain it a bit better.

Guild Red gathers their members in the guild hall, then “marks” the guild as ready for an invasion, while placing something like 100g up for grabs. Guild blue accepts the challenge and then every member of Blue receives the option to invade Red.

The battle will unfold in Red’s guild hall, where members of Blue can invade any time, so long as the invasion goes on. Blue needs to kill all of Red’s members present in the guild hall, including NPCs. If someone dies, that player won’t be allowed to join in the invasion or defense until ran its course. Anyone who joins the game while an invasion is going on, or wants to finish a DE or something first can do so, and join in at any time.

If Blue clears all of the Red members present in the guild hall, Blue will receive the 100g. If Red successfully defends their guild hall, they will receive 100g from Blue. Anyone who participated will receive some karma, while the winning team receives double and survivors receive triple.

That was sort of the idea. There are no matched numbers or anything like that, and the loser stands to actually lose something. It’s more chaos than an organized sPvP match-up.

Oh, wagers. Yeah that would be awesome… sorry for confusion.

Even better if you could put items like you said, anything you want, it would help guild community tremendously for holding competitive events.

But still, only one version of GvG will make it in. And this wouldn’t be ‘e-sports’ enough to win vs the original GvG.

Since they have made it obvious they don’t want to add a lot of modes, only one is going to make it in, and it WILL be competitive and as balanced as possible. (whatever that means… balance in this game is w/e) so even though this sounds cool it would never make it unless your wager idea made its way in for a non tournament version like how spvp has hotjoin and tourny parties.

I think the important feature was not the wager, but the fact that it occurs in one of their guild halls, the fact that it acts as a GvG “siege” of sorts.
