This could be exclusive GW2 but i would like to see it applied to other games as well tell me your thoughts on this.
This system saves the economy which I think its dead. Its either dirt cheap everything or the god awful expensive legendaries, creates an end game, and builds huge community the potential to be bigger than anything WoW ever had.
When you follow the personal story and its done and you are left with nothing else but PvP you go around collecting asthetics getting the legendaries…which is just insane. I always thought that maybe having a guild house to display accomplishments was always a good addition no one ever runs with that idea. A place for your guild to hang out bring a new initiate to show off your skills (bosse’s heads on the wall etc.) it would only take up a little bit more on the servers for that.
Your guild only gives you a sense of end game to me its being bonded then being the best that wayI think it would be cool with shadow behemuts head on the wall it shows team effort and triumph and skill. And in this way add a raid system with higher difficulty and it would increase game population.
1 raid, factals is over and over, 1 higher level difficulty of behemut hes a single boss in the marshes an event for the guild instanced like story mode to distinguish the guilds. They had the right idea for the story of the guild wars they should cash in on that idea they are sitting whats great community and that’s always something I wanted. You could even display swords from defeated humanoid bosses…
“But Shrilly how would people know your awesome outside the guild?” Guild wide armor sets for the elites better looks of course you could try doing this solo also, but different armor looks for solo play. Thats whats good about the system its very versatile your guild house can start off as a shack or hut. Or better idea it starts off as land the guild can purchase through coin. Then through resource gathering throughout the world (a system you already have in place for crafting) you can start building a small house with your resources. Then when you get a mansion or estate build land around the house to farm resources in mass and use them in WvW (better castle defenses building a small tower for defense etc.)
The extra resources your guild’s farms and lumber yards spends it is used to build up your castles in WvW to make you PvP heroes and you can even build a tower to help defend a point or tower that adorns your guild banner and colors so they know who to fear on the battlefield and who are the top dogs the better guild the better skilled guild. It would take awhile to get these resources so why not make it like real life where resources is the power that’s why we war in the first place that’s where true power lies. Make your guilds men better crafters through guild effort and when you have an estate of a guild house farming a good amount of resources use it as another mechanic in WvW to build an arrow tower or a spy tower with recources from the guild’s farming. You could even have friendly duels in the guild yards and grounds To teach skills to initiates or hone the guilds PvP skills(your instanced guild house remember its instanced like a story mode you go in portal then go to your guild house) Go to war with other guilds using the GvG battlegrounds! Wage war and gain alliances!
Your guild can have a personal story too and the route it takes and it personalizes itself with the choices the guild makes. Either the leader debates with the guild on the choices like does the leader make the decisions or it is voted in etc. and its like democracy decision. So your guild can feel real and part of the game.
It needs to be guild based it would build community (obviously) create a middle ground in the economy (guild items to trade etc.) and create an end-game!
And I didnt touch up on Warbands make an arena team then have them a club house where they can show off there more 1v1 and pvp oriented skills showing off how good they work as a team
People aren’t leaving more or less for lack of content they are just getting bored with nothing to do after 80. this fixes that and builds upon everything else the game already has in place! This would be completely epic to me I would pay monthly for this.
