Guild Wars 2

Here’s a little something I’ve just been brainstorming about:

What if people were able to construct siege tents in WvW?

A tent would serve pretty much as a WvW structure, but it could be placed anywhere in a WvW zone (as long as it isn’t inside or very close to another (friendly) WvW structure).

Tents would be small, siege like objects that need 100 supply to be built, and when completed it would bear the flag of the guild that originally placed that tent.

By itself, a tent would do nothing. However, when ‘controlling’ the tent via (F), a person would be able to choose from a set of upgrades to transform a tent into one of several types (possibly only the person who placed the tent would be able to do this, to counter griefing).

Possible upgrades would be (some more overpowered than others, read/interpret these ideas with an open mind):

1. Medical Tent – Grants increased healing power and constant regeneration to everyone in its radius
2. Reinforcement Tent – Allows allies to spawn on the tent as if it were a waypoint. Spawning there would cost a slight amount of money.
3. Tactical Planning Tent – Grants a bonus to all stats to everyone in its radius.
4. Supply Tent – Slowly generates supplies that allies can pick up

Etc etc.

Feel free to add your own ideas as well if you want.

Possibly Tents would be a guild upgrade only structure, and you would require a certain level of the Guild Architecture upgrade to be able to construct tents.

Sounds like a cool Idea.

Guild tents to enable guild buffs on the battlefield :o

A medical tent sounds fine.
Waypoint tent is so overpowered. Considering the costs of upgrading a keep to have a waypoint, a 100 supply tent should not have such an option.
Tactical planning tent. Possible.
Supply tent. No. Supply camps are supposed to be the life force of WvW. With this you’d get someone spam tents for mass production of supply which if defended right, would be a huge deal.

You’ve got a point about the supply tent.

As for the waypoint, consider that those waypoints are made inside a defended keep, while a tent would be out in the open and an easy target.

But thats the thing. The waypoints are in keeps, set locations on the map that can easily be “under attack” to render the waypoint contested. And costs 1.5g as a tier 3 upgrade.

A tent can be anywhere, harder to contest (is small) and cheap. People will find places for their tents that are easy to spawn on, easy to defend but lets a zerg move all over the map.

Pity i have to agree supply tents would be way overpowered, would make life too easy.
Same for the waypoint tent tbh.

Actually, the supply tent idea still could work, only don’t have it be able to self-generate supplies but rather a place where players can drop / remove supplies. This would allow multiple people to carry the supplies to that seige location, and have a few designated people do all of the building.

The WB tent is VERY OP.

I like everyting else about this idea. I would love to see more items added to WvW.

Really fun idea!
