Guild Wars 2

As of now, the various guild missions are neither fun nor community building. They’re little more than activities that are done once a week (not in the intended way either) for a time gated gear grind.

Guild bounties need to be revamped from the way they are now. Instead of having a list of various targets and having guild members stalk them beforehand, have a bounty start with one target. As the guild kills each target, more time is added to the clock. Have the targets pathing be random in a zone to prevent stalking if you must. Each tier will have different amounts of targets that need to be captured before completing the hunt. However, even after the amount of targets is met, a guild should be allowed to keep on hunting. The more targets that are captured extra rewards (coin/gear/karma/xp) should be given for each. Increase the difficulty on all the targets; more attacks, more phases with different abilities.

Let non guildies receive rewards for participating in a guild bounty. Let them get commendations and event rewards, but not the coin or the guaranteed rares. This would help to build server community and would push solo players into maybe finding a guild they like. For example Rico’s Roughnecks are advertising in LA that they’re going to be firing off a bounty within 10 mins. Come join them in Diessa Plateau and get your commendations (and extra coin/gear/karma/xp for the bonus targets!).

Let bounties be triggerable for 6 hours after the initial start, so people in guild that aren’t online at the time can also participate when they’re awake/home from work/etc.

Guild treks should be set up in the same way and incorporate some elements from guild rushes. Start off with one location and give the guild 3 minutes to have 5 players reach that point. As each target is met, another one pops up and more time is added to the clock. For an individual to get their rewards, they must reach all the targets on the list. For the guild to get the merits, any guild member must reach the targets. If the guild is skilled enough, there would be bonus targets after the minimum and bonus rewards for each one made.

Guild rushes are awesome and done pretty well. I wouldn’t change anything about them except keeping them open for 6 hours so people who aren’t online at the same can participate.
