Guild Wars 2

Hey ANet,

As a large guild, we have problems where members are starting Rushes, Challenges, Puzzles, etc. earlier than the guild would like them to. This can cause them to fail (especially with challenges), and can cause members to get frustrated as they don’t get to the start in time. We’ve done kicks in the past and made it clear to members not to activate it, but we still get the occasional troll messing it all up.

What we’d like to happen is that only members with Mission Control in their permissions are able to start Rushes, Challenges and Puzzles.

With bounties, it’s understandable as when you’ve got 3 minutes left for example, you want anyone to be able to activate it if there’s a small group there. However, even with the above suggestion, it’d be as easy as giving members ‘Mission Control’ temporarily so they can start it.

Ideally, we’d love to be able to set controls for each guild mission, but for now, just making sure that Rushes, Challenges and Puzzles can’t be started without ‘Mission Control’ would be great!

Thanks.

This is a great idea. It will save a lot of guilds a lot of headaches in the future.

Agreed Jay great suggestion

Yeah, not having control over it hurts the players

+1 Great idea.

Yes, I totally agree with this.

Yeah my Guild had people start it early a few times. We laid down the law no one gets in melee range of the shiny or it’s gkick. One of our more prominent members decided to be funny and go dance on it.

They are no longer in the Guild. We haven’t had an issue with people screwing around near the shiny since

Jay you’re a god. totally agree with this

A technical solution to this problem would be preferable to kicking guild members who have clicked on something they should have left alone! Totally agree with Jay.

I agree with this suggestion.

So glad I’m not in your guild, sheesh.

We have had the same issue. We have had Rushes and Challenges fail for this reason. Please only allow people with permission to start the event in the Guild Panel to actually activate the Gold Shiny, it would sort out the issue.. We have ended up having to do exactly the same thing, sit on the Shiny and kick any Guild member that gets close.

Guild Rush, Challenge and probably Puzzle (ours unlocks Sunday) Gold flags should only be able to be activated by Officers

Also Accepting that a Rush is completed for the Guild should only be able to be done by the Officers. We have got to the Rush to find that another Guild is doing it and had 3 or 4 mins left. Guild member runs it without telling the guild. Accept Window comes up, someone Accepts it, the Rush is wasted for the entire guild.

We have had to do the same. In our case it was only for the time of the Rush (then he got reinvited). But sometimes it’s the only way to get people to listen.

But we should never have been put in the situation where it was necessary. Non-Officers should not be able to start Rushes and Challenges.

Good idea. Maybe add a checkbox on the guild ranking option that permits certain ranks to be able to activate guild mission.

I support this suggestion

agree completely!

This is a great idea. Please add this feature in a future patch!

That being said it was a person that had been causing drama as well the previous few weeks. Flaunting the leadership’s rule was just the last straw. I guess it was fortunate that the Joker happened to be someone already trying the guilds patience. Dont want my guild to seem that heartless. But when you have 300+ members with at least half that on any given night, you tend to have to be strict with enforcing rules.
