We are Team Ignition, a ‘fight guild’ based around the (upcoming) Guild Hall’s Arenas. For us, a ‘fight guild’ means that the guild is mainly focussed on organised small scale fights (versus other guilds) as well as ‘tournaments’ with our own guild members. All of this will be held in our own Guild Hall’s Arena. We are still a WvW guild and will advertise as that but won’t require someone to move over to Gandara if they don’t want to. Of course, if you wish to play WvW with the majority of the players then moving to Gandara is the way to go.
The guild is server-wide (EU) but our home server is Gandara. Since most of our activity will be in the Guild Halls, we don’t need to be on the same server together. Still, if players wish to play WvW together it’s great to be on Gandara. The size of the guild is between 15 to 50 players. By having a decent size we can ensure we got enough players for 2v2-5v5 fights versus other guilds as well as frequent participation in the weekly tournaments held in the guild itself. Since we also want to do PvP and raiding, having a larger size than the usual roaming guild would be very beneficial to us.
Fighting other Guilds!
This is basically what Team Ignition has done in the past but this time far more organised. With the introduction of the Guild Hall Arena we can schedule fights versus other guilds (2v2-5v5) as we can invite players into our Guild Hall that aren’t in the current World vs World matchup. This means we can fight ANY GUILD at ANY TIME which allows us to set up so many more fights in comparison to before Heart of Thorns. Especially since with the release of Heart of Thorns, you will probably see far more players playing the game and thus more people interested in these fights!
Tournaments
This will be something like a weekly 2v2 tournament where you get randomly matched with a guildie and battle together for first place which earns you a gold prize. For example if 16 people were to sign up for this, you would have eight teams. Each player would have to pay 1g and battle the other teams. The team that ends up on top wins the ‘pool’ of money. Meaning the winning team can split 16g between each other. A gold prize is optional of course but it could spice things up a bit to make things more interesting. This is great to increase the overall skill level as well as teamwork.
Group Roaming
While we are allowing members to join from different servers, we are established on the Gandara server. This means that if you wish to roam with other remembers, it’s important you are on Gandara. Group roaming can be both a casual as well as ‘hardcore’ experience although if you really like to play competitively, the GvGs will be far more competitive than the roaming experience.
PvP Matches
We are not excluding PvP all together. There are going to be times that World vs World is boring, there are no scheduled GvGs and no one feels like dueling in the arena, you can go play PvP together. Even though we are primarily a WvW guild, PvP can still be fun every once and a while. It simply won’t be the main focus.
PvE Raiding
While we prefer the PvP/WvW of Guild Wars 2, PvE raiding is still great to do for ascended gear, gold, improving in communication and playing better (even if it is just versus monsters). It’s by no means going to be the focus of the guild but since there is a timer of a week on it, having one day to do the raid should be no problem.
