Guild Wars 2

Since developers are so interested about chess in GuildWars2 events, why not create some form of Player Versus Player or Guild Versus Guild using chess?

It should not be that hard to create a chess 3d map, put pieces, and let the players do the thinking against each other. A more advanced programming would be replacing the pieces with players fighting 1v1 for fun inside Guild Versus Guild, even though result is predetermined by chess rules.

And yet… I do think this is too much to ask. I still remember those 5 years of feedback from players.

While it’s wasn’t remotely chess-like, I do miss being able to play the RC golems in Metrica Province. There was a certain chess-like element to it, having to plan your moves to get towards the enemy had a certain amount of strategy to it. I know one of the reasons they took it out was because of the dramatic drop of players in early zones, but it was still a fun minigame I’d like to be able to play against my friends.

You can still play this! They put playable versions of the RC Golems in Auric Basin in a semi-hidden area. It’s not truly hidden of course, but it’s certainly off the beaten path and easy to miss if you’re not actively seeking it out or scouring the map during map completion. There are two playable boards near the Ancient Golem Part hero challenge.

Wiki has the location info.

Have fun!

EDIT: I’d like to add, I would love to see this minigame added as a guild hall “decoration” or upgrade. Put it in the tavern, or just outside, and let us play with guildies!

Same goes for Belcher’s Bluff, I’d love for there to be a permanent table in the GH tavern that you can unlock through an expensive guild upgrade. Considering the infinite use Belcher’s Bluff kit is 100g, I would expect a guild hall table to be probably 2-3 times that in cost. I would gladly pay the same amount of gold for a permanent RC Golem minigame in my GH. I know that’s crazy expensive, but I would buy it.

Chess is already in game, you just need a guild vault.
