Guild Wars 2

•The guild vault from the world that had the highest number of slots will become your global guild vault. If your guild had the same number of slots on multiple worlds, it’ll pick the one with the most items. However, the items from other worlds’ banks will not be lost—instead, their contents will be put into extra slots, which will only be available to withdraw from and will disappear once empty.

Scenario: Guild Stash on World A uses all 30 slots. Guild Stash on World B uses all 30 slots.

After the update, this guild will have a single Guild Stash of 30 slots, with 30 temporary extra slots which will disappear once empty.

Instead of a Stash, Trove and Cave on each world, you end up with a single Stash, Trove and Cave across all worlds.

Is this the intended result of the change?

I would say it is… then at some point a new gem store item to increase the vault size for guilds… or another guild influence level etc with a silly amount of guild xp needed to get it…

Seen it happen in other MMO’s tbh.. its an easy win aimed at larger guilds that will likely struggle with just one bank spread amongst its 500.

Wow….I saw this whine coming.

Give ’em cake and someone wants to complain about the size of the box it came in….

Except guilds already bought their cakes… they are just having a portion of their cakes taken back and forced into going on a diet … see what I did there.

Doesn’t affect me or mine.. . in fact my guild will likely see a sizeable reimbursement for the upgrades on our original guild bank, but other much larger guilds may not feel the same… but business is business and GW2 is a business after all.

This is actually the only change that made me happy from this recycling pack. I was thinking of changing my main server for a long time now, but my guild bank held me back and now I’ll be finally free to change it whenever I please without considering rebuilding it from a scratch on different server.

What would you have them do? Give some Guilds larger storage than others, just because they had members on different servers? Would that be fair? Would that cause less…feedback (for lack of another term)?

Let’s say Guild A had 500 members all on the same server. They have Guild Vault with 250 slots.

Guild B had 500 members on 3 different servers. They have Guild Vault with 250 times 3 slots.

Now, after new feature, Guild A has 250 slots. Guild B has 750 slots.

Can you imagine the uproar? What would you have suggested, instead of the current (fair) implementation?

If you update something, then you better make sure that it doesn’t have any drawbacks. This update has indeed drawbacks, thus this is a valid concern.

A bank guild with 50 slots costs 5g. If a guild is large enough to be worrying about this, then that should be pocket change.

It’s a pretty legitimate concern, a la dungeon instance ownership changes removing the safety from pugging, or commander tags costing 300g per color. Don’t assume ANet is going to get it 100% right every time, or any time for that matter.

a new gem store item to increase the vault size for guilds… or another guild influence level etc with a silly amount of guild xp needed to get it…

Bloodstealer, I afraid to say but I think you may be right about this.
