Guild Wars 2

It has been more than 3 years since the last new guild missions were added to the game.

It really seems like Anet is getting its stride back. Is there ANY chance that might include something new for guild missions?

I think they should take the existing guild missions, transform them into open world non-guild stuff, and then start back with guild missions.

Rushes could be adventures, challenges hero points (assuming hero points could spawn complex events, instead of just minibosses), and puzzles minidungeons. Bounties and treks would stay the same.

Then they could adapt all the existing adventures, hero points, and puzzles for guild missions.

Whatever they do, we really need some fresh air with guild missions. Most people in my guild don’t do them out of fatigue.

I asked this same question almost a year ago here -

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Wrapping-Up-Guild-Week-on-Guild-Chat/first

and the following answer was provided during day four of “guild week” by one of the developers:

(including the phrase “I’m excited to see what the guild team will do with that in the future”)

This really seems like one area they haven’t touched in a really really long time. Should we consider guild missions as no longer part of the update plans? Is it something that has just slipped through the cracks?

I know they have a policy of not talking about future plans, and most of the time, I think that is a good policy.

But something that hasn’t been touched in 3+ years (the last missions were added on May 28th, 2013 (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Last_Stand_at_Southsun) other than an interface overhaul that didn’t add anything new content-wise – and hasn’t been discussed other than 4 words almost a year ago – raises concerns.

At least let us know they are still on the radar (or not, if that is the case). Believe it or not, this is still content many people care about.

WvW and PvP Guild Missions were a recent addition. Albeit not PvE missions, but was still developer time spent on them.

I think for most people, like myself, don’t count these as there isn’t any actual content for these. This is just wvw and pvp with a guild reward blanketed over them.

It’s hard to do PVP as a guild seeing that your party is limited to 5. The WvW ones are aimed at WvW guilds that hate pve.

What Blaeys is asking for is NEW pve content for Guild Missions. The current ones are getting stale. The same puzzles, challenges and rushes over and over again. Sure the bounties are variable, but they could add more bounties. The treks are decent, but they could add a few more points, say in the new regions.

I said this in an older thread, but I think the devs could let us design our own guild missions in our guild halls. They are huge and some people are extremely creative with jumping puzzles.

Nonetheless, we definitely could use a bit of change to our guild missions. Instead of guild bounty, why not guild hall defense, where waves of enemies attack the guild hall from various entrances?

Yea. I like that they added PVP and WVW guild missions, but for guilds that enjoy PVE content, we have been doing the same missions – every week – for 3.5 years now.

At this point, I would just like to see a dev say the word guild missions at least once to show that they are still on the radar.

It really feels like the most neglected element of the current game.
