Guild Wars 2

Every week my guild comes together and every week its nearly the same. Sadly the Guild Missions barely offer any variety. Sure, you could go once in a while to WvWvW… but in our case, thats not a solution because our guild has members from different servers.
We also have not to many PvP players to try out that.

So… is there anything going to happen? Anything? We had high hopes for Heart of Thorns, but sadly, those hopes where crushed.

Not surprising. They’ve been the same, with the same progress stopping bugs, for years. Any new ones would probably follow style of the WvW missions: hastily put together checklists instead of content.

This is not meant to minimize or disagree with the OP point of view. This is just my personal take on it.

I love guild missions as they are. They are one of the most inclusive things in the game. Players of different skill levels and intensity come together for just over an hour once a week. We socialize. We do some missions that, in all honesty, don’t push the envelope. All of the participants, casual and hardcore, get a few coin, some rares, guild commendations, and lots of laughs. Can’t do the jumping sometimes? No problem. Someone has a mesmer. Don’t know the fights or the combat system well. No problem. Get a tag. If you die, someone will rez you or…you simply get to watch the rest of the fight and still get your rewards. If things go badly, no problem. We can re-do it or try next week. It’s one of the few times we get everyone on TS.

I don’t have a problem if they want to make some more intense HoT missions but, at least for me, having the ones we have in Tyria make the guild a great place to be.

Honestly, they’ve been boring since about a year after they were introduced.

Having always preferred playing with a small guild, with several members not having 100% map completion, I’ve never liked guild missions. Yes, I’ve done them with a large guild and had 100 players roflstomp them for easy weekly loot… but that wasn’t fun for me.

Seeing that the PvE missions just weren’t suited to my guild of friends, I opted for the WvW missions to see how they were. I was sorely disappointed. If it’s not capturing a supply camp, having one person complete Obsidian Sanctum or waiting potentially hours for the (now disabled) Oasis event… they just weren’t doable with small numbers either. I’m not expecting any love for small guilds any time soon though.

Of course they got boring. Anet nerfed them a ton. They are no longer challenging at all even for small guilds
