Guild Wars 2

http://www.guildwars2hub.com/guides/basics/complete-guide-guild-missions

SUMMARY

*Guild Missions become available after your guild has upgraded the four categories within the guild panel, to a certain level.

*Guild Missions cost 50,000 Influence to unlock and 200 influence to activate.

*Higher tiered Guild Missions can be purchased with further influence and Merits (awarded from completing Guild Missions.)

*Merits are awarded on a tiered basis and are a natural limiting factor due to how many you can earn in a week, preventing large guilds unlocking all tiers instantly from influence they may have stored.

*2 Commendations are awarded to each individual who completes a guild event and can be traded for items from the new vendor in Lions Arch.

*Further rewards for completing a Guild Mission include two rare items or higher and 50 silver.

*Precursors are part of the reward loot table for completing a Guild Mission.

*Having World Completion is a huge benefit when participating in most of the Guild
Missions as Waypointing quickly to far flung locations is a must.

*Working together is paramount to successfully completing Guild Missions, as without it you will fail.

Uhhh nice is the ascended gear “new”? or is rings and amulets?

Am I seeing ascended “accessories” there?

I hope so, ok now im hype for this patch ehehe

This looks amazing.

50000 influence? Really?

ascended earring weeeee 12 commendations each + 5 gold?

or is it an option of 5 gold or 12 commendations?

Hule.8794:

50000 influence? Really?

Yeah it looks like smaller guilds will be getting screwed

Hule.8794:

50000 influence? Really?

oh sad, our guild is kinda new, so we only have 22k >.<

time to buy guild influence for 20 gold = 20 k influence

I’m in a guild of 13 and after we’re done waiting for AoW to finish I’m just gonna buy all the influence.

(with gold i’ve earned in game, mind you)

50,000 influence?! On top of Art of War 5? I love this update but that kills it for any smaller guilds. Or am i missing something?

EDIT: Actually read the article (teehee) and now it doesn’t seem tooooo bad.

Only thing that sort of bothers me is the 50K influence since you already need to spend over 30K to even to get to that point, even so the rewards that you get from it might actually make up for that – im pretty excited for it, and having precursors part of the loot table is a huge bonus ;o !

Thank god my guild have 300k infuence ;D

Looks like my small guild of friends has no chance of ever unlocking these :/

Sounds awesome!

On Sanctum of Rall we have formed a guild alliance so that small guilds can participate.

Check your server’s reddit or website to see if they are doing the same thing.

This looks awesome! can’t wait to get started. It is far better then I originally pictured. It looks like there will b actual progression. I was afraid that larger guilds could just buy their way through the content, but these influence numbers should allow actual progression over time of the content.

The big question here:

Is the reward of Commendations, Rares/Exos, Precursor Chance, and 50s available to everyone who helps complete a mission, or just the guild members of the guild that triggered it?

But from what i understand, alliance wont be the same as guild event started by your guild.
Yes you can participate, but you will only get 2 commendations. You wont get loot+50s on the end. And that loot matters, because 2 rares or higher? And a precursor change?
But hey, we made influence usable only in WvW(mainly) and now we will punish smaller guild for using it. Nice one Anet,really.

This sounds amazing

From what I read in the FSC (Massively), those rewards are only for the guild members that started the events, other people just get normal event rewards.

Can people who guest on other servers join guilds on that server?

SUMMARY

From the hub article, you still have to spend gold in addition to the commendations to get the items?

yes you can join a guild on any server. There may be some restrictions but i’m not 100% sure.

Ah yes, there goes my chance at playing this.

Thanks. Guess I’m gonna have to find a large guild now, so I can get good rewards for helping with these.

And there in lies part of the problem…….If this ends up being like it sounds players will scatter from smaller guilds and flock to larger ones.

I really hope this is not how this pans out….even though I’m not in a small guild

Multi-guilding should help people concerned if their guild is too small to kick off missions until they build enough influence to do it themselves.

I don’t know how small your guild is, but sharing that cost across its members will probably be worthwhile. Naturally you’d need to do that a couple of times to get access to all the missions, but unlocking a mission every week/ two weeks or so and doing it as a guild could be a fun way to manage things rather than just getting access to everything at once.

It sounds like a lot of points, but it’s not unachievable. You just kinda need to want it. It’s also obviously based on progression beyond just the influence requirements. In addition, it will form a clear delineation between small guilds willing to work together and earn the influence/gold necessary to gain access to these missions and small guilds not willing to do this – and the former could use their efforts as a recruiting tool. I might be being idealistic, but this strikes me as much about teamwork for smaller guilds outside of the missions as much as within, and I like that.

Karizee.8076:

They won’t build up enough influence – that influence will end up in bigger guilds they will be playing in for the new content.

Oh my… just read the article… wow.

I’ll be in my bunk.

Guh! While I quite like what I read there, it just bugs me that the message seems to be “yes, you need to be in a big guild because of the huge costs, especially if you want the loot/rewards, and yes, small guilds can go to kitten.”

Leviathan, there has up to now been NO content for large groups, is it really unreasonable to have some for large groups?

There was NO content for guild of ANY size.

Hmm, according to a preview article on mmorpg.com the initial influence cost has been reduced to 30,000

WTB patch notes to prevent misinformation. It is patch day...give us something to read.

This looks awesome.

I really want this patch to come out soon, I am really looking forward to getting my guild into these.

It is going to be great to see loads of guilds running around killing champs and being chickens! I am so excited about guild missions.

this sounds great, i like that presusors are in the loot table

Quote from the link above:

In addition to five types of guild missions each one also has three tiers that increase the level of the mission difficulty. The first type of guild mission your guild will be able to unlock are guild bounties. It will cost your guild 30,000 influence to unlock this mission. Once you unlock this mission it will cost you another 100, 300, or 500 influence to start the mission based on what tier you choose to attempt. The other 4 guild mission types cost 50,000 influence each to unlock.

This amount of needed influence is killing many many smaller guilds but do not bother big guilds in any way. An extremly bad choice of design just make more player frustrated, as they have not a whiff of a chance in a smaller guild.
A full new meaning of “Guild Wars”!

you know you can buy influence right? even if your guild has 10 people, the cost is not that much

So now you can only get ascended accessories by doing these guild missions? Please tell me A-Net didnt do such a silly thing.

What happened to multiple ways to get ascended?

The Influence needed for even starting Guild Missions is still too much.

Guild Missions are for 15 players+. I think that 15 players are able to acquire this amount of influence pretty easily in a week.

First place introduced != only.

Hopefully the commendations and reward and all that are for everyone. I’m guessing they aren’t though due to 50s + 2 rares being pretty big.

Should scale the rewards down some and allow everyone that participated to get it. Not just because it helps people in smaller/no guilds, but because I want a reason to play in other people’s guild events too.

emikochan.8504:

I have no problem with content aimed for large groups. I have problem with content that is exclusive to larger groups. After all, big groups are in no way restricted in participating in small group activities.

agreed, think of how rings were put in game, first does not mean only.

The first Bounty mission requires only two champion-level bosses to be killed in 15 minutes. Unless those champions have a very large amount of health, a guild of 4-6 could easily do it.

happyjedi.1372:

The Influence needed for even starting Guild Missions is still too much.

If your guild has 10 active people, it takes less than 3 full path runs of AC to get the influence you need.

With 5 people, it will take 5 runs.

And there is speculation that the cost may be lowered to 30k influence.

Lastly, there is a limit to how many merits guilds can earn a day, big OR small.
