Guild Wars 2

I feel that guilds feature need some quality of life updates, I’m running a small, casual, social themed guild with 3 active members. We tried recruiting outside the game since there no real mechanic or feature in the game for guild recruitment outside of just shouting. this is something that I feel that should have been put in the game a long time ago and feels like it should be a mmorpg industry-standard feature. Another QoL feature that I would love to be in the game is a calendar so members can see upcoming events and a voting system so members can vote on what type of events they want to do.

so those are some of my ideas what type of Guild QoL Features you guys want?

I honestly think those social tools — calendar, votes — along with forums for guilds are best served by just using a Facebook group these days. It’s not to everyone’s taste, but it is a company dedicated and focused on making social things like that work.

Anything build in-game is going to be more or less terrible, honestly. Like, seriously, look at wow: the calendar is nothing to write home about, at best, and rarely used. You can’t add it to your phone, or google calendar, or outlook, or whatever. It’s clunky. Unloved.

As to the recruiting troubles, I’d suggest you continue to search outside the game for folks. It’s a pretty big gamble, in game, that you might find someone. If you really do want to go that path, though, shouting in the starter zones is probably the best bet.

Would be neat to see like a in game recruitment msg board where Guild leaders can post and update their recruiting post. Have it split for NA and EU. Although recruiting from outside source is good, but a secondary method can never hurt.

Guild wars 2 is a game that has guild wars in its name but has no guild war or any value for having a guild.

Letting us build the Oakheart Essence from the new map in the guild hall was a great touch.

More stuff like that please

(to add – let us build bouncy mushrooms )

This comment is surprising to me. My guild has recruited in-game exclusively and I would not describe it as a gamble. We’ve built a strong roster of good members – people who are friendly, helpful and active – and skilled (or becoming skilled as we help them to learn). I can’t imagine finding a couple of hundred people like that outside the game! I don’t recommend recruiting exclusively in the starter zones – we get some people there, but we also like to balance with experienced players, and we find those in all zones.

A recruitment tool is the only thing I can see definite value in versus just using external websites if you really need them – mostly because people might not know to look on the forums and there is considerable friction when not integrated into the game. (Granted, anyone who is strongly looking for a guild is probably going to find it.)

And, yeah, it would take considerable development effort to do well – because you’d need a way to narrow it down to the types of guilds you’re looking for (filters), you might also want to be able to see indicators of activity (do they regularly play raids? PvP? Guild missions? Claim objectives in WvW?), how many players they have, etc etc.

Nonetheless I would find such a feature well worth it – mostly to try to track down alt guilds to guest with in order to complete certain achievements.

Good idea vonbladewing!, We need more Quality of life updates for Guilds.

Bring the Guild, back to Guild Wars.

Only 30 Suggestions :

1 – Guild Calendar

2 – Vote System

3 – Global Recruiment post for Guilds, for example inside the Looking For Group panel with a New Category – Guild Recruiment. People can see here:

Name of the Guild (NoG) – Language – PvP, WvW or PvE – number of members – and a little text

4 – Separate Autorizations for Invite to Guild, and Kick from Guild. For example All members can invite, only officials can Kick.

5 – Alliances of Guilds (5 for example), and disable the representing system. Add a new chat for Alliances of Guilds, same in Guild Wars 1.

6 – If you like to mantain the Representing system, a status to see when is the last time anyone represent your guild.

7 – Special merchant to Guild Halls. This merchant can sell items with discounted prices, and deposit a little of the earnings in the Guild Bank. This can help to small guilds or Thematic Guilds (WvW, PvP)

8 – Hall of Winners. A new zone in the Guild Hall, here we can see the names of winners. We can reunite in this place, the best achievements of our members. Adventures, jumping puzzles and others.

9 – Minipet of the Guild. A minipet dressed with the colors and emblem of your guild.

10 – More icons for the Guild Ranking system.

11 – Commander icon with the emblem of your guild. For WvW, PVE or Invisible (only member of your guild can see the icon)

12- Sponsor System. A Big Guild can donate things to a Small Guild. The small guild win aid, and the big, win guild points.

13 – Branch System. A Guild now, spend too many to upgrade the Guild Hall to the maximum. If the Guild Hall is in level 50, add a discount of 50% to the transfer when they like to choose another Guild Hall. (for example with the new expansion)

14 – A new section inside the Guild Panel, to write the Rules of your guild, not in the message of the day.

15 – More missions and events Inside Guild Halls.

16 – New Guild Races, Challenges, and new Guild Dungeons.

17 – Internal mail system to Guild Members. For example if our guild are making a contest for our members, this can help to send them their prizes. Now its very uncomfortable make this.

18 – Remove decorations in groups. For example only trees, or only statues.

19 – All crafting NPCs in Guild Halls, not only Scribes.

20 – Black Lion Npcs in Guild Halls.

21 – Cooperative missions for Alliances of Guilds.

22 – Alliances vs Alliances system

23 – Sit able chairs inside Guild Halls.

24 – Add names of players in chat, when anyone join or exit from a Commander Group. (can be extended for the rest of the game)

25 – New functionality inside the Guild Panel, to add links. for example Guild Web homepage, or the teamspeak/discord/others

26 – Guild Capes with your Guild Emblem, same in Guild Wars 1. If you can make Legendary Armors, you can make Capes!

27 – Guild Mounts. A mount dressed with the colors and emblems of your Guild.

28 – A new Guild Mastery System. This mastery its based in your Guild Hall. Maxing this mastery, can unlock special doors inside your guild hall, and enter in secret areas. In this areas, you have a secret access to your home district, or other special places.

29 – More Stronghold maps with Guild vs Guild systems in PvP.

30 – Transform the Guild Magic Carpet in a Glider.
