Guild Wars 2

With the new HOT coming.

Do anyone know the transition process between the current guild upgrades and the new guild system? Do we have to upgrade everything all over again? If so, what will happen to the existing guild banks and the items?

They said on the stream that storage upgrades will stay intact, and banners will remain usable if you build them now.

Guild merits will be useless after HoT, and influence can be turned in to time based NPCs for the new favor, but they also said it is far less efficient to do that than to just stockpile banners.

All other upgrades will be gone, but guilds that have made upgrade progress will be given a special guild hall decoration to commemorate their past achievements, and this will be the only way ever to get that decoration.

Anyone has a link or further information on that influence part? (Didn’t know that yet and it’s kind of important )

Edit: Thanks rhapsody. I didn’t see that at dulfy before^^

If you go to dulfy.net, everything from the livestreams is written up. I think she also has some videos uploaded to YouTube that Anet haven’t uploaded yet.

what about the guild upgrades such at 10% magic find boost for 3 days? would it be gone as well or would they become permanent?

I would also would like some info I remember reading it, and again just now, on the “Guild Objective Claiming in World vs. World”
Right at the bottom it says, quote:
“Another big change in the system is that any WvW fort enhancements that were previously purchased for twelve hours at a time have been replaced with a single, sector-wide enhancement that lasts as long as your guild has a claim on the objective. The objective enhancement can be upgraded at your war room to provide more bonuses.

The updated guild claiming system adds to the value of securing objectives and gives guilds a whole new level of options and strategic depth. We look forward to seeing how teams use these new options to wage war in World vs. World."

So how will it stand on the waypoint reduction, magic find, gathering buffs, crafting buffs.
