Guild Wars 2

I know theres the whole WvW guildhall aspect, but really..

My guild especially would love a gathering spot, miss the guildwars 1 features, especially combat exhibitions.

Just was wondering if i could get a definitative answer on when we can expect this.

Nope. You can’t get a definitive answer. Because Anet, rightly, won’t give a date for something until it’s close. If it was close, we’d have the date.

No dev in his right mind would give a date of something that’s not ready to go into the game. Imagine the screaming when it didn’t make it.

Loaded question, obviously everyone wants halls.
And you probably won’t get a more definitive answer than the tens of times they already told us we’re getting them when they’re ready.

Meh okay.. If not a definative answer.. Is it on their to do list? xD

it IS on there to do list, they have said this manny time’s

cool, dont get me wrong… I absolutely love the game.
thought maybe someone knew something more, maybe from offical source or something

wishful thinking i know :P

Yep, they’re doing it. I’m predicting it’ll be in their first paid update with player housing too, but it’s just a guess.

Kinda going to go off topic here by not answering the question… I don’t know why, but I do indeed want a guild hall. Seems odd to me that I want a guild hall but I have no desire for a legendary and I’m very happy with my current armor and weapon sets. Besides, there are already countless taverns and small buildings that could easily be considered home-base for a guild. I suppose the draw would be the ability to brand and customize a dedicated hall. Who knows, with enough people and resources a new form of legendary could be a full on guild castle. Imagine a guild having a castle that stands as a landmark in the game for all to see. For something like this to work the requirements to achieve such a thing would have to be nearly impossible. Can’t have the map covered in guild castles.

Not everyone. I’m not against them being implemented since it seems to be something people would like. I just never saw the point really and it would do nothing to add to the game for me.

It would be nice…….

I wonder what it would be like to transpose the “It’ll be ready when it’s ready” philosophy to other professions?

Q: When will your house be ready? A: When I’m finished building it"
Q: When will our exam be?" A: When I finish making it"
Q: When will my package get here? A: “Durrrrr when it arrives”

Oh the fun!

Yes and NO

They said they were working on it months ago…

The Tales of Tyria Show on youtube got information that ANet once again placed it on the backburner… and “We don’t have it and not working on it” was the response given…

Don’t expect to see it til the near end of this year or even next year…

No I am not trolling, but it would be great to see ANet respond to this topic…

I want to be able to have guild hall defenses and attacks with the ability to loose or gain hall territory. Put the guild war in Guild Wars 2.

I would honestly expect to see guild halls in at least 2-3 years IF that.

Will prob come in first expansion (My guess)

I’d guess either the first or second expansion (probably the second, since the first expansion will release this year). I don’t think this will come to us in a patch. Expansion worthy for sure.

I’d take a Guild Airship and/or a Guild Submarine while we’re at it.

I want mounts first.

But yeah, when most guilds have to scramble up enough players for dungeon runs, I think this is a waste of developer time right now.

I was a member of one of the largest gangs on Crimecraft’s Cabrese server. How many did I ever see in their gang club? 3. And that was on the day I was invited.

I don’t want a guildhall at all, I want my personal housing. Perhaps somewhat based on the home instances we have already.

Don’t hope for much, as you will probably be disappointed if you do.

At the rate content is being spoon-fed to players, you will likely never see guild halls.

Not expected anytime soon obviously. BUT here’s what I would like to see at some point. I want several options for halls, and they should be usable in gvg. Like in GW1, but cooler and more upgradable. I want stationary options like castles. But also mobile ones like air / sea ships. Bigger than the ships we’ve seen so far, special guild versions, but also maybe different sizes for bigger / smaller guilds. A whole lot could be done here. Maybe have some instance that spans the world, but so high up it doesn’t have to render everything. Just to have a sense that your ship is really going places. Maybe be able to even plot its course. Imagine gvg between two ships.

Also can’t wait for player housing. Home instance has lots of potential. But I also like the idea of having personal apartments / quarters in the guild hall. Some huge place where the guild can order an upgrade to add personal accommodations for members. Bigger guild = bigger upgrade needed. I have no reason to think this would ever be the case, but I think I could get quite a lot of enjoyment and attachment from this.

No interest in Guild Halls.

Huge interest in personal housing.

Halls, Housing, fine for me it’s more social to the game.

That claim things in WvW is sad, there is no way to see if we own it or what we own. O.o

Fingers crossed for E3 announcment

They don’t go to E3. And they even said they are not working on it either. I remember in guild wars 1 (specifically guild wars 1), guild halls after the initial parade became dead. I doubt they are going to dedicate resource ATM to something that has no lasting value.

I would love to see customizable guild halls in GW2! It could add alot of new and fun gameplay, and many new objects to play for or craft. Its a shame we don’t have it. And a bigger shame if we get it and its instanced and not fully customizable.

Guild halls are part of what made gw1 awesome, Its what made the game feel like home. To have a place that belonged uniquely to your guild and friends, it was awesome. Expecialy for a Role play guild.

I wish they would increase the priority on Guild halls, its a small thing but i dont think they realize just how important they were to the playerbase

The whole WvWvW “guild hall/tower/keep” thing is a joke. You might spend all day capturing it, getting it set up, upgraded, and just as your guild settles in to appreciate it, here comes Jonny Zergmaster Commander with his 200 minions tagging along and you lose it in 5 minutes. So that whole concept is laughable. On the actual subject of guildhalls, I think all of us want them very badly, but so far there is no official word on a release date for them, but we have been told a few times it’s in the planning for future updates. I just hope we don’t have to wait until a whole new campaign comes out to use them :s

I want guild halls so badly it is ridiculous. My only concern is that if it comes out in an expansion, that not all of my guildies would be able to even use the guild hall.

In a year or two, when/if they implement halls / housing, I’m sure it will be epic nonetheless. Slow as hell, but in the end ANet provides some jaw-dropping things.

Anet cant control our gameplay.

Ideally, a guild group of say 15 people could stay in a tower indefinetly, fully upgraded and well defended by dozens of siege equipments. It would take an very good assault force to breach that.

But of course, it would also be insanely boring. It rarely happens in game, since everyone is focused on offense and zerging around.

Anyway, its a completely different thing compared to guild halls. Yes I would like a guild hall. Sure you can do some weird roleplay that you’re in a guild hall, but its not the same as actually controlling its content and appearance. How they would accomplish such a feature however is beyond me (other than instances of course, but you want the guildhalls to be there for everyone to see…)

In another game I used to play we had guild castles. Once a week usually on the weekend there would be a guild war to claim a castle (there was a decent number of them). Each castle had bonuses that the leader could get and distribute to the members. They could easily do it that way so you couldn’t lose it at any point except during the actual event.

If I want housing later in the year I’ll play FFXIV, because I highly doubt we’ll be seeing anything of the sort for another 2 years. The game is good, but this will definitely be on hold for a while.
