Guild Wars 2

Today was the first time I’ve done a Guild Mission with my guild. This mission was to hunt some random lady with a sheriff’s badge above her head somewhere in SparkFly Fen. Went and “killed” her (not really, just pummeled her enough so that a cage appeared around her and she was instead ‘captured’), which wasn’t too difficult with our 20 people participating.

But, it’s what happened after that’s amazing. Someone dropped a Box-O’-Fun and it became a random party in the middle of the swamp. Everyone just goofing off and having a great time being turned colors, petrified, firing fireworks, growing 10ft tall, and even a big old costume brawl too. There was also dancing, lots of dancing for no apparent reason (of which, it got a bit weird when it became strip dancing).

This lead to a massive group run of a bit of WvW followed by some trolling around in the EB jumping puzzle. The lead of a whole night of great guild events lead off with a single guild objective that got us all together in one group. No limits to the participants of it either like some dungeon run, or a random instanced stress filled raid (yuck!).

This was a thing for our guild to get on and do something together that became a night of fun. And this is why I love Guild Missions, because they bring the guild together to do something fresh and fun without being a frustrating affair.

You know that you can organize guild events to do this kind of stuff as much as you want, right? It’s kind of the whole reason to be in a guild.
