Wouldn’t be interesting to have some skills, mechanics that you acquire from the Order you join in your story?
I’ll break down my ideas:

Order Skills(Elite skills)
The Order of Whispers could give you massive stealth or some cool sneaky attack.
The Vigil could give you support from the sky. With ships and cannons.
From the Durmand Priory you could get the knowlege for a powerful magic or a kitten Laser.
Those skills would be available in PvE and WvW and could have a long casting time, massive impact on the battlefield and could need a multiple casting to be effective.
By multiple casting I mean that you have the standard red target on the ground with the number of casters needed in the center. When someone casts the Skill you can see the circular area of effect on the ground, white if it’s from your faction if in WvW but not from your order, red if it’s from the enemies and green if it’s from your faction and your order. On the inside of the simbol there should be the number of casted needed with the capping like circle filling up for each caster. once the circle is full you can activate ie and for example fire.
To limit the impact of these Skills there should be a really long activation time, a big radius around the spell where you can’t cast another one of the same type and a system that prevents other players from casting if they are not needed.

Also I know, the orders would be on each side in WvW, and that’s the fun part, you can find someone trying to activate the spell kill them, finish the casting yourself and have the cannon or firepower on your side.

Mechanics and Missions(WVW)
Another interesting thing to have would be some order related Missions in WvW like sabotage the defences in the Keeps with the Order of Whispers, deploy a battalion of Vigil NPCs to protect a side of a keep or guiding them to breach the walls. And finally research some hidden catacombs to harness the power of a Boss to use to attack or defend a Keep.

That’s it from my side, I woudl like to hear from you what you think about these ideas and your thoughts about how to improve them.
