Guild Wars 2

Can we get some love for guilds? I love missions but I would trade 4 living story patches for something like guild halls or gvg. We haven’t got anything in so long :’( Alot of guilds have also hit that point where they have all upgrades and capped at 250 merit each week. Please any update for guilds?

Sorry this year’s Guild patch is already deployed. Next year maybe.

I’m serious, by the way. Colin’s outlook for the rest of 2013 had nothing for guilds.

guild halls are useless and gvg is a pvp mode more then a guild feature.

but I’d love a rework of the UI with a few new features (like the eternally missing “last logged on date”)

Can we get some love for single players instead? At very least guild missions is way easier way to obtain ascended trinkets (in opposition to laurels + 50 ecto).
Lets not mention all of the passive guild bonuses.

Er, no. Guild Halls are not useless, at least not if they were implemented like GW1.

• They would give guilds places to gather without having to put up with the cities or be out in a zone where they’d be under constant attack (though in GW1, things didn’t respawn so that wasn’t a worry).

• Give convenient access to most services (storage & vendors, plus crafting and trading post for GW2), at least if it was implemented GW1-style and travel to and from the Hall (putting you back at where you were, or at the nearest known waypoint to where you were) was free.

• Give an area where they can practice tactics with a Skirmish mode.

• Provide the instanced setting for Guild vs Guild battles (which may just be another PvP mode, but given that there’s only two PvP modes at the moment…).

I’m sure others can and will point out other benefits to Halls, but I’m too lazy at the moment.

let’s admit that this is the main element that players think of when discussing guild halls.

let’s also admit that the day after this is implemented, LA becomes a ghost town.

look back at the gw1 situation: if gw1 had a global trading post and players no longer needed to sit all day in kamadan or the other cities to trade things.. would there be a single player left in ANY of these cities?

guild halls = player ghettos and dead cities

Im pretty sure it would be easy for them to put in a last logged on date, I just don’t think guilds have been on their things to focus on for a very long time. This needs to be changed, every patch they put in something for pve/wvw/pvp/LS and they need to add in guilds to this equation

gvg in “guildwars”?!? Yeah, ridiculous!
Mmmmm GvG CTF, oh man I’m drooling!

I could forego halls and GvG if they would add a basic toolset for Guild Leaders that included this short list:

1. Last Time online
2. bulk email for guild leaders only to email their members with important info that may not fit in the MoTD
3. Separate the ability to invite new members from the ability to boot members
4. The ability to sort members in the list according to preset preferences such as last online or joined date
5. a “call to arms” button that would pop a chat to everyone, whether representing or not to help with calling everyone for an event.

I just hope they don’t make it so guilds have to do the missions in order to get the halls. That would be a really bad for the small guilds.
