Guild Wars 2

If you think about it there isn’t really any guild wars in Guild Wars 2.
Can’t we have some sort of GvG in PvE where if your guild has decided to be hostile with another guild then you can attack a person from sayd guild; if it is in LA or Divinity’s Reach it doesnt matter .

Gee, I hope not. PvP in the cities? Heaven forbid!

Representation entirely kills this, even if it is desirable. Players who are in a guild but not representing will either

- be safe, in which case they will toggle the representation so they can ambush people
- be vulnerable, in which case they will just quit the guild entirely

You’ve also got to worry about players who are in both guilds. The guild membership system just isn’t going to allow this.

Maybe pute a status in like the away and busy system, also no GvG in big boss events

Fix: Have a Guild Leader set the ‘status’ of the Guild, which will either allow Guild vs. Guild or not.

An even better fix: Instead of GvG in open world PvE arenas, how about some sort of building, where a Guild gathers to meet up, socialize, create events, have meetings, and even go to war with each other? It would be in a confined space, away from innocents and those who have adversions to PvP and avoid it like the Plague. Like a kittening Guild Hall. Such as the one that’s been in the works but no word of it has been heard for over a year.

:P
But I was thinking of also fixing the PvE problem, you know. A lot of people say that PvE isn’t challenging enought, but that didn’t always stop them from playing but just stopped them from having as much of fun in PvE as they did before they thought it.

This is even worse than the ideas from the kittenes who want “dueling” in the open world. GvG hunting each other down in PvE, or in the major cities? I like map chat just the way it is thanks.

“If you think GW2 will have Guild vs Guild, this game IS NOT FOR YOU.” :dddddddd

Open world GvG would be dumb. Divinity’s Reach would turn into a site of a gang war.

You can GvG in OS Arena already, many guild already do that. Also, you can GvG in PvP arenas if you set one up for your guild.

guys we already have GvG in the game

we have the GvG Arena in Obsidian Sanctum and there are many guilds that have GvGs there daily

i agree that it is not a perfect place for GvG since trolls can just come and annoy people who watch or interfere with the GvG

but usually thats not a big problem and it works quite well until now

Yea, we don’t want a kitten GvG mechanic like OS or an experiment like the LS that’s controversial. Guild Halls, and through them, GvG.

I do agree with not having open world GvG. That seems kind of daft really.

I dunno, if it’s run like a guild mission it could work. Leaders from two guilds choose the “guild conflict” mission and for the next half hour or hour all members from the other guild are treated as hostile. And if you are not in either guild you get to sit down and bring out the popcorn.

you should be able to set an option as a guild member to chose if you want to take part in such hostile guild events though

apart from that its a nice idea to make it a guild event^^

You can already do that – make a PvP arena and invite the other guild. DONE.

thats only 10 vs 10 maximum

like 90% of gvgs are 15vs15 or 20vs20

I think the best way to do it would be to have a message pop up saying “[guild name] has entered into a conflict with [rival guild name]. Do you wish to assist?” From that point on you are involved until the conflict ends. Invulnerable spies will exist but I don’t see that as a huge issue.

There are also all sorts of scenarios you could do. Highest kill count, kills by region, hold some obscure vista etc. The biggest bonus is that it wouldn’t descend into a champ train. The biggest difficulty is how it would play out on mega servers.

Personally I think a lot of guilds would go for this.

if only Anet would actually read this post
