Guild Wars 2

Can we get a POI show or blog post with a little more detail about how this new Guild Hall Leveling System works?

Would make sense since WvW had a POI to go over some basics with it’s new Claiming System.

It appears we will need to level our Guild Hall to level 40. Is it really going to cost thousands of materials donated to the guild hall in order to level up the guild (example of costs)? I thought we are getting grandfathered ? I guess that is only the items not the guild levels?

Yes, before the tomatoes start flying, it’s a want not a need to level the guild hall ;D

“If your guild has already unlocked the research level that grants access to a given upgrade in the current system, you’ll be grandfathered in so that you keep what you’ve earned under the current live system.’

Do you just need the research tiers done or individual upgrades like guild bank or whatever?

to get the guild bank you most likely need that researched aswell

Ayrilana.1396:

“If your guild has already unlocked the research level that grants access to a given upgrade in the current system, you’ll be grandfathered in so that you keep what you’ve earned under the current live system.’

I read that also from the link “grandfathered” I posted. That could only mean we will have access to things like Hero Banners if you have reached that level of research and unlocked that particular guild item. That assumption comes from Rethinking Guilds. Since they are not likely to take those items away, even though they could if they chose.

It does not state that we will be grandfathered to the new guild level 24 much less level 40 or 46 as the picture shows (see bottom of link “costs” i.e. the “((Guild Level:)) 46” ). Hence, some clarification would be nice.

Also “As you build, you’ll gain levels, and new upgrades will become available for purchase”. Note the “you’ll gain levels, and new upgrades will become available for purchase” implies we get to keep what we have unlocked and will need to level in order to unlock any NEW items added.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh time to get farming again T__T

farming what tho? I wish we had a heads up on what exactly we’re going to be able to use to upgrade and guild craft. I know we can spend our existing influence on daily limits to convert to new currencies, but what about coin? What are these new mats we will need, and what currencies will we need to get them? Our guild has stockpiled donations of gold in preparation for the upcoming guild halls, and if we can’t spend it at all there are going to be some irritated members.

You will have to wait, just like everyone else, for the official release.

It would indeed be nice to get more information about the guild halls. Not only in regard to the mechanics for upgrading, etc., but also to get more visual impressions from them.

There was one PoI where we got a look at one of the halls, but little is known so far about the other one. So maybe if you do a PoI about guild mechanics, do it in the other guild hall.
After all, guilds will have to make up their minds regarding which hall to choose some time soon.

Of course the best thing would be to give players access to both guild halls during the next BWE. A possibility just to visit both halls, like we had in GW1.

yes, a tour guide would be nice. but there are only like, 2 halls. we could just wait for release then watch a youtube of the first guilds to get each hall.

Or you could find out what guild is buddy buddy’s with Izzy, they likely know.
