I think it would be cool if there was guild wars in this game. Some ideas would be like:

1. Guilds being able to declare war against each other, if both guilds agree they’ll be sent to a special arena. Or maybe even be able to fight anywhere in the world.

2. Have a set hour every day or week where two random guilds are put at war with each other, and it being optional for players in the guild to join in or not. Whichever guild controls the other persons guild castle at the end of the hour (or controls it longer during that hour, whichever sounds better) gets the prizes. If it’s a tie, prizes are split between guilds. This would motivate players to join in during that hour of the day/week to get the prizes, and guilds could improve their reputation by winning and ranking higher. Higher ranked guilds would face against other higher ranked guilds, and Lower with lower, so it’s competitive every time. And if some guilds don’t care to participate, they would just have low rankings and it wouldn’t really make a difference to them and guilds who do participate wouldn’t be against them they would be against an evenly ranked guild. I got this idea from a game I used to play called Runes of Magic. Every day at 7pm my time there was this thing called “siege wars” where two random evenly ranked guilds faced off for an hour to control the other persons territory/territories. Prizes weren’t the greatest but there were a lot of players from each guild joining in every day during that hour. Even though it was a PVE oriented game, that became a big part of the game, and most players played a part in it to get their guild reputation up and be up in the rankings. I know this sounds a lot like WvW but this is much smaller and more personal as it directly affects your guild, and is only an hour of your day or week.

Not saying there’s anything wrong with what we have today. Just throwing some random ideas out there that might be taken into consideration for the next expansion. If you guys disagree with my idea that’s okay lol, again, this is just an idea. And if you agree, maybe there are some of your own ideas/changes you could add on to this.

It’ would be a niche format that won’t get the support it needs and it will fail. Anet already had trouble keeping WvW and PvP players happy. Not sure what makes anyone think that adding a new type of PvP will be somehow beneficial.

I expect that’s not true. We’ve had a couple of people who have complained about guild wars not being in the game, but it’s a rare complaint to here. I suspect only a small percent of people who bought the game actually expect guild vs guild. Anet even said guild vs guild wouldn’t be in the game before launch.

WvW was supposed to fill that role. It’s a large scale PvP area where guilds can compete. Not one on one with other guilds, but often, in WvW the big guilds really do compete with each other more generally.

Yeah i suppose wvw could fill that role if it was ever looked at or touched by the devs. At least they are not gonna support gvg they should change the gh instances so the wvw balance works there and ppl can do their gvgs in the guild arenas with no problems.

Actually, that’s a really good idea Zealex. But the thing is, if people think WvW is abandoned, why do they think adding another form of WvW would be better somehow?

Right now the game has to be balanced for three different sets of criteria. I can’t see how adding a forth would be good for the game.

The forth wouldnt need to be balanced seperately from wvw. But still gh arenas are enough, wvw needs other bigger changes to become what it should be, a third of the game instead of the bad joke that it is.
