An idea to integrate GvG into WvW
I like the idea, the whole notion of holding SMC while being challenged constantly (in a hopefully fair way, not just who has more numbers) is a great one! There’s definitely some issues that need to be addressed however:
- Being able to get even numbers, what if a guild has 32 and the other has 30? Would the portal leave 2 behind?
- Anti-spectator, naturally, which is really one of the greatest parts about GvGs
- GvGs often last about an hour, or are you talking about a purely best-of-one type of match? So what happens to the PPT contribution of the tower/castle/keep within that time needs to be addressed
GvG is a future implementation. Expect 15v15 on gem paid matches soon.
Thanks for the feedback NewRequiem.
There’s certainly a lot okittenks in the idea, I’ll freely admit.
I’d argue that you’re still approaching the idea from the perspective of GvG being retained for what it is now. In that respect, you could still have that by choosing an unoccupied tower (Lake, Briar, Cliffside, Dawn’s etc). The feasibility of GvG is very much on gentlemen’s agreements between guilds, and that can be accommodated easily causing little disruption to the rest of the playerbase.
What I’d love this idea to achieve though, is to bring in the best elements of GvG and integrate them into WvW.
For your first question, I’ll annoyingly reply with another question! Why would it need to be fair? It can be your whole guild against a larger whole guild. If you think your guys are tough enough, fight on no matter the odds. If not, reject the challenge. I know many organized guilds who would love such a scenario though. The hosting guild also has higher ground, and may even be able to place siege.
I’d agree about being anti-spectator. I’d love the ability for observers to enter the battlements during a challenge to watch e.g. look down from the 2nd floor of Lords room in Garrison. Failing that… someone could make some kind of highlights show of the best fights from the week. They could even have a wily, deep and gruff-voiced commentator on it
I don’t feel any changes to the PPT contribution of towers would need to be made. You’re only able to accept challenges for 5 minutes, which is as long as the Lord’s buff is up (when it’s impossible to cap anyway). If you were to win a challenge, that buff could reset.
Again, if no guild is organized enough to challenge for it, then the structure’s status would be exactly the same as it is now.
Finally, Fuzzion, I’d be delighted if that were to happen. I still think this would be a fun addition though.
I’m sorry to tell you this, but even if it’s a produktive and maybe nice idea this threat will shure be moved from wvw-forum. Made a thread myself yesterday about how gvg could be easy implemented and it was moved <2 hours later. They don’t want to see anything about gvg here. Very sad in my opinion.

They don’t want to see suggestion threads outside of the suggestion forum. It’s not a conspiracy against GvG.
WTF its WvW forum here ! go to suggestions ! ty
So anyone can post in WvW even if it has nothing to do only if the title has WvW in it?
GvG what is ? Should rename it Ego Vs Ego who has the biggest XD ?… Seriously…

If they would move it into the suggestions it would be better than what they do now. They move alle gvg related threats to playerorganised ingameevents so nobody sees it again…
