Guild Wars 2

In the pve world, we have access to cultural items that bring flavour to the different races of Tyria.

I think it would be cool.. and add more depth to wvw combat to have access to cultural siege equipment, and upgrades to towers/keeps

Make them available to everyone (maybe discount the price if you happen to be the correct race when purchasing).. for example something like this:

As well as the basic arrow cart, options to buy…

Sylvari arrow cart > give it a chance to cast entangling roots on hit
Human/Krytan arrow cart > Master crafted, increased damage
Charr arrow cart > explosive shots.. burning damage
Norn arrow cart > can fire a shot with greater force with a chance to knock people down
Asura arrow cart > couldn’t think of something but you get the idea!

That is stuff I just thought up in a few minutes, imagine upgrades in keeps as well.. turn the walls into thorny/vine covered sylvari walls that poison enemies on contact.. or the ability to lay charr land mines around the perimeter of a tower :P

I think it would change up some tactics, guilds might favour one style of ram over another.. or enjoy using certain kinds of catapults in specific situations… it opens up loads of customisation for towers/keeps as well, let us choose what type of guards to hire and let them have a racial effect.. same goes for the cannons on towers/keeps as well

Just spitting ideas mostly, what do you people think?

I want to dye my catapult pink.

I really like where your head is at ruggy.

I like it, I think it could open up lots of possibilities.
I always liked the idea of holding key points of the map that might not offer any point bonus but tactical bonus.

Example…

Your guild holds a bridge between points of the Borderlands. You are able to fly your guild banners as flags in the middle of the bridge… maybe even purchase (cheap) guards and set them at the bridge to help you defend. (A maximum # of guards) The guards could be designed to wear your guild banners and maybe even a preset of armor your guild has added to the model. One guild could have their soilders in full plate and fin helms while another go wit the bare chested fur wearing barbarian types!

So even if you are not inside a keep spamming the door with AE defending… your 3-5 man guild group could guard a bridge flying your guild banner to announce to your enemies.

even designing the type of armor / race of your guards would be awesome

Sylvari arrow cart > give it a chance to cast entangling roots on hit

No.
No more binding roots.

Ruggy I love this idea and its funny because me and some friend were talking about this in vent the other day. we talked about arrow cart sylvari that poisoned or had vines on the arrows to pull enemies closer, asurans arrow carts shot mini golems that hit their targets and chased anyone hit hitting them a few more times. asuran trebs that shot large golems that would land and do that spin thing, Norm trebs shot ice that cripples foes or show that slows them. Upgrading to sylvari vine walls that added 5 seed turrets to each wall Charr spike gated that wouldnt allow people to use ram or melee doors with out taking out spikes first. the towers and keeps are already to human. There are so many ways you can go here it would just put wvw over the top.

great ideas, doods. you should post it in a suggestion forums.

I would be game to be able to have racial or guild skinned siege weapons but don’t want them to be different in application. A sylvari treb made of giant trees and vines vs a charr metal treb would be cool but they should both still be trebs.
