Guild Wars 2

I do feel that there should be a hierarchy when guilds claim a location. Since a guild can claim a single location, it is far too easy to accidently claim another location.

When a guild does have a claim to a location- I would like to see a confirmation message asking to verify the change to claim.

Also- any additional information on who has current claim to a location would be helpful. As well as a system that a guild with a greater presence has to friendly challenge a claim on a keep. (For example, if player A represents Guild A that can provide greater buffs than Guild B can provide- they should be given the ability to help everyone out by being able to take the location).

nah, you claim it, is yours till you loss it.

information of who, would be useuful, so not only the crest would be displayed, may be if you talk to the guild claimer, he could say ‘’hello this keep is under the control of lord x leader of x’’

I’m not sure you understood his point. His point was, Guilds are limited to 1 claim. What he’s saying is, right now, if I claim Stonemist for my guild, 6 hours later, an officer might come online, take over a tower and think “alright lets claim this, we need something to defend” and by claiming it, loses our stonemist claim. He’s asking for some sort of confirmation message to let him know that by claiming this tower, we lose Stonemist.

Piggi pretty much got it. The current system isn’t exactly user friendly.

I agree, this would be a great feature!

Good communication is as important to a war effort as weaponry, tactics, and manpower.

If your intra-guild communication is so bad that your guild officers—the ones you trusted enough to give the ability to claim a site—are not aware that you have claimed the central castle in the game then how can they be possibly be doing an effective job of defending it?

Apart from the fact that I’m often not able to claim something at all when I should be able to, this concerns me as well!

I have to agree here, you set the people you want to be able to claim the points, you should be talking to your leaders on what points you have and what you want to move onto. There is nothing wrong with the system, just the players. If you are having issues I would say to talk to your members, find the weak link and cut it.

So this game should just offer usability stuff for harcore-guilds?
Probably you have a casual guild, don’t even hearing something from your guild members for a couple of days… These are informations that aren’t that difficult to show and doesn’t hurt a hardcore-guild at all, but all the other guilds when they don’t get that information out of the game!

There are obivously not very strong messages within that NPC communication.
If you try to claim something that you already claimed, you get the message that it was already claimed by another guild!
Sometimes I’m currently not able to claim something at all, even when I should be able to, but that is probably just a bug. Or there is a reason for it that the game don’t explain well or actually don’t explain at all!

Nah.
