Guild Wars 2

Why not combine these two things?

I haven’t thought fully into this so please point out if there are some issues.

Here’s a rough idea:
When a guild claims a keep or tower they are allowed to assign a commander. the commander gets the blue symbol (when people join the commander they see all the people in the group on the map!!! seriously!!!)

Keep Commanders – group max 50 players.

Tower Commanders – group max 25 players.

-This would allow more casual servers who dont have many people farming 100 gold to have actual commanders on the field.
- Gives reasons other then points to cap more towers and keeps.

Possible flaws: random small guilds claiming keeps (that they didn’t really help take) and posting terrible commanders

Anyways, just another idea!

Possibly a max guild level (art of war or something) and guild size would be required to claim.

I’d say nay to this one

you only thought up 2 issues, I can come up with tons.

1. there are 3 keeps, and 4 towers, this makes 7 commanders on a single map if possible = Total chaos.
2. while everyone was following a commander to assult, what happened if someone managed to take over that keep/tower? = commander icon lost, don’t know who or where to follow = total chaos
3. As long as anyone has the permission in the guild, they can claim keeps/towers, and it could also mean guildie A cliamed first on tower, and guildie B claim on keep = guildie A’s commander icon lost = point 2, more chaos.
4. what if a guild really has enough population to have multiple worthy commanders?

theses are just tip of the iceberg, the list could go on.

the 3 keeps and 4 tower is only on borderland. imagine the number of keeps and towers in EB. It will make EB the most chaotic place to fight in.

Chaster Sharpshooter. This is an open discussion where I clearly stated there are probably issues but it’s an idea.

- Point 2 and 4 are true, however, there could be a 20 minutes continuation after the keep is lost (he should be defending his guilds keep).

- In most match ups there a server controls 2 keeps and 2 towers per map (garrison, greenlake, hills, crags)(SM, lowlands, and the two towers). This means an average 4 commanders. 2 small groups (towers) and two large groups (keeps).

- Im not sure your point 3 is clear but i think this could be fixed by allowing the guild to set what level member can be commander in the guild settings. (officers and leader)

I do agree aswell, that commander and guild claiming should not be related, after all, guild claiming is pretty much only a matter of speed after a keep or tower is lost, that you are able to talk to that guy faster than anyone else, doesnt make you a good commander
