Guild Wars 2

The last update of WvW was a success, I think that Anet should take advantage of the buzz that the thing generated and implement the guild versus guild.

Now that Anet has mastered instance technology, they could implement something similar to the Neverwinter Gauntlgrym system.

Gauntlgrym was a weekly battle, so I vaguely remember it, 50×50. It occurred between two sides, a “red” and a “blue”. Individual players could not sign up, only guild leaders who in guild settings chose whether it was “red” or “blue.”

The system could be easily “cloned” and adapted to the guild vs. guild demand, since 50 is the current commander limit.

Through a npc, a commander, with his formed group, would choose the “side”, Then when the time of the “battle of guilds” arrives, the two groups are teleported to fight each other.

and about the “prizes” and the like, I let the experts think, in particular, I would find it interesting that the prize for victory in this, were materials to upgrade the hall guild.

The problem with any rule based implementation of GvG as part of WvW – whether it be easy or hard – is that it goes against the principle of WvW. Meaning, the gameplay mode is what we make of it. All of us, together. We set the rules. When you start picking out 20 people to go fight against 20 other people in their own little instance, it’s no longer WvW. If it’s not observed in open WvW, it’s not going to be very fun for us together. There is no danger fighting in your own instance, no involvement, no excitement. You’re not part of the world anymore or the matchup.

If you want these types of instances then call it what it is because this antithesis to WvW already exist in the game. It’s Edge Of The Mists. Guilds can easily go there and have their GvGs in an instance that has next to zero impact on WvW.

Indeed.

Eotm is a hassle, and conflicts with those that actually want to do Eotm…but Spvp’s foundation is better suited for what the OP is asking for: instancing, and group match making.

If they could use the arena area map from obsidian sanctum, make it its own instance, like a PvP arena but no amulets. Would allow for most of what is wanted. It would also allow for same sever GvGs, cross tier GvGs, and same tier GvGs,

“Stop ruining my game mode!”

Cool idea, but it’s not really WvW related.

How about, and just spitballing here, Anet sold instanced versions of OS to guilds like it was done with the old sPvP system. Anet makes money, guilds get to fight each other without crappy thieves interfering. Add a spectator mode and Blammo, a whole game mode Anet doesn’t have to curate that would do nothing but good for GW2.

I expect a 15% return on any profits made from my idea. Timestamped.
