Guild Wars 2

So with the expansion guild calming will become more significant and I was thinking. What if there was a leaderboard tied to this idea of guild claiming? For example you could track stats like how long objectives are held once claimed (average, highest, lowest). You could track how many attacks get repelled. And factor them into a score that would somehow weight the score based on the type of objective held so that holding a camp longer might be worth more than a keep that is harder to flip.

I’m not 100% sure what the current or new API will allow but this might even be a possible thing to do using the API instead of hoping AreanaNet will make it. I know people have always wanting a more ‘meaningful’ leaderboard for WvW and this might be a good way to go about it while promoting the core of WvW that is to capture and hold objectives.

Any thoughts on this idea?

I would love to see a toggle-able option on the MOS (or similar site) where you could see how long an objective has stood (which MOS currently has) PLUS how many attacks that objective has withstood.

It might be hard to discern between the door-tapping contest and an actual attack though — wonder how you could differentiate….

the problem with that is that the guild that claimed an objective isn’t necessarily the one defending it for all those hours. So those numbers are meaningless.

Sorry but many times guilds claim places like Garrison/Home EBG keep, and bother to not run a single buff or fight to defend, yet the structures do not change as often as others, so it’d falsely put guilds into “lead”.

That’s why it would ideally track the number of attacks on it and it would weight different objectives based on their ‘difficulty’ to hold.

I understand it would’t be perfect but there was already a suggestion to drop guild rep from objectives when no guild members on on the map (I think they are doing something like this but just with changing the upgrade slots). So guilds would only get ‘points’ while they had at least one on the map. Some times a good defense is to play offensive.

My way of describing it may not be perfect and may not be they best way to determine the ‘best’ guild in WvW but I’m more interested in weather people think this would be something work ArenaNet or a site like mos millenium, looking into in the future.
