Guild Wars 2

Make it so that guilds can set “WvW hours” maybe twice a week for 3hour stretches of time. And during those hours, guild members who are representing and participating in WvW get bonus WXP and reward track XP.

This would give added incentive and tangible reason for people to WvW together. It would also encourage guilds to recruit members more efficiently and the completion of WvW guild missions.

Two of the issues I’ve seen come up, and seen as reasons why BG is so successful are “organization” and “coverage”. Coverage really meaning consistent participation in WvW. So with this feature, I think it would put more power in the hands of guilds to organize player participation. Instead of having rough weekly “rally times”, guilds will be able to set objective hours each week, with real in-game rewards.

Currently the guild I am in has roughly 3 “rallies” each week, all in the evening. But I am also a roamer/scout type player, who enjoys taking smaller objectives, scouting and gathering nodes. So I feel lax when it comes to participating in rallies. Also I am not in any other wvw guilds. But with this feature, I can see myself reasonably joining multiple wvw guilds, each with different “WvW hours”, to receive more bonus XP! Also in the hopes of playing with others more consistently.

I don’t know how many hours a guild would be able to set, or how much bonus xp would be reasonable or other system mechanics (like how often can a guild change wvw hours), but I think this is a great concept. Any thoughts appreciated.

There is a guild dev team and the last time I heard from them, was many many many months ago.

I did not join my guild for more WXP or more reward track boxes (I so hate those boxes). The incentive for me is to have players I can rely on next to me. Playing WvW together with guild mates is very rewarding on itself.

Don’t the WvW guild missions and Guild WvW Reward Track Boost already cover your suggestion?

No it’s not the same. The Guild boosts act like consumables, like a guild banner actually. And guild missions are specific. Adding a blanket bonus for set periods of time could enhance participation, separate from guild missions. But sure guilds might choose to knock out missions during that time.

I think it could be interesting if you could build a ‘super’ banner for your guild to use when you want to go out and do something structured. Very expensive consumable but gives you a massive buff to a certain activity, and not necessarily just a banner for WvW.

The “super” banner already exists – it’s called a Heroes Banner.

That’s just every other banner stickytaped together, that’s hardly exciting.
