I wonder what this can entail? Something simple like hold any objective for x amount of time or more specific like take Redbriar and hold it for x amount of time (1.5 hour time limit). Either way I’m excited that there will be a way to make WvW have a ‘more’ meaningful effect from time to time. Also I hope it shows nearby enemies when a guild is trying to complete one so that you can rally your server to stop them. :P

Wait, wvw missions, as in ‘bring a whole bunch of pvpe’rs to fill up the map but only concentrating on one thing’? oh joy…

Maybe they can work in a way that only people who actually play wvw get the resulting buffs…

Anyway, looks like my tiny guild will have to go and will have to join a bigger one to reap the benefits of the new system.

PvP/WvW missions exist because they are getting rid of influence and merits. Guilds will use a new currency called favor which is only obtained from missions. When they announced this, WvW guilds complained that they didn’t want to do PvE for guild upgrades.

If I had to guess (and we’ll see if this correct tomorrow), guilds will only be able to obtain a certain amount of favor a week and won’t have to do every mission. So PvE guilds won’t come to WvW and WvW guilds won’t have to do PvE. I’m hoping this is the case.
