Guild Wars 2

Grumwulf.9602:

Give everyone the ability to write one then you can use it like a shoutbox. You can read all the past messages in history.

That’s also a nice idea! But then again they need to have the ability that people will get the message or the last message appear in the chatbox or something that people will check it.

You see the MotD every time you log in with a character in GW1. I never understood why it wasn’t so in GW2. I really miss that message, as it was an awesome tool to point people to certain threads in our guild forum. Now, people don’t see it unless they happen to use the guild screen…

yea exactly what I mean. Only people who actually use the guild screen and then the question is would they read it? So with this option for returning it makes the MotD not useless

Hey all,

I was wondering if it’s a nice idea to have the message of the day pop up in the chat every time you log in or something?

Because I feel kind of useless to put a message of the day because I don’t know if people will read it and with this idea everyone gets the message.

What are you thinking about this idea?

If it is like WoW where it is just there and spammed out when people talk then I don’t see why not. If it becomes like a popup like when you log into vent then HECK NO! I hate that.

Yeah that thing like WoW has! Then everyone can see the message in the chat and then the point of message of the day isn’t pointless

yes i see, but indeed my guild is a lager guild and the members in the guild are from whole europe. Then it’s better to have only one message that will be showed to all the members.

But do you think it will be an option for Arenanet to take a look at this?

Yeah I see but I think the mechanics can be approved so members will more often check the message or the guild tab. I got the feeling that somehow even if the message is a thank you a few will actually read it?

My Sylvari Thief.

Agemnon.4608:

When they represent you and them both receive the benefits of being in the guild, they get access to what ever you allow there rank to access and the guild chat, and you get there influence points as they lv up, if there not representing then its a waste for everyone. (influence points are used to buy upgrades for the guild)

And i would support the automatic option to represent the fisrt guild you join, sometimes you forget or just don’t know.

So the people in my guild who doesn’t represent they doesn’t mean anything to my guild?

Yes that is the problem the most people don’t know it and then they don’t represent. My way to get represents are just by asking but not all the members will or can reply. And if the people who doesn’t represent the guild not give influence and don’t see the guild chat and stuff it’s pointless to have them in the guild right?

This is because you can be in multiple guilds at once. So you have to be able to toggle on the fly.

Yes i know but if you only have one guild isn’t it better to automatically represent that guild you joined? And if you have more guilds you can use the represent and the stand down buttons for switching between the guilds.

ZannX.4058:

The current guild system is somewhat lacking in terms of multiple guilds.

If someone were to tell me that you could be in more than one guild in GW2, I wouldn’t take it to mean “Really only one guild, but you could kinda sorta be in others.”

Anet shouldn’t have gone half way with this system. Two things need to change about guilds:

1) Influence and benefits shouldn’t be server specific. I get the idea of having different branches of your guild on different servers, but even then I think those guilds would rather it be a large pool.

2) You should still have access to Gchat for guilds you aren’t representing. This is the essential social medium for joining a guild. Right now it’s just a list of people with no interaction as a group unless you’re representing.

Point 2 that’s exactly what I was thinking! The part of more guilds is to be social but if you don’t represent the guild you don’t have any part of the social aspect. That’s where my suggestion came in. If you are joining your first guild you are automatically represented so that you have the social part and the guild can have the profit of getting influences.

Ow thanks really

Okay thanks! And do you guys get a lot of influence? Because sometimes my guild get like 100 at once but the other day we get only 10-20-30.

Yeah you guys are right. That’s what i’m doing now just ask them by mail or whisper them to represent and then I hope they will answer or refuse.

That idea of a pop up or something is also a good idea that’s what the guild explanation need i think.

So the people who don’t represent can’t get the benefits of my guild? And can they see the guild chat or not?

Bel Geode.8129:

I have one person in my guild who does not represent our guild, because she is in a wvw pvp guild also, and is constantly in the wvw maps. I am not about to kick her out however because she is a good friend. My task as guild leader is to get the other guildmates comfortable with the game (I have a lot of ex Star Wars Galaxies players trying to adjust to this game). It is my plan when we all get decent level and skill proficiency to hop into wvw more often, at which point I am sure my friend will start repping us.

I admit it can seem a little frustrating to have one person not “playing with the team”, but I cannot really blame her. She is doing what she loves in game, and it is making her happy.

That’s true but i don’t kick them from the guild I just was wondering what it meant! But if someone already has a guild or something then it’s okay but what makes no sense at all is that people with no other guild aren’t representing as well.

I think the option is nice to have but it can be optimized by the fact that it is your first guild that you automatically represent that guild.

I have a question, I made my own guild and we have 30 members but only 10/15 are really representing my guild.

So the question is what’s the meaning of representing and what if people are not representing what does the mean for the guild?

And is it a good idea to add the option that everybody who entered a guild for the first time that they automatically represent the first guild and if they join a second one then they can choose to represent that guild?

Greetings

We have now 30 people in the guild. As I said before this guild is a new fresh guild so we started with 2 people and are still inviting and upgrading so we will get there in a few weeks or maybe days!

That’s good to hear that you will try our guild
If you can, invite blokje to your friendlist I will be only in the evening (+2 I live in the Netherlands). I’m adding you as soon as I login.
Our guild is growing and we are just evolving and try to make it as sociaal and good as possible and we can use your help
If you have any suggestions for the guild I’m glad to hear them so we can make it even better.

What time is the guild active?
This guild is active at all the times one time more then the others but in the evenings this guild is loaded with people.
Which is the guild more orientated around, PvE, sPvP, or WvW?
We are planning to build an all around guild, help each other out and do pvp to show our strength.
Do either of your guilds use voice communication?
We have skype for now but we are working at it and I’m planning to make a website too.

If you need more information just ask

Have a nice day!
