Guild Wars 2

Two points:
1) complaints about this guild mission being the AoW tree
Would you have felt better if they had added a whole new tree for GMs, called it Guild Mission Tree, and made the first level, which unlocks bounties, cost 500k influence? Your problem is with the cost, not that it’s in the AoW tree. And related to this…
2) smaller guilds can’t access guild missions because of the cost
If your guild is so small that you can’t earn this much influence your guild is (likely) too small to do any of these missions. Sorry. It’s like complaining about how all dungeons have been designed for 5 players and your 2 person guild can’t do any of it.

Just not true. I have no qualms about the cost – the advantage of having little time to game is that all that other time fills up my wallet. Buying the influence is a non-issue.

The lag between now and whenever AoW gets from 0 to 5 is the issue. Which incidentally could be made a non-issue entirely by removing the merit cost. Simple fix.

It’s designed for larger groups – I’m fine with that. Forcing an enormous lag-time on my already limited gaming is the issue. An issue that seems nonsensical in a game where “play it your way” is the all-encompassing theme.

So no, my issue is NOT with cost. Thanks for trying, have a nice day.

Speaking of feedback, since ANet seems largely disinclined to comment about our posts, can I get the forum’s feed back on a simple fix? It regards the availability of non-War guild missions. Also please correct me if I’m just misinformed.

I only see one glaring issue with the guild missions.

Yes, you can train other non-PVP/Non-WvW mission types from other trees,… BUT they require guild commendations (or whatever the currency is called) to UNLOCK them.

The only way to get commendations is to train War to lvl5 and then run the distasteful (to ME, hence MY issue) PvP style guild missions to get the PvE missions unlocked.

Can’t we simply remove the commendation requirements from the other unlocks? If GW2 is supposed to be a game where you get to choose your own play-style, and play the game as you enjoy it – this seems to be very much the opposite.

The gold for influence, the time, that will come – big deal. But being forced into a direction I resent and do not enjoy is not what I expected from ArenaNet. Honestly I had had no “downsides” to admit when talking to other MMO gamers. This is my first, and since it a game called *Guild*Wars, I consider it a big one.

My Suggestion:
Remove commendation requirements from other unlocks. That is my humble and fervent suggestion. Please.

Comments? Suggestions? Insults? I’ll take any feedback at this point.

Thanks!

I think the masses have spoken, the small guilds are in agreement that the current system alienates them from the guild mission content.
:)

The masses have not spoken! The masses are playing the game happily… only the whiners have spoken..

Only thing worse that whiners are those who whine about whiners… 2nd order whiners? Lol.

Besides with ~25,000 views on this post alone there’s obviously a significant concern – not the majority clearly, but if you’re not one of them what are you doing?
