Guild Wars 2

i think i remember seeing that back in the day when i was exploring the game hardcore….

Much like a Character Name change contract a Guild name contract would allow a guild leader to change a guild name. There would be basic restrictions such as how old the guild is and how recently a name has been changed. Example: A guild name can be changed for the first time after 1 year. And new changes every 3 months after a change. I imagine it would be a good cash shop item. this would be great for old guilds just gathering dust that want a new beginning with a new name without losing all their upgrades.

Same on Darkhaven

Our monthly hunt winners for January!

Kvothe The Stalwart – Midnight dye
Kelda Eiswolf – 10 powerful bloods
Mirana Diviner – mini Yaotle

I’m all for the dungeon changes, however you made one major mistake. You did not release the changes to dungeons in one whole piece. Until some of the dungeons get nerfed such as CoE you have essentially killed some dungeons until they get nerfed. Alpha is nearly impossible to take out in one go on the final fight if you cant rez and run back to keep him from resetting. You should have released the whole dungeon updates as one entire whole.

I agree on this one…. that would be real handy

i most want to see improvements and additions to the guild system, and additional legendary weapon skins

I like this idea…. stary midnight dye! a black abyss with twinkling stars

i would love to play a stone dwarf!!!

Ok first i added a ton of new things to the list so check em out….

Kreindis.2807:

The main problem with most of the list is that there is no sense of balance at all, because many of the features listed are customizable ones that would directly affect gameplay, unless there would (for example) be a limit on how many turrets you can have in your town/hall or a pool of resources that no guild can exceed when building their town.

This would however simply encourage min/maxing if any sort of competitive play is involved, furthermore if your guild hall is open to attack at any period in 24 hours, you’re going to lose the guild hall when your entire guild is asleep except for like 2 members.

Kreindis: I mentioned earlier that it would work like the keeps in WvW. You would have set plots for everything including the guild town defenses. You would have to build and repair your walls and turrets etc. If you cant afford to unlock and build them all then you obviously wont have them. You would first have to unlock them under guild structures in order to build them. Building and repairing would take crafting mats such as woods and metals.

In regards to the attacking of a guild it would hafta work much like the ladder system from GW1. First the guild would challenge the other guild to battle. Both guilds would then put forth their attacking and defending teams. A time will be set for the battle in 24+hrs from the time of a challenge. So you could technically challenge a guild the moment they get a trophy but you wont be able to attack til their grace period runs out. If the defending guild does not choose their members for the battle than any members up to the number of attacking/defending pool max may then join in at the time of battle.

I agree… a mini pet equip slot would be perfect… i wana show off my jac alop 24/7 not just when i happen to remember….

i thought about the guild airship thing as well… just not sure how it would be implemented… would be cool though

500+ houses would get pretty big and cumbersome pretty fast…..

alliances would be more of a chat between friendly guilds….. super guilds that have multiple guild set up would benifit from it for instance… as would small guilds…..

Also added a guild armor tier idea to the list…..

It’s not a total city sim tbh. it’s more of a hybrid between GW1 guild halls and the city of heroes bases. It wouldn’t be fully customizable. It would be rather simple. you would have empty plots that you could place one of a list of buildings from. Changing the building theme would change them across all building. Say you’d rather have an asian theme to your buildings… or you could stick with the basic farm style buildings or have a stone keep styled buildings.

The plot locations would stay the same and the buildings would look the same based on your guilds building theme…. and GW1 already had diferent locations you could choose from and purchase. AS well as npcs you could add. This only goes a small bit beyond that. As for fortifications that would work much like the keep system in WvW. The fortifications and defenses would be in the same places but could be improved and repaired.

Back items are the only accessory we get to see… the problem is we are always stuck with this bland brown color. Allow us to dye some of them such as quivers and backpacks. It would be a great improvement to the back items.

Ok i’ve seen a few guild related posts here and there. Now here is my personal list i’ve compiled based on what i’ve seen and or thought of that would best improve the guild experience. Now some of them arenanet has already said they intend to do and i shall mark off each suggestion on the list as it comes to pass…. this is GUILD wars after all so lets improve the guild experience.

Guild Halls/Towns: i have seen many suggestions on rather than bring back the halls to instead give us towns that we can build and customize. I would very much like to see this myself. Allow us to add specific buildings, merchants and even locations. Give some basic locations as a small list that each guild can start out with then allow the guild to purchase or unlock better locations. Say we start with basic town farm or cave locations. Then a guild could choose to either stay there or unlock or purchase maybe a rainforest or beach location. You could then add npcs with guild discounts much like in the first gw. In addition you can add buildings, defenses, decorations etc and improve them or purchase different styles of buildings.
Guild Wars: Ok its guild wars and we’ve been told we’ll see guild wars soon. Right now youre looking at primarily server wars. But is the guild wars gonna just be a rehash of the server wars? I hope not. Here’s what i’d like to see. On top of making guild towns you will then have battles involving said towns. First the guilds on a server will fight over trophys in a special region that will involve not just combat but skill, for example solve riddles, or jump puzzles to get to the trophy first and fight for the trophy. The winning guild gets their trophy placed in their guild town either out in the open or in a protected vault if they have built a vault in their town. At this point they have a 24hr grace period where their guild town is safe and they may reap the benifits of the given trophy may it be bones exp per kill or gold or magic find etc. Each guild may have one trophy at a time. Now once the grace period runs out another guild may attack their town after declaring war on them and potentially steal their trophy. After a full week the trophys reset and go back to their starting location, to prevent any one guild from keeping a trophy forever.
Guild Calendar: An in game calendar where a guild can post events and holiday events can be listed as well. This would be an additional tab in the guild window.
Logging On MOTD: Show the message of the day in chat window when players log on. Its a simple fix and much needed. I constantly get surprised reply’s about my guild having a website and voice chat even though its in the message of the day because they never check the guild window.
Message of the Day Edit: Allow us to edit the existing message of the day without it all erasing. Sometimes i just want to edit a small portion of the motd and keep some of it. For example when i want to edit something small but keep the voice chat info in the message of the day i hafta write it down first because it erases…
Guild Alliance: same as the first guild wars form alliances to help each other out.
Guild Cape: We miss the gorgeous capes from the first guild wars. The backpacks are great and all but not everyone is an engineer….
Banner Background Color: Allow us to set guild color backgrounds. That way our banners can have a different background color… this would also change the base color of backpacks and capes.
Guild Armor Tiers: The guild armors are rather bland for the most part and don’t really encourage people to get them especially at the current cost. Out of all of them only the medium one is decent and that one still makes you look like u have bubble butt. So why not add some unlock-able tiers. Much like the racial armors you would have additional tiers of armor that the guild has to unlock, and they would come at a higher cost. These higher tiers would need to be more elaborate and enjoyable to look at and wear than the current ones.
Guild Airships: Speaks for itself really….
Last Represent Date: A date that shows the last day a player represented the guild. It’s rather frustrating trying to figure out who to remove from the guild due to inactivity when you cant even tell how long they’ve been gone from the guild. This would both include represent status and log in status. If you haven’t logged on you obviously haven’t represented. At the very least a last week, over a week, over a month would do wonders.
Guild Member Nicknames: This would allow you to identify alt addicts or people who perform special tasks in the guild, or just have some fun.
Separate Rank Edit & Invite: Separate the two powers as sometimes you may want someone to be able to invite but not to kick or promote/demote.
Guild Name On Banner: Show guild name when mouse hovers over banner.

((please note my bow ideas are serious ideas though i do poke a lil fun around before and after my ideas…..))

Ok here’s my problem. Most of the legendary weapons are these epic gorgeous looking weapons with great special effects and some even have these awesome footstep effects. Then there’s the bows…. just the bows….. nothing really special about them at all. I mean sure they’re great if you’re a five year old girl. But seriously what are the real percentage of five year old girls to other players? I’m not saying get rid of them cause ya sure some people will want them, but right now it’s as if the game makers hate rangers, most of our outfits are dresses even for the male toons, we constantly get nerfed (not a problem for me as i like a challenge but whatev’), and then we get flower bows and rainbow bows. Really? It’s like you’re saying everyone who plays a ranger is a girl…..

So here’s my idea. rather than replace them like many people suggest lets release a new series of legendary weapons. Make some girly versions for the other weapon types and add some nicer looking bows that someone other than a five year old girl will like. Here’s my legendary bow suggestions….

Furnace bow — A legendary version of my personal fav bow skin… The furnace bow ignites at last. Flames burst forth from the vents and molten liquid drips slowly from it as it fires fiery arrows.
Blizzard bow — An icy bow that leaves a frosty trail in its wake. Frozen ice bolts fire forth from this bow.
Midnight bow — Combine the furnace bow and the blizzard bow to create a bow the glows like the midnight moon. Dark glowing arrows shall fire from this bow and in your wake are silvery footsteps of the midnight moon.

Now for the other legendary weapon counterparts i was thinking we could add some more flowery weapons…. maybe even a pink frilly axe or a loli-pop hammer, and how about a great sword that puts lipstick on every mob it hits…. ya thats how us rangers feal about the legendary bow choices…. give us rangers a break for once please….

not to mention unless you have an invisible bag you may accidentally sell it or use deposit all collectibles and send it to the bank lol

We will be hosting our monthly hunt on the 28th! The hunt is open to all guild members as well as everyone in the chosen zone when the hunt commences. The hunt will be held on Darkhaven server. This month we will be holding our hunt in one of the capital cities. The prizes will include 1 rare dye, 1 rare mini, and a small stack of rare crafting materials.

For info on the date and time click here http://theskullbrigade.wikispaces.com/Calendar to view the info on our calendar.

Each player may win only one prize. First round winner gets first prize choice and second winner gets second prize choice. Third winner wins the remaining prize. I will post the prizes closer to the day of the hunt.

The Skull Brigade {TSB} is a community based guild. We are focused on having fun and helping each other out. We do everything from PvP to PvE, leveling runs to vista runs etc, and still manage to remain a “casual” guild.

If you’re looking for a guild that will help out and treat you like family rather than a number than this is the guild for you!

We currently have a dedicated dungeon/Fractal player base and a dedicated WvW player base.

Look me up in game if you’re interested in joining.

I would like to see an equip slot for mini pets. This would allow the player to equip their favorite mini pet so it can always be out. That way you wouldn’t have to reuse it every time u zone or die…..

Let the minis be free!!!!

this could possibly in the future allow for minis to have other uses…. maybe give some of them a little storage space…. or have them auto pick up loot or gold for a player…. or send them to pick stuff up at the auction house….

(mostly i just want to equip my mini to be out all the time i personally dont care about the other stuff for mini but knew some people would be offended if i didnt suggest that aspect as well lol)
