Guild Wars 2

Ok, top 3 priorities for me:

1. That guild halls be pretty easily available to guilds of all sizes.

2. That it provides a reason to be in a particular guild such as being able to GvG with
them and able to enjoy any other benefits that go along. I always thought that GvG
was the main reason to be in a guild in GW1 – everything else you could do without
being in one including playing with friends from all different guilds!

3. That basic amenities are pretty easily available to guilds of all sizes such as crafting
stations. Perhaps a little more influence (or whatever other currency to be used)
could be used to add extra luxuries if a guild desired it.

Thanks

Hi and Chris hope everything is well since you have been back.

I liked the way Guild Halls were implemented in GW1 and think it works as an instance. Have a button to get there from anywhere you are in the world and also though be able to get anywhere in the world from there. This allows groups to get organized better for the tougher missions especially. This also allows people to hang out for the special events Guilds want to run for other guildies and friends only.

Perhaps even an NPC there that allows the entire party to go together to wvw, dungeon, or guild mission if everyone has the waypoint.

Have an optional “open hall” mode that the leader can activate so if those events are open to anyone then any guild member can invite anyone to the hall for the time set by the leader to join in without becoming a member. A tab could be made with a list of guilds that have an “open hall” at an NPC in a major city with a short description of event if desired. People could then choose and visit that hall, meet new guilds and people. Leader could also designate certain other guilds as allies which would always allow those members also to visit anytime without being members.

Let the guild halls have the amenities like in GW1 with merchants and crafters, etc. and let them have different themes with some choices and then add more choices later.

If people are using home borderlands for merchants and shopping and such then halls will take people that want to shop and craft out of the queues for people who want to really wvw so that would help solve that problem.

Still it may empty out some of the capital cities but then if people are going to borderlands for services anyway then those people aren’t in the capital cities. Could still keep the trading post in the capital cities to keep them going there and there are the festivities in those cities to draw crowds.

Whatever the end result if there is a Guild Hall then I would definitely like to see it so that it can get used later (or sooner the better) for GvG.

Thanks
