Guild Wars 2

There has been a storm in Western Europe and 9 people in Germany died to it. I think the tree tonics are offensive now too.

At least you find yourselves funny.

The corporation angle to your guild is quite amusing but your posters (trolls) here are childish and boring.

Can we keep this thread about the match up please.

You should sign up for ‘Sense of Humour…not everyone has one’, it helps me a lot in my days as Employee.

Tired of trying to get your friends into WvWvW, but the queues are too high to actually enter anything? Here is the solution: reservations.

It works like a bakery, you reserve some bread and then you pick it up at that time. Simple, but now in GW2:

You reserve (in-game option) for a time and date. Say, Saturday, 20:00 GMT. Now, you click the amount of persons and the guild/names (from friendlist). 5 Persons for example. Now, you reserved 5 spots on Saturday 20th October 2012, 20:00 GMT, for 5 persons. There can be a queue for this one as well.

Now this can raise questions, like:

What happens if you’re at that time but not accepted?
I think it can be possible to make the reservation account-bound. this way, if there’s 5 players that you want, say, 5 friends, are in your group, you should be instantly entered. This way you will be accepted.

Can people abuse it/troll it?
No, the queue reservation should reset 15 minutes after the date has passed, if someone is late or trolling, it won’t have effect for at least 15 minutes. Reservations can only be used once a week, so you can’t reserve every day for every time. The minimum of this reservation should (in my opinion) be 3, else everyone can reserve for themselves – this can be an option as well (maybe?). There can be logs of these reservations, which show who reserved what and if it actually happened. Not that someone reserved for 3 and went with 1 in, so he could join for himself. This can result into one month penalty for no reservations.

How do I reserve then?
In the World versus World tab should be an extra option ’’reserve’’, then you can click on options, like you’re filling in a survey where you don’t have to click. There’s a variety of answers to the questions, like:

- What date would you want to reserve?
- What time on this date would you want to play?
- Which borderlands would you like to play on (Red/Blue/Green/Eternal)
- How many players will join the battle?
- What are the names of these players (optional, depends if you want a Guild group or close friend group).

Press send and an automatic system can now ‘reserve’ for the Guild or accounts. Like the Trading Post, the WvWvW administrator will send the x people a mail. If it’s Guild-linked, then the x players should mention that they go at that time, or there should be another system bound to this.

Reserving is possible 1 week before the actual date. This is handier for early administration, and the players have one week to move their schedule, instead of the ‘not-sure’ mentality. When WvWvW resets, the reservation will still be there, yet, if your server degraded or promoted a WvWvW, and the colours of their server change, it can be possible that the players don’t want to play on those borderlands. In this case, their reservation (also in the B-tab / WvWvW tab) can be cancelled. It can be a tab, just like you can remove items on the Trading Post when it doesn’t sell.

As a bonus, to make it more useful, there can be an option that Commanders got priority over ‘normal’ players, to get a group going. The feature Commander can then set their own group/squad together and can set times. This way, he is not bound to friends that can’t join.

I hope you like this idea, and if there’s any addition to this idea, I’d like to hear it.
