Ok if you were not paying attention over the past month to Guild Wars 2 news announcements there has been some major movement on the Guild System front. While I can't possibly place everything in these notes what I can do is link their news posts and give you some highlights.
- Cross-Guild Communication Incoming! (ESO style) - Once HoT launches, you will be able to choose the order of your Guilds and communicate with each by using /g1 - /g5. The /g chat will automatically go to the one you are representing. What does this mean for you? This means whether you're in a skilled PvP venture with KONG, in a roleplay event, or repping another guild, you will be able to see Gaiscioch and SORC chat. This should make matters a lot easier when coordinating and getting the word out on invasions and events. Remember how I asked everyone to be part of at least 1 other guild? Well now that really pays off. Our ripple will be vast. If you see someone on GSCH chat calling for help, I ask that you relay it to your other guild chats. This will help us call to arms and aid our WvW teams in maintaining control.
- Guild Housing - With HoT, guilds are able to sign up to lay siege to Mordreth in the new expansion and secure territory for their house. By clearing and preventing recapture a guild is able to create a guild zone. Complete with upgradable buildings and personalization.
- Unlimited Guild Missions - Come HoT, we will no longer be required to use influence to build missions to use. This will greatly change the dynamic of our weekly events. However it also means that anytime you want to get some friends together and do them you can. They can be triggered at any moment and you can use the portal in the guild hall to go directly to them. Additionally some of the missions have been placed within their own instance to allow for easier grouping without overflows.
- Guild Hall Decorations: These will be purchasable from a vendor and also found throughout the world in various places such as the top of jumping puzzles, on boss creatures, etc. I have plans to make a mad dash to gather as many of these as possible and set aside an area of our Guild Hall to create a living memorial for our fallen Gaiscioch. Aside from that I plan to let you guys get creative and will be allowing you to place items throughout the building but will likely assign a few people to make sure nothing terrible happens visually ;P
