Citat:

The situation worsens for the citizens of Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. Volunteers have eased the burden, but more refugees hobble down from the Shiverpeaks. The storm there gains momentum, but the forces of good are beginning to rally. They’re sending their heroes to defend the land and its peoples. Someone must hold back the gathering storm.

In Flame and Frost: The Gathering Storm, the second installment in this four-part series, the stakes are raised, and battles rage, in the foothills of the Shiverpeaks.

NEW FEATURES

New sPvP Arena: Spirit Watch – A new sPvP arena based around the shrines of the Norn Spirits of the Wild. The mechanic in this new map involves an Orb of Ascension, which will give bonus points when delivered to a control point in a capture the flag/domination mashup.

Guild Missions – This new form of content sounds similar in function to dailies and monthlies, but it’s focused around group play instead of individual. Guilds will be given missions including tasks such as bounties, puzzles, or other group challenges and earn guild merits, used for unlocking upgrades and rewards.

Two Team Rated Play in sPvP - We’ve had matchmaking for individual players since launch through the hot join system in sPvP, but now ArenaNet is adding a similar service for matching teams based on average player rating, giving sPvP groups another option outside of tournaments for playing together.

Choose Your Own Daily Achievements – Not satisfied with fixing Guild Wars 2 dailies once, the daily achievement system will be changed again to allow players to select which achievements they want to do, opening up more opportunities for different styles of play.

Preview Items in the Trading Post - Try before you buy! You’ll have the ability to preview items in the Trading Post before you buy them. Simply right-click an item icon and select “Preview” to see the item equipped on your character. Check out how a weapon looks by itself, how it looks when sheathed, and how it looks when wielded by your character.

MMORPG: Let’s talk about the Guild Missions now, as I know my own guild is going to be stoked about them. Can you give us some examples of how they’ll work, and what they’ll be about?

COLIN: The guild mission system is a really exciting advancement of our event system, and for guilds worldwide. The system allows people in a guild to work together to unlock guild upgrades that allow them to go on missions together. These missions can be kicked off by the specific guild that has researched that mission, but once they are activated, anyone can jump in and participate to help the guild finish the mission if they wish. The missions are designed such that some components of the mission can only be completed by the guild themselves, but each of them has aspects other players can assist with as well, so everyone has something they can do during the mission.

Effectively, this system allows guilds to literally create content across the world for everyone to experience. When one of these missions is created, often times you’ll see a banner with the guilds name and emblem that created the content. This serves two purposes. It’s a great recruiting tool for guilds to find players by having them join them on missions and if they stand out, inviting them to the guild. It also means guilds will really gain notoriety on their world; you’ll get to know the guilds creating this content and those guilds will become more famous and important in the community.

Pentru mine este interesanta si bine venita idea cu "selectable daily achievements" si "living story"-ul din PvE. Restul - sPvP-ul si guild rewards - nu sunt de nasul meu.

Citat:

February’s release will include the following mission types:

Guild Bounty – Your guild is tasked with tracking down and capturing various targets for the Orders. These people are wanted for a variety of reasons and have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves to resist arrest!

Guild Trek – Think you know Tyria? Well the Tyrian Explorer’s Society has a challenge for you! Find the list of locations before time runs out.

Guild Challenge – These challenges leverage our existing event system but are specifically geared to require multi-group, coordinated play to succeed. So gather your guild and see if you’re up to the challenge!

Guild Rush – Test your skills with a mad dash over harrowing terrain, traps, and other hidden dangers. Just remember, there’s safety in numbers!

Guild Puzzle – It’s a puzzle and a jumping challenge all in one! This mission type requires multi-group coordination as well as individual jumping skills to get to the treasure at the end.

In sfarsit, notiunea de "guild" incepe sa capete contur iar activitatile "cu guilda" pot fi pre-planificate. Ne mai lipseste calendarul-ingame si lucrurile incep sa intre pe fagasul normal. Asta ar trebui implementata si in W3.

Cine stie, poate in viitor o misiune pt guilda ar fi - Go capture 3 enemy supply camps, 2 towers and a castle
