Mini-Game(s) In Guild Hall!

Fielding a GvG team in a timely manner is difficult for many guilds. There are so many variables in dealing with 8 people that a team that would ideally take 5-10 minutes to form may take up to an hour to form. The biggest enemy of GvG is time. I myself do not enjoy running mindlessly in the guild hall while I wait for someone to: Reboot, restart guild wars, finish some 'important' PvE mission, create the PvP equipment, set up skills, get a drink, use the bathroom, get a guest, or duke it out with another about the build. Eventually all this waiting will cause someone to 'call it a night' and log out.

Sure I could just go into observer mode, do some quick RA, or something else while I wait for the party, but that's not conducive in forming the team as I would be wasting more time for everyone else. So why not make the guild hall a more interesting location? Why not create an incentive to remain in the guild hall and not bore everyone out of their mind(s) at the same time? Why not create a selection of mini-games to keep people engaged as they wait?

For the mini-game(s) itself, there is no limit on creativity. They could be classic games like Tetris, Pac-Man, Space Invader, or even Guild War's very own.... Skill Quiz! in which you would fill in the blanks for energy cost, recharge time, damage @ X attribute points, etc. Players can access these mini-games either through their menu or an NPC in the guild hall. There should be no pay-to-play fee, nor should there be rewards for these mini-games aside from the entertainment value. And of course, there must be a pause button for those moments when you need to quickly tend to a guild member's question, form the party, change character build/skills, etc.

So incorporating mini-games in the guild hall would definitely improve my GvG experience. It would simmer tempers and help players remain on for GvG while we wait for people to reboot, restart guild wars, finish some 'important' PvE mission, create the PvP equipment, set up skills, get a drink, use the bathroom, get a guest, or duke it out with another about the build.

this has been broguht up before but not quite how you put it, i would love something like this put in for the same reasons as you

Love it, excellent observation of one of the difficulties of putting together a gvg team.

/signed

nice idea, but the classic games are probably copyrighted and what not but im sure they could make similar ones

/signed

/sign just as I agree with the other thread.

YES!!!! Would love this ! /signed

Yes please! Guild games 20k for the trader/event planner guy. It would take a bit to buy him but once you do it'd be killer.

/signed

If this gets implemented, he's gonna be the first guy that I get when I get a Guild Hall.

/SIGNED FTW!!!

interesting...
worth giving a shot

It'd also be nice if you could play Chess would Guild Wars models because Chess is the shiz.

Althought there are many pros they do not add up to the amount of cons.
There are cons such as may make even more distractinons while waiting like as you have 7 ppl your waiting for someone to get out "WAIT IM GONNA BEAT MY HIGH SCORE!" or "NOT NOW IM BUSY CAN WE GVG LATA!?"

sides while you wait nuttin wrong with RA its quick and you get replaced with someone else so the team dont get mad

ha that seems like a player problem more than an idea issue.... if they cant control themselves then they are sad..... bad reason for not signing this really

/signed like it
if someone is like that then just tell them "tough shhit get off the game"

If we do this then there will be A LOT more lucky titles which IMO are supposed to be very hard to get bc of being able to get it ONLY on festivals(and 4-leaf clovers) and I worked really hard to get my Favored title(over 200k too).

yup

/sign btw

Lucky title points have always been scaled based on the game by anet. These would be either 0 or 1 points.

yea, hum i would like a title like PAC MAN MASTA lol, or a chess title whihc max is UBER NERDAGE lol

You don't diss chess like that. God will smite you. lol.
Nerdage.... you mean Coolage, or l33tness.

hey i play chess too and if you cant admit chess = nerd then please go see your psycoligst lol

Genius .

Well... the Junund Challenge is much like a PAcman...
Along with the Rollerbeetle races... the dragon arena

We all love those things, don't we?

i concur
