Small things make the game better

ive heard from many people, that they wish a new guildmenu..
maybe like in world of warcraft

im in a big guild, with around 40-50 members.
its hard for us to get an overview of people who play pve oder pvp only..

there r just a few points which would make it all better..

-> Guild-leader or officer can create groups:

For example:

Group1: "GVG TEAM"
Group2: "HA TEAM rank0-3"
Group3: "HA TEAM rank3-6"
Group4:" PVE ONLY"

in this groups u can add a groupleader with specials rights etc, and u also can swap all people around

also it would be gr8 to set notices at players.. like: "he was 2days offline without telling a officer" or .. "rank2 but hes good as a rank3"

it would be so great.. and easy for big guild to organize thereselves

some examples from wow, which i found
(y dont u just copy them ^^.. guys this is not too hard to solve, and it would be gr8

)

Code:

Guild Ranks
Initiate, Member, Veteran, Officer, Leader

Guild leaders can also rename the existing ranks and create their own ranks, up to 10.

notices also would be great in friendslist
u can set like in icq/msn a notice.. like:

"Im looking for group"
"i need 2 ppl to help me with a mission xx"

(...)

another point is, that u can see in the guildmenu the Character+Level and the current position!

sorry for my english, but i hope iLL get an positiv answer

thx for reading it

I'm in Xen of Onslaught, which means we have a couple hundered members.

Use Teamspeak/Vent, it works wonders.

That has very little to do with the OP suggestion.

More options are always better.

Let's see if I got this right. You want to be able to somehow divide a guild up by what individual members want to do?

Just asking

Sounds great.

Maybe another tab with those categories and what players prefer them.

Sounds like you want exactly like what's in WoW(right down to the 5 default ranks...). Maybe add in mounts too?

This is what fourms/a website/voice chat are for. Really not hard to get any of those, and they won't cost you a thing.

yes i know that..
but wow makes it great

its nicer to have the options ingame.. ur are more flexible.
its not to hrad to create the points i mentioned..

i just want to add the option to create own groups to get an far more better overview of the guild.. it would be easier to organize it all

I like the idea of being able to leave "notes" and comments within the guild. Like I could log in and put up a note that I would like to do the Titans Quests. As other log in they can see that I want to do the quests and then talk about how to go about doing it. Or I could put up a note saying I have found certain items and they are up for give away, instead of saying it each time someone new logs in.

I've always thought it would also make sense that your alliances could be in drop down menus. So that you could see how many members were active / online, and who was online.

I too would like to see a better way to sort members. Divisions would be awesome, with 2 division leaders, etc.

I agree with the comments, aswell as I think we should get that on the friend list and ignore list aswell, but the group part I think is too much.

Just because WoW has some good features, doesn't mean Guild Wars is barred from implementing them.

maybe u dont the the problem...

im in a big guild, we have around 85 members.. PVE and PVP/GVG ..

we are right now reorganizing, and it just woulb be great, if we can sort or add notices , like " he is rank 3" "he is rank 6" "GVG-team" (...)

of course, notices just can be read by officers, or the leader hast o grant others members to read certain notices

or just add new ranks like:

Code:

Leader: xxxxx               (NOTice: our fellow leader)
Officers: yyyyy             ( NOTice:Leader of gvg-team)
             zzzzz              (NOTice:leader of tombs)
             2234              (NOTice:pve-organizer)
            nionwe 
GVG Team 1 : Playerxcx    (notice: squad leader)
                342jjok2j4
                wenfwoefn
                wjebnfowenf
                iwenfowenf
                wefnweopfn
                iowenfoiewnf
(...)
Gvg team 2 
(...)

/signed, Guild Menus are far too inflexable, and doing things through forums/vent/whatever is too much effort for some members.

I definately don't wanna see this game turn into WoW, being a former WoW player, but more options never hurt.

He was agreeing with you, actually. He was saying that if WoW has some good concepts, there is no reason GW can't implement the same kinds of concepts here.

^^ From now on the word "barred" shall not be allowed on the forums... *snicker*

Anyways...

I use my guild forum to organize, but in game recognition that you are the "pvp leader" or "second in command" etc would rock.

I am in a guild with numbers swinging between 80-100. We have a forum rank system, with different types of officers. One of these, for example, doesn't have moderator access. And since we have a list that sometimes needs editing when inviting members, it wouldn't make sense to have this officer able to invite.
So ranks with custom names+priviledge settings=Yes sir!

Anyways, I totally agree. It shouldn't be exactly like what you said bu we definatly need more stuff in it.

I'd like longer anouncements. I'm so annoyed that we're limited to such a short length.

do we rly need more ppl spamming in the guild chat "I WANT TO BE IN THIS GROUP" "CAN I BE IN THIS GRP" "HOW DO I GET INTO THIS GRP" arn't there already enough who do this becuz they want to be an officer or another way of promoting rank withing the guild by adding "HA rank 6-10" or notes beside players that this guy is rank x "OMGZ IM THE ONLY RANK 10 IN THIS GUILD NEWB GUILD".

Just becuz WoW has this feature doesn't mean GW has to have it otherwise what is the point in these companys making different games y not just have every gaming company merge together to make one game for the entire world that way ppl can't whine that this game has this and this one doesn't. I know ill get flamed for this by somone but it just my opion as it stand now the everyone under members r treated as equals instead of spliting them all up into special catagorys.

The Rank notices, should only be for officers and the leader, so that they know whos who..

"i want to be in this group" (...) -> this increases the motivation of players, or if some ppl spam this around, you can just kick them, because no guild wants to have spammers and little children

the argument with wow has nothing to do with the idea, it was just an example

But u r still saying Game A has this feature y can't Game B just copycat Game A and put all these Koo| features into there game in which case y even have a Game A and Game B other then different graphics. Doesn't necessary have to fall into a wow argument just that is the example u had givien in your first post of WoW has this y can't guild war copy them.

Just because one game does one thing doesn't mean another game can't do something similar.
