I might or might not have posted this idea before, but if I did, it must have been several years ago.



As the title says it, I think PoE has come far enough that such a thing is possible now: Creating a Guild Hall where members can meet and invite other players to.



The area could be any of the indoor spaces from the story or maps and would be set by the guild leader/founder. Either the personal rooms of the guild members would be inside that hall, or there would be doors leading into the individual member's hideouts - it would depend on the feasibility of such an area, since guilds can have an infinite amount of members, as long as they buy more space from microtransactions.



Some points:



- The guild space can only be decorated by the leader and officers

- If the individual guild member rooms are in that space, each room can be claimed by a guild member, and only the can edit the decorations in that room

- Let people who have completed the game and reached the Epilogue start the game in the guild hall instead of in Oriath (though the same could be said about doing the same for people who have a hideout right now)

- A sufficiently large guild (above a set number of members) is accessible to the public as a kind of city hub, for them to visit





And then there is Guild PvP. I have to ideas, based on feasibility:



1. Create an area/arena, where guilds can duke it out against each other in parties, basically just like the PvP arenas. Beating members from a larger guild will garner the winning guild prestige points which they can exchange for guild decorations.



2. The more exciting one would allow guild invasions, in which one guild can invade another guild's space, where they have to defeat all players inside and then steal the banner. The guild whose banner was stolen will have that banner disappear from their display for 24 hours, while the guild that stole it will be able to display that banner in their guild hall for a week for all to see. This generates prestige points per day, with which they can buy guild decorations.



Some points:



- A guild above a certain number of members can set up a banner, which generates daily prestige points based on their number of members

- Having a banner automatically enters the guild into the invasion pool

- A smaller guild taking a larger guild's banner will generate increased prestige equivalent to the difference between their prestige generation and that of the losing guild's



A few things that might be difficult to implement but could be really fun:



- Let each member use items to create an NPC Exile and set their passive tree to up to level 75, which can protect the guild in their absence - or with them when they are online during an invasion

- Let a guild leader create an NPC Exile and set their passive tree to up to level 90, acting as the protector of the banner, and which has to be killed to steal the banner

- Let the guild populate their areas with mobs of up to level 70 like a mini-map for invaders to complete - these mobs would be any that can be found in the game



That last point opens up a possibility for another League (call it Guildpact or Guildwar).



I know this is a lot, but I hope GGG will see this and consider implementing some of this at least - especially about the guild hall thing. Last edited by Meakashi on Jul 24, 2018, 3:41:29 PM Last bumped on Jul 25, 2018, 3:24:10 AM
