No Guild Halls / Social tools being worked on?
Quote
What are the plans for expanding guild features? Guild Halls, calendars and things like that.
- Someday there will be Guild Halls but it's not something that is actively being worked on
- Will expand on guild features down the road as well
Does anyone else think that there crazy for not working on guild halls, guild functions, social tools and anything around that area all this time?
I mean currently guilds only have a glorified menu screen to work with and you can only talk to players in your guild if you hit represent for that guild, otherwise guild chat doesn't work. The upgrades are poorly structured and take too long to build and do not last long enough for the amount of time it takes to build them.
No other social tools are really in the game unless you count party but tbh it is so basic and sometimes buggy it barely has any use.
Then you have no dungeon group finding tools so maps with dungeons and towns have turned into spamadan ( see kamadan in GW1 ) LFG LFG LFG....every 5 minutes.
From what I can see it is slowing growth of the game, the community and guilds in the game without more guild tools, functions and social tools. After all this is suppose to be a social community driven game right?
I was amazed when Colin said in the interview there not currently working on or even have a team assigned to this sort of thing. I was cool waiting for it because we figured they were working on guilds, guild halls and social tools but apparently there not even currently working on it... So from that were guessing what 3-6 months atleast before we see anything?
Anyone surprised by this? Considering they pushed the social aspect and new social technology so hard during the beta's and devolepment of the game?
