Guild Event ideas

[Bigpapasmurf.5623]

Hello all,

I am looking for ideas for things to do as a guild (fun things...bonus points if it can be done naked as.....reasons)

So The events we have thus far are:

Asura BallDeath MazeScavenger huntHide and seekNaked racesNaked jumping puzzle

Anyone have anything else I could add? Im aware guild PvP is something however not many of them PvP.

TIA

Darts was a game we used to play. One person jumps from somewhere high up like the bridge by the Priory in Lonar's Pass. They go splat in the most interesting position they can get too. Then they become the bullseye that everyone else tries to hit. This can be done naked to meet your bonus and probably should be to preserver your armor. Lots of fun place now with mesmers and mounts.

Another is guess the location. You have everyone find a unique or hard to guess location, turn off there UI and take a screen shot. Then everyone else guesses where it is. You might want to set rules like no looking directly at the ground, or zoomed up into the sky, not that it stopped us from always guessing. A moderator was always used to allow or deny the screen shot.

Darts was one I forgot to mention. I play it in Rata Sum in the instance up above and jump out. Can usually nail 2ish mil damage and due to the random broken environment near the bottom it can make for some interesting positions.

Provided you don't think your guildies would find it too morbid, naked Death Diving. My guild used to do them several times a year. Find a really high spot, have folks jump to their deaths with no armor on. Not quite like Darts in that the goal is to get the highest possible number when you hit the ground. Highest numbers win. We regularly had people getting double-digit millions in fall damage. Spots we've used: center area of Rata Sum, diving goggles in Silverwastes, top of the volcano in Mt. Maelstrom, top area of the Gilded Hollow guild hall, top of the scaffolding on the old Zephyrite ship from the first year or two of the Labrythine Cliffs. We also had special categories for jumping while in tonic form and costumes -- one guildie managed a screenshot of her character in an outfit that made her look like Mary Poppins in silhouette.

Random trivia night

You could also try naked scavenger hunts. If you have some items in higher level maps, running to get them with no armor / weapons might be interesting. Or try a variation where folks can only bring low level characters. Caveat would be it would have to be maps they can get to easily, like from racial cities or lowbie maps.

If your guild has a Discord or social media like Facebook, you can try a "Where's Waldo" game. i.e. take screenshots of various spots in-game, post them to Discord, FB or whatever and let folks find those spots. My co-leader and I find this especially popular as our guildies get busier in Real Life and don't always have time for scheduled static events.

Set up an informal mount racecourse in an open world map, using assorted novelties or squad markers to outline the course. Can also be done naked if you want, I guess.

I know you mentioned not all your guildies PvP, but if you don't mind the expense a custom sPvP arena is an option. You can set it to private so only guild can enter and keep out unwelcome randoms. No one will get PvP points or progress, but if the intent is some in-guild shenanigans, it won't matter. And if you have a sufficiently upgraded guild hall, the guild arena works in a pinch too.

Death Diving is one I brought to them (was wehy I mentioned Rata Sum for big damage) THATS what I called darts xDTrivia night would be interestingScavenger hunts (nakid) is on my radarWheres Waldo is like a scavenger hunt meets hide and seek...I like it (can be something done throughout a week)Race course we have done nakid (def not off the t able for future ones tho)WE have a custom PvP arena, however its severely underused so that may be something to do

Thanks for the ideas so far folks, keep em coming :)

Since your guild seems to be on a "do things in your skivvies" theme, maybe naked PvP arena skirmishes? I believe the guild PvP arena uses your PvE gear and builds, so there's some possibilities there. Like...participants can only use white or blue weapons -- no ascended, Legendary or even exotic-level weapons. Or they can only use bundle weapons: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Purchasable_bundles. Throw in some arena obstacles and go (naked) ham.

Also a random thought on a hybrid race idea: Team Survival Escort Race.

Put together a party with ONE very low level character. The max level teammates have to escort the lowbie to a specific (much higher level) map. The low level character becomes an aggro magnet, so the rest of the group will need to fend off foes and keep the lowbie alive to reach the end. The goal can be something like having the least number of deaths or accrue enough deaths to completely break all the low level character's armor (ie., reach the end naked)

I once asked a couple friends to escort a level 25 character I had just created through several maps to reach one of the JPs in Orr (this was years before things like Teleport to Friend stones). That low level character was drawing in foes from triple the usual aggro radius the entire way. It was a blast. There was alot of yelling and screaming, lol.

now THAT sounds like something I can enjoy

Don't forget to make the low level person use a tonic so they have no skills.
