Thanks! I think they (possibly) would be introduced in the new Living World Season. Soo-Wonoodles merchant could sell new flavor on each new map. Plushies could be monetized (dyeable 4 channels) and probably 2 standard variants buyable somewhere in incoming LWS. I keep my ideas on twitter and google drive portfolio (link is there too). I think ANet sees them, I am followed by few employees. 🙂 Sent CV too under General Applications, but so far no reply... 🙃

New refreshed racetrack tiles and checkpoints are cool (Though, they can be slightly updated with this idea i think? Racing Guilds would be in the heaven... 🙂 ), but I have slightly offtopic question:

Four weeks later, still only 2 new decorations... 😕

I've updated my Guild Hall topic with EoD stuff, including decorations ideas: Direct link to Trello Board with decoration suggestions here: https://trello.com/b/LLXfaWsp/guild-decorations-suggestions

Hello, I am back with another update of ideas! This time mostly End of Dragons stuff. 🙂 GUILD HALL UPGRADES: MARKET: Bosses Contract: End of Dragons Strike Missions Bosses Contract: End of Dragons Meta Bosses Fishing Supply Vendor Fishmonger Merchant NOTARY: Advanced Guild Portal: Cantha PvE Missions (Skiffs) PvE Skiff Mission 1 PvE Skiff Mission 2 WORKSHOP: Local Weather Controlling Device NEW GUILD HALL: Charr Guild Hall NEW GUILD DECORATIONS: (Since we're lack of them in EoD :c ) Trees: Blossoming Cherry Tree, Bonsai Tree, Large Bamboo Cluster Canthan: Arch, Bed, Bedside Cabinet, Streetfood Stand, Street Lamp Club Sofa and Table Paintings: Empress Portrait, Seitung Province Historic Plaque Jade: Battery, Battery Station, Bell, Bench, Charging Station, Container, Sled Potted Bonsai Reactor Console Stone: Lantern, Merlion Statue, Kirin Statue Tengu Totem Jade Statue: Kappa, Kirin, Merlion, Phoenix, Wallow LINKS TO TRELLO BOARDS WITH ALL IDEAS: Guild and Guild Hall Upgrades Guild Achievements Guild Decorations

I hope they just forgot to add them. If not... well, this is a huge disappointment.

Oh, that's interesting idea. I see a lot of potential for Roleplayers in it and people who want to do perfect screenshots. If you don't mind, I'll add it to Trello board and credit you for suggestion. 🙂 Assembly queue is nightmare sometimes. To Craft Golden King Toad deco from SAB you need to spend... 1,5h. They definitely should rework it or just remove queue for decorations. Already suggested it on Trello boards. Also allowing to upgrade lesser banners to Guild Heroes Banner would be cool. Technically it could be possible to make, but as you mentioned extra programming. And since "Activities" mini-games doesn't provide much rewards, they probably would be cannibalized by this. Here would be issue with "premade" asset of Guild Hall objects, making them separate objects and modifable would probably affect game performance. Would be nice but I doubt they will add it, since we have SAB decorations. Instead, would be nice if you'd have access to unlock with upgrades "SAB" machine replica - where you could build on separate map stylized like SAB own levels from SAB decorations only (which are still unlocked in Decorations deposit). It's also suggested on Trello boards here. 🙂

Hello, Decided to share two fanmade encounters I've designed (more below twitter post): Fractal: Unstable Rift We find Auris Weirdbringer having some trouble with mysterious Mist Strangers. Instanced Event: Rift Anomaly Follow up of Unstable Rift Fractal events. We find "someone" who is probably causing Unstable Rifts scattered around Tyria. If you want to dive into story or mechanics, feel free to check my google drive link here. :)

I don't get it why they removed image linking (and more advanced features which were useful like text coloring, more formatting options...). I always wanted to ilustrate stuff for ideas/concepts, but making twitter post for it is... missing a point if I need to create 8 or even more images with schematics of UI etc. Also they should replace current emojis, to more fitting GW2 theme:

Of course, I don't expect my ideas to be done in single release. Small chunks released over time would be perfectly fine. I think they realized it with latest Champions updates, but not sure how it would affect future releases. We all know devs were moved from IBS to End of Dragons, so surely it affected quality of content. If it would affect future releases too, I prefer to wait 3-4 months for more bundled content with quality. Like above, tho SAB could be easily sliced to zone production since World 2 ones are loosely connected. But hey, it's guild topic.😉 Well, Alliances will be big thingy for WvW and Guilds (since it will be linked via Guilds). Guilds in current state doesn't seems fully prepared for it (until ANet is going to surprise us with unannounced content for them, but I doubt). I already gave some examples for new PvE Missions, you can find them on trello boards. 🙂 The biggest issue I see is you either get random missions from all categories or specialized ones. This should be gone long time ago. Just limit people with let's say max 15 commendations per week and allow them to do which missions they want to. We already have Favor cap, so it's fine. Biggest issue is to connect code of feature with existing code in game. I tried where it was possibly, to use "old ideas" again, so new content shouldn't require much working around with code - it should be somewhere implemented in game already so at best it would require just slight tweakings. Remember ANet have reduced staff and full working on expansion right now. So human resources are limited, but I still believe Guild upgrade with new content and right monetized would fund new projects and keep playerbase busy between releases of expansions and living world episodes. I get it. Well, each player can find their own niche, at least for a while. Or they used it to test playerbase on production, what is played or not. Surely original creators had vision for them, but either it not worked or had funding cuts, I assume. And I agree, specialized teams are way better, but with mentioned reduced human resources in company it's hard to assign people to specialized teams.

Still trying to show to devs, Guilds actually could profit game experience better: Players can make custom fanmade stuff in Guild Hall - endless replayability which can keep them occupied between Season Episodes / Expansions: Racing Tracks - for gliders or mounts - Rental NPCs can show free account players how cool they are fully upgraded, so they may consider buying expansions to have access to them everywhere. Custom WvW-like mode so WvW maps would be more used for their original purpose (dueling pits on map still could be accessible and playable! it would just give players opportunity to make custom rules in Guild Hall with no progression in WvW ranks etc. for fun, so it wouldn't kill WvW). More customization to Guild Arena (new turrets, boon spawners, enabling SPvP mode for gear etc.) It could help the game economy: Non-invasive optional monetization - additional Guild Slots, additional Guild Bank Tabs, Guild Name Change Contract and more. Upgrades could sink some materials from market and mill unused crap items with no value (Skritt Trader for example). Since some people convert gems to gold, it would also profit company income to fund other projects. Guild Achievements would bring players back to replay old content (like we currently replay living world) - again it would keep them busy with content and they could get some materials by doing activities to either spend them on guild upgrades or to craft more items for themselves (again, gold and currency sink). I still hope we gonna get huge racial decorations update... ANet, Ash Legion Tents and Olmakhan Huts, when?! 😛 I mean, with Alliances, Guilds DEFINITELY need some changes. For sure, member permissions management and guild log needs to be improved. Seeing detailed descriptions on stored ascended feasts would be cool too, not gonna lie.

Hello, I am working on encounter idea, so decided to share small map teaser: What I can spoiler more about it: - It would include specific time travelling Charr and Mist Strangers - There would be other map (Fractal) which explains events happening on posted map encounter. Also completion of mentioned fractal(on any scale) would be necessary requirement to unlock this one. - This encounter would have 2 versions: 1) Strike Mission for 10 players (private) 2) Instance for 50-80 players (public) which would open entry rift for... every 97 minutes. Window to enter it would be exactly 582 seconds (totally not another easter egg here). I have prepared mechanics and dialogues too, but for now only for the devs - if they'd be interested to get more details. Let's keep some mysteries unsolved for public eyes now... 👀

Probably not going to happen, because I already created 2 versions of card game mockups: traditional and digital game and didn't had reply from developers. 🙂 Also you can find topics in Community Creations sub-forum. (Just to mention, it was an APRIL FOOLS JOKE for 2021, so ignore text of tweets, they been obsolete since 2nd April... 😉) And here is "Traditional" card game concept:

Added color variations for Trophy Emoji (Bronze/Silver/Gold): https://imgur.com/a/AAObJwc

New artwork!

Uhhh seems like image URL links feature got broken yesterday. Tried to update my image list in Community Creations topic, but after saving changes Imgur images turned just to URLs. Tried to workaround it and noticed: - Imgur, DeviantArt image links do not work anymore (probably tumblr too, but didn't checked) - Reddit post link block semi works (title is visible, but image preview is broken) - Twitter post link with image works correctly

Hello, Some artworks and concept arts I was working on recently. 🙂 Enjoy! EDIT: Looks like image links are still broken, so posting Twitter links:

Glad you like them, Thanks! 🙂 Thanks! Removed thumbs down since it was complained a lot by people. --- Somehow imgur links stopped working, so i pinned down reddit topic for previews.
