New Forum looks waaaay better and I think formatting and search options are hugely improved! I miss tho badges and signatures which evaporated. @Fire Attunement.9835 Does 'default' reaction to post icons will be replaced? Current ones doesn't fit GW2 art style, so I've created quickly replacements here in topic below if it would be helpful ⤵️

Hello, Not sure if actual reaction icons after forum migrations are temporary, but I've created a whole bunch of icons anyway. Enjoy! 😀 Image .pngs here: https://imgur.com/a/aBFXh19 EDIT: Looks like image links cannot be displayed now (no idea why), so included Twitter post. Below is reddit topic link:

If boosters would happen, then they shouldn't be expensive to buy. And each card should have let's say the same drop ratio. About rarity. I would try to balance cards to have one activated effect (eventually, OR selection between two). There still would be counter cards for played action response. Also I think deck would be 60 cards with 3 copies max of card (until card would have a keyword Unique - 1 copy in deck).I think better way would be to 'mill' extra copies at Mystic Forge to craft new booster (for example mill 4 cards to receive 2 new random ones). So once supply on market evaporate, people can buy more boosters from vendor. You still would be able to 'bind' them to account. I do not like 'gold/ecto/card' gamble idea tho. :P

If boosters/decks would be in affordable prices - I am fine with it.

Also I was bored in Tabletop Simulator... oops.

Round is split to turns, so players play their moves alternately (depending who have more Noble Characters or... bought initiative with gold). On Round start you draw 4+ max 3 cards (if you used "Location" cards as hand expansion). Each Round new Event is revealed too (modifies gameplay, like you cannot do diplomacy this round or duel characters, or have to pay gold taxes :P ). Each Turn you can do one Action + as much as you want minor moves. Action is playing a Character from hand, Card play rule with Action icon, challenging a duel or doing diplomacy. Duel and Diplomacy gives you Victory Points - once you collect them all - you win. There are two fields: Battleground and Summit Field (. On Summit Field you can keep Locations and Characters (if they have keywords allowing them to stay there). You can do diplomacy here but cannot duel Characters (until you have "Hotspur" Character or Cards allowing you to do it). On Battlefield You can duel or do diplomacy. There are also attachable cards like Effects(or they can be instant), Belongings(Mounts, Weapons, Armors, Items, etc) and Attacks (They're played with back-up, so opponent don't know card rules, they are revealed during duel if played, or during diplomacy for extra Victory Point). There are also 3 other cards which are 'permanent' on table: Strategy, Battle and Diplomatic Influences. They modify your playstyle generally. To fasten game, each Round, there are 2 Victory Points discarded from game from shared pool (if shared pool is empty - each player discards 1). :) So that's the quick preview of rules. :P

About gameplay - yep, you can find physical card game mockup in link above. It's based on dead polish TCG game (since 6 years), but I reworked and changed like 50% of mechanics, so I'd say it's different game now. So far it should be playable on table. As digital game? Well, probably too! Since I managed to create scenes. :D

Hello! I am a lucky tester of incoming GuildWars2: The Card Game! Currently it's in Closed Alpha, but it's so fun and promising project! I was allowed to post some screenshots from game. If you have questions - feel free to ask! I will try to answer them all as long as NDA is allowing me to answer them! Build: CA_2021_04_01_631 .I am giving away 5 codes for my followers on Twitter to Closed Alpha of Guild Wars 2: The Card Game, GOOD LUCK!

Hiring offers welcome via PM! ; )

I would bind them to Achievements - since they would be flexible for requirements creations. It may be like Steel's Warband steps, when you were unlocking Legion weapons. Or achievement can be a mini stories chain quest, require some map explorations - so many possibilities. Once you finish Achievement, it appears available in Merchant's inventory.

Hi @"hugo.4705", I bet you remember my mega Guild & Guild Hall improvements topic, since you commented there - I've covered most of your ideas there in my topic, except:5 - that would be kinda cool to have 'guild collection (achievements?)' to unlock some stuff for Scribing. NPCs as 'decoration' could be nice to have as well.6 - Making 'rewards' for JP be tricky part and probably would be 'abused' (like instant gather at starting WP). And about other points:1 - I agree with removing long-chain-decoration crafting. My idea was to at least disable Assembly Queue waiting time (Decoration crafting should be auto and instant).2 - Asura Gate is not needed - we have Guild Portal, which would work perfectly for it (and possibly could be 'upgraded' to better version to have more destination options by this).3 - Crafting Stations could be holograms like in EotN @ Workshop near Assembly Device.4 - Deco limit raise up - yes. Rotation and scaling could be doable, but requires fiddle with legacy code in hard level. I also would add UI option for players, to set level of details for displayed decorations if ANet want avoid framedrops with decorations overload (for example very low - display 500 nearest decos, low - 1000, medium 1500, high 2000, ultra - no limit).7 - Examples you saw in my topic (also moved them to separate trello board too, except 'cultural' packs as upgrade in GH) :)8 - In my topic I shown some examples for Gliding and Mounts PvE missions, so you can check them. Recently also added ideas for Racetracks for Gliding and Mounts (so you can check my mockups for UIs). Designed idea for "Battleground Mode" (GvG) too (mockups also has been made :P ). P.S.I hope you don't mind if I add and expand idea of NPCs as decorations in my topic? (I'll credit you on my trello boards! :) )

And here I bring new UI mockups and description of feature: Guild Hall Battleground Mode (Guild & Guild Changes trello board -> War Room column)Example view from player's side:Conquest Mode Settings:Team Deathmatch Mode Settings:Monetized it with additional slots for 'Mode Templates' - so you can quickly prepare specific game mode settings ready with 2 clicks once template is created.Link to Trello board with Guild & Guild Hall changes/reworks/features™:https://trello.com/b/PUKUbeIY/guild-hall-further-upgrades-guild-updates Link to Trello board with ideas for Guild Achievements:https://trello.com/b/47fFm1do/guild-achievements-work-in-progress Link to Trello board with ideas for Decorations:https://trello.com/b/LLXfaWsp/guild-decorations-suggestions

I have slightly other idea approach for it (This link, then scroll down column to "Guild Hall Open Battleground") - to make possible "enable WvW mode" in Guild Halls. You could decorate GH with few "Fortresses/Bastions" etc. (tho probably still using normal decorations, which would be indestructible). Guild Hall should have enough space for 15v15v15 fights (or maybe even zerg fights? I am not sure about player's limit on GH maps). Reason is, it would be way simplier to implement such feature. Your idea actually would require way more coding and testing stuff. I mean, "wvw" obstacles or defense structures like walls etc. would be cool, but it could lead to spaghetti development and probably issues for QA testing feature. About leaderboards/ranking system, I think it would be also a weird code to handle. I think better solution would be to have just 'internal' GH counters on UI like: Current team (Red/Green/Blue) scoreKilled playersPoints controlled by teamsTimer (so you can set "X" minutes skirmish - for example 15 minutes, then all counters are stop after this time)So people would be able to self-set rules (for example, captured point gives you +1 score each second or something, two captured +2, killed player gives +3 points, finished +5 etc.). Of course there would be an also NPC or UI option to reset them. About rewards, like above, it would be hard to develop I think. Possible gamemodes for it (Red vs Blue (+ vs Green, optionally) 15/10/5 players per team): Conquest (capture points / kill players, team who scores 1000/1500/2000 points first wins, or timer terminates the game, players can spawn on set spawnpoints over map). Team Deathmatch (kill enemy players, if you die you need to wait to end of skirmish, last remaining team wins, or timer terminates the game)About tower defense mode / upgradeable NPCs mercenaries: again, issues with coding. It would actually require navigation mesh for units, and ensure there would be at least one path which is accessible for them to reach destination (remember decorations can be obstacles too!). Tl;dr, it would be -pain- to redraw and calculate navigation mesh each time you update decorations in Guild Hall. Thanks for feedback, I will try invent something with it and I'll credit you on trello board for suggestion with capture mode. :)

I like these designs, would be nice to see them implemented in game. Well done! :)

Bump, replaced old file and uploaded the one with new designs. ;)

Thank you! :) I will probably work more on this project in December.

Hello! I've just ended my Charity Art Stream 3x 4 hours marathon, so here is final result of 12h work. (+ bonus propaganda poster) :D

Hello! I was working on prototype of Card Game in Guild Wars 2 universe for few years. Here is latest iteration of this idea. :)Enjoy! ( Icons, Logotypes and Images are ArenaNet property and artists artworks - used them for better visual presentation. I've just created Card Layouts and Game Tokens and texts. )

Reworked previews in Gallery, now should be more compact. :)

Not sure I would agree here, could see it as a way for players to show off they had been somewhere special or out of reach. It could also be a way to tease about easter eggs. Image you can't send this post card unless you had been to this out of the way hidden alcove that had a shrine to an unknown spirit. Could be a way to expand exploration. Again, looking at it that I would prefer more Legendary journeys to fill this niche, but can see the potential in the concept. It have some easter egg potential. For example, you can make mini story and it can be part of it, for example obtainable item on completion / during progress (as collectible which can be reused in mailing system, equivalent of this mini tiger spirit during doing tiger's dens). Same with exploration potential. Postcards and Stamps can be hidden in JP chests, mini dungeons, hidden places. They can be also parts of legendary journeys. For example yours mentioned "unknown spirit" once encountered, says he had a letter to someone he loved but his sudden death prevented it. So we can be a messenger and as 'thank you' for doing it we can obtain unique postcard artwork to use. Possibilites how to use them and implement in game are many.

Exactly - people pay for 'idle' Chairs. Why not for 'cosmetics' mail system?It would have similar purpose like Chair Novelties. Cosmetics which would add some fun factor (for specific targeted groups). I am working on GW2 Card Game, but printable one. ;) I agree mail system is too 'agressively' adjusted. But implementation should be 70-80% UI scripting, rest would be for NPC inventory/drop items, achievement tracking etc.So it shouldn't be that much human resource consuming. Plus, it would be extension to actually implemented mail carriers. People like collectibles (and chairs) - so idea was to give them more 'time fillers' (except part of gemstore stuff - this part would be just to monetize part of this cosmetics).It could add some small ideas to implement with future episodes (or retroactive update older ones). For example minis - they have any purpose? Except that they just hang around your character? No, but many people like collect them or even spend dollars on. Money spent on stamps/postcards could fuel more expensive to develop content. Once implemented, it have really low factor in maintenance new supply of items - artworks are 2D. Ofcourse, some coding would happen for these where you can find in open world or at vendors, but it also would be reused from template. Like I wrote in reply to @Trise.2865, I'd see it more like money generator for other more costly development projects (for example my idea with Guild and Guild Hall Upgrades and reworks, since they have some crucial things to fix before Alliances will be launched). It indeed would be a gold sink in game(depending how ANet would decide to make them expensive). I am already working on rework of Postcard and Stamp UI select previews, so I should update it on days. :)
