Guild war mechanics include.[1]
- A war declaration period.[1]
- Objective based components.[1]
- Victory and surrender conditions.[2]
- Guilds may war multiple guilds/alliances at a time.[2]
- Guild wars operate outside the PvP flagging system.[2]
- We're taking guild politics to a whole new direction in regards to playing those conflicts out.[3] – Steven Sharif
Guild war objectives
Guild war objectives spawn in the world based on the level of the guild war and the assets available to the guilds, whether it be a guild hall or guild fortress.[4] There will be default objectives and then there'll be objectives that relate to the activities that a Guild has participated in.[5]
- For example, if a guild has recently become owners of a guild hall on a freehold, objectives might be related to capturing a quest item in or around the guild hall that is only visible to the warring guild. Capturing this objective may require channeling time.[5]
- There might be objectives to steal one of the quest items that the guild may have received from completing a raid.[5]
- There may be bounty objectives to kill a particular guild member. The target may have increased damage mitigation and/or health against the warring guild and can call for help.[5]
- If you have a guild hall and a certain type of guild war is declared that is maybe a higher stakes kind of war, some of those objectives will be centralized either at your guild hall, at the opponent's guild hall; could be a progression step towards the guild hall. It might be a specific a period of time that accumulates into into a central battle at the guild hall for an objective.[4] – Steven Sharif
Death penalties do not apply to objective-based events (such as caravans, guild wars, and node sieges).[6]
Server prime-time
Objective-based PvP events such as node sieges, castle sieges, guild wars, and node wars will occur within a prime-time window somewhere between 3PM and 9PM server time. This is subject to testing.[7][8][9]
- Guild wars and node wars can be declared at any time, but the objectives will only spawn during the prime-time window.[10]
