Obtained Guild Hall, want to learn about matches - Guild Wars Forums

Immortal Flame · Jul 10, 2005, 11:59 PM // 23:59

Ok well my guild just bought our Warriors Isle guild hall, but I'm not exactly sure how the GvG system works. I'd appreciate if people could enlighten me on the following subjects:

1. It seems there are 3 types of matches; automatic, unranked challenge, and ranked challenge. Is automatic always ranked? And do both guild issue at same time to each other?

2. Do GvG battles must be 8v8? If not, and we enter an automatic match with less than 8, will we get set up against an 8 man team? And can we agree to say, a 3v3 against another guild who will also put in 3 players and issue a challenge against each other?

3. Are there different scenarios like the Arenas and Tombs or is it just an invasion type of game?

Thanks for any help.

Its 8 vs 8
Ranked = Gives u Rank In Guild Ladder
Unraked = Doesnt Do Anything Just Basically Practice
Automatic = U Face Random Guilds
And It Is Diffrent From HoH Cause Its Kill The Guild Lord Kind Of Thing
To Get A Good Rank OffCourse Get Ranked Players...
So Those Wer Basically What You Wer Asking?

EX :
You Sent sB A Guild Match Invite
sB people need to be in their hall with a party after that if they accept u engage in battle
whoever issued the challenge
the issuer guy uses their hall will be used
automatic basically :P auto
but thats how u do it basically

the unranked system is a little tricky. but it can be done. Our gaming clan. HazTeam has 3 guilds. and we play each other in unranked mode every once in a while. you can have as few as a 4v4 match if you set it up that way. but it takes trust that you will not get overwhelmed with 8v4 or something. heck sometimes we just play with henchies in unranked GvG... The trick is getting everyone communicating to coordinate them. that's the hardest part for arranged practice matches. We use our gaming clans Teamspeak server to get everyone setup, THEN issue the unrated challenge by the guild name. The accept it from their match list and practice away...

Faction Points however are only accumulated with Automatic Guild Matches. so Faction farming is NOT possible using the ranked challenge system. However ladder manipulation seems to be... that will prob be addressed eventually...

Hey, at least you didn't learn the hard way. We learned the Guild Hall system by practicing an auto battle. Hey, guess who we had on our team...Alesia, Stephan, a lv 14, and a lv 16...not goiing to do ranked until we're ready again...

Ooo...now our guild rank is 5000+. Gotta get that ranking back up, because everyone becomes uninterested when we reveal our rank is 5k...
