    Welcome, members of Lincoln Force! With the big reveal of guild halls just behind us (that info here), it's time to start plotting our course from the Heart of Thorns release. That starts with selecting a hall! There are two options for us, but keep in mind we haven't seen all of either, and there will likely be some changes to what we have seen. If you want to have more information at your disposal before submitting your vote, feel free to hold off. We probably won't make a final tally until right around the launch of the expansion, and I'll be adding more media to this post as it becomes available.

    Let's start with the official trailer, which has some shots of either hall.

    Credit to ZAM and dulfy.net for much of the following.

    Gilded Hollow

    "A monolithic cavern beneath the jungle that connects to the Forgotten City." "Jungle themed, feels like a ruined outpost underneath the jungle. It sits on top of a giant aquifer." Inspired by Hang Son Doong.

    Owners of the Gilded Hollow can obtain Tenebrous-variant guild weapons, which are smoky and translucent.

    The Points of Interest guild hall stream, which was run in the Gilded Hollow (seen from 6:15 to 33:54):

    @jack_lafayette: Pretty happy you made this to be honest, because as guild leader I sure as hell was not going to do it. I voted LP because I live life on as many edges as I can (also I like the blue/grey/whatever weapons more).

    Ouch about that formatting. I just about worked out which screens are from which. I also voted LP because it gave me a GW1 vibe, and those weapons look sweet.

    @bollard: @shinboy630: Yeah, the Shimmering set looks pretty slick. Oddly enough, both sets do a decent job of evoking the Crystalline Sword from GW1 - translucency on one hand, texture sheen on the other.

    @zombiepie Hey, is there any means of jumping into the first post and cleaning it up? I understand the need to make polls unalterable, but that shouldn't happen with no "Full Edit" option, correct? Or is this a clusterfuck that only modly powers may align?

    I'm having a hard time differentiating the two, but I whichever one is more outside. The one with the waterfalls.

    Also kind of blown away that they're adding "Guild Halls" to a game called "Guild Wars" 3 years later.

    The guild hall should be in Purple Lotus Swamp.

    I've updated post #2 with a few screens from the new HoT website. There's now shots of the Gilded Hollow's quarry and teleporter, plus a wide shot of and the workshop from Lost Precipice.

    Launch is just over a day away, so we're wrapped! Lincoln Force will be acquiring the Lost Precipice hall after the expansion release.

    Unfortunately, I've been too busy to add further relevant trivia to this thread, but anyone still looking for exhaustive coverage of guild halls and new guild features should look here.

    Guess we ended up with Gilded Hollow, unless that's a temporary thing that's selected as default.
