“Done. Scrap item for silvers -> Buy crafting resources”

“Nobody has ever complained that they don't have ascension, guild, relic, and win streak bonuses! They don't pick the optimal gear and just wear whatever random crap which gets assigned. They also behave in a predictable way that lets you game them. All of that aside... Almost every game in history has enemies with different skills and abilities than the player. I'm not exactly blazing a new trail here. This is like being upset because Super Mario's Bowser could throw fireballs, jump twice as high, and didn't have to eat mushrooms too. It's supposed to be a puzzle. The challenge is greater because it has different rules from standard gameplay.”

“NPC damage was reduced again, and durability loss was cut by half. I don't really understand what drives people to want to play an easy game and not be challenged. There's already Farmville and Fruit Ninja for that experience, but I guess we can go that direction too. Seems boring and pointless, in my opinion.”

“AI guilds will start raiding your territory soon with powerful squads that drop double loot rewards.”

“This is now live. Buttons and popups are buggy and incorrect until the next client patch on Wednesday.”

“The old guild territory system sucks. Here's the new one: - Capturing tiles is free. Any guild member can do it. - Capturing a tile awards a crafting resource based on the tile type. Mountain = Metal, Forest = Wood, etc. - Tiles are captured for 20 hours - Guilds continue to get Guild Silver prizes for % victory, only it doesn't cost members anything to participate. - Requires Skull Worthy squad to capture - No limit on how many tiles someone can capture per day, other than how many open tiles exist. - Cannot capture tiles with enemies in them”

“Like what though? Bonuses for being small that disappear when you get large? Isn't that punishing guilds for growing? I understand what you guys are getting at but the devil is in the details. Any mechanical advantage you give is going to be taken advantage of . So what are some ideas which help small guilds, won't punish large guilds, and can't be used abusively by some guy making a single member alt guild?”

“Please do not derail my threads. It isn't helpful. Now that you guys have had some experience with the new rules, what do you feel could be better? I really hate the long, snaking single-path guild halls... I'm not convinced we want Vaults and Relic rooms to block movement once guards engaged. (Guild Hall Entrance should always block movement, however)”

“All of the 3 large guilds contain a not-insignificant number of alts. Guilds might prioritize "real" players over alts if we reduce the cap. A cap of 50 to 60 seems reasonable enough. My only fear is that new players won't get into any guild, which makes them less likely to stick around. The "community guild" concept isn't bad but it would be a lot of work to implement properly.”

“I plan to reduce the maximum number of guild members, and also the cost of creating new guilds. For the game to be healthy there should be more active competing guilds instead of 2 or 3 large ones. What do players feel is a reasonable member cap that would still give new players a chance to get involved with a good guild?”
