Simple requests to Devs about Guild System, and some good words

[Sarr]

Wow, nice to see you want those changes too!
Now if only some Dev came here to say a few words, that he read it or even something more... would be great.

Good post, and my thoughts.

1) said person should state that it's a reroll, or whatever. If they're dropping guild well ....

2) There should be a "Group Alts" Tab in the gulid panel. Out side the guild not knowing who is who is one thing. But in the guild you should be able to see them clumped together.

3) I think they started it with customizable Guild Tags. There are 10 different ranks I believe (could be wrong, never spent much time looking at it) They just need to finish the process.

I think the guild interface would need to be pretty much scrapped and redesigned from scratch, from release it has always looked like something that was chucked in at the last minute which has always struck me as odd considering D&D has a pretty rich history for the concept of Guilds and the like (from your standard Thieves guild etc, to the various Houses in Ebberon, to other factions that have existed over the various D&D universes)

Custom Ranks are great if they worked(do they? are they fixed?)

Custom notes by officers would be great. Make them officer read only or certain ranks can read it.

Being able to clump toons would be good as well "Main" and all his/her alts

EQ2 has a decent guild system as well.

Guild bank also please? People can donate favor to expand it? Or as people gain favor it goes to a "guild" favor list to get things like guild bank slots.

Prays that the upcoming changes in Update 4 to the guild system reflect those in this thread...

I want a /tell button on my guild tab, personally.

Oh hell yes please.

/signed for OP

but

In accordance with my signature......instead of alts showing up on a guild....(keeping in mind I do know about recruiting sigils)...surely with regards to a guild we could have the list display the person's name with a section of alt currently on?

Honestly I am so over staring at a massive guild list and not knowing who is who. I understand point #2 but I would much prefer that the guild list showed either a my.ddo/forum name or a name chosen by the player. The guild list then shows only player names and if they are online, which alt they are on at that time. A simple right-click on the players name would show a list of that specific player's alts currently in the guild.

I find it highly pointless to list every character in the guild, a player list instead with the player's recent activity, i.e instead of say logged in 5mins ago, online, 1 week for each individual alt.....just give the most recent activity. So player logged in 5mins ago, not alt.

(This is only in guild lists though. Everything else would only display the alt name still, who's on list, LFM panel. Friends list could also work with this, instead of adding each alt...add the player BUT give the player the option to ignore a friend request like in my.ddo. Strange people sending tells because they ran with me 2 months ago and added me to their list is annoying. In the same vein set an anonymous check box for your friends list so you can be anonymous to the populace but not your approved friends)


In that regard if I delete an alt or roll a new one, part of the process is automatic aceptance into a guild you currently are part of. If you have more than 1 then a choice. Either automatic delivery of a recruiting sigil /s to your mailbox or a guild master you can talk to that allows you to choose the guild you want the alt in. It's annoying when you have to re-roll an alt, TR them, creating a new one etc and have to bug officers to get an invite.

It can be a feature added into the new guild housing idea. Another idea for this would be similar to chain quest ideas. If your guild has housing, give a guild master upgrade which allows members to join by themself without bugging officers. If you have a character in the guild you get recognised and allowed entrance, if you don't, you get the option to leave a request with him to join the guild which the leader can peruse through and say yes or no. The leader can then have an option to ignore all requests so he doesn't have millions of applications if the guild isn't recruiting at that time.

Ok I'm done...for now....
