Creating & Renaming Ranks Not Working?

[Yiren]

Very quick question.

When you type "/guild", you see a bunch of commands. Does the Creating or Renaming of Ranks actually function? Is it supported or just a placeholder for a future feature? I tried them, but nothing happens, so a bit confused...

Any help from experienced guild leaders is appreciated.


Yiren.

These haven't worked for some time now. I'm hoping they do something with them soon, since they are in the commands anyhow.

There was an amusing bug when these features were first added. When a guild changed the title of leaders, officers, etc., it applied the change to every guild on the server.

For a while, all guild leaders on one of the servers were SUPERAWESOME. Another server had pirate-themed ranks. On Argo, the ranks were Guildmaster, Doomsguard or Guldie. Thread at http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=210478.

Hilarity ensued, but the feature was deactivated, never to return.

Ya, it was an utter failure. The buggiest I've ever seen Thelanis. After they tried to fix it, it then booted everyone from the guild. They finally just had to do a rollback to fix it. It was a well intentioned idea though. Would be nice to be able to do it in guild, but I don't think we'll ever see it again.

they should fix and implement it. with "the rise of the guilds" update guilds have become more important. before it was just a group of friends. now they directly effect the game.

i don't care about the names that much. what i really want to see is the ability to make more ranks. ranks that have different amount of power in the guild. just because there are stories of people trying to get an officer position just to attack guilds.

probably one of the biggest things that i would want is a rank that lets people recruit people but not kick them. that would help prevent the kind of incidents mentioned above.

with the new things for our guilds we really have a need for things like this.

Yes sadly not available in game

* Unless you are kicked to save on Guild Renown decay
** Unless you want to purchase anything of worth or duration for the ship, which will only be available via DDO Store purchasable Astral Diamonds.

- Guild Ranks and Customization not available.
- Guild basic management and permissions system, not available.
- Guild management of resources not wildly available or glitched.
- Guild amenities randomly unavailable due to patch bugs or glitches.
- Guild ship unavailable due to not being able to teleport to an uncreated public instance.

It's a real shame that the introduction of a more viable guild system wasn't included with the most basic tools for a Guild Leader and their officers to manage their guild. I hope this is rectified in the near future. But the length of time that the basic Guild ranks have been AFK doesn't seem to indicate there is any real desire to do so

I fully agree that these are really basic tools for guild management. I'll toss in my vote that they add these features soon!
