2.1 Guild Tasks Nerf and Replacement

so diminishing returns or higher cost per gain?

When making a past assertion that ‘Nerf this or Nerf that’ post popularity is rampant on the forums, I truly did not predict a ‘Nerf tasks’ post. My hat is off to the bunny trails, political and otherwise, that these proclamations have produced.

In spite of all of the unmitigated glee engendered by ‘nerf task’ excitement–along with the “arguments” (air quotes implied)–I do hope that the future poor soul that works hard to get into a top guild with like-minded players and even (gasp) trophy requirements does not find the journey was for naught. Perhaps that can be kept in mind when making these alterations?

We now join my speech containing undeniable arguments against ‘nerf culture’ already in progress [INTERIOR AUDITORIUM - EVENING]:

"…results in the significant probability that ‘nerf culture’ maximized to the fullest potential, within the constraints of demographic variance, provided all of the aforementioned nefarious and derivationally motivated contingencies. ‘Nerf Culture’ is, in a word, completely and utterly morally bankrupt and perpetuated by heavy caffeine use, GMOs, and hairspray-brandishing hippies depleting the ozone.

This is, of course, somewhat oversimplified, but its implications need not be belabored. In conclusion, ‘nerf culture’ and its behavioral objectives prove that the end of the world is upon us."

I leave you all with one final thought:

@Sirrian - thanks for all the responses!

everyone else -

  • With a major update - much like freeze - we got to hash out a bunch of things before but we dont really know anything)
  • the hero changes caused a lot of dissent and the new pvp but it seems to be evening out now… lets give the guild changes a chance before we just go - shit it sucks! -
  • the devs dont want to give out too much info in case something changes.

i never really understood why trophies/guild rankings were such a big deal specially after your guild got to the 100% match on daily bonus. (yes - i am in a guild that didnt have that when i joined) - there is no added benefit to being in the top 100 (other than bragging). I know personally im looking forward to doing something besides keys and gems for my guild. guilds should be more important than just keys, gems, and daily gold.

If I read correctly, this thread was created NOT to say ‘tasks should be nerfed’ BUT to say ‘tasks will probably be nerfed, what good things would we like to see instead?’…

Unfortunately despite good intentions @studs under-estimated the potential here to start arguments over trivia and generate acrimony not ideas.

I suggest this thread be closed. I’d welcome a new guild ideas thread (carefully phrased to avoid the economy debate)…

Good idea, @Jainus. I think the mighty Belushi summed it up pretty well 4 posts higher too :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
