2.1 Preview - Guilds

FYI, for anyone worried about us just overloading you with Maps and saying “Oh, they’re worth X”… don’t worry. The green tasks give a total of only 9 Maps (on the first 3 tasks) before they switch over to giving Event Keys… the reason being that low-level players actually get more value out of Maps than they do Event Keys, so we put some low-hanging fruit for them there.

The comment about 99% of player base finding maps worthless is inaccurate by the way… we sell LOTS of maps in the weekly subscription to low level players who enjoy the Treasure mini-game, and can’t be bothered, or who don’t want to farm them with Tyri.

Regarding Gems & Glory Keys… if you take those in isolation… you’re going to get a LOT less than you did before if you’re one of the 0.17% of players in the very top few guilds. Instead we’re giving you other types of keys, resource bonuses, extra skill points, etc… We try to put a conservative value on those when we come up with the graph. Some are self-evident given their shop value, others like XP Bonus & Skill Bonuses we have to arrive at a figure by comparing them to costs of things in the game that allow us to obtain something similar.
