No doubt you can and do. There are people moving into the guild from Birch Bis and that increased competition should push everyone on. If it doesnt we are peeing against the wind.
There is a fear of losing people but I dont think we should stagnate. The higher earners will leave then instead.
Also I think the pvp update to console will change some things. On pc if you get to tier 1 each week in pvp you will have earned 100-120 trophies. On console right now it is significantly lower. It takes most people roughly around 3 hours of straight playing to get to tier 1 in pvp currently.
It’s 122,500 from level 1. I’ve been slugging away at 70-80K per week to get 1 kingdom a week leveled, if I can do more, I throw it at another kingdom. You’ve got all yours at 10, right?
FYI I took the 1,100+ seals for Rank 1 from this post
PS Gold sounds ALOT more common after the PvP update.
Youre talking 21 pvp games to get to rank 1 on console (consecutive wins).
Yes all are at level 10, and I have 1.2M Gold saved up for the new Kingdoms 
Just incase they release 10 new kingdoms at once?
Whooot! (more descriptive words here) (thanks forums. “whoot” isn’t descriptive enough??)
So in his description you see that as something all of Birch Team can/will do? He said 300 trophies plus more. Actually yeah I was pretty spot on, it’s about 150 or so trophies a week, which could equal to some 150 battles. Console has it extremely easy right now. Once the new pvp update comes it will be different for most. I personally enjoy pvp more now than I did before. I usually put in between 300-500 trophies a week, but that’s playing some each day for 7 days. (on pc) It’s such a damn drag on console right now.
I have 250k saved in case they do 2 at once. I will almost have it covered.
To catch up by December they need a new one every 2-3 weeks. Hopefully put a little away this week myself
I still feel that I’m incredibly short of resources for all the troops that are releasing… Souls and Traitstones. How in the world can we expect to get all the Mythics if they are released 2 at a time.
Lots of old posts about burning 6,000+ Keys just to get one!
I just spent 20K souls getting Whitehelm to 3 stars… and now i’m back down at 4K again.
I’m in a similar boat, I’ve only got 29k Souls.
Whitehelm 3 Stars… set that Kingdom as your home and get on board they Glory train.
Hiya, hope you all don’t mind a PC only player dropping in, here’s some context to my post that is quoted here:
I have VIP 3 and Dragon Armor. I typically receive anywhere from 1500-4k gold per pvp match. I am in a high end guild, and have gained almost all troops in the game in the 45 days since I joined my current guild. My invade team power is about 7400, defense team power is about 6k.
I typically hit Tier 1 pvp at about 100-120 trophies and about 40 battles.
I almost exclusively play the hard option for ranked pvp, which awards 3 trophies per win. I know nearly nothing about pre-2.0 pvp, because I started playing well after that came out on PC.
I used to shoot for about 50 trophies/50k gold donations a day Mon-Sat to meet our reqs of 300/300. Once I got my really good team running and got kingdoms leveled, I’ve been able to hit 500k/week just from earning my trophies. I typically spend about 90 minutes each day getting my trophies (at least half of which is in chat, not actually playing.)
This week I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on the forums, reading everything I can about the guild update, because I’ve got a few guildies that are really confused by it. (Also, maybe a little obsessive, definitely a lot curious.)
To hit the 1500 from there, it would take about 50 pvp battles, 100 explore/challenge runs chasing traitstones, 40 levels, 20 long TH runs, or some combination of all that.
Yeah exactly, easily looking at more pvp than most are doing at Birch team at the moment. Thank you for your incite! I too am a pc player in a top 50 guild. Have deathknight armor, with a 7500 rated invade/defense team. It takes me 100-120 trophies to get to tier 1. which is roughly for me about the same 45-50 battles. At usually 3 hours same as most of my guild. So I agree people will have to be a bit more active than they are now every week to get to the 1500 seals. I’m a bit concerned for Birch Team since no one wants reqs to raise now…Hopefully once the guild update is out we’ll figure it all out more. Hopefully it is not necessary for everyone to be so hardcore.
This is more difficult than at first glance as we are comparing 3 systems: console trophies, current PC PvP trophies, and yet unreleased 2.1 guild seals.
The week is only half over and most players are in the 50-100 trophies range so I would put that at 30-80 battles. Expanding that for the week we are at 60-160 battles per player. Average around 110 battles… more than enough for 1,500 seals once you figure in all the extras. As to the BIS guild I just don’t know.
PS: at least 3 players are in the 200-300 range already, I omitted them because I don’t know if that is real or the usual reset bug. I suppose it could be possible they are doing 380-580 battles for the week…
The problem is you have to look at BOTH reqs. If Birch team doesn’t raise reqs it won’t be enough. They have to get that many seals PLUS a whole bunch of gold. So you’re looking at roughly let’s say 100 battles, plus roughly 150-200k gold at the very least to keep getting anywhere near the rewards you have now. which would put the reqs at, at least 200+ for your average player. Which is why people need to get as close to all kingdoms maxed or not care about it to have the expendable gold. Console players have another month to do so, so at least we have that going for us. If you set reqs too low all I’m saying is people tend to do just the reqs and that’s it. If reqs are still left at let’s say 120 that doesn’t seem like enough.
200k gold requirement just to equal the resources we get now?
200k is feasible. People need to get the kingdoms done - simple as that.
All good discussion. That’s why in my first post I stated 1,500 Seals should be a requirement Period as it should be a piece of cake.
What the guild needs to decide is Gold contributions…
