@Cyrup Iâm confused so please will you clarify? When you say âdeadâ guilds donât get automatically registered does that mean that âaliveâ guilds do? Or do you mean that no guilds get automatically registered?
Clearly means s/he doesnât actually know. As they said theyâll be looking into it above.
Yup so than explain why there are two threads of guilds fighting numerous dead guilds⌠suppose they just had no one click to join and then of course failed to do any fightsâŚ
I have no explanation which is why I am asking a developer instead of badgering people who are just asking a question. Please if you have nothing helpful to add, consider not adding anything. Thank you
Hey Doc! Sorry, typed that just before lunch A guild has to manually register for Guild Wars to be involved in the War for that week. So, no guilds get automatically registered.
Itâs against the community guidelines to falsely claim what a developer has said to you. I didnât directly mention anything to do with âdead guildsâ in your PM, other than to quote the topic of the thread.
Even if players donât play GW, they get the minimal rewards if their guild is registered.
And I guess they donât play their fights as they have no chance to win.
Thanks. Iâm glad itâs on the radar. Iâm starting to feel a little guilty steamrolling newbies.
Rising through the ranks has some interesting features. This was our week 11 and 12:
There was another guild who finished second after us with 10x less points than us who rose the same amount of brackets in between two guild war weeks. So we got nothing from our 10x higher score.
If there would be a âlineâ in bracket 100, that would mean 300 weeks of rising for a new guild to reach bracket 1. Do you think this game even exists in 5 years? A more reasonable would be to set the line to bracket 20. Maybe 30 on PC where the player base is bigger.
I thought winning took you up 2 brackets?
No. We rose from bracket 62 to 61 just three weeks ago.
This is just my guess, but I think it depends on how many guilds above you in ranks break up or donât register for next weeks GW. I have no other explanation why we sometimes go up 4 brackets and sometimes 1. Especially when you look at that example of mine, where us top2 in bracket 102 got up to bracket 97. I just think that ~40 guilds didnât register.
Thank you for your answers @Cyrup. I really hope you will look into this as soon as possible.
Interesting⌠Iâm not so certain that was case, I recall reading an extremely venomous over the top post directed at a developer. Iâve read a lot of things over the years but I found it disturbing and felt awful for the dev. They we removed from the forum very shortly after that, not long after that was the incident.
But whatever, totally unprovable either way.
My hazy recollection is that forum-goers got exceptionally sketchy with Nimhain around the time that death threats became a thing. Those users (mostly) arenât around anymore, but our part of the social community is far from blameless.
How about this for an easy solution⌠You would have to have at least 10 members in your guild to qualify for GW?
Guilds that fall under that threshold at the start of Guild Wars would be automatically removed from their registered bracket. Whether or not, it allegedly, registered for them or not.
The guilds that qualified would automatically move up to fill the spots in brackets left by the removal of dead guilds.
@Cyrup
During our climb from bracket 164 to bracket 57 we have faced 95% of the time guilds that consist of less than four players.
Sure the devs need to respect these kind of players, but lets be honest. Three players donât make a guild.
As long as they are active yes they do make a guild.
There are family and friends guilds who only want to play together.
How many members is a start-up guild allowed to have? I know the cap doesnât start at 30 players but donât even know on what basis it increases? I think it is purely gold donations that increases the guildâs level (and therefore the maximum number of members)?
I donât see a problem with a small group of friends or family having a guild of 3 and donât see any reason why they shouldnât be able to participate in guild wars if that is what they want to do, though they obviously wonât be able to compete in the top few brackets. From where I sit, I think a group of three good players could probably win bracket 21 in a week that a larger organized guild (like ours this week) isnât passing through.
Any guild that scores zero in a week should cease being auto-registered and should not earn any rewards for âparticipationâ. We donât need to argue about some arbitrary minimum number for either number of members or score.
