Things i would like to see changed/added for guilds

fighter93203 · August 2015

1 - First and foremost the ability to change the % of the cut from the guild store. This will add a new aspect to picking and choosing your guild.
2 - A "Last online" area on the Guild Roster... To help maintain which members are still actively playing the game. (if were gonna have a member cap, we need better member moderation tools)
3 - The Ability for Guild Leaders to send Guild Wide Messages.
4 - The MOTD to be displayed as a Pop-Up when you first log on.
5 - Would be cool to have a "Guild Hall" when the Houses come out...

My thoughts on those:

Yes, that would be nice as long as it's displayed prominently when you go to list an item for sale so that you know exactly what you're getting into.
This already shows up when you hover over a member in the roster, and you can set the roster to sort by "last online". Or does this not work on console?
There are addons for PC that allow mass guild mailings. An option that wasn't an add-on would be nice.
There are addons for PC that do this (but the person seeing the MOTD is the one that has to have the addon installed). Again, an option that wasn't an addon would be nice.
Yeah, but I think this is a loooong way away

2 and 3 should have been in it already.

I only played one other MMO that did not display last log in and allow guild-wide messages. When I was a guild master I had to keep a hand written list of guild members and enter them manually for a mass email, plus 3 of us each divided up the races to keep track of logins by periodically inspecting the guild roster throughout the day. We had to create log sheets. A little ridiculous.

All but #4 sound good. #4 would just be annoying and in the way.

No Can not search "last online" on console... which makes it really hard to monitor activity...
As for the others... No add ons on the console either lol

Well #4 would only be a pop-up on log in, or if a new MOTD was made while logged in.. On console... most people don't even know when the MOTD changes... and it take 2-3 days for the word to get around the guild...

1) I sincerely hope there will be a cap on how much guild leaders can adjust on that. I can see this being abused. 30% is my minimum, and I still dislike that.

2) Useful. One of my guilds does something to check on who's active. He puts up in the MOTD a word of the week to put in your member notes. If it's not there by weeks end you are gone for inactivity.

3) Would be nicer than guild leaders constantly changing the MOTD all the time.

4) I prefer not to have this. It's in my notifications. I'll check it.

5) Would be nice to have a housing system in general.

-I would like Tabards to be more customizable. Be nice if you could put the emblem on shields. Maybe even putting them on our mounts would be pretty cool.

-This would take some more thought than I am giving it, but it's be interesting if we could get skill lines from our own guilds like we get skill lines from our mages and fighters guild.
How it would level up would be important, though I'd imagine you'd need at least one guild to gain the skill line but having more would help level it more in some way. Maybe not.

Passives that are affected by how many of your guildmates are in your group. I'd prefer this skill line to be centered around teamwork. Just as an example, If you activate a synergy, your guildmate gains 50 ultimate as an example of a passive.

Perhaps you level up this skill line by completing dungeons with your guild or killing enemies while in a group with them. Something like that. I am typing with one thumb otherwise id give this more thought. Too much I want to type.

Like all of that.... Def the emblems on our shields...
