similar to HG up to 3 ships from a guild can be used to fight other guilds for rewards. there would be a total of 6 ships on a private server who will each be returned to a menu when the battle is complete. a flagship will be selected by each guild and the reward for sinking the flag ship is greater then sinking other ships. Upon the sinking of one of these ships, there will be a cooldown or maybe repair cost once sunk. This would give purpose to owning more then just one of each ship in a guild. The matchmaking would be similar to hourglass as the same ship types would fight each other. this would affect the matchmaking time so there would be a quick que option to matchmake against any ship type.
Guild battles
@europa4033 hey there pirate!
I think they could get 3x reputation and 1,5x gold than a normal hg Battle, but there won't be any streak as It gets you to the menú when the Battle ends
Forgot about that lol
Maybe people that are on more than 1 guild can't fight against the other guild where they are but still idk@europa4033 they wouldnt be able to choose which guild to fight, i mean thats like saying "so me an my friend can both que for hg and farm each other" i mean sure if the matchmaking is lucky but it would be unlikley
@ezerpe1 there can be streaks, once you return to menu you can vote to battle again and if you win it your at a 2 streak, if the flagship sank however, there will not be an option to continue a streak, every other ship can be replaced if you have enough ships in the guild, in this menu you will automatically gain the other ships supplies and be able to purchase supplies just like you would be able to do in a normal game, i feel like this menu would be in a guild hideout but i felt like that was too much to put in one post so i just described my idea as a menu, if it was guild hideout i feel it would work similarly to sea dogs tavern
So, if you and the OP are suggesting a 3-v-3 ship battle (all from guilds that you can't pick and choose to fight against as you say, but that detail doesn't matter), that's very much like how Arena was, which Rare has already pulled and has stated isn't coming back. Right now you can queue for hourglass on your guilded ship, and fight against another completely random guilded ship as well. Why would Rare bring an Arena-style pvp match (on a private server with 6 ships) on a private server back?
@europa4033 because its what people want, also as i mentioned this would give a reason to having a large fleet, and another way for guild members to stay active
@europa4033 Also pretty sure there arena was always a battle royal and not a fleet battle, i just think it would be cool to be able to have battles between fleets of ships
Guilds can have a total of 24 players. If you're trying to say that arena-style battles are what's needed in order for guild members to stay, that's on the individual player, not because there's no mode such as the one you describe. Secondly, they'd have to have a new server solely to encorporate this, which means time, money, and resources, and I don't think Rare wants to bother with that (or Arena would still be around). Third, "the matchmaking would be similar to hourglass," why not just fight other guilded ships in hourglass then? Or, plop a FotD down and watch ships come over to you for you to fight? I'm sure many ships will come after you if you're piloting the Burning Blade as well. Why does Rare need to create a special server just for this, when hourglass and organic pvp already exists in the game?
@europa4033 Your missing the point, the point isn't pvp aboard guilded ships, the point is Fleet pvp
Oh no, I got it. I just don't think they'd want to open a private server solely for fleet pvp, when HG already exists. I mean, we had 3 ships we fought against recently who were allianced and stacking FotD. We didn't need a special server to do it.
