Guilds

    Ahoy mateys,
    Today I would like to talk with you about Guilds. Guilds is one of the Main & the Best features of this season. I really like them. Therefore, I have created a small list of ideas, which would make them even more interesting to play. Here it is:

    • Guild Recruitment Letters
      To join the guild right now, ye need to invite yer friend. However, not all of us have friends, therefore, I propose to be able to invite crewmates with whom you sailing or have recently sailed. The invites will be in form of Letters, which will expire in III Sea Days (72 hours).
    • Guild Treasury
      The gold ye earn not only goes to yer pockets, but to yer Guild Treasury too (If ye fly Guild Emissary Flag). 30% of what ye earn goes to Guild Treasury, which then can be used to buy Guild Supplies, Cosmetics, Restore yer ships or Share between yer Guild members. Ye and yer Guild members can not only can withdraw gold form Guild Treasury, they can also invest it. Here is the list of maximum withdrawal and investment for each rank:
      I - Owner: W: Unlimited, I: Unlimited.
      II - Leader: W: 15% - 30%, I: Unlimited.
      III - Member: W: 5% - 10%, I: 5% - 50%.
      All of it of course can be adjusted in settings or changed due to different rights given to different role.
    • Guild Hideout
      Guild Hideout is the Special Hub, which takes place "Somewhere in Caribbean". Hideout will look like a Spanish Fort, which can be decorated with trinkets & other, and used to Socialise with your Guild members. Ye can cook meal there, plan yer next voyage, share yer tales of adventures, sleep and even pet yer pets. And thats not it, on the very top of the Fort , ye can practice yer skills by participating in Friendly Duels or Insult Sword Fighting Contest. If someones breaking the rules, misbehaves or need to sober up, ye can alway lock em behind the bars. But not for long, we all pirates after all.
    • Capital Ship
      Capital Ship is the title given to the Ship, which is most used in the Guild. Such ship, not only will represent yer Fleet, but also will grand additional bonus to Guild Reputation and gold recieved to Guild Treasury (+10%). This title is not permanently attached to the same ship, it will change every week depending on the popularity of the ships.
    • Expanded fleet
      I propose to expand the size of fleet from VI ships to X. So there will be more options and ships to sail on.

    That's it. If ye have any questions, concerns or changes you would like to add or remove, then leave yer comments below. Otherwise, I wish you to have a nice day or night and I will see you on the seas.

    With Best Regards,

    Selgewick The Seaman
    Chronicler of Legend
    Captain of "Fearless Nightgale", "Golden Privateer", "Revenge of Atlantis" & "Prometheus"

    Try the Guild Invite emote for crewmates (or other people you encounter).

    People are already complaining they can get kicked out of a guild, and now they can also lose the gold they invested when removed from Guild ?

    I'd rather see Rare spend their resources for (a) fixing things and (b) new things to do in game.

    Why ?

    There is no limit to the number of ships in a guild, the six spots you see is the first page. Beware, there is currently a bug for guilds with 40+ ships so don't go overboard just yet.

    The treasury idea sounds awesome. Hideout is awesome.
    I'm down for letters, but they seem redundant

    To join the guild right now, ye need to invite yer friend.

    you can invite strangers ingame by use of emote.

    The gold ye earn not only goes to yer pockets, but to yer Guild Treasury too

    So if I were to be kicked....I lose that gold?

    Guild Hideout is the Special Hub, which takes place "Somewhere in Caribbean"

    Lore wise it wont work. It has to be within the SoT as we are "stuck" here. So it be better to use the old Arena base.

    Capital Ship is the title given to the Ship, which is most used in the Guild. Such ship, not only will represent yer Fleet, but also will grand additional bonus to Guild Reputation and gold recieved to Guild Treasury

    What is its purpose??

    @crowedhunter I see. Thank you for your reply.

    @burnbacon 1. Thank you for this information, I didn't know. 2. Excellent question. The answer is No. The idea is that ones you kicked out all your investment will be given back to you in a form of "Safe Deposit", which can be used only ones you Create or Enter another Guild. 3. Well, my idea were that we would be able to use a portal or dive below the waves in order to reach the guild Hideout. However, I see, you are more interested in Old Arena Base. 4. To encourage participants in guild to sail on Certain Captain's Ships. And most importantly, Restore ships after each use.

    To me the most obvious missing element in guilds is a leaderboard. Not a guild vs guild leaderboard but a simple listing within the guild to see who's contributing and who's a freeloader. This would make managing a guild much easier. With the rather limited chronicles system that they've given us it's virtually impossible to see who's pulling their weight.
