Guild Overhaul!

I also strongly believe there should be a system to where players could donate resources and money into a collective Guild Treasury. So any player within a guild can donate gold, doubloons, ancient coins and even resources like plank, wood, food.

Might suggest no to Gold, AC and Doubloons. Mainly AC. Reason being I can see this being a “must” for some guilds and if you can’t pay, kicked. Or once you donate enough, kicked and losing

A lot of players log out and lose a lot of resources they have because they no longer need it. But what if there was a way to take all those resources and donate it to the guild so that instead players logging in having to purchase all these resources.. they could simply take a bit from The Guild treasury to stock their ship. This would eliminate the need of having to spend 30 to 50k every time to stock your ship every voyage..

“Have too”. You don’t have too do anything and this would just create issues for players not in guilds

@burnbacon Both are valid points.

The topic on dating coins/currency to the guild isn't something I would even expect Rare to add to the game anyways. I suppose it's very necessary though. Just a cool thought. I do suppose adding doubloons and ancient coins would prevent certain players from seeking bilge rat commendations or tasks to earn them.. So I could see that being an issue.

The second is not something that was suggested as a hard and fast requirement. I was simply saying that for some players, they spend a good amount of gold setting up sessions and spending that amount solely on resources (though repairs are still not taken into account here either..). So, if players wanted to donate to the Guild (of their own volition ofc) then they could do so with resources to help other players set up.

Again, not a requirement, but a neat optional tool that can be utilized for the good of the guild.

For instance, a friend and I played last night for around 4 hours and sunk every ship on the server without dying. We also had 3 cannons of rage on the sloop as bow chasers. By the end we had over 300 planks and over 500 cannonballs, not even including food. Rather than simply logging out and losing everything, it would be incredible if you had the option to return to your guild manor and donate everything. Not saying this to "show off", just putting things into perspective.

We would be set up for another few sessions after that with what we could have donated.

The entirety of the idea of the guild manor and every individual aspects and part of the guild manor and guild system that would be set up is optional and solely based on player preference.

It's a new idea that's meant to expand upon existing tools and systems within the sandbox whilst giving the players more creative freedom and options should they choose. That's the main idea.
