Guild Battleground Guide

[iamlepre]

The Match continues unless every member of a team leaves, in which case they forfeit.

Good! Ty Gary.

Doh! PL on my mind...

You'll be ok:

UPDATE: We've discovered a couple of issues we need to fix before releasing this into the wild.

Very sorry, but Guild Battlegrounds will have to wait another week.

Tomorrow we'll be enabling Ankhs dropping from Bosses instead.

Apologies, but thank you for understanding we want to release things that are not broken.

well could you at least just open Maus 5? It'd be nice to have a week of farming new content.

Guild Battlegrounds: PREVIEW

Let's get ready to rumble!

Why Beta?

It's challenging to create all the edge cases of multiple 10 v 10 battles going on simultaneously. We've done all we think we can here, so it's time to get it into your hands!
While in Beta, we have nerfed the maximum bet to 10K gold, but the system has the capacity to wager multi-millions. We'd like to shake out all the bugs before you folks risk your hard-earned gold.

How does it work?

Guild Leaders are the only ones who can issue challenges, but they can challenge any member of a different guild. To issue a challenge, inspect the other person. If they are in a Guild you can challenge, there will be a button in the lower right hand corner of their Inspect Screen:

Attachment 158207

The Challenger will then have a screen where they can set a Wager (not required), Min/ Max levels, and number of players per team (maximum of 10 v 10). All Guild Battles last for 15 minutes.

Attachment 158208

Sending a challenge with a Wager costs Battleground Tokens and a small percentage of gold. Battleground Tokens can be purchased for a nominal amount of platinum. It does not cost any tokens to accept a challenge.

Attachment 158209

Once the Challenge has been issues all members of both guilds will see a System Message in their Chat:

Attachment 158210

Currently Guild Masters are the only ones who can accept a challenge (so both Masters need to be online for a Battleground). This is to ensure that they both have the funds necessary to participate in a Wager as well as the responsibility to distribute winnings if the battle is won. Battles are accepted in a new Guild Battle tab in the Social menu:

Attachment 158211

Once the Challenge has been accepted, guild members can enter the battleground. Guild Members must be rank of Combatant or above to enter the Battlegrounds:

Attachment 158212

Combatants rank above general Members (and below Officers). They enter the Battlefield from their Guild Battle tab:

Attachment 158213

The current PvP Battleground is Blood Beach. We may expand these in the future based on your feedback. As Combatants enter the field, they are all dressed in either Green or Yellow vanity garb to minimize all distractions from particles, etc:

Attachment 158214 Attachment 158215

Players duke it out here, while non-participating guild members can watch the progress on the Battle Report:

Attachment 158216

Once a battle is over, funds are transferred to whatever Guild Leader is victorious (assuming there was a Wager). There is also a System message to all of Arlor about who the victors are:

Attachment 158217

Finally, Guild Members can see their previous wins and losses in the Battle History button on the Guild Battle tab:

Attachment 158218

This should be enough to get you guys going. Once the system is in place we look forward to refining it based on your feedback. As soon as we think it is stable enough, we'll take off the wager limit and see some REAL action!

Feedback and Questions below, thank you for all your patience while we got this system together.

Cheers,

- g

Garry, you and your team have done it again! Great implementation to the pvp world. What is the max amount of gold that can be wagered is it 10k per token or is there no limit.

LOL! The famous Laquint!

[Dieadeath]

What is Laquint?

[Azebor]

Is the damage reduced in battlegrounds to compensate for 10x attacks?

[Avaree]

Thanks in advance

Info here is that we've done some schedule swapping and the content surrounding these sets will not be coming out at this time. Instead we're going to give you all Stage 4 sooner

Justg some concerns about GBG ( IM calling guilds battle ground GBG now :3)
*will the guild master have the option to kick the member that are in the grounds for if some reason someone in the guild is payed to block
A member of a guild in the Guild Battleground who is kicked from the guild will be removed from the Guild Battleground are (but any kills they've given up will remain)

*Also where are we on the none speed set rule :3
Speed sets are allowed in Guild Battlegrounds, just like all pieces of gear in the game

*If a player leaves the guild while he is in GBG what will happen
That player will be removed from the GBG, but their kills and deaths earned while part of the guild will still count

*Will nekro only give a shield to the 4 closest members?
Yis, most (I want to say all but I won't) multi target abilities prefer the closest targets

can i have a cookie?
No, I eated them.

*mages and tank heals how will this work, wil it bee heal the closet 4 to you
or will it heal all
Again it will heal the closest targets

*Whats stops the enemy team from stacking 1 mage and 9 tanks?
1 Tank and 9 Rogues maybe? Or 9 Mages? There are no class restrictions

*Will we get an option to turn of notifications for system due to possible spam issues
We'll keep an eye on this

* will there be a lb ?
Not at the current time. Possibilities are endless (though we don't want to promote dummy guild farming)

when i kill someone useing hisha and lepro can i reroll and loot there arcane armor ������

Could we get a 25 Ankh kit as a drop instead of a just 1 Ankh?

A drop worth (at best) 3-4k gold really won't add much, but a 25 Ankh kit (let's peg the value at about 70-75k) IS worthwhile and more than offsets the cost of a typical mauso run. In fact, I would say that it would be a worthwhile reason to run the mausoleum.

So long as this isn't a drop of mythic rarity (Husk armor, Fossil, and other unreasonably rare drops), it gives farmers a legitimate, net positive, revenue stream.

Honestly, many of us simply liquidate the Legendary drops, because aside from two or three specific items, most are worth only a few thousand gold at best. This is one of the reasons why, to me at least, it seems that interest in mauso is waning. I make more from the Golden Elite Runners Chests that I get from mobs than even the best drops from boss kills. (Note that I have never dropped 61 Blades of Potency, nor any of the other high value gear, it all seems to be lv57-60 garbage).

[Kaziscate]

Nice! Even though I don't pvp this is pretty awesome! My only concern is about how annoying system messages would get. Maybe in the future have a don't recieve battleground system messages setting?
