Guild leadership tools
The developers are considering a number of leadership tools for guilds:[1][2][3]
- Recruitment tools.[2][3]
- Management tools.[2][3]
- Delegation tools.[2][3]
- Motivational systems.[2][3]
- Communication tools.[2][3]
- Roster.[2][3]
- Standard guild ranks (such as Guild leader and officers).[5]
- Custom rank names.[5]
- A list of available permissions per rank/role.[5]
- Departments/micro-structures (such as battallions) within the guild structure with an associated leader.[6][5]
- Freehold permissions may be associated with these micro-structures.[6]
- The idea behind guild permissions for freeholds, is that within guilds there will be micro-structures of battallions etc. If we end up allowing guild permissions for freeholds it will likely only apply to the other members within the guild's micro-structure.[6] – Steven Sharif
- Audit logs may be available to guild leaders and officers.[7]
- Guild stats.[8]
- Information about guild membership, such as archetype and class makeup will be made available.[8]
- Access to guild stats is subject a permissions structure.[8]
- For me personally, being a guild leader of a very large guild in the past, these types of administrative functions are life savers for guild leaders... Guild leaders are a very important part of the community for MMORPGs in general and the reason for that is- think of it like a queen on the board- "I bring order to chaos". To a degree, guild leaders are that order to the chaos. They help organize- they do so through lieutenants- they delegate responsibilities. There are good leaders, there are bad leaders, but essentially it's a highly social environment and if you can find a good guild and that guild is augmented with complimentary services from the company, from the game itself, it just makes that life easier and allows them to execute better. So in my opinion that is an important aspect.[4] – Steven Sharif
- Guild management tools are expected to be available at the start of Alpha-2.[1]
Guild formation
There are prerequisites for guild formation.[9]
- Minimum member count of around five individuals.[9]
- Material and currency cost.[9]
- Completing a quest line.[9]
- Minimum level requirement.[9]
Players may be able to form guilds in starting areas if minimum requirements are met.[10]
Guild names may be up to 30-32 characters in length.[11]
Guild membership
A character may only be a member of a single guild.[12]
- Alts on the same account can join different guilds.[12]
- Intrigue, espionage and intelligence gathering is a legitimate aspect of the game.[12]
- A guild may only have a single guild leader.[13]
- Transfer of guild leadership is possible, but mechanics on transferring leadership if a guild leader has abandoned the guild have not been finalized.[14]
- Guild masters can issue payouts to guild members.[15]
Guild invites
Characters may be invited to join a guild from anywhere on Verra.[16]
- Invites can be done through the guild UI.[16]
- There will also be a guild invite chat command.[16]
Server reservations
Server reservations allow guild members as well as unaffiliated players to reserve character slots on a server starting in the Beta testing stages of the game.[17]
This would likely be utilized more so by guilds than that would be solo or unaffiliated players; and I believe that the solo player they may have friends that they want to play with. That's fine, they can also still with those friends do the reservation system, but the player who is just joining the game fresh and doesn't have a community that they're part of, I don't think they really mind in that regard and will not utilize that system.[17] – Steven Sharif
Guild benefits
Guild benefits that are being considered by the developers:[2]
- Gear enhancements.[18]
- Passives.[2]
- Questlines.[2]
- Sala del gremio.[2]
- Castillos del gremio.[2]
- Guild activities.[2]
- Name of guild displayed next to character name.[19]
- Guild tabards.[19]
- Guild mounts.[19]
- Guild coats.[19]
- Guild barding.[19]
Progresión de gremios
La progresión de los gremios se consigue miediante la participación en diferentes sistemas.[20]
- Misiones.[20][21]
- Nodos.[20]
- Organizaciones sociales.[20]
- Elaboración (Crafting) de determinados objetos.[21]
- Eventos.[21]
Cuando el gremio progresa, se otorgan puntos de habilidad que el gremio puede asignar para desbloquear aspectos de su árbol de habilidades, como habilidades pasivas, aumentos y número de miembros.[20][22][23]
- Las habilidades pasivas aumentan determinadas estadísticas relacionadas con la capacidad de un miembro del gremio en el combate u otros aspectos del mismo, como puede ser la economía.[20]
- Los aumentos pueden aplicarse en los niveles superiores de la progresión del gremio.[20]
- Los miembros del gremio no necesitan ser ciudadanos del mismo nodo para beneficiarse de las habilidades pasivas y de los aumentos.[24]
- El tamaño del gremio puede ser reemplazado por la progresión del gremio.[20][25]
- Cuanto mayor sea el límite de miembros del gremio, menos opciones de habilidades estarán disponibles para ese gremio.[26]
- Las alianzas de gremios pueden ser una parte clave para crear un "gremio" más grande.[25]
- La sala del gremio se puede desbloquear en una determinada etapa de avance del gremio.[22]
- Los gremios no pueden reajustar sus puntos de habilidad una vez asignados. Esto está sujeto a pruebas.[27]
- It's not always going to be combat. You could have an economic focus guild. You could have a trade oriented guild; and there's all sorts of things that you can put together and give your guild its own identity.[20] – Jeffrey Bard
Guild size
Guild size of 300 is currently the maximum cap that can be attained by leveling the guild and selecting the path of size as opposed to the path of guild skills.[26]
- What we're trying to create is an environment where there's a duality between guilds that try to go towards population and then guilds that choose to forego population in exchange for a deeper access to passive skills that the players have access to. Will the meta be for many smaller guilds to co-locate with each other? Yes, I'm sure that will be utilized by some number of smaller guilds in order to try to combat the numbers that other guilds might have access to. I don't think that that's a bad thing. I don't necessarily know if that's a meta either, because it's going to be beneficial for larger guilds to be allied with smaller guilds that might have access to those passive abilities that they don't have access to. So, what I think the meta will actually be is probably a mixture of large guild and small guilds that exist within the alliances so that they can overcome the types of challenges that occur in objective-based gameplay for events, where you need the smaller guild with the passives to overcome the challenge rating, but you also need the numbers from the larger guilds in order to engage with the opponent at the choke points.[28] – Steven Sharif
- Guild size can be traded off for guild progression.[20][25]
- Guild alliances may be a key part in creating a larger "guild".[25]
- Q: What’s the minimum guild size to really have a meaningful impact on the realm?
- A: This is a tough question to answer. Single individuals can have a large impact on the realm without guild support, in the form of mayorships, Artisanship, economic opportunities, etc. We’re also balancing guilds through guild levels, where guilds must choose between size and effectiveness - smaller guilds will have an opportunity to get a leg up through abilities that larger guilds can’t afford to take. At the end of the day, having clear goals and organizational structure will likely matter more than raw numbers.[30] – Sarah Flanagan
There are mechanics that are geared towards larger and smaller guilds.[25]
- Larger guilds can siege fortresses.[25]
- Larger guilds won’t have access to power boosting guild ability slots.[25]
- Small groups can do some things better than larger groups.[25]
- Sieges will have things that smaller groups have an advantage in.[25]
- It's important to note that the 300 is the maximum cap that is attained by leveling the guild and selecting the path of size as opposed to the path of guild skills. So the larger you choose to allow for members to join your guild, increasing that member cap, the less focused and honed the available skill options will be from a guild level up perspective for guild members. So the way that works is it plays as a balance/counterbalance to larger guilds versus smaller more honed and focused guilds. It gives them an equitable edge of participation.[26] – Steven Sharif
- If you have more objective-based combat that revolves around high mobility and agility strong focus, organization I would expect the smaller guild to outperform the larger guild with regards to that. If you're speaking purely a numbers game and they're meeting on the field then I would expect the larger guild to perform in that. The balance comes in our play scenarios. Do we offer solely a field based combat system where you show up with the numbers you have in which case you lean heavily towards zergs or do you implement designs that feature both components of objective based combat that involves organizational rule as opposed to just having that field presence; and we intend to offer both.[26] – Steven Sharif
- There are absolutely guilds out there that have a large following and good organizational leadership and can structure their raids well; and I think those will be the most performing in the game obviously; and that's where then guild sizes come to play creating the opportunity for division in the game to allow for this subterfuge to play a role and politics and stuff like that. But our focus is making a place for smaller guilds to be competitive with larger guilds as well.[31] – Steven Sharif
Gear enhancements
Las mejoras de equipo (piedras o runas de poder) se pueden aplicar a armas para añadir elementos o tipos de daño.[32][33]
- Las mejoras de equipo no aumentan el requisito de nivel del objeto .[34]
We are very likely going to have a rune system and then we'll have the ability to sort of enchant weapons outside of that too... That's not always going to be like a vertical progression... Some of it's going to be giving up something to get something else; so maybe I do less physical damage but more magical damage, that thing.[33] – Jeffrey Bard
- La progresión en varios sistemas Pvp desbloqueará piedras de mejora que otorgan al equipo beneficios temporales centrados en PvP (mediante un sistema de engarce).[18] El rendimito se mide en temporadas PvP de 6 meses.[35]
It's not as though you're going to necessarily acquire these once and then you're set for your PvP enchantments, but instead you'll have to continually perform month after month in order to keep having those slotted enchantments.[18] – Steven Sharif
Guild housing
The term "guild housing" refers to guild buildings and not guild owned player housing.[36]
Sala del gremio
Las Salas de Gremio sirven como punto de encuentro para un gremio, ofreciendo una serie de beneficios y opciones de personalización.[38]
- Las salas del gremio deben ser construidas en las fincas del gremio o dentro de los nodos.[39][40][41]
- Los salones del gremio dentro del nodo solo pueden ser reclamados por gremios "patrocinadores" de ese nodo. Estos tienen ventajas y beneficios diferentes a los salones ubicados en las fincas.[41]
- Cuando un gremio alcanza cierto nivel, a su maestro de gremio se le otorga un certificado de finca de gremio para permitir la construcción de una sala del gremio.[39]
- Las salas del gremio son objetivos en las [[Guild wars|guerras de gremios].[42]
- Una sala de gremio solo puede ser destruída por un asedio a un nodo exitoso. Esto contrasta con las fortalezas del gremio, que pueden ser sitiadas durante una guerra de gremios.[39][42][43]
- Una sala de gremio solo alberga a un único gremio.[44]
¡Las salas de gremio son la máxima expresión del poder de un gremio! En Ashes, estas estructuras servirán como puntos focales para un gremio, ofreciendo a cualquier gremio que las construya una gran cantidad de beneficios, así como opciones de personalización.[38]
Guild freeholds
- When a guild reaches a certain level, its guild master is granted a guild freehold certificate to enable placement of a guild hall.[39]
Castillos del gremio
Five guild castles exist in Ashes of Creation.[47][46][48]
- Each of the five castles has its own static layout. Castle siege defenses include deploying traps and blockades within the castle, as well as hiring mercenary NPCs to defend specific locations.[47][49][50][51]
- While the hard structural environment is static and not able to be- you're not building a castle if you own a castle, you're inheriting a historic ruined castle that is representative of the past because it has some tie-in to specific types of powers that we haven't gotten into from a lore perspective yet but we haven't expressed to the community. That's something that we're going to leave for the community to find out when they play. But when you place mercenaries and you place those blockades and you place those traps, that affects the level design of the castle according to the strategy you might use to defend it.[47] – Steven Sharif
- Asedios a castillos occur in the open world but may become instanced based on testing.[52]
- There is one castle located on an island that is able to be affected by naval combat.[56][57]
- Castles will initially be occupied by an NPC adversary. These are the primary antagonists in the storyline. Gremios have a period of time to level up in order to siege these castles.[58][59]
- These Castles are occupied when players arrive on Verra, and their current inhabitants will have to be removed before any player can claim them. Castles will be dangerous and high-level raid zones until they can be cleared, and the first group of players to do so will gain the Castle as their reward.[46]
Fortalezas del gremio
Fortalezas del gremio are siegable guild halls within Ashes of Creation. These are different from nodes and castles.[43]
- Guild fortresses are objectives in guild wars.[42] These are contested on a regular basis.[39]
- The developers will decide if guild fortresses will be implemented in the game or shelved.[39]
- The fortress design is also something that might be on the shelf. We haven't decided yet. We're going to look into it, but the idea behind the fortress is that this is a competitive guild hall so to speak where you have to contend for it on a regular basis so to speak; or can be taken from you necessarily. Whereas the guild hall is a structure similar to freehold structure can only be taken through successful sieges against a node per-se are not taken but destroyed.[39] – Steven Sharif
