Guildes
- Q: Comment allez-vous empêcher les grosses guildes "mafieuses" de posséder tous les bons donjons et les boss du monde en les campant ?
- R: La vraie réponse à cette question sera ce qui se passe traditionnellement dans les jeux non basés sur les factions, où la politique est le moteur de l'interaction entre les joueurs... Au fil du temps, il y a des trahisons dans la "guilde de la mafia" et ils se séparent en deux groupes et rejoignent l'autre camp ou il y a des choses bizarres qui peuvent se produire à cet égard. Donc je pense que ce problème se résoudra de lui-même. Je ne pense pas que les développeurs doivent nécessairement intervenir et dire non, forçons cette politique ou prenons cet aspect en main. Je pense que chaque fois que vous avez une brute, vous aurez une "contre-brute" et c'est quelque chose que nous essayons d'encourager dans le cadre du processus politique.[1] – Steven Sharif
- L'une des choses qui, selon moi, contrera naturellement le risque qu'une méga-guilde possède le serveur et tue la concurrence, c'est que Ashes est en constante évolution. Ainsi, la façon dont les nœuds apparaissent, disparaissent, peuvent être détruits en plus des châteaux existant pour exercer une pression, et ces événements mondiaux apparaissent. C'est un monde immense qui change constamment. Ces deux éléments combattent naturellement la possibilité pour les méga guildes de prendre le contrôle d'un serveur particulier.[2] – Steven Sharif
Guild formation
There are prerequisites for guild formation.[3]
- Minimum member count of around five individuals.[3]
- Material and currency cost.[3]
- Completing a quest line.[3]
- Minimum level requirement.[3]
Players may be able to form guilds in starting areas if minimum requirements are met.[4]
Guild names may be up to 30-32 characters in length.[5]
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.[6]
- 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.[7] – Steven Sharif
- Guild size can be traded off for guild progression.[8][9]
- Guild alliances may be a key part in creating a larger "guild".[9]
- 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.[11] – Sarah Flanagan
There are mechanics that are geared towards larger and smaller guilds.[9]
- Larger guilds can siege fortresses.[9]
- Larger guilds won’t have access to power boosting guild ability slots.[9]
- Small groups can do some things better than larger groups.[9]
- Sieges will have things that smaller groups have an advantage in.[9]
- 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.[6] – 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.[6] – 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.[12] – Steven Sharif
Guild membership
A character may only be a member of a single guild.[13]
- Alts on the same account can join different guilds.[13]
- Intrigue, espionage and intelligence gathering is a legitimate aspect of the game.[13]
- A guild may only have a single guild leader.[14]
- Transfer of guild leadership is possible, but mechanics on transferring leadership if a guild leader has abandoned the guild have not been finalized.[15]
- Guild masters can issue payouts to guild members.[16]
Guild invites
Characters may be invited to join a guild from anywhere on Verra.[17]
- Invites can be done through the guild UI.[17]
- There will also be a guild invite chat command.[17]
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.[18]
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.[18] – Steven Sharif
Guild benefits
Guild benefits that are being considered by the developers:[19]
- Augmentations d'équipement.[20]
- Passives.[19]
- Questlines.[19]
- Salles de guilde.[19]
- Châteaux de guilde.[19]
- Guild activities.[19]
- Name of guild displayed next to character name.[21]
- Guild tabards.[21]
- Guild mounts.[21]
- Guild coats.[21]
- Guild barding.[21]
Undermounts
The guild leader of a castle can grant the use of flying undermounts (such as wyrmlings) to guild officers during a castle siege.[23][24][25][26]
- These may only be granted if the castle nodes are successfully established prior to the siege.[26]
- Node A grants 1 undermount, Node B grants 2 undermounts, and Node C grants 2 undermounts.[27]
- This system is subject to change during testing.[27]
Little wyrmlings that you can grant to officers if you're a castle owner, and they can fly around too.[24] – Steven Sharif
Guild progression

As you're leveling up the guild and you're getting these points to either allocate towards expanding the guilds member count or allocate towards adding certain passive abilities that your guild members can gain by being guild members. You're also going to see as you're leveling up the guild through different type of quest-based, participation-based, node-based, organization-based systems and ways that those quests hook into the world. You're also going to see perhaps some augment abilities at the upper tiers of the guild levels become unlocked for certain members that have a classification of officer or knight, will have access to those different types of augment abilities that might get unlocked should you go down the non expansive member lane; and the idea there is to offer these benefits to smaller groups.[8] – Steven Sharif
Guild progression occurs through participation in different systems.[8]
Guild progression grants skill points that the guild can allocate to unlock aspects of their skill tree, such as passive skills, augments and membership count.[8][29][30]
- Passive abilities increase certain stats relating to a guild member's ability to perform in combat or in other aspects of the guild, such as the economy.[8]
- Augmentation may apply at the upper tiers of guild progression.[8]
- Guild members do not need to be citizens of the same node in order to benefit from passive skills and augments.[31]
- Guild size can be traded off for guild progression.[8][9]
- The higher the guild's member cap, the fewer available skill options will be available to that guild.[6]
- Guild alliances may be a key part in creating a larger "guild".[9]
- Salles de guilde can be unlocked at a certain stage of guild advancement.[29]
- Guilds cannot respec their skill points once allocated. This is subject to testing.[32]
- 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.[8] – Jeffrey Bard
Augmentations d'équipement
Des améliorations d'équipement (pierres de puissance / runes) peuvent être appliquées aux armes pour ajouter des types de dégâts élémentaires ou énergétiques.[33][34]
- Les améliorations d'équipement n'augmentent pas le niveau requis d'un objet.[35]
Nous allons très probablement avoir un système de runes et ensuite nous aurons la possibilité d'enchanter des armes en dehors de cela aussi... Ce ne sera pas toujours comme une progression verticale... Une partie demandera d’abandonner quelque chose pour obtenir autre chose ; alors peut-être que je fais moins de dégâts physiques mais plus de dégâts magiques, ce genre de chose.[34] – Jeffrey Bard
- La Progression dans divers systèmes JcJ débloquera des pierres d'enchantement qui accordent des avantages temporaires axés sur le PvP à l'équipement (via un système de sertissage).[36] Les performances sont mesurées sur des saisons PvP de six mois.[20] – Steven Sharif
Ce n'est pas comme si vous alliez nécessairement les acquérir une fois et ensuite vous êtes prêt pour vos enchantements PvP, mais au lieu de cela, vous devrez continuellement performer mois après mois afin de continuer à avoir ces enchantements.[36]
Guildes mécènes
Quand une organisation devient la mécène de son Nœud cela veut dire que ses membres ont contribué le plus dans ce nœud.[37]
Les Guildes mécènes débloquent les bénéfices suivants pour leurs membres.[38]
- Des Emblèmes qui peuvent être appliqués aux armures de Guildes qui peuvent être achetés depuis le Nœud.[38]
- Participation à la Bourse dans ce nœud.[38]
- La possibilité de participer à des missions spécifiques de guilde qui permettront la progression et le développement du niveau d'une guilde.[38]
- L'allocation de points de guilde pour débloquer des Compétences spécifiques de nœud pour les membres de la guilde.[38]
- La possibilité de s'approprier un hall de guilde dans un nœud. Il existe différents avantages et bénéfices à place un hall sur un emplacement de propriété privé.[38]
Il n'y a pas de limite au nombre de Guildes qui peuvent se trouver dans un Nœud, mais le nombre de Guildes mécènes à l'intérieur d'un nœud est limité par l'Avancement de Nœud.[39]
- Les Villages et en dessous n'ont pas de guildes mécènes.[39]
- Les Villes peuvent avoir 1 guilde mécène.[39]
- Les Cités peuvent avoir jusqu'à 2 guildes mécènes.[39]
- Les Métropoles peuvent avoir jusqu'à 3 guildes mécènes.[39]
Guild reputation
Guildes may be able to allocate points to increase their reputation with the node that houses their guild hall. This will affect:[40]
- Another thing we were talking about I remember early on with regards to guilds is not just that but also having a reputation score; and being able to allocate points to increase that reputation perhaps with a specific node that you may have your guild hall in; and that reputation will interact with the way that NPCs interact with you. It might interact with the way that quests are given in that particular node or merchant services that are present.[40] – Steven Sharif
Guild alliances
Les leaders de guilde peuvent créer une alliance à un certain niveau en terminant une quête.[41]
- Une fois créée, le leader peut inviter jusqu'à trois autres guildes dans cette alliance.[41]
- Il n'y pas de limite de membres dans une alliance, seulement un maximum de quatre guildes.[41]
- Les leaders de guilde pourront mettre en commun les ressources dans une banque d'alliance de guildes.[42]
- Il y aura des quêtes spécifiques aux alliances.[42][43]
- Les membres d'une alliance partageront un canal de discussion commun.[42][43]
- Les alliances auront des affiliations et pourront obtenir de l'équipement.[42]
- Les guildes pourront conclure des accords commerciaux.[43]
Vous pouvez seulement inviter un certain nombre de guildes dans une alliance avant de devoir former une nouvelle alliance, et ainsi ces alliances peuvent avoir de facto une amitié, mais elles ne seront pas connectées par un composant du jeu. Ce que le système d'alliance permettra, c'est la mise en commun de ressources par les leaders de guildes dans une banque d'alliance de guildes. Ça permettra la participation à différentes quêtes. Ça permettra un espace de discussion commun pour les membres ainsi que les affiliations et l'obtention d'équipement.[42] – Steven Sharif
Nous avons un système spécifique qui consiste à pouvoir inviter une autre guilde dans une alliance, ce qui marque ces personnages pour ce qui concerne la possibilité de les combattre, de partager avec eux un système de discussion, de participer à des types de quêtes spécifiques et/ou des entrepôts d'alliance et des maisons de guilde ; pour une association à des sièges de châteaux et la participation des guerres et des activités de nœuds. Si vous n'êtes pas dans une alliance avec quelqu'un, vous être en quelque sorte neutre. Vous pouvez avoir des accords commerciaux entre différentes guildes et ensuite vous pouvez avoir des guerres de guildes qui indiquent un état de guerre entre vous. Je pense que c'est la base de comment nous allons développer les interactions entre les guildes.[43] – Steven Sharif
Du fait du manque de voyage rapide, les guildes devront prévoir d'avoir des personnes au bon endroit au bon moment. Les alliances avec d'autres guildes aideront à rendre cela possible.[9]
Il y aura des mécaniques en jeu qui pourraient donner des guerres d'alliances pour ainsi dire : une guerre entre guildes et une guerre entre alliances peut-être. Lorsque nous creuserons le sujet des guerres de guildes dans le blog, nous parlerons des alliances.[44] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation aura du contenu original centré sur les alliances.[45]
- Les alliances offriront des chemins de progression en plus.[45]
- Les guildes pourront partager des services entre membres d'une même alliance.[45]
- Les alliances peuvent nouer des relations avec les nodes.[45]
Il y aura du contenu centré sur les alliances spécifiquement et la progression du développement des ces alliances; et la possibilité de partager des services entre guildes d'une même alliance. Je pense qu'il est bénéfique de laisser les alliances nouer des relations avec les nodes. Cela va générer une dynamique intéressante pour les joueurs membres du node et ceux membres de l'alliance. Pour moi, il est certain que constuire des systèmes c'est aussi créer des canaux par lesquels les joueurs pourront créer des liens, et plus il y a de couches autour de ces canaux, plus les relations seront durables.[45] – Steven Sharif
Affiliations
Un arbre d'affiliation, en cours de développement, détermine quelles entités peuvent participer aux attaques contre d'autres entités, au sein de cette hiérarchie.[46]
Il y a affiliation de guilde, une affiliation de partie, une affiliation de raid, une affiliation d'alliance, une affiliation de citoyenneté, une affiliation de société et il y a une affiliation de religion. Tous ces éléments ont une hiérarchie, et dans cette hiérarchie, il y a la possibilité de participer à certains systèmes. Donc par exemple, si vous avez un nœud qui est tombé entre les mains de votre état vassal et vous être citoyen du nœud parent, alors vous pourrez participer au siège contre le nœud vassal, mais si vous êtes citoyen du nœud vassal, vous ne pourrez pas participer en tant qu'attaquant contre le nœud parent; ainsi il y a une hiérarchie, sauf si vous renoncez à votre citoyenneté.[46] – Steven Sharif
Guild housing
The term "guild housing" refers to guild buildings and not guild owned player housing.[47]
Salles de guilde

Guildhalls are the ultimate expression of a guild's power! In Ashes these structures will serve as focal points for a guild, offering any guilds who construct them a whole host of benefits as well as customization options.[49]
Salles de guilde serve as a focal point for a guild, offering a host of benefits and customization options.[49]
- When a guild reaches a certain level, its guild master is granted a certificate to enable placement of a guild hall.[50]
- Guild halls may be placed within Baronies within the ZI of a node.[51]
- A barony can only have a single guild hall.[51]
- The number of baronies that can have an active guild hall is determined by the node's stage.[52][53]
- Only a limited subset of the guild halls available around the node are available concurrently... So you might only have two that might be available at fifth level and then three at sixth level of a node; and the guilds have an opportunity to select from the six available which three are going to be active.[52] – Steven Sharif
- Guildes mécènes may also place their guild hall within (the footprint of) their patron node. These guild halls have different perks and benefits to halls placed within Baronies.[38][50][54][38]
- Patron guild halls placed within Baronies may have the ability to confer benefits to surrounding estates within that node by speccing into passives in their guild skill tree and carrying out a lengthy quest line.[55]
- The design of guild-halls is currently subject to active iteration by the developers.[56]
- Guild halls can only be destroyed by a successful node siege. This contrasts with guild fortresses, which can be sieged in a guild war.[50][57][58]
- Guild halls are objectives in guild wars.[57]
- A guild hall only houses a single guild.[59]
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.[50]
Avantages
Salles de guilde unlock actions a guild can perform within a node.[60]
- Allow guilds to participate in the shareholder system.[60]
Châteaux de guilde

Avec cinq châteaux dans le monde, et chacun ayant été possédé par différentes civilisations dans le lointain passé de Verra, vous pouvez vous attendre à ce que chaque Château ait sa propre identité. Des terrains et des configurations différents feront que chaque Château aura ses propres avantages et désavantages. Le simple fait d'avoir réussi à capturer un Château ne signifiera pas que vos stratégies fonctionneront pour le suivant. Les commandants devront connaître le terrain, prendre en compte le moment du jour, les conditions météorologiques et même les saisons lorsqu'ils établieront leurs plans de bataille.'[61]

Ces Châteaux sont occupés lorsque les joueurs arrivent sur Verra, et leurs habitants actuels devront être délogés avant que n'importe quel joueur puisse le revendiquer. Les châteaux seront des zones de raid dangereuses et de haut niveau jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient dégagées, et le premier group de joueurs à le faire remportera le Château comme récompense.[61]
Cinq châteaux de guilde existent dans Ashes of Creation.[61][62] Ces châteaux seront initialement occupés par un adversaire PNJ. Ce sont les principaux antagonistes dans l'histoire.[63]
- Les guildes ont une période de temps pour monter de niveau afin d'assiéger ces châteaux.
- Ces châteaux seront très difficiles à prendre aux PNJs.
- Les nœuds de château seront absents autour de châteaux de PNJs.
Avantages

It's a reciprocal relationship between the castle and its nodes essentially. There are benefits granted to citizens of the castle; and the longer that the castle remains in the hands of its incumbent guild, the stronger the benefits become overall. But at the same time that represents a greater incentive to attack the castle because the rewards will get greater over time also.[64] – Steven Sharif
Châteaux de guilde provide benefits and trophies for guilds that capture and control them.[64][65]
- These benefits increase the longer a guild holds its castle.[64]
There are levers and dials that are present to both the owners of Castles as well as the elected officials of Nodes that during their administration they have the ability to impact and influence the region around them.[66] – Steven Sharif
Guild castles exert a King or Queen's presence over nodes within their region.[64][66][67]
- Levy taxes for the purposes of defense (additional to taxes already imposed by node governments).[64][67]
- Activate events and abilities that benefit node citizens under their rule.[64][67]
- Establish special relationships with Maires to help build up the three dedicated castle nodes.[64]
- Unlock additional types of buildings in nodes.[67]
- Exert control and pressure over one of the five economic regions.[64]
Forteresses de guilde
Forteresses de guilde are siegable guild halls within Ashes of Creation. These are different from nodes and castles.[58]
- Guild fortresses are objectives in guild wars.[57] These are contested on a regular basis.[50]
- The developers will decide if guild fortresses will be implemented in the game or shelved.[50]
- 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.[50] – Steven Sharif
Siège de Château

Throughout Ashes of Creation, the player has an opportunity to participate in massively multiplayer siege warfare. Since castles are likely the world’s most limited resource, it will be a task to secure and hold them. Involving hundreds of players on a single battlefield, our sieges will employ many moving parts and intricate design features. Because of the difficult nature of taking and keeping a castle there are great rewards available to the players for their efforts. Castles will allow players to exert control over nearby lands and allow for the development of unique buildings in the nearby towns.[69]
Guildes participate in Siège de Château in an effort to capture and occupy one of the five guild castles in Ashes of Creation.[62]
- The minimum goal is for 250x250 players to be on a single battlefield. It is hoped that this can be increased to 500x500 over time.[73][74][75][76]
- There will be systems that mimic some of the mechanics of sieges, but there won't be practice sieges.[77]
- There may be instanced locations within otherwise open-world castle and node sieges, where specific groups can participate in small, short duration objective-based battles that will affect the overall outcome of the siege.[78]
- I love castle-based gameplay. I love trophies. I like rewarding risk a lot; and for me it's very difficult to imagine a MMO that I would want to play where there is not competition of strategic prowess that determines the outcome of these types of events and there is not a meaningful reward both mechanically and from just a bragging rights perspective that players can aim for and try to achieve. I think that it brings a lot to the game when it comes to motivations, to excel, to level, to gain power, to engage those different progression loops when there is an ultimate goal or trophy that is not static and doesn't exist forever once you achieve it, but that you must constantly perform in order to maintain; and that's really the purpose of these castles.[83] – Steven Sharif
A guild that captures a castle will own that castle for a month before it is sieged again.[84][63]
- Each week leading up to the siege week... is a week that's dedicated to one of the three castle dedicated nodes. So around the castle there are three nodes. They represent week, one, two, and three; and then the fourth week is the siege against the castle. Those can only be elevated up to stage three. We've discussed this in the past and there's definitely information out there on the community ran wiki.[84] – Steven Sharif
- In the first three weeks that a guild occupies a castle they will need to level up each of their castle nodes to Village stage through questing.[84][63]
- The fourth week is declaration week, where other guilds have the opportunity to lay down their declaration flag or to sign up as a defender of the castle.[84][63]
- Depending on how well the guild defends their castle nodes results in better defenses for the castle.[63][85]
- Different siege weaponry will grant the attackers the ability to destroy walls, doors and sections of the castle in order to gain access to the inner keep area.[86]
- When castles change hands (following a siege), some taxes stay with the castle and some stay with the guild.[87]
- There will be benefits to attracting people... even if they're not in your guild or alliance – a feudal like system, where you can attract other players who are just independent of this whole politic. They will have things to do there - benefits to receive - and there will be a reciprocal relationship between who you can attract, what they do for you; and how that benefits you and them.[63] – Steven Sharif
Alpha-1 castle sieges
Alpha-1 castle sieges are based on Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[91][82]
- Players will be able to join guilds. These guilds can register for the siege events.[89]
- Castle siege events will be 100v100 battles that occur daily and will last for three hours.[89]
- Attackers will start on the opposite end of the map (from the defenders).[89]
- Attackers will be able to use trebuchets to drive to and assault the castle.[89]
- When the attackers have breached the castle they will be able to channel a cast on the relic in the throne room to try to capture the castle from the defenders.[89]
- The victors of castle sieges will receive benefits, such as cloaks, flying mounts for guild leaders and potentially also for guild officers.[89]
- Alpha-1 castle sieges are in a separate zone that is accessible via a NPC teleporter.[80][81][79]
- Currently the siege zone is actually in the open world, but separated by mountains and off in the sea a bit. There is actually no instancing in A1, although the siege zone will only be accessible in A1 through a registration NPC teleporter.[80] – Steven Sharif
- This zone includes the following raid bosses.[91]
- These bosses will also appear in the open-world (outside the siege zone) with slightly different mechanics.[81]
- The opposing team is notified when these raid bosses are being attacked.[91]
- Teams who get the last hit on these bosses will receive buffs that will help them in the siege battle.[91]
Last year, I spoke of attempting to incorporate sieges into the Alpha One experience. This has obviously been a goal of mine because it provides considerable data and a consistent event within the world that players can participate in to help stress test the deployment. Well, I am happy to say that it is appearing more and more likely by the day! Initial implementation of the Apocalypse siege code has been migrated into the Alpha One client, and we should begin internal testing next month. I will caveat this expectation with the fact that we are cutting it a bit close from an internal QA standpoint, but I have some confidence that the system will be online and capable of inclusion for the Alpha One test in the month of June. The siege component will obviously not be representative of what the siege system will be at launch, or even in Alpha Two.[82] – Steven Sharif
- Destructible structures (such as walls and gates) are present in Alpha-1 castle sieges.[92]
- The ability to repair structures (and siege weapons) is a long term design goal that will not be present during Alpha-1.[92]
Guerres de guilde
Guerres de guilde are objective-based PvP events between guilds.[93][57]
- Guerres de guilde can be declared at any time, but the objectives will only spawn during server prime-time.[94][95]
- Players can kill each other at any time during the war (not only during server prime-time).[94]
- Guild war objectives are intended to dynamically spawn based on various conditions that exist within each guild.[93][96][54][95]
- Guild wars are not permanent. Definitive victory/surrender conditions exist that are based on the level of the warring guilds and the assets that those guilds have.[96][97]
- Guild wars operate outside the PvP flagging system.[98][99][100][101][97]
- Death penalties (mostly) do not apply to objective-based events, such as guild wars.[98][99][100][101]
- Q: How do you plan on keeping wars fresh long term? Typically in other games wars become one dimensional in terms of strategy. Will intrepid be looking at map changes every few years, or will you give guilds / node mayors the ability to customize the layout or objectives of the battlefield?
- A: Our guild wars have objective-based gameplay that spawn in the world based on several different factors and predicates that might exist. Some of those predicates might be where is your guild a patron guild of? Does your guild have a guild hall? What node is your guild leader and/or officers a citizen of? What was your last completed raid boss? All of those can serve as predicates to then spawn a certain objective within the world that players have to either engage with in a number of different manners. Either they can be kill objectives, they can be control objectives, they can be capture and move objectives. They could be a caravan caravan summons that need to take supplies from those objectives. The idea is to incorporate all of these other ancillary systems that exist within the game in some way shape or form- tie it into the guild war, because we've created those systems for a reason. We want players to engage with those systems, so why not hook those systems into the guild war format? And I think that that creates a very dynamic setting where it is not just about killing and logging out, but rather strategy in both your resource placement, how you respond, and when you respond, the composition of your raid/group teams. Those types of things play a role now in the outcome of those guild wars and I think they keep it fresh because it'll be different per war.[93] – Steven Sharif
Guild war objectives
There will be default guild war objectives as well as objectives that dynamically spawn in the world based on the assets guilds own, the activities guilds have participated in, and other conditions.[93][96][57][54]
- If the guild owns a guild hall, objectives might be related to capturing a quest item in or around the guild hall that is only visible to the warring guild. Capturing this objective may require channeling time.[93][54][57]
- If you have a guild hall and a certain type of guild war is declared that is maybe a higher stakes war, some of those objectives will be centralized either at your guild hall, at the opponent's guild hall; could be a progression step towards the guild hall. It might be a specific a period of time that accumulates into into a central battle at the guild hall for an objective.[57] – Steven Sharif
- If the guild has recently completed a raid, objectives might include stealing one of the quest items that the guild received from killing that raid boss.[93][57]
- Objectives may be based on whether a guild is a patron guild of a node.[93]
- Objectives may spawn based on the home node of the guild leader and/or officers.[93]
- Guild wars can be declared at any time, but the objectives will only spawn during server prime-time.[94]
- There may be bounty objectives to kill a particular guild member. The target may have increased damage mitigation and/or health against the warring guild and can call for help.[54]
- Guild war objectives are intended to be more fluid than castle siege objectives.[54]
Guild war mechanics
- Guerres de guilde can be declared at any time, but the objectives will only spawn during server prime-time.[94][95]
- Players can kill each other at any time during the war (not only during server prime-time).[94]
- Guild war objectives are intended to dynamically spawn based on various conditions that exist within each guild.[93][96][54][95]
- Guild wars are not permanent. Definitive victory/surrender conditions exist that are based on the level of the warring guilds and the assets that those guilds have.[96][97]
- Guild wars operate outside the PvP flagging system.[98][99][100][101][97]
- Death penalties (mostly) do not apply to objective-based events, such as guild wars.[98][99][100][101]
Leadership tools
The developers are considering a number of leadership tools for guilds:[103][19][104]
- Recruitment tools.[19][104]
- Management tools.[19][104]
- Delegation tools.[19][104]
- Motivational systems.[19][104]
- Communication tools.[19][104]
- Roster.[19][104]
- Standard guild ranks (such as Guild leader and officers).[106]
- Custom rank names.[106]
- A list of available permissions per rank/role.[106]
- Departments/micro-structures (such as battallions) within the guild structure with an associated leader.[107][106]
- Freehold permissions may be associated with these micro-structures.[107]
- 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.[107] – Steven Sharif
- Audit logs may be available to guild leaders and officers.[108]
- Guild stats.[109]
- Information about guild membership, such as archetype and class makeup will be made available.[109]
- Access to guild stats is subject a permissions structure.[109]
- 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.[105] – Steven Sharif
- Guild management tools are expected to be available at the start of Alpha-2.[103]
Guild emblems
The user interface will allow emblems, logos and symbols to be designed in-game.[111][112][113]
- Q: Do nodes provide their citizens some kind of clothes or ornaments, capes, tabards, or something that they can basically represent their node?
- A: I mean technically the node does have a sigil or insignia and there will be certain armors that you can customize insignia and/or symbols on, so yes you could probably achieve that.[114] – Steven Sharif
- Emblem editor functionality is tentatively planned for Alpha-2.[113]
Guild ladder
An inter-guild ladder will rank guilds based on their performance within competitive activities:[118][119]
When the guild participates in guild wars or they participate in sieges, you'll be able to climb the ranks of your inter-guild ladder as well so you get bragging rights amongst your friends.[119] – Steven Sharif
PvP seasons
Performance in various JcJ systems (such as Caravanes, Arènes, Guerres de guilde) is measured over the course of 6 month PvP seasons. At the end of each season, a player's cumulative score may unlock various rewards.[120][36]
- Gear enhancement rewards.[36]
- Achievement ranks.[36]
- Purchasing power (Monnaie).[36]
Crowdfunding guild rewards
Guild themed character cloaks were cosmetic rewards for backing at the Leader of Men level or higher in the Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding campaigns.[121]
- Guild cloaks will work the same way that accessory appearances from the cosmetic packs work, in that they are applied to the item and take over that appearance. They can not be applied over costumes. [122] – Cody Peterson
Kickstarter/Summer crowdfunding guild rewards[49] are assigned to a guild by the owner of the reward.[123]
- Once assigned, the reward becomes an asset of that guild.[123]
- Guild members that leave the guild no longer have access to the unique items of that guild.[123]
Guild name reservation
Guild name reservation was available in the Braver of worlds and higher backer packages during the Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding campaigns.[124][125]
Marchés boursier
Avec le développement des noeuds, les gouvernements de joueurs peuvent ouvrir une Bourse (aussi appelée Marché boursier et Marché des actions) où les joueurs peuvent acheter et vendre des actions de noeuds, guildes et organisations sociales.[126][127]
- La valeur des actions est influencée par des événements du monde ainsi que par la performance des noeuds, organisations sociales ou guildes.[128]
- Des indicateurs de référence, tels que les quêtes, les ressources proches, la progression des citoyens, et les achats d'immobilier local, détermineront la valeur des actions pouvant être achetées.[127]
- Les sièges stopperont la négociation des actions dans un noeud. Ceci ouvre un potentiel pour le sabotage économique.[126]
- Il n'y a pas de commission de régulation pour restreindre l'achat et la vente d'actions.[128]
