MY guess (since no one knows the reason) is they wanted to not go over level 100 for some programming reason? So they reshuffled it all down to restart level 100 at 65. giving extra goodies to quiet the rabble?
The announcement is pretty clear that GvG will be dismantled during the day on the 18th, which means that logically the last recalc is on the 17th. The announcement also clearly gives the advice to release any sectors after the last recalc. You can only do that if the last recalc is on the 17th.
But guilds have already earned way more than enough GPPs to be well over level 100's amount. If you were around and paying attention, when they raised the max level from 75 to 100 they gave guilds credit for GPPs earned over level 75. My question isn't about reasons for reducing guild level, it's about decreasing a game resource that has never been subject to reduction before.
Obviously it wasn't that clear, because support had no idea.
Whatever, dude. I couldn't care less, because I won't be bothering with it this last week.
Couldn't even bother with a response that people could read? Not clicking on your link either lol
Reread the "official" version of the announcement. It states that "Guild Power will naturally decrease", and that is a completely separate item in the announcement from the items about guild levels and rewards. It looks like they are taking away the Guild Power Points that guilds got from GvG. Maybe that's not what they actually mean, but logically that's the way it reads. Since they're deleting Prestige altogether along with Support Pool, I don't know what else that phrase could mean. Give me another meaning that doesn't involve guild levels or level rewards (both of which are addressed in separate items in the announcement), please.
Guild power is what levels your guild, and GvG can provide a large amount of that. However, when they remove GvG, you no longer have that source of guild power, so your daily power intake has decreased.
It's not a link, it's an in-line spoiler. You click and it reveals.
I completely understand what guild power is and what it does. What I don't understand about what the announcement says is how it can decrease. I think you're probably right that they meant that the ability to earn guild power will decrease. That makes some sense, at least. And no, it was not phrased clearly at all.
Apparently the "course of the day" was first thing this morning, because access has already been disabled, and it's only 5:30 AM CDT. All of my cities also already have the Last Province special building.
LOL That was seven days ago, why are you still on that?
He was talking about March 18 and how the "course of the day" translated to immediately in reality though.
Maybe. However, recalcs/resets/event timers and other game time functions are server-specific and not based on their working day, so I doubt that this would be the exception.
