Guild Expedition - Feedback

[Ylisaveta]

The entire amount for the whole guild has to be paid before level 2 (and then 3) are unlocked for anyone, you cannot pay by age or member. It's from 2 to 6 goods per person, for the second level, of goods from the previous age: so your Obs/Atom/Arc will not pay for your contribution. The third level is doubled. Not necessarily a problem with an active guild, but it's all about participation.

6 total goods for each member or 6 of each from the previous age totaling 30 for each member? Does it show the specific cost in the star menu? Can level 2 be unlocked immediately at the start of the week or does at least one member have to complete level one...how does that work?

6 of each, so 30 (though the amount matters on the age). It does show the specific cost, and can be unlocked immediately at the start of the week

Question: Will my strength in fighting be based upon guild or my own bonuses in Attack / Defend ?

It will be your own bonuses.

This sounds interesting. I mainly did not want to participate in the Pvp aspect ( i.e. Raiding people). I'm also trying to mostly negotiate on the world map but I do some npc battles and I have troops for defence. Anyway I'm curious about this on the Moble app ( I play this on my iPhone ). I discovered that there is no guild map on here and I thought this expidition thing will be accessible through there. That there would be an icon at the lower right for. Moble users. But I can't find anything. Is that because it hasn't started yet? Will the icon be on the main screen or in the guild map area? If it's in the guild map area then will the guild v guild map be now available on the phone ? Even though I don't do GvG I would like to see how my guild is doing.

A note I'm a " farmer" and I donate (1/3) of my boosted goods to the guild. I don't think it's a requirement in mine, but I feel that all guild members should support the guild. So the farmers support the fighters who then gain points ( or whatever ) for the overall help of the guild. Anyway with this new system almost anyone should be able to participate as it will ( my understanding ) be against npc. ( of course there are some who won't want to fight at all Which means I agree about having puzzles or other non combat routes )

Btw question. If you lose a unit in this new game is it really lost like when you battle for provinces or is it healed / restored at the end like on Defense? Thanks.

Yes, it works on moblie No, you lose that troop forever

So is there any plan to have GvG on mobile or is this the alternative?

 

[DeletedUser23246]

Is there a limit to the number of guild members that can participate in each weekly GE?
Is there a minimum number required?

I'm still not clear about payment to unlock 2&3 levels. Assume age cost is 0,2,4 goods per member, GE levels 1,2,3

1). Guild has 50 members in world. So cost is zero +( 50*2=) 100 + (50*4=) 200, total 300 goods

2). 10 members play GE, start on day 1. Cost is zero + 20 + 40, total 60 goods for 10 GE players.
What happens if 5 more players want to join, and now GE is on level 3. In scenario 2). do more goods need to be paid before they can join GE in progress?

To unlock level 2 and/or level 3, you must first pay based on ALL the members of your guild (not just those participating). The goods cost is calculated based on the Ages of each member, and then totaled up. So, your guilds cost will depend on how many members you have, and which ages they are in.

This is the part I'm wondering. Good or Bad mates. But, not all want to play GE. Are, you still able to unlock the level. As Founder, I got some good mates, but might not have the resources to follow through.

 

[DeletedUser7289]

shrek, I'm honestly going to have to wait and see if it's worthwhile for my guild. We have 70 members (27 of whom are FE), so our cost is going to be quite high. I'll have to see what our participation level is and our reward total is before I decide how much to unlock for the guild.
I started to calculate the costs, but it got too complex for my "non-accountant" mind. So we're just going to see how it goes.

 

[DeletedUser23123]

Pygalgia. Your right about that. That where I'm at. Got a guild started just a week ago with vets players that got tired of dramas and weak Founders. The Guild Treasury is basically considered empty. A Co-Founder is all excited about it. She plays it in Beta. She'll be our guide in Live. Hope I don't have to tell her any bad news.

I'm slightly concerned about starting from the main menu page. I play in several worlds. Will there be a GE for each of my worlds, as the cities are at different levels, or will I be playing for all worlds at once, and if that's so, will it be at the highest cities level, or the lowest, and how will those rewards be disbursed throughout all the worlds?

It will be 'world by world' and guild by guild. The only reward that will cross between worlds would be diamonds.

Please let us know your thoughts on Guild Expedition!

my big concern is the guild leaders unlocking the other levels.. I have read the postings here and in some guilds the lower age players are ignored because they do not have proper military support, GBs. certain units, and some Guild leaders leave permantly and there is no one to take their place that has the same authority.. also.. military battles.. I would not want some one from Tomarow to battle with EMA style troops.

 

[DeletedUser10415]

It would be potentially catastrophic if just anyone could unlock the other levels. It needs to be leaders only. If you're in a guild with untrustworthy leaders, my suggestion would be to find another guild.

and such players will be quickly escorted towards the door.

While you escort them to the door those guilds that are active in GvG will welcome them with open arms. Finding fighters is always the real test. If this helps them to discover they like the fighting it's a Win Win for us.

Just to answer this portion (if I'm understanding the question correctly), costs and rewards are final once the Guild Expedition (week) starts. If any new members join in the middle of the week, they canNOT participate in the Guild Expedition until the next week. Likewise, if a player reaches a new age in the middle of the week, their units/rewards/costs will NOT change until the next week.
