Guilds Change Chat Prefixes. [pog 27 Supporters]

Now, with 1.20 coming out, there's now a total of 6 ranks, recruit, recruiter, captain, strategist, chief, and owner. I think that instead of adding like 10 stars, here are a few better ideas:

A: Use characters to symbolize ranks
On the stats page, there are symbols like ♖, ♕, and so on. Those could be used to symbolize ranks.
Pros: Small, doesn't take up too much chat space and is nice.
Cons: Hard to tell which rank is higher

B: Use small and big stars in tandem
Instead of using a bunch of small stars, it would go <none>, ⭒, ⭒⭒, ✩, ✩✩, ♔✩✩
Pros: Looks much batter than the current system
Cons: Could get messy and make guild chat look weird

C: Keep the stars, but let guilds set their own prefixes
This one is pretty straight forward, a command would allow guild leaders to paste in their own prefixes. Could be useful to guilds with custom ranks, or simply don't like the star spam.
Pros: Helps guild leaders and such
Cons: Probably a pain to implement, and I don't think enough people will use it to make it worthwhile

This is a copy of my post from here, which I realized was in the wrong place and I have no idea how to mode it

 

Yeah totally agree. Im for option A since i dont think it would be hard to implement and overall just looks the best

 

Can you add an option to select multiple options on the poll?
I think all of them are good, don't really care which one but the current is pretty trash.

 

done!

 

so I just relized if I do x+ supporters, do I add everything up or-

 

Add them all up.

 

vote 3 times and I get 3 votes

 

Oh, well.
Whatever makes you look the best I guess :)

 

done lol

BUMP!!!

 

tooppppppppppppppppppppppppp

 

Totally agree that there's a problem, I don't even know what the stars mean now so I love this. I also really like the symbols you used, kinda vibing with the chess motif so I thought it might be cool if the 6 ranks aligned with the 6 chess pieces;

♙ - Pawn, Recruit
♘ - Knight, Recruiter
♗ - Bishop, Captain (or strategist)
♖ - Rook, Strategist (or captain)
♕ - Queen, Chief
♔ - King, Owner (Obviously)

*Bishop and knight are both worth 3 but bishop is often seen as more valuable so it's higher in my example, could go either way though

Not too sure which order strategist and captain would go in so I went with what you had listed but I think the idea is there.

As far as option B and C are concerned, I don't really love the fact that it would require learning what the stars mean and having no uniform pattern kind of defeats the whole purpose. I'm all for customization where it makes sense, but I just don't think this is the place for it. That said, I do think it would be good if there was real support for custom ranks so it might be cool if there was a way to add something else, maybe another symbol while still keeping the base symbol, that way most people know how high ranking you are in a guild since they can see the universal symbol but there's still some freedom. Maybe using the symbol followed by a dash and a custom symbol could work, for example a special recruiter rank called the bard could look like this; [♘-♫] or if you want to divide your entire guild into professions you could use the four prof symbols or something. I think there's lots of potential with this while still keeping the label short so if there's going to be some customization this is what I would want to see..

Obviously custom symbols would need to be imported to make it look nice and visually consistent, but that's fairly easy to do, especially with a 32x texture.

 

btw the stats page alr has them... check out my guild: https://wynncraft.com/stats/player/Sg_Voltage

personnally B is actually my fav. bassiclly set smol star = 1pt and big star = 2pts, and all em all up.thats also the current system used by the guilds when you talk in chat.

This is defo my least favorite, but if a ton of people rly liked it, it may be worth doing. Could require a guild chat recode tho

 

I had no idea about the chess thing but I think it's great so I guess I'm still for option A cause I like the idea that guilds and chess are both games of war.

I'm not a huge fan of having customization either which is why I saved it for last, I think it could be cool since a lot of guilds do custom rank but I think the confusion it would cause just isn't worth it.

For the stars, the only reason why I don't like it is because I don't really like how it is now. That said, the big and little star solution is by far the most realistic so I would be happy to see it added.

 

buuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmpppppppppppppppp
