Guilds Guild Cuts And Currency

Guilds lack any real benefit to players.
When you donate your emeralds or grind for guild xp, you're benefiting your guild, but you don't ever get anything in return, which makes donating to guilds seem somewhat pointless.
That's why guild players should have cuts and income for help contributing and help growing their guild.

Guild Currency

Guild members need to get something a little more special than just emeralds. Players should get something that can only be obtained by being in a guild, something more unique.
Guild members will receive diamonds.

Like emeralds, there are 3 different types of diamonds

Regular diamond
Diamond block
Compact Diamond (Represented by a beacon block)

Note that diamonds cannot be traded between players, so you need to earn them yourself.

Uses

Like gifts in the Christmats event, you can use your diamonds to buy exclusive and special items (ranging 40-100).
You can also convert your diamonds into emeralds at the guild hall. Note that you can't convert emeralds into diamonds.

1 Diamond = 10 emeralds
1 diamond block = 10 emerald blocks
1 compact diamond = 10 liquid emeralds

Earning diamonds

When in a guild, you'll automatically receive diamonds every 20 minutes you're online. You also gain diamonds whenever you participate and win a guild battle. The amount you get is based on what your cut is.

When you first join a guild, you will have a cut of 5 diamonds (50 emeralds). There are ways to increase your cut.

per 500k guild Xp you collect, your cut increases by 2 diamonds (20 emeralds)
Per 2.5k emeralds donated, your cut increases by 3 diamonds (30 emeralds)

Your cut does however have a maximum capacity.
The default capacity is 20 diamonds (3 blocks, 8 emeralds)

There are a couple of ways to increase the capacity

Per 10 guild levels, every member's cut capacity increases by 3 diamonds (30 emeralds)
Per 5 million guild xp collected, your cut capacity increases by 2 diamonds (20 emeralds)
Per 15k emeralds donated, your cut increases by 1 diamond (10 emeralds)

The hard cap of how many diamonds you earn per cut is 80 diamonds (12 blocks and 32 emeralds)
You yourself cannot raise your maximum capacity any higher at this point. The only way to raise the maximum capacity is to level your guild.

Guild territory bonus

Owning territories increases both the cut and capacity of diamonds for every player in the guild.
For every territory owned, all guild members will recieve a bonus of 3 diamonds (30 emeralds). Your maximum capacity will not affect the bonus.

Decay

After 7 days of not contributing at least 100k xp to the guild, your cut will start going down by 1 diamond each day. Every 7 days inactive your maximum capacity will go down by 5 diamonds. The decay timer will reset once you collect 100k guild xp in a week.
You can increase the timer by 1 day per 15k emeralds donated and per 10 million xp contributed. The timer maxes out at 15 days.
This way inactive players who don't contribute to the guild won't have greater benefits than people who actually do contribute to the guild.


Hopefully you liked at least the concept of this idea and hopefully they add something like this in the future.
Let me know what you think.

 

sounds like a great idea in my opinion! I also think they should change the diamond texture, it looks way too bulky in my opinion. +1 support

 

I quite like this idea. The amount of detail makes this a great suggestion. Just to help this thread for its future, I would like to point out any faults that you would like to fix.

First, instead of making new currency, just use emeralds. I like how diamonds can buy exclusive items, however Wynncraft already has many ways of getting items, and I personally don't think it needs more.

Second, instead of every 20 minutes, I think it should be daily as it would get annoying after a while with money being put into your inventory, especially if it's full.

Third, 50 emeralds per territory does nothing for most guilds, and a ton for some guilds. (For example, everyone in HackForums would get an extra 6500 emeralds every 20 minutes just from territories. That is about 1.59 LE.)

Fourth, Getting 10 emeralds every 20 minutes per 15k emeralds donated gives a way to get infinite emeralds. Someone with a lot of money could donate 12 stacks of LE (3,145,728 emeralds) and recieve approximately half an LE every 20 minutes. That may not seem like much, but 1.5 LE every hour builds up very quickly.

Fifth, the Decay definitely balances some aspects of this out, however I would personally change the name of that to not have the same name of the decay in Wynncraft lore.

Though this has a few faults, the idea would be a great addition to Wynncraft. Also, I appreciate the amount of detail in your thread. Thank you for taking the time to read this reply, and thank you for making this wonderful thread!

 

Changelog #1

- Added a hard cap of 300 for how many diamonds gained in 1 cut.
- Additional punishment for inactive players
- Decreased territory bonus from 5 diamonds to 3

 

if they do add this i hope along with that they make that cant leave guild glitch gone also 1+ support

if there is a way to leave a guild if your effected by it please tell me i am i dont know why im typing in this small text but who cares

 

Why it has to be diamonds, the one thing the whole minecraft community is obsessed about...

 

Meanwhile: poor gold here is still a junk item

 

Seems like a pretty solid concept, but I don't really like using diamonds as currency. Imo they should be more like seals or something - maybe an item could re-textured to look like a medal or a wax stamp? Perhaps it could be named along the lines of 'Seal of Loyalty'?

Also, do you have any ideas of what the rewards could actually be used for - are you thinking of just being able to trade them into emeralds or are you planning on adding more unique rewards? I think things such as armor that levels with the guild and can be dyed to fit your guild or 'standards' which could be banners with unique designs that can be deployed to show guild dominance?

 

Bump!!!!!!!!!!!

 

While I do like the idea.
This is way too overpowered. Tone it down.
Also make the hard cap 128 diamonds so you can jsut get two diamond blocks rather than two diamond blocks and 22 diamonds.
Assuming you drop the max cap to 128 because evenness, lets calculate.
128 diamonds per 20 minutes at max.
6.4 diamonds per minute.
This is an emerald block. Per minute.
Lots and lots of people spend lots and lots of time on the server, I'm talking hours.
You could easily make 5 Le a day.
If you're really avid you could make a stack a week.
While for higher level players, this isn't an issue.
But imagine low level players walking around with stacks of Le.

Drop it to maybe, 64 diamonds per hour.
That's only an Le per day for most "Avid" players.

Another possible nerf is dropping the exchange rate to 1 diamond per two emeralds.

 

yo tone the stats down a bit, big guilds are gonna reck this

 

aint nobody got time for that

oh btw whats a cut i personally dont know so yeah

 

I really like this suggestion. +1. Maybe give some item ideas that could be bought?

 

I LOVE CHRISTMATS

 

Made some more balancing changes

 

Yes because I accidentally had /guild xp 100 while doing Aldoreis Secret I, Purple and Blue, and EotS.

 

Guys, could you believe my army leveled up solely on quests?

damn you /guild xp 100, ill never forgive you!

level 10... 'nuff said
