Truly the most valuable contribution.

This looks amazing. I'm so glad you guys decided to go back and work on Gavel instead of just neglecting it in favor of new content, it really needed the update.

is nobody going to talk about colossal rat pet? can you imagine people running around with a squad of colossal rats behind them!?

Ingo · Nov 24, 2020

Really nice update, but there are a few things I'd like to be different...

Just make it 536 so we don't have to level new classes, lvl 100 classes are about as strong as lvl 101-106 classes anyway (2 skill points and 5 hp difference)

I feel like this shouldn't be champion-exclusive.
Maybe add 2 for players without a rank, 3 for VIPs, 4 for VIP+s, 5 for Heros and 6 for Champion or something like that?

Anyway, back to positive feedback: I love the new pets and everything not included in the 2 points above!

"Player Req: 4-6"
"Max Party Lv: 500"

it's the level combined of the 4-6 players not the levels of one person
and it's "max" meaning if you go higher than that you will have to get less people or lower level ones

Wait, he’s real?! That’s right! You, the player, have won a wonderful adventure with Siegfried, the hero of Gavel. I hope it’s everything you dreamed it would be.

I feel like Siegfried is the type of 'hero' who accidentally stumbled upon the dragon at Ahmsord, accidentally managed to somehow kill it- and is extremely terrified of spiders.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't- not that I've asked anyone- but surely the Eye Tree seems like a lovely, attentive neighbor.

ZockerCam · Nov 24, 2020

I really hope that "hollow sirene" comes back in the next update... that quest (ar rather the idea) was something special for me when I went to the Kander Forest. It definitely needs a rework but it should come back imo

Guilds have been massively changed this update. Let's start with the more casual/community aspect of it.

Community & Misc.

- Added a Guild Bank which allows you to share items with other guild members. There are two different banks: one for everyone, and one for the high ranked members. Make sure to trust your guild members if you put high-value items in there.
- Added an easy option to switch guild ownership to other guild members
- Improved the guild creation process
- Added various Guild menus (member list, territory list, compass shortcut)
- Now allow Guild Tags to be 3 or 4 letters long when creating a guild
- Increased the guild creation price to 20 LE (81,920 emeralds)
- Added a new rank between Captain and Chief: Strategist. Strategists can upgrade your guild towers and territory bonuses (we'll talk about that more later)
- Added guild notifications popups (you can disable this with /toggle)
- Added Guild Badges which allow you to set a theme for your guild (ex. Traders, War Hungry, Social, etc)
- Improved the guild level up message
- Fixed a bug where guilds wouldn't level up until you joined a new world
- Reduced level XP requirements (we still suspect levelling might take too long right now, let us know how much effort it takes to level your guild up during beta)
- Improved the level up rewards

Wars

Starting a war will no longer spawn hundreds of mobs to fight. Instead, you will be transported into an arena with a tower in the center. This tower is called the "Guild Tower" and act like a boss you must defeat. The defending guild can buff this tower with various resources and add special abilities. However it is not a one-time purchase, you must continuously pay to keep your defences up.

You can see your Guild Tower stats and hourly cost in the guild menu
Guild Trading Routes

You get resources by simply holding territories. There are 5 types:
- Emeralds (generated on every territory)
- Wood (mostly found in forest territories)
- Fishes (mostly found in the ocean)
- Ores (mostly found in Gavel)
- Crops (mostly found in Wynn)

After capturing territories, you will have the option to make it a Headquarters Territory. Every 2 minutes, the excess resources each territory gathers will start moving towards your Guild Headquarters one territory at a time. At the same time, your Headquarters will also start sending resources out to your entire empire to feed the needed resources. You can think of your HQ a bit like your empire's heart.

Here's a small section of the connected territories I used when working on this feature (using the wynndata map)

Lines show how territories are connected together. This is what resources uses when moving from territory to territory
When holding a territory, you can improve it (at an hourly cost) in many ways. Here's a few of them:

As said previously, these buffs are paid for when your Headquarters sends resources out. It is a continuous stream but may take a few minutes to arrive depending on how far away the territory is.

You can also manage a few other things on each territory. For example, you can set a specific tax rate other guilds have to pay when crossing your territory in their trade route, or decide how you want your resources to move (cheapest or fastest).

This might look a bit overwhelming at first, but the system is designed to do a lot of things by itself. For example, if a guild decides to increase their tax rate to an enormous amount midway through a trading route you were using, your trading route will automatically update and avoid it to find a cheaper alternative (assuming you set the style to "Cheapest").

Diplomacy

There might be times where your empire is too far away from important resources to get them yourself. In this case, you can also ally yourself with other guilds. When allied, you can send hourly tributes or gifts to each other to make up for missing resources. But be careful, resources you exchange with allies will also need to move through each territory and get taxed. An enemy guild could cut off your trading routes by closing their borders.

Other war-related changes:

- Wars are no longer done on separate servers. Instead, starting a war will bring you and your group to a regular WC server with enough slots.
- Territories no longer generate XP
- Added a Territory Map by pressing L (or opening the advancement menu)
- Added a Guild Icon feature for VIP+ which shows up on the Territory Map
- Attacking a territory will cost emeralds (you can use your personal emeralds or your guild emeralds)
- Fixed territories name (llevigar/olux territories east-west being switched, efilim being misspelt)

Conclusion

Optimizing and managing your empire's economy is essential for success. With this new system, you can achieve this in many different ways: growing your empire diplomatically, making important allies or going to war and stealing other guild's resources. Being at war with other guilds is also not as straight-forward as it used to be. You can play it safe and try to starve an enemy by cutting through their empire, stealing their important territories or breaking their alliances.

All guilds will keep their level, XP, members and emeralds. Your contributed emeralds will automatically get moved to your Headquarters Territory once you set one up for the first time (make sure to defend it properly). The only thing that will have to get reset is territory ownership. We've tried to keep as much as we could but unfortunately, the system is too different in relation to territories. We hope you understand.

We're really excited to see you guys try this new system, but there will surely be some growing pain at first. We're hoping this will allow large guilds to have a stable hold of some territories without needing to play 24/7 to defend it, and also give a chance for newcomers to get started without getting instantly destroyed by a guild with 80 territories. But in the end, there's only so many territories, not every guild can shine at once.

Make sure to give us your feedback once you've tried it and you understand the system well. We're suspecting the first major problem we'll find will be unbreakable alliances. It'll depend on how easy it is to break those alliances and how greedy allies will be. Keep us in the loop! We can't read your private DMs and figure it out ourselves.

Will smaller guilds still be useless as now?

Funny fact, one of them used to be "Sell Mythic to Blacksmith" but apparently not everyone owns a Mythic? Weird.
