Guilds Guild Rivals! A Competitive Edition To Guilds

The main goal is to increase rewards for friendly rivalries between guilds and will also promote warring activity. How does it work?
When the leader of a guild types out the command...

/guild rival [guild tag]

The other guild's leader will get a notification saying that "[guild tag] is requesting you to be their rival". Following the message a Yes or No prompt will appear in chat. If the other guild's leader declines. The first guild will not be allowed to send a request for the next two hours to avoid spam. If the other guild accepts, they will be asked to confirm their decision with a sign pop-up where they will have to physically type "Yes" to confirm their decision.

NOTE: You can only have a maximum of 3 rival guilds at a time.
Reasoning will be self-explained later


Congratulations! You have made a rival, however what does that mean?
By making a guild your rival, there are multiple consequences to this decision including...

• Income fluctuations: Typically if someone kills a mob in a territory, the guild owning that territory will earn 3x the amount of emeralds dropped by a mob to the guild bank. However if a person kills a mob in a rival guild's territory, the territory's owner will earn 5x the emeralds dropped to the guild bank

• Competitive nature: By being in a rival's territory you are inclined to do better to fight it. All melee attacks and spells are increased by 5% if you are in a rival territory. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT OFFENSIVE POWDER SPECIALS (Quake/Chain Lightning) NOR DOES THIS EFFECT STACK WITH BOOSTING SPECIALS (Curse/Courage/Wind Prison). However this boost does effect you both in-game and in guild wars

• Oppressive: Your focus on taking down your rival closes your mind to the world around you. You will suffer a 5% xp penalty whenever you are in a rival's territory.

Fear not! For you can disband your rivalry at any time by doing /guild rival [guild tag] leave

Hopefully you like this edition and will also bring a more competitive nature to guild wars. Will you hold grind spots to stop your rivals from growing? Will you take advantage of your competitive nature to take down tough enemies at the cost of growing your rival's bank? The choice is up to you.

Provide feedback and suggestions to improve it.

 

This would be nice, my guild absolutely hates ViT for some reason so this would be a nice addition ;P

 

I think you should add the perfectly not game ruining/annoying mechanic that allows rival guild members to fight each other!

 

I like the general idea behind this, but the 20% xp loss kinda ruins it for me. Is this XP loss global, or just for guild xp? If it's global, that'd be really detrimental to the whole experience of many players, depending on what territories are held by enemies.

 

I really debated on putting this idea in and the plan was to make it global xp. The main reason was to make guilds and the actual game merge because guilds at the moment do not benefit players at all except for showing who owns the territory via banner. So I wanted to make effects that would directly effect the player and combined with the fact that these features are optional convinced me to put it in.

However I will consider probably lowering the xp penalty but the vision was to make effects that impact the player in more ways then just in the "guild world"

 

Lowered xp penalty

 

shit man 50/50 I would love to hear some feedback

 

:/ we don’t do anything, why the hate?

 

I honestly have no idea lol
