A few guild improvement ideas

Godzilla · 01-09-2012

The guild system in graal is practically perfect. It's one of the best updates in graal history of not the best. But there are still some improvements that could be made to it:

Guild News
The amount of space we have to post our guild news is very small. I suggest we keep that little area which everyone can see to type a little message, but then make a "news" button which only member can see. Here people given the right can post news updates, with a date, and a nice long message. You can see past news, etc. it's basically just like the regular iclassic news except for your guild. You could even make something when you log on like the news update where it says "guild news has been updated".

Default rank
The default apprentice rank is incredibly annoying. My idea is to make the guild leader be able to set the default rank to whatever they want it to be, so they don't have to go into every recruit and delete the apprentice and add whatever rank it is. It's already there!

Ally settings
Allows the leader of each guild to change their ally setting for each respective guild to make it so they can guild spar with the allied guild on the same team, turn off guild chat with allies if you want to, etc. when a guild member presses view allies there's a view alliance button which tells you what the settings are.

Guild chat
Members given the right by the leader can set a limit to how short a guild chat message can be, such as no less than 5 charecters, and they can also mute players from guild chat. This allows them to cut down on guild chat spam which is incredibly annoying.

Guild announcement
Allows members given the right by the leader to make guild announcements which appear as a black message icon, and says announcement at the top. This will make the important messages stand out from the guild chatter more.

Guild houses
Just a small number by the house symbol for this who have their guild houses open telling you how many people are there.

Easier ranking up
In the beginning of the guild the leader can set ranks. Then, when it's time to rank up or rank down someone, all they have to do is press either an up or down arrow on their profile. They can also still make custom ranks. The leader can also set powers for each rank. So let's say you just went to a high rank, you immediately get recruit powers iPod going there.

Member statistics
Now when going through member profiles the leader will see their guild statistics as well. How much time they've spent in towers, how much time they've spent on tag, how many guild spars theyve won, etc. allows leaders to view how much each member has helped the guild.

Tell me what you think & add on!

I love the member statistics part by far the most it would help alot in decidint guild hats and wether you should keep that member around, also the default rank but the ally settings aren't very balance cus allies are meant to be excluded from healing flags and spawning in flag room that's why they're allies it would just allow guilds to become a huge power house with 125 members being able to heal flag.

Yeah I see what your saying. That would make huge amounts of people defending a tower at once.

Like always....I totally agree with you ._. Love statistics idea.

Higbey · 01-11-2012

This would require a lot of scripting, unfortunatly last I heard Twinny was really busy so I don't think he could script these anytime soon

Rufus · 01-11-2012

I like all of these ideas, though I don't think the chat/announcements features are really needed. It would take a lot to get this done though, it's a rather huge project.

Yeah of them all those are the least important to me, but would still be very helpful. I mean, when you have a ton of members talking it gets annoying so it's nice to be able to control it so it doesn't get out of control, and be able to make your message stand out more.

And yeah it would take a while to do, but I think it would really complete the guild system. Thanks for the support

The Member Statistics would be near impossible to implement, but everything else is a fantastic idea.

Or the guild news could have the ability to be scrolled so you could post more while still keeping a small layout.

Well, I wanna have the old news to make a public message, but guilds should be able to make private news, which can be scrolled through and stuff. I mean, it's just more organized, and easier to know when it's changed.

I did'nt really read any of this but I have a guild idea. Sort of like Rufus said about accomplishments for players, but instead of players... I was thinking guilds. There could be an 'Accomplishments" Button, you click on it and it shows the guilds accomplishments... for example: Won 50 rounds in guild spar! and 1000 tower hours! See what I mean?

D-Vader · 01-14-2012

Love the ideas. Would help guild leaders everywhere tons.

Kyro122 · 01-14-2012

I would love to have almost all of these implemented. except maybe the 5 character limit. What if you need to say something short like "K"?

Well this would be set by the leader. For big family guilds it might help. Something short like K doesn't need to be guild chatted really.

Very good ideas, I hope someone works on them.
