What level is your guild's Stronghold?

I'm trying to get a better grasp of what level people's strongholds are, so maybe the devs can see. If you vote, please also comment with your guild name so that if people are in the same guild, they don't mess the results up too much. If you are currently building up to the next rank, put the rank that you are building too (and mention it in the comments, please).

    Its hopless small guilds fathers/mothers are abadoned from this content.
    Everything it too much .
    I hope one day Devs see this as a problem and rethink they option about smal guilds.

    24/k AD daly limit wat we cannot achive all day long (the pvp&pve gear is unachivable too) for small guilds .
    Whit a 3 k char 1 zone req minimum 20min to complite with a 140% mount .
    And you need to do all of them if you live in a small guild .
    Dead ring /sharandar / IWD (it req more around 40-45 min)/WOD + daly dragons req min 60 min or around 120 min matter of luck. Total 140-205 min .
    And you even not had time to grind for the maximum AD .

    Its total poitless to have another work place at home .
    I am sick from SH this is the first time i dont even bother to buy anything cuz i cannot acces those 140 Ilvl gear BTW they look amazing .

    The another flaw is i see ppl with 20k crit and 30 power and i know they have at least 12-13 SH boons.

    This is what we need to achive with a few ppl i dont know how they think we can do this .,

    Lords of Light, a very hard-won rank 4, and facing a whoooooole lot of grind to level up our production structures that we don't really particularly need higher than rank 1 (because we already can't use more resources than they produce) except for the fact that Stronghold upgrade rules sez we have to before we're allowed to have a higher ranked Guild Hall. And we have to do that before we're allowed to think about making a boon structure.

    Hm, interesting poll...or at least it would be if asterdahl (Cryptic Developer) hadn't already made this statement in the Developer Blog: Masterwork Professions thread in the Developer Corner - News and Announcements (PC) area of the forums:

    "We have numbers on exactly how many strongholds are at any given rank, as well as what structures guilds are building and what rank those structures are at. I mentioned it a little in a previous post, but adjustments were made to the ranks for masterwork recipes as well as stronghold artifact weapons based on these numbers."

    forum.arcgames.com/neverwinter/discussion/1207715/developer-blog-masterwork-professions

    So the Devs already know what level all of the strongholds are at. They may not be aware of how players feel about the situation but they do appear to know the numbers.

    Its clearly a concept that was brought from STO. Its not going to go away.. the best we can hope for is some costing reductions. I dont mind sh, I think they over conceptualized the grind level.. WE do want to do other things in game please.

    I remember reading one of the recent dev posts and how they're lauding "this is available at SH level 9, which will make it easier for small guilds to advance their structures" and thinking "do they even realize what the proportion of people with a SH even close to rank 9 is?" And then laughing my HAMSTER off, because no, they probably didn't, and I was silly to ask such an obvious question. The current poll values are actually higher than I would have expected, though, if I'm being honest, not that it's a particularly meaningful sample size right now. Still, right now less than 30% of respondents are in guilds that could use this new plot that's coming, and that doesn't really sound like it's something that'll help the little guy.

    Of course, even that is less important than what I recall the new plots being useful for: more resource storage or more resource plots. In my experience so far the wood/food/metal/etc. things are the least scarce building resource there is by a mind-bogglingly, hugely vast margin. Except possibly AD, but my guild is doing okay on that right now. It's always the surplus equipment and gems that bottleneck development. Give me a plot that gives us a bunch of that and I'll think you're helping us out. Give me another lumber yard and I will laugh at you.

    Noble misfits are on lvl 4, but nearly ready to upgrade to level 5.

    We are a small guild in term of players online (5-7 on average, peaks of 12-13).
    At the same time, we are also a guild that is constantly full (not a critique, it is our choice to not expel ppl until we don't have to make space for new guild requests).

    I'm not in a guild.
    Unguilded and proud. Strongholds holds zero interest for me.

    Its far to easy for any effort or contributions made to removed by a simple click of a button. I have no desire for my limited time and source of entertainment to either be rendered null, or become a new way to be judged by others.

    I am content to wait, in time, eventually even casual guilds will max out. Assuming I can still find a reason to be around here at that point. I might join a guild then, if for no other reason then to get the perks and boons.

    Almost at level 3, but the influence grind is literally killing off interest in the game (members dropping to play other things).

    Confraternita Oscura - Dark Brotherhood (Italy)
    Just reached level 5.
    We're a small guild with 20-25 active players as a peak. Some of them are leveling up their toons and we're not requesting them to contribute a lot. We prefer to have better IL players than poor ants working on the SH. We expect to see the result on the medium term.
    Btw, we're in best-effort mode: we do what we can, but we're not giving SH the top priority. Our guildmates are happy because they can play the way they want without being obliged to contribute constantly to the SH.
    The drawback is that we're slow, but we're full aware of this.
    Concerning the new masterwork professions...well...probably none of us will live enough to see them as none of us is interested in the explorer's guild. :# >:)

    THC (Holy Crusaders) should hit 12 in around 3 days, TUC (Unholy Crusaders) should hit 11 at around the same time. While SH is a refreshing change to guild structures and how they function, I think it's completely wrong to make something like SH weapons dependant on handful of guilds (ours included) that are supposed to provide for the entire server and make profit out of the tiny guild's misery.
