Guild Benefits

So, we have any information about how guilds will work for the players?
What we can wait for? Leveling guilds? A secret base to the guildies? Exclusive buffs and skills? A periodic huge server guild battle?

I can say we know about much as crafting as we do guilds.
And you call yourself "Truthseeker"????
For God, go send your ninja sect to investigate this!
We know nothing on Guilds (and Crafting) except we know crafting is in game. Guilds are currently on the wish-list. Now you know what we all do.
Truthseeker doesn't actually means truthteller.

secret: I am being forced to write this by ninjas on keyboard.
Guilds and crafting have not been discussed yet. Many of the features may not yet be finalized as closed beta hasn't yet been announced. Once the beta starts, the features most likely would be final unless the community suggests popular changes. Until then all must practice patience.
*The ninja's disappears with smoke bombs*
*whispers* The cake is a lie...
Seen as guilds work differently (some have a place to meet up and storage, some have buffs, ect.) in each MMORPG, I am guessing you mean it will be different in NWO as well?
Bah "Guilds are currently on the wish-list." so sad....it's also worrisome as the implications could be meh.

I fully expect that guilds in Neverwinter Online will be very similar to...

i really don't like the other cryptic games i find them kinda crappy clones
I am not trying to flame here at all, but I think anyone expecting a game that is completely unlike other Cryptic games will likely be disappointed. I could be wrong this is my opinion based on an educated guess, but I still think that Cryptic holds a very specific design philosophy that NW winter appears to follow as well.
There wont be raids in nevewinter (at least at launch) so guilds can play a diferent role from what we used to have in WoW, DDO, STWOR, etc... Maybe we can get the old Ultima Online feeling of guilds on OSI servers
Maybe for once after the last 5-6 years we will have somethings new to an MMO and not only about guilds... As for me, im rly expecting neverwinter will fill my desire
What you say is a strong possibility but keep in mind PW now owns cryptic and as such may have a word on what "they" feel is good in a mmo, at least that my hope as I prefer the PW approach to some things over cryptics
I more or less agree, and i really wanted to love STO too
Neverwinter Thieves Guild
However in WoW at least some raid leaders did abuse the system but if you werent on for every raid at an acceptable time then I don't care what bull**** excuse you have you should not get loot priority over someone who is more reliable. REAL LIFE WORKS THE SAME WAY and if you prioritize real life over a game (which most of us do) then accept the fact that that is your priority and let it go.
If they are going to give benefits make them more social or cosmetic any time you build in exclusivity to something as simple as being part of the guild you are diminishing the overall community.
Being part of a awesome guild is it's own reward.
My opinion of guilds is no different than raids. They have their place and bring a lot of enjoyment to the game.
However the encouragements to join a guild should have a minimal effect on those players which choose not to be in a guild.
Guilds should be rewarded but the benefits shouldn't compromise the enjoyment of those who do not enjoy being in a guild. It's a narrow slope which few games balance well.
While it's a nice concept to reward guilds, developers and guild members should always remember that any rewards implemented are no more than punishments to any players not in guilds.
And my opinion only dictates that any player's enjoyment with the game shouldn't rely on their enjoyment of guild atmospheres.
I like the notion of tackling a dungeon that requires a group effort with rewards equal to the challenge presented. I like the team work and the satisfaction of seeing all the pieces come together to achieve the impossible.
I loath gear checks and holier than thou attitudes.
I haven't been a member of a guild in a long time. Having played WOW, STO, SWTOR, GW2 most recently, none of them had guilds that appealed to me and the mechanics of the game didn't require me to join one. I could do most game content either solo or with Pugs.
I do want to join a rich guild, filled with members of a like mind, that want to enhance their game play through the friendships that can develop in a guild. Time alone will tell if I am able to locate a guild like that when this game is released. I am looking forward to it.
My Best,
Ezra Steel
With so many factions in neverwinter campaign guide this could make this very interesting and for the PVP side of it as well i feel, i just hope devs can utilise that for there system, as im concoctoing some ideas, wether its implementable well thats another thing.
Most people play games to have fun. Guilds can offer a gamer a whole 'nother layer of fun and entertainment. Logging into the game knowing there will be guildies that are ready and willing to shoot the breeze and/or go adventuring harks back to the earliest days of Dungeons & Dragons. If you are fortunate enough to find a guild of like minded players, headed by a guild leader and officers that actually care about their guildies, and are well organized and active, great times are almost guaranteed every day and night. A small or medium sized guild that shares information can do what larger more established guilds can do (such as that really hard quest or raid that you dont know how to do) by utilizing teamwork and sharing knowledge.
I agree with some others here that state guilds should not get a big advantage over those that do not choose to join a guild. Throw em a bone if you must, but dont make it so shiny that people want it so bad that they are willing to say/do anything just to be in a guild.
Guild cons:
Would you believe the biggest, yet least recognized con I think I've ever heard about joining a guild is this: "I couldn't find a good guild". Its true if you think about it. Most people that say they have had only bad experiences in guilds are saying in essence, "I havent found a good one yet." And its not easy. Imagine ensuring you've found the best guild to join if your favorite game was Guild Wars 2. The myriad of possibilities are nearly endless.
Cons besides trying to find a guild that will enhance your play experiences? "A Boys Club" (the guild leader and his/her buddies play, you are left holding your weapon every night, like you dont exist), ego, greed, in-fighting, various drama.
The best advice I think I can give to a guild leader is this. Talk with all your guildies and Run with all your guildies.
Take the role of guild leader seriously or just don't do it. If you dont give a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> about your guildies, dont expect a cohesive guild. Expect headaches every day.
Pick a theme. Promote it. Be about it. Be organized. There is no "I" in leader. Have fun! Chances are, that's the most important thing your guildies will never ask you for.

i think your concern may not be wrong as dnd or nverwinter should be an open world concept being adventurers you live where you travel
yah guilds is inevitable but pls do not make guilds benefits into some game changing effects like bonus damage in pvp or pve thus forcing ppl to MUST join a guild
while you can have guilds benefits maybe constrain them to guilds v guilds scenario or cosmetic adds on imo
this is nice ,a good read
yah forming guilds actually need real commitment effort and time
its not easy due to real life events happening
and most guilds aint interactive enough mainly just an easy way to group up for raids etc
as this is nverwinter/dnd lore community is so important
hence guilds out there must do more compare to guilds in other mmo wheres guild is just so shallow imho
Guild were basically the same what we have "clubs" now. They had influence. SO for example, say merchant guild. You would have to give a very small fee to the guild every month or so in return, if anyone steals your goods, any merchant dupes or cheats you etc., the guild would go and take care of it. If you run away with someone's else money, the guild will hunt you down as it had presence in every town.
In short, guilds were your bank, your insurance policies, your police etc. when you are outside of your hometown (as when you are in foreign city, your can be denied your rights due to influence in old times) but having guild ensures that you are treated fairly everywhere.
Hence you have an upper hand in bargaining, reporting theft, taking loans and stuff.
Adventure guilds similarly should be able to negotiate more for your jobs getting you more money. However the guilds also should take fees for the upkeep. Hence a person doing 7 jobs a week may be in loss if he is benefiting 1 gold per job from bargain but giving 10 gold per week as a fee. 7gold-10gold=loss of 3 gold.
But a person doing 30 jobs a week will profit immensely : 30gold-10gold=20gold profit
The guild system in game should take an example from that.
