Guild Improvements ~~ PLEASE

IF YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO READ IT ALL, SKIP TO THE NEXT RED LINE!
Oh my GOD, do I love this game! Just quit a few other MMO's just so I could dedicate my efforts to this awesome one. I was in no way disappointed with anything -- The races, the classes, the training, the movement, the graphics, the controls, the customization, the economy (On Heaven's Tear at least), the quests, the environments, the -- OH you get the point!! Every game I play, I make my guild Lawlocaust, I've been making that guild on games for about 4 years now and I always invite all my friends. It's always the first thing I aim to do in a new game, so I can organize my friends and make chatting far easier. Earlier this day I finally reached level 20, and had plenty more than 100k to spare. I made my way to Archosaur and immediately purchased my guild. My FIRST disappoint was to find out that Lawlocaust, which is ten letters, is one letter too long for this particular game. Nine letter cap? I was dumbfounded, BUT alas I was more than capable to compensate. Admittedly, it is the first game I've ever played that I've had to shorten the guild name, but me and my friends have often referred to it as Lawlo for short, and so that is the name I chose. Right! Problem adverted!
Only to be met with many disappointments once entering the guild screen. First thing I noticed was the lack of controls. There was invite, boot, promote, and demote and that was pretty much it. Alas, this wasn't the first game I've played where guildmasters were practically a power member, so this again was not too much of a downer. Next, I noticed that the guild motto section had scroll buttons on the far right. Well, this led me to assume I would be able to put in a short intro for new members or something. When I went to change it, I saw not a cap of 500 characters. Not a cap of 250 characters. I saw a cap of 50. *Sigh* Again, not a problem. Instead of writing an intro for our new members, I was simply going to post our literal motto, we've been saying it in our guild for four years -- "We put the laugh in slaughter!" -- (At this point of the post, I'd like to point out to most of the readers who are probably offended by both my guild name and motto that A holocaust ((not THE Holocaust)) is any great destruction through the use of fire) but when I finished typing it in, it told me it could not be changed because of unacceptable characters. I figured it was the exclaimatory mark, so I wrote it out again without one. But it wouldn't accept it again. As it turns out, SPACES are unacceptable characters. I can't even put spaces in my guild motto?
THIS IS THE SECOND LINE OF RED, YOU LAZY READERS.
So in short, here's a list of improvements I would really like to see:
+More guildmaster powers
+The ability to change the name of ranks (Executor, etc)
+More than 4 characters for a title
+More than 50 characters for a guild motto (Ideally at least 250)
+SPACES and punctuation allowed in guild mottos PLEASE if nothing else at least that b:cry
+A faster update rate for the guild screen (the member levels stay the same for a very long time)
+The option to mark a guild member on the world map
+A fullfledged guild MENU instead of screen (i.e., when you press G it will open the guild intro page, which has tabs near the top for sections like guild info, guild members, etc)
I could probably even keep going. But those are really simple requests, I'd like to think, except for the last one which would just be nice and practical. I appreciate the effort the developers have put into the guild system, allowing for the owning of territories and whatnot. But for the guilds that aim more for being just a community, this game seriously lacks the resources to support those guilds.
Alas, failure to add these features would never make me leave this great game. But the addition of them would make it that much better.

well tot i totally agree and not just cuz i am a member of Lawlocaust but because i am a prime member of an MMO community that encompasses a few games and being able to add things in like for example the url for the guild's forum and the url to the guilds website none the least and also i would want to include things like maybe a goal for a the week or possible guild events into this and with the limitation of 50 characters and not allowed to use spaces this becomes a trully impossible task0

Alright let's see if we can't get more than just ONE person commenting on this idea. o.o0

I totally agree with the author and his suggestions.
The game is just too good to have such a poor guild system. We need more than just a list of members, we need an option for leaders and members to customize their guild environment and in this way create something unique.
Go devs, go PWE! We'd really appreciate it. b:pleased0 -
I can help with one thing at least, there's a refresh button type thing in the top right hand corner of the guild screen. If you can't find it I'll get a screenshot next time i'm online.
Good luck with the rest of your requests.Mua - 8x WF - Conqueror0 -
Refresh button only refreshes who's online ... near as I can tell, current level is retrieved when you login, and never gets refreshed.
And yes, completely agree with original post.0 -
I know about that, but it is only a "Who's Online" refresh. The levels will stay the same. It's pretty annoying, considering I've played games where my guildmember's level updated the second they leveled up.Mua - Lost City wrote: »I can help with one thing at least, there's a refresh button type thing in the top right hand corner of the guild screen.

I'm glad we finally got some replies, let's keep it going. I KNOW there are others who agree with me.0 -

Also have the option to make guild names longer than just 9 characters long. Not too much imagination to go with that.WoW has 11 Million people playing. 11 million people also bought the Sega Dreamcast console. Proof that 11 million people can collectively do something stupid.

I agree
Something else I would like to see is a raid type system. Where the raid leader could invite groups so that the leader could see all the ppl in the raid and only allow the ppl in the raid into the tw0 -
Well yeah I kind of included that in the original post.
Thanks for the poists keep 'em coming0 -
Bump cause it was on the second page.0

The guild screen does suck. I would like to see everything implemented that you statedb:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

Woot for more supporters. Come on people I know there's more of you who agree. Don't think that posting won't do anything, we'll get the developer's attention. The things I've asked for, except the last thing in the list, would be relatively easy to implement and they could have it added in a few patches. Yes, I DO speak with a background in coding so I'm not just saying that.
Bumpage for more support. I ain't giving up.0 -
I agree with it - it's not the first thread on the topic. (I don't agree on daily basis bump though.)
I can't put even URL into the slogan, that plain sucks. I think they could fix this in a minute but they just rather add another mount into the game...0 -
Yup, the fixes would be relatively easy for the developers to implement. But you're right, they're far too busy adding new things to the boutique. 0

I'm only typing in here because of your bumps now you dont have to do a bump lol aahhaha b:laugh
I also agree. b:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I'd love to see a lot of these be implemented as it'll help run guilds a lot smoother, or rather easier.
TBH, though, like any other suggestion, it'll probably be noted but then left in the dust.
But keep pushing. c: These are all wonderful ideas.Former Leader of 卓越的 {Transcendent}

The more replies we get, the more attention we'll draw. The more attention we draw, the more likely it will be that they'll add these features.0 -
