[Feedback] - Rivalry Rule changes

So if you leave an inactive guild for an active guild we get punished for that season? That doesnt seem okay. Seeking better opportunities shouldn't be punished. I have to remind myself often this is a flimsy effort by the developers

 

Well quoted KT

I did not get my rivalry reward. I been working on the guild mission actively and i'm one of the top contributer to the guild mission. Please look into this seriously or you will lost many active player.

 

A timer is the only alternative for what they want to do

 

The biggest issue is that there was no in game announcement of this, I happened to stumble upon it while prowling the forums with my morning cup of coffee. I was the first to make a thread actually asking Grim Repair if it would be the same for people who are KICKED from a guild, which he confirmed was the case. Then he later deleted the thread saying it was a "Duplicate". Mind you, I am not even remotely affected by this, I have a small guild with a few people in it and have never left or changed. The plan was just poorly thought out and too quickly implemented; Coming from a person who HATES guild hoppers

 

No skin in the game here because I didn't switch guilds during the week, but it seems like the best idea would be maybe to implement this NEXT week, and retroactively give everyone their rewards for the past week? It's one thing to punish people after the fact for exploiting, it's entirely different to change a game mechanic that will affect a week's worth of effort 4 hours before the end of the week and punish people.

 

Thank you for considering buffer time. What about guild leaders who kick a player ( top 5 contributor) right before rivalry ends? How fair is it to be kicked with over 5k guild trophies and not recieve your just reeards. Too much power in the hands of the leader.

 

@ Rovio....
A buffer between Rivalries isn't necessary, and I don't feel it's the best solution.
Here's what we need:
- When a new Rivalry season starts, your are "imprinted" on your current Guild.
- You can still leave that Guild at any time, and join another.
- You can earn quest-based rewards in the new Guild, but not Rivalry rewards in the new Guild until the next Rivalry season.
- You get whatever Rivalry reward your original imprinted Guild earns.

1. Exploit is no longer possible.
2. People aren't completely punished for leaving.
3. Getting kicked (justly or unjustly) is no longer devastating. (Removes Troll-power from bad Guild leaders)
4. People can choose for themselves when they want to swap Guilds, no need to force them to hop within a small window.
5. People can leave, help other guilds, share videos, whatever they want, and come back and still get the rewards they deserve.

 

Does not matter 12 or 24 hours. Its still a timer lol

 

Let's be honest here, if the past exploit fiasco had proper Communication to begin with, there wouldn't be much of an issue today either.

 

@Spinners71 Great idea of imprinting. That would solve so much. Earning rewards from the guild you are imprinted to.....unless like my old guild.... it no longer exist.

 

So because I was kicked (was a friendly kick as a joke) and rejoined a few seconds later, I get my hard earned rewards taken away.

You said this was to promote loyalty and to rid of exploits.

Let's see here...

Exploits: none

Disloyalty: none

Rewards: none?

Great job

 

I was in my current guild within first 30 minutes of the new week as was most in my current guild yet we ALL got no rewards even though we did 48 quest.....
