Official Guild Pet Update Discussion and Feedback Thread

[Pomurnik]

I will be glad if they will allow us to collect gold while upgrading the gold pit.
Now we have choice between collecting gold or upgrading building with no benefit during this process which extend period of time until cost of upgrading and amount of gold which we could obtain in this time will be refunded.

And I bet there will be requirements like 20 or 25 lvl of gold pit. If someone dont want to upgrade this building all the time still there will be option to conquer hall of fame with servants from underworld.

"The maximum Level of the Guild Pet is limited to the Character Levels of the first 25 (not necessarily highest) Guild Members. All Levels are added up and divided by 25"

"Attributes of the Guild Pet are calculated based on the first 25 (not necessarily highest) Guild Members. All Attributes are added up and divided by 10."

On quick glance it looks like the pet growth is affected more by players who focus on gold/stats over experience/levels. Then again it is not obvious how much one level up improves the pet.

players levels affect attribute only ... things like damage, HP calculated using guild pet level

Exactly. And just like with players it is possible to estimate how many stat points a level up is worth. This relative growth is what I referred to in my previous post.

Three weeks have passed and I think we can safely say that Guild Pet update was mediocre at best.

Not very exciting, a lot of people already tend to forget about it.


It would seem the respawning head mechanic just makes fighting seem pointless. Would be great if they got rid of this (mechanic).

Totally agree!

When the update was released, we reached the 7-headed hydra on day two. This morning we started fighting against a 4-headed hydra. People just forget about it or they simply don't care, because the reward may be lost on the next morning.

When we do the raids, we have a "potion party" - everyone saves their best potions for the beginning of the month and then we do our best to beat the new raid. And when we beat it, it's done - the reward is collected and we move to the next one, we don't repeat it over and over. We could do the same with the guild pet - participation would be a lot more valuable.

ps, I understand why we have this mechanics (you could google "The sunk cost fallacy"), but people would be a lot more satisfied, if you remove it.

It was obvious from beginning. And lowering the time to 30 minutes from 1h does not help too much.

Asking again why time delay is set?

So only botters benefit.

nice idea of a group of 25 person in a guild...
All trying to get more levels..

Which I aint seen in along time..
I can show there is at least 90% of the persons on the server ARNT playing..
Trying to find those that ARE, tends to be All the high ranking guilds, and trying to get any of them to transfer, is kinda NOT Happening..
And its really hard going from 300,000 to 30,000 in the HOF, to find 1-2 people still playing.. As most New players will try to get to the top guilds.. My guild alone is 27th..with over 2/3 not playing anymore.

And we had this discussion a couple years ago..
And I noted that it was very strange that persons who had not played, Still had Stable animals.. Which would be a nice indicator that they were/not playing the game recently.

Then there was the thought about Fighting other groups was interesting with all the dead people, even thos they were at <10% they Still had their levels(??) and could hit you hard enough to kill all your low level team..

and when you fight them as individuals, those same persons had all their HP..Even when they have been Gone 5+ years..
the sever is s1.
401000+ persons listed on the server and I still see level 1 person past 300000... So, allot of level 1 persons...and rank 30,000 is still level 19 range..

Come on guys..
It would really be nice to see WHO is alive and NOT alive on a server with over 90% NOT PLAYING..
And it should be an easy Stat to look at on the server side.
And I would LOVe to get 25 players in my clan..
Look at the other high ranked clans, MOSt are full of dead players..
