[Cataclysm] Guild Advancement - Page 2

Does anyone know yet if the guild levelling is like char level (i.e. bigger amount for each level), or a linear scale?

So with a 6m xp cap, would that put you at say level3 on first day, level 4 on second, then a week for level 5 and so on.. or would it simply be X days per level at cap needed?

Yes. If you leave your guild, you lose all of "your" guild achievement points (you'll be at 0). If you join a new guild, you are set to whatever that guild's achievement points are at. It's best not to think of them as "your" achievement points, but rather bound to the guild tag.

For rwagg42, the exp cap is fixed regardless of guild level, but the amount of experience it takes to advance a level scales (a lot more to get from 24-->25 than 1-->2). This *could* be wrong given the current state of the beta (they raised the daily cap dramatically to speed up guild advancement just so we could test the actual leveling system and abilities).

Right now the basic guild page seems to just be a vendor with the same items as the Guild Vendor npc. So it has the BoA items, the teleport cloaks, etc. If nothing else it's a mobile vendor if you don't have a mammoth.

I've been trying to get a couple answers to some of thee mechanics, but unable to grab a blues attention on the wow forums. As I don't have a beta account, i can't post in the thread that Mumper is active in.

can someone with a Beta key, post this thread in these forums. And any other questions that need to be answered.

I can confirm Guild Master does start with Neutral Reputation with their own (brand new) guild. You don't just get to make your own twink guild and get exalted items.

They've either reversed this or they're just contradicting themselves now.

Mumper, Sep 20 : Yes, any xp you earn will count towards the cap, no matter what the source.

Mumper, Oct 4 : Guild experience from achievements does not count towards the daily cap.

You missed the 1st post on that thread:

XP earned from guild achievements does not respect the daily cap. In other words, you will still get the xp even if you are capped.

suggests that achievements before hitting the cap should not apply towards the cap at all, which is contrary to what this thread suggests. If that is not how it is currently behaving on the beta, I suggest someone post a bug report about it.

It's working as intended, and this thread clearly states:

However Achievements do not respect the daily cap, as you can still get the experience they grant even after the daily limit of 6.2 Million is reached

On another note it seems there is a weekly Cap on Guild rep set @ 9k. Source. At this point it's not clear if this was just implemented in Beta only, or if it's going to make live.

The distinction in question is this one:

However is seem Achievements will ignore the cap as you can still get the experience they grant even after the daily limit of 6.2 Million is reached, but will still count towards it.
Example:A guild gets an achievement early in the day granting 1 Million GEP. They now have a total of 5.2 Million left before they reach the cap. But if they wait until they hit the capp, and then turn in the achievement they still get the 1Million GEP.

The blue post suggests that it should not behave this way. Meaning, an achievement gained early in day should not cause there to be 5.2 million left before reaching the cap -- it should still remain at 6.2 million.

Is it known whether the Have Group, Will Travel and Mass Resurrection abilities will only work on guildies?

cremor · 10/18/10, 2:06 AM

Don't know about Have Group, Will Travel, but there was a blue post saying that Mass Resurrection will work on anyone in the party/raid, but can only be used on a character once every 10 minutes (like Bloodlust debuff).

Bullshot · 10/18/10, 4:41 AM

Both will work on non-guildies as well. However, the Have Group, Will Travel perk cannot be used inside instances. You need to use it outside the entrance for the other members to get the summon. Mass Res does put a 10-minute debuff on you but it does get wiped out when you die again.

Danath · 10/25/10, 10:49 AM

I read that Tol Barad Brigade achievement isn't there anymore, although I can't exactly explain why. It sounded fun....

Cataclysm beta allows us to be summoned inside an instance, even outside of it, when dead or not in that particular guild itself.
