Thank you for the additional clarification. Things are getting a little clearer now, but this has raised more questions! (Surprised? Probably not.)
- So if you are in an alliance and your guild has laid down some traps, what's to prevent characters in an allied guild that you normally wouldn't be taking potshots at from stepping on some of your traps and keeling over as a result and (presumably) going into skill loss because of the trap damage?
Allies will not trigger each other's traps.
- How important are the scores going to be in terms of obtaining rewards, if there will actually be any in this system? In other words, if you are a small guild that is rarely going to be the top scorer in these battles (since alliances mean nothing for scoring), will there be any point in participating? Will the rewards always go only to the one and only highest-scoring guild? Or will there reward potential be based on other criteria? Will individual characters have some kind of reward potential as well, even if they belong to a small guild that rarely, if ever, wins battles?
You receive silver points based on actions done in real time during the battle. The amount of silver points have nothing to do with your actual guild size, it's based on what you accomplish (kills/sigil captures/occupation) during a match. At the end of the match the winner(s) (anyone with a score equal to that of the highest score) receive bonus silver points. Participant points are awarded as well in both cases. Example - if I get 5 silver points for a kill, everyone else participating (regardless of guild) in the match gets 1. If my guild gets 200 silver points for winning the battle, everyone else gets 100. The points are spent at a vendor to purchase various rewards that include consumables, armor, weapons, mounts, deco, etcs. There is very much the ability for a smaller, organized, tactically advanced group to win a battle over someone with sheer numbers.
Thanks!
