@Emberguard so it seems but it would’ve been better if they did put as much time and effort into the last settlement. Due to the lack of that, I’m surprised they’re taking testing the castle system seriously apparently. Though it’s working pretty well and as intended as far I’ve been able to observe so far.
Though castle points for completing 1/2 event quests and extra bonus points for completing all event quests would be helpful making completing event quests more appealing. Also giving an decant amount of points for completing settlements would be well deserved as it’s also part of activity.
Giving the top10 of contributors of GbG within each guild bonus castle points and giving such for every 10th advancement (5 negotiations or 10 battles or combination of the 2 resulting in an total of 10 advancements) in GbG bonus castle points similar to negotiations and battles. EG 40 for the first 10, 30 CP for the second, 20CP for the third 10 and 15 CP for the fourth, 10 CP for the fifth and 5CP for the sixth 10x advancements of the day woud help motivating players to attend GbG actively. For example for top 10 bonus CP:
1.) cp = number of members / 80) * (1.700 CP/((5/league*))
2.) cp = number of members / 80) * (1.500 CP / ((5/league*))
3.) cp = number of members / 80) * (1.300 CP / ((5/league*))
4.)-10.) cp = ((number of members / 80) * (1.100cp - (# distributor x 100))) / (5/league*)
11>.) cp = (number of members / 80) * ((50CP / ((5/league*))
Above applied only for anyone with 140 or more advancements total at the end of the GbG season.
Top 3 guilds in battleground could obtain bonus CP for their contributors. For example:
#1 - 15% bonus cp for active contributors
#2 - 10% bonus cp for active contributors
#3 - 05% bonus cp for active contributors
This would really be rewarding activity, especially for those who are actively supporting their guilds and motivates guilds to actively competes others. The formula is in place to counter act potential abuse by purposely making an small guild as it would be more easy to reach the highest reward as an contributor within an smaller guild, thus maximising your CP from GbG. As for the league formula:
Copper (first league)
5 / league = 5 / 1 = 5
Silver (second league)
5 / league = 5 / 2 = 2.5
Gold (third league)
5 / league = 5 / 3 = 1,67
Platinum (fourth league)
5 / league = 5 / 4 = 1,25
Diamond (fifth league)
5 / league = 5 / 5 = 1
If you manage with the largest possible guild to become the #1 contributor while in diamond league but your guild isn’t too 3 you’ve earned yourself 1.700 cp. Much more than you would’ve gotten from 2w daily daily challenges. However if your guild also won that round of GbG it’s topping out on 1.700cp * 1.15 (15% bonus) = 1.955cp, that’s a lot but it’s well deserved for diamond and being the most important player for that victory in an maxed out guild. However if you where in an 3 member guild it would be: (3 members / 80) x 1.700 cp = 63,75 -> 64 cp. if the guild would be victorious it is 63,75cp * 1.15 (15% bonus) = 73 cp. As you can see this does promotes also bigger guilds as an means to severely countering abusing the system as an mini guild.
Trying to abuse it by playing in copper only would also severely cut the potential. Even in an 80 members guild:
1.700 / (5 / league) = 1.700 / (5/1) = 1.700 / 5 = 340 cp. As an mini guild 340 * (3 / 80) = 13 cp. As you can see through math abusing the bonus cp severely cuts in the potential. Smaller guilds are defiantly hit but in the bigger guilds that find managing stuff at times a bit harder and competing within the guild is harsher the rewards are much better to compensate. While non-contributors or low contribution (less than an average of 10 advancements daily) are not rewarded unlike the personal rewards from any position after an GbG season. Explaining this concept is a bit complex and thus lots of text, sorry for that but I feel GbG activity should be included for CP rewards and contribution should be rewarded with CP. Especially the bigger guilds and the higher the league is giving more motivation to getting active with GbG and as an guild to get an as high as possible league. For GE I think the rewards of CP are already good the way they are.
