Hello Beta,
A few weeks ago, we introduced you to 2 new levels of the Statue of Honor as part 1 of our GBG Improvements. Today, we've added part 2 of these changes, with 2 main additions:
As a direct response to community feedback, we've added a brand new mechanic to Guild Battlegrounds for Founders, Leaders and Battleground Officers of a Guild. This new functionality gives these members the option to tell their guild to focus or ignore specific provinces on the map. To access this, they simply need to click on a province, and choose either the focus or ignore tick boxes. This will then give a visual prompt to others on which provinces to work on. The function doesn't restrict interaction with other provinces, and is designed to help coordinate, but not to remove people's freedom to choose how they want to play.
Provinces can be marked with the 'Focus' or 'Ignore' signal when they are not owned by your Guild, even if the province is currently in lockdown. Once a province has been acquired by your guild, the focus signal will be removed.
Another big community request was for you to be able to see the Match Making Ranking (MMR). This was requested to help people to calculate their progress. We decided rather than simply sharing the numbers we use, it would make a lot more sense to just show MMR to you ingame, so you can track it. To make this a little more user friendly, though, we'll refer to MMR ingame as 'League Points' or LP. League Points will be viewable in several different screens ingame:

League Points

To make this a little more user friendly, though, we'll refer to MMR ingame as 'League Points' or LP. League Points will be viewable in several different screens ingame:
- In the leader board within a running Battleground, showing how many League Points each guild will receive based on their positioning in the battleground.
- The GBG Reward Chest screen which shows the results of a recent Battleground. This will show the gains or losses in LP during this round, as well as if the guild has climbed or dropped a league.
- The GBG Finish screen between seasons which will show the amount of LP earned in the last battleground.
- The Guild Info panel which also includes a visual overhaul of this window to bring it in line thematically with other windows. The League Points will show in the info screen, as well as details of the guild's standing in GE.
- Guild Ranking where you can see each guild's current League Points.
