Spoiler New Feature "Guild raids"?

It'd be really nice if players could actually earn guild goods, but not some crap amount like 100 or 1000, tens to hundreds of thousands since thats how much GBG costs.

again, reason to create second GB same as alcatraz

actually the opposite
people who don't fight so much can donate the units they have too much (or from lower ages they don't need anymore)
and mass fighters will use those troops
:rolleyes:

will just change guild dynamics a little bit
instead of: just require members to have high GB which give guild goods now top guild will also require players to have high Alcatraz and donate those units

because this is also a guild feature.
so: not a few doing most but many doing something

Dear Kings and Queens,

Today we bring you two important announcements.

Initially, after careful analysis and consideration, we decided to close the Guild vs. Guild (FAG) feature. And secondly, we're pleased to introduce its immediate replacement - the all-new feature - Guild Raids!

In this post, we'd like to give you a brief primer on both. Within the next 1-2 months we plan to close the FTA and open Guild Raids first on the Beta server. For a more detailed Beta schedule, please visit the Beta Forum .

Please note that both of these features will only come to live servers after the Beta testing phase , which we don't expect to finish before the end of this year. Of course, we'll keep you posted on the live release schedule as it may change.

Now that we've got the timeline out of the way, we'll explain the reasons behind this decision.


Q: Why are we closing the Guild Against Guild?
A: We recognize that the FTA has become an integral part of the game for some of you, especially those who have been playing Forge for many years. The decision to close the operation did not come lightly to us. But here are the main reasons why we decided to do it:


  • Participation Versus Maintenance.
    Until now, only a very small percentage of our player population is actively playing FTAs. As a legacy feature, making it slow and bulky, FTA requires significant effort to maintain. Additionally, the FTA requires constant updates with each increment of Eras, and overall falls short of today's standards for feature design. As a result, it often falls short of your expectations and ours. Overhauling the FTA would require many of our resources and would not be feasible and secure in the future. Instead, in line with our market and vision for Forge of Empires, we decided to create a new feature to bring all the different players and Guilds together and make a new long-lasting addition to your gaming experience.
  • Inaccessibility.
    The FTA is not mobile accessible without a major technical overhaul. While this has been the case for some time, we believe it is no longer viable for a cross-platform game like Forge. Our goal is to close this gap and ensure that key features are equally accessible regardless of platform. The introduction of Battlegrounds in the past already addressed this, but with Guild Raids, we want to improve even further. Please note that during the testing phase, we will likely release the feature to the browser first, with the mobile update coming later.
  • Classification.
    The FTA continues to occupy an important position in the global ranking. With the recent PMS update, we've introduced a new ranking that focuses on Guild performance in PMS rather than prestige. For us, it was the first step in reducing the burden of the FTA on competition and making the rankings more fair and accessible to as many active guilds as possible, including mobile and browser players. We want to finish what we started and unite all Guilds in a new mission of Guild Raids.

Q: When will the FTA close?
A: We don't have the exact date yet, but we expect all the necessary preparations to be completed within the next 1-2 months. We will update you again when we know. By making this announcement early, we want to give you time to share your feedback with us and prepare, even though we don't have an exact date yet.

Q: What will happen to the FTA rankings?
A: They will be frozen in time in their closing state to commemorate all the impressive achievements of the Guilds. Other areas of the game that use prestige and Guild Power will be balanced accordingly.

Q: What are Guild Raids?
A: We designed this feature to bring all Guilds together to compete against each other, while also creating a new way of working together within Guilds by bringing your forces together for a common goal. We intend Guild Raids to be successors to FTA, but not necessarily the same. With Guild Raids, we want to introduce a new concept of a Guild mission in which participants move together from one mission point to another, earning rewards along the way. One could say that Guild Raids is somewhat of a parallel world, with its class, resources, and units.

Q: When will Guild Raids start?
A: We don't want to leave you without FTA for too long. After the FTA closes, we want to give ourselves time to address potential issues and hope to start Guild Raids soon after. As always, we'll keep you posted on progress.

Stay tuned for the next update on the FTA and Guild Raids! In the meantime, please feel free to discuss the changes, ask questions, and share your thoughts on what Guild Raids could be like in this thread.

Ανακοίνωση - Μεγάλα νέα στο Forge!

Αγαπητοί Βασιλιάδες και Βασίλισσες, Σήμερα σας φέρνουμε δύο σημαντικές ανακοινώσεις. Αρχικά, μετά από προσεκτική ανάλυξη κι εξέταση, αποφασίσαμε να κλείσουμε το χαρακτηριστικό Συντεχνία Εναντίον Συντεχνίας (ΣΕΣ). Και δεύτερον, είμαστε στην ευχάριστη θέση να σας παρουσιάσουμε τον άμεσο...

Not released on Beta yet and december is coming. If it's not released soon on Beta, I assume it won't be released this year, although heck do we know how much testing it needs. If they put this on Beta next week and everything is "okay", then after 2-3 weeks...it can be put on Live. We will see. I do think Inno wants to get this done this year, that's another story if they'll manage to do that.

Keep in mind that we have not seen any new reward buildings for Guild Raids. Until Nova or Beelzebob show us the datamined graphics of some shiny new building that we can win I don't believe that Guild Raids' release is imminent.
Nova has always found the graphics of the rewards before the event went to beta and this time will not be any different.

It's pretty pathetic when you don't have a programmer to make a popular feature playable for mobile users.

The dev actually died a number of years ago. Unfortunately in programming, when one guy does an entire feature, it's impossible to figure out what the hell sense any of it makes. So usually these features just die when the dev leaves rather than completely rebeuild it. Not just on Inno in my experience, there was also this huge thing when java died, some games are STILL almost 10 years later debating rebuilding the features or are still working on them.

Can I play beta via app? No ? Did the programmer die too? Or does the effort simply not pay off?
Any good programmer can see through the logic behind a code.

GvG is so great because you play directly against others and need tactics. GG has been pushed with various inflationary bonuses.
You would get more users to play GvG if you offer rewards similar to those in GG.
To cancel this feature is the biggest mistake. There will be many players who leave the game.
