GarethTheSith Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hey, Bioware and fellow Guild Masters! I wonder why anyone didn't brought this up (or I didn't find it in this thread), but Guild Masters and Officers need better guild tools! Seriously, guys, it's been almost 2 years since the launch of the game and the guild system and tools haven't changed much. Well, except rep and exp bonuses. IMHO, right now we need: - More rank slots! We need more than 10! - Guild Logs. Who got invited, by whom and who quit the guild, who was kicked and by whom. (This is very very important! GM's should know what is going on in their guild while they are offline). Reason for leaving or kicking someone from guild would be nice too. - Guild tools. Like putting a mute on player for a specified time, banning or kicking with type-able reason ect. For example, for flood or rude text. - More functional "Message of the day". Dunno, i think no one reads it. Text and MotD window are really small. Also, better "Guild description" window would be nice too. - Guild Logos. No comments on that. - Guild Masters difference. I think Guild Masters should differ from other players. For example, color of name (nick) or some logo or icon or even exclusive title should be added for them. Well... that all I can think of right now. Any other suggestions from fellow GM's would be even nicer! P.S. Sorry for my English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHboy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hey, Bioware and fellow Guild Masters! - More rank slots! We need more than 10! - Guild Logs.

For example, color of name (nick) or some logo or icon or even exclusive title should be added for them. . 1) Ranks don't really matter, keep it simple, officer/officer alt, noob, non-officer, raider/progression. 2) Log maybe..thats why you have an officer note/member note fill them out. Otherwise limit kicks/invite to officers or even GM/Leaders only. 3) Need to rethink your guild if you have that type of problem. We've had instances yes, but typically a few wisps from officers clean that up quick. If its a long term thing, remove from guild. 4) not really meant for that, a guild calendar would be more useful. 5) Guild logos..No, not worth it. Name is sufficient. 6) GM identification, They have big enough heads half the time anyway. A GM of a 4 person guild vs a GM of a 500 person guild are not equal. Don't treat them that way.

GarethTheSith Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks for your opinion. I still think that Bioware could add few mentioned neat things to make GM's work a little less "dusty", 'cos running a 500+ guild ain't easy.

At some point, need more officers and let them handle the day to day stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasOpossum Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes, I agree, we need more guild management tools: 1. Most im portant is calendar Being able to set up events, like raids or PVP, where people can chose to register/participate. Also bring in Bioware events into calendar, like Gree, Bounty hunt event and so on. 2. More useful columns in guild member table we need a column for role(s) like DD, Heal, Tank we need a column for profession we need a column where it shows date of guild entry 3. Show guild exits 4. guild logos (not so important) make a guild logo designer, and those logos can be seen on special armors, maybe on shoulder. 5. make subgroups available within guild Officers can create subgroups within guild and drag and drop guild members into these subgroups. For every event in the calender a subgroup can be selected or it will be "open for whole guild" as default. 6. Make guild ships avaiable in the Fleet. (not so important) The interfleet taxi will bring you to your own guild's ship ... a nice idea for guild housing later on. the guild can then improve features of the guild ship. 7. If you use the /who feature, the guild of other players should be displayd in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBarok Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes please... Guild Calendar / Event Registration / Attendance tracking. Persistent Guild Log with Date/Time stamps for joins/quits/removes/rank changes. Guild Info Tab: Move the MOTD and Description sections to it but expanded, along with another section for guild rules, and maybe a logo. Allow more than 1 guildmaster, or create a co-guildmaster permission that can be applied to a custom rank and has equivalent permissions to the guildmaster (including guild bank management, guild permissions and ranks management.) Increase cap on number of guild ranks. Some guilds don't care about this but others do. If you don't want it or find it unimportant, then don't create more ranks for your guild, but don't deny other guilds from customizing their rank structure the way they want. Add account ban feature to keep troublemakers from making alts and rejoining. Guild Roster: Make Detailed View Columns expandable, and roster exportable to csv. Add Column for Account Name (to help keep track of alts) Add Column for Roles (updates as player selects their roles in groupfinder) Add Column for Guild Join Date (and maybe date of rank) Add Column for Crew Skill Crafting Profession. Add Column for Account-Type Status: Sub/Pref/F2P (include a * if account has security key) Guild Ships: Instanced ships traveled to via interfleet transport. Guild Bank, Cargo Hold, Mail terminal, Crew Skill Vendor, Medical Vendor included. GTN Kiosk, Class Trainer, Class Respec Mentor, Target Dummies able to be purchased. Guild Mail: Permission for ranks that allows to send mail to "guild" which sends to all members in guild. Require a typed reason for guild removal, which sends a mail to the character removed. Require a typed reason for guild quit. Guild quit reasons only show up in Officer Chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
