This occurred to me not long ago, that when someone snags your relic, or attempts to,  you get credit for relic defense, and get a shiny medal for it.... This is wonderful, however I think it has a flaw, and I wonder if anyone would agree.... shouldn't retaking the relic have a medal, or at the very least count toward this one?  Just a thought... What do you think, FS?

Hmm, a medal for retaking a lost relic? It sounds pretty fair, but wouldn't this be pretty easy to manipulate? All it would take would be two guilds agreeing to trade the same relic back and forth. If there were a way to stop that I think it would be a great idea.

Can we not manipulate the medal for it now? Just make a deal with another guild and create some weak attack groups and lose a lot.

Yeah, this is true too. Sad to say.

I think a guild medal on relic stealing would be cool.  It is nice to do individual but to get all guild involved for a group medal might get team mates roaming around fs world.

Thanks for the feedback so far.  I am aware that there are holes in my theory, but the basic parts are sound, and may liven up player retention, and give players a new way to challenge themselves and their teammates... Sure, there will be some better than others, but that's part of the game, just like most of the people still here from when I began are hundreds of levels above me, mainly because I learned a different way to play my game...

 

I'm just throwing this out there... I can understand if it's something you think is stupid...

 

Thanks for letting me share,

Make it a guild medal for the number of different relics the guild captures (and track it so the guild knows which ones they still need to claim).  Much harder to abuse from a trading point of view and relics capturing will be in vogue for a bit.

we do not need more medals that are easily achievable via coercion.

And isn't it a shame that those that would, in this case, capture, defend and retake a Relic in the manner the game intended be denied a medal because of the above. Then again, should they be denied?

 

Cheers.

Would either be good as a new medal or a guild achievement..

Visual rewards for playing the game can't be a bad thing

i was waiting to see if DORY posted...he as asked for this a while ago also.  I totally agree that a relic stealing/capturing medal would be nice...on the guild page....(sorry DORY) cuz you do need at least two members from a guild to take a relic.  Would be nice...no award...but many of us, myself included..like the challenge of seeing if we can take a relic....lol just my dragon-cents worth!

The Highwaymen have not participated in the free Relic Medals since they came out. I'm glad to say that it was unanimous amongst the guild. We're silly and bogged down in ethics and pride of accomplishment and all that silly stuff, but we like it.

A medal for re-taking - sounds good and fair - great idea Penny!

If implemented, will it be manipulated? Yes, just grab your popcorn and we know exactly where to look too; however, that doesn't mean it's not a good medal. It only means that some folks will know they worked for it and some could care less - the manipulation is the game for them.

The medal should be individual for each player, for time sitting on a relic, like "Stay 168 hours over a Relic your guild control". That's the only way to make that medal fair, I've said that since the start, but didn't get much attetion =P

Same should be applied on "Guild treasure medal" ... what done is done that won't get change
