i have read most of this thread, i see for and against posted, i don't see this as something i would use though i will wait to see how this pans out, so change my mind if u can, mostly though, what i mostly wanted to say is, i commend you on your passion and well done on trying to bring something new to the table!

One thing i think  there should be atleast  when a guild wins defending the attack other guild should have to wait out the 1 hr before they can attack again rather then just randomly hitting till they get it.

One thing i think there should be atleast when a guild wins defending the attack other guild should have to wait out the 1 hr before they can attack again rather then just randomly hitting till they get it.

I think this, groups lasting 1 Relic attack, and a Reign of Terror buff for defending would be an easy step in the right direction to fix relics.

Players get stuck and stop at 15-20 because the tutorial isn't inclusive and explanative enough. They use their stam and logout and never remember to login again because it likely wasn't much fun. They need to be told that the game consists of many more things than just hunting. Hunting is like 10-20% of the game.

Got to hook them in and show them there is something you can do every hour of the day.

As far as relics go i think having to sit on them is fine, this is not the problem it's the combat changes/mechanics that piled up in favor of the attacker (Which already had the edge from the inception). If you want to reinvent the wheel then i guess there can be a guild hall where you step into to defend all the relics. Guess you could justify it by that you snatched the relic and brought it home LOL.
