You cannot join a guild before the expiry time of the conflict initiated by your previous guild while you were a member.


This is what you see every time you try and join a guild...this is what pisses me off, what i want to see done is THIS gone!
i want to see this gone because im trying to find a place where i belong and i think i belong in SIlent Elite! all i want to do is join the frikken guild but NOOOOO!! i have to wait probably 1 FULL day to do so! :evil:



Post what you think is right!

I see no reason that you cant be able to join another guild, they still have you as a valid target until the end of conflict anyways. Maybe someone can point me to where Id see my view as wrong though. :)

They instituted this to stop cheating. People used to leave guilds join one and screw up a conflict then jump back to the old guild or similar. This has 2 basic flaws:

a. If a guild initiates on your guild and completes their hits, you should be able to join a guild before the expiry time. You aren't a target once they have their hits are in so you should be free to go.
--- You just cannot join the guild that is attacking the guild you were in, until the timer runs out.

b. If you leave and want to rejoin the guild you just left you should be able to, You're a target either way still for that other guild. It isn't a change of guild, it is the -same- guild.

That being said, I do think that there could be changes to make the game a little more friendly to players who are just wanting to move to a new guild for whatever reason.

* If a guild invites you, and you want to accept you should be able to mark the acceptance so that even if you're offline you join that guild when the timer is up for the previous guild's conflicts.
-------This would still leave you potentially naked and a target in a conflict in your new guild. (I have an idea for that though)

* Once you state an acceptance, the guild you will be joining could send you tagged gear, that you could put on, but the stats from it would not work until the time when you could officially join the guild when the gvg timer runs out.
------- Part of the 'queuing' of an entrance could be that if someone is able to set a ranking of a member, that they be able to set the intended rank of a queued member as well. Rights for the ranking would not activate until the timer runs out.
------- On the members list the Contrib. XP would read as 'pending' then when the timer runs out so that a player officially joins, the 'pending' turns to a 0. Exp gained during the countdown would not go to the guild as contribed exp.
------- "pending" members of this nature would take up a membership slot.
------- "pending" members would not be viable gvg targets until their timer for previous guild expired.
------- On their profile "pending" members will have a notice in their bio after the guild name.

Player XXXXX
Rank of Guild Name (pending)
Last Activity: x hours, y mins, z secs

This 'pending' notice would let players recruiting know that this player is no longer currently seeking a guild. Potentially saving them and the player awaiting the timer to finish from messaging each other needlessly.

This would allow for more active acceptances, gearing, and ranking of players rather than leaving them in limbo for longer than necessary while still allowing for the timer between leaves and joins to still do its job as intended.
