We're very close to releasing the new UI on the alpha server - hopefully this week now :)

First off, I congratulate the HCS team for FINALLY addressing the GvG issue in a news update.

You said the original system was being abused for farming RP, but you gave us a WORSE system to replace it. As a result, many of the top GvG guilds couldn't afford / profitably continue GvGing. The current state of the Top 250 GvG guilds are inactive, for the most part.

Also, MANY guilds are still farming RP, because you created a system where having a high GvG rating was UNPROFITABLE. Meaning, it would cost you more to initiate conflicts if you have a higher GvG rating. In theory, your idea was good, but in practice it doesn't work.

No one fights for ties in a system like this. Unless the attacking guild misses an attack, GvGs are let through without resistance (aka farmed).

Reform Ideas:

1) I think everyone would agree that a reset of the GvG rating is needed. Also, it should be done regularly, perhaps once a month or every 2 weeks.

2) GvGs should be among equally strong guilds, therefore I suggest some sort of measurement to determine that. The measurement could include: number of members, guild level, GvG rating, activity of the guild, or a mixture of them.

3) Award RP for a defending tie AND a win.

4) Increase the minimum number of players in a guild to initiate conflicts. The current requirement is 4 and I suggest you increase that to 8. Eight is the maximum amount of members you can have in a guild without increasing member space through upgrades.

5) More RP items / Revised RP packs. They should introduce some inventable GvG gear to the game. For balance, the gear can only be used to defend or initiate a GvG. The RP packs should be something that a player couldn't buff themselves / find in a potion form. They should be tailored to defending a GvG or helping to win a GvG

then we're going to focus on improving other aspects of the game, such as Guild Conflicts.

Could you at least give us a point in what direction the guild conflicts might be going? because I don't want to start a bunch of conflicts costing upwards of 300~500k in gold, then find out that you guys lower the cost of GvG again, and then i wasted a ridiculous amount of gold for them...

Thanks for any help you can give.
