i don't know about specifics, but I think that it should cost a fairly large amount of crowns and energy for the initial purchase of the feature since it would be a pretty big feature (both currencies because that will help the economy become more stable.).

-Purchase of feature 400+ce & 5k+ crowns
-designing a level 100-500 crowns
-saving a level 1k - 2k crowns
-posting a level 10ce & 3k

these are just prices that i think would be pretty fair

also maybe the prices could vary depending on level size or amount of objects inside. Or another idea, maybe have a level design catalog with all of the different monsters and objects that the guild members can use (each thing only needs to be purchased once and then everyone in the guild can use it in their levels.) although pricing would be more complicated for this.

The thing is, SK doesn't seem to have guild for any reason. It's just like a weird friend list. Guilds are pretty much just useless. You pay so much energy and crowns on making a guild, and pretty much nothing happens with it.

SK seriously need to come up with something for guilds to do. Even Combat Arms has Clan wars.

Sk needs to come up with a use for guilds, otherwise they may as well just not be there.

Training/sparring arena sounds good. I read SK is coming up with a PVP arena. Can't wait to try it out. AT least have some room where you can maybe test out your weapons? Go to the training hall and someone will probably set you on fire.

Just come up with something SK. Seriously.

Okay, finally got around to posting on this thread.

Okay mymancanoe, here are my thoughts on the pricing.

-Purchase: This can be figured out by SK, but the combination of CE and Cr pricing (with Cr being substantially more than CE) is a really good idea.
-Design: I'd say around 350-450 Crowns for choosing a bland dungeon (prices differ on size of dungeon and 'pre-installed features' i.e. brambles, spikes, etc). Then you can buy 'rounds' with the first one being free and the rest costing a trivial amount of CE and 500 Crowns
(probably capped at a certaim amount). After that you can place the spawning of the monsters and click on them to change when they appear (time-delay, or when other monsters are wiped out). The cost of the monsters would vary, with perhaps each dungeon having a limit on how many monsters are allowed in each round. Each monster would cost something (This is hurting my head now, I'm just going to leave the rest to SK)>
-Saving a level: Seems reasonable.
-Posting: Should be free, or cost very little Cr, to the guild. Of course the way I'm thinking is that each person can have only one dungeon which they can improve on and share with friends/guildies.

(I'm sure that there is something I'm missing, so feel free to tell me)
The catalogue system could be integrated into the system with someone 'unlocking' a monster for some thing (again, head hurt, leave to SK).

I think the guild halls must have been made with some intention of changing them cause right now they're very useless also there are alot of people wanting this on the forms so I belive OOO has a plan.

If you have level ten gear full then the idea of it's heat going to hall will be good

I can sum up my thoughts about this idea/suggestion in the following words: Head, Hurt.

This just seems overly complicated and open to abuse. Well, to me at least. I really need other people's input on this thing.

Hey. eternity08 redirected me to this thread.

My guild suggestions? It's an exact quote from my post (apart from the stuff in quotes. lol). Although it's not about guild halls, it does have something to do with guild improvement.

Hey everyone! I have some new suggestions for guilds in general. I'd love to know what you think, so if you care to, leave feedback below!

Okay first off, I have to say the 100 player limit is useless and annoying. It shouldn't be lifted, but it should be extended. Maybe to 200, or 400 I don't know. Four hundred honestly sounds like too much; I think I'll stick with somewhere around 200-250. Yeah 250, that sounds nice. Anyways... Yeah guilds need more space! Me and my older sister are running a guild, and we constantly have people asking if we can invite their friends but the guild is full! Maybe other guilds don't have this problem due to there being requirements to join the guild, but our guild is a matchmaking guild so we need all the people we can get!

One of my other suggestions is for there to be more diversity in the guild ranks. Not really to add diversity, but as an extra feature...
Something like this would be nice:

Un-Ranked (No rank)
Recruit
Member
Veteran
Officer
Head/Lead Officer (would have permission to demote/demote officers without being a Guild Master)
Guild Master
Guild Founder (Basically this is just for the creator, letting the guild members know who the guild creator is, not a now rank just a designation)
"
Names don't really matter, the rank system is basically numbers, and a few more numbers need to be added to the system. Somthing like this basically, with any name

5. Un-Ranked
4. Recruit
4. Member
4. Adept Member --] All of these are number "4" because they all have the same rights in the guild.
4. Veteran
3. Officer
2. Ambassador/Captain/Head Officer
1. (2)Guild Master
1. (1)Guild Founder
"
Thanks for reading and let me know what you think,

Secure

P.S. I would tell everyone to join my guild who read this is, if they need some games to join but it's full -_-

It would be cool if there was a board to leave other guild members messages and to leave announcments.

ok well how shall i start
well see my guild is strating to get really active
and we trying to stay together plus get stronger at same time
but there are some issue
we promote people buy the gear they have but some times we need to see what skills they have
so im am saying .....

we shud make like a small training area in guild hall
--------------or-----------
allow a special place for guild only to join so we can use weapons
----------if you understand what i mean-------

00000000000 I am sevensins and im in the hunter x hunter guild

Does anyone really need a guildhall? I mean, you can just use guildchat, type /guild. I guess guild cotume armor would be cool, but all you would be really able to change is color. We already have one useless training hall as well. You guys really want to put a couch in there to sit on or somehting? You can probabaly do that in real life. And then someone said put in a freaking mascot.... I just don't find this entertaining, why not have the game makers put their effort into something like a new boss stratum, or new items, or a actuualy cool version of pvp.

The guild hall could be a place for announcements that could be put on said guild message board instead of the GMs having to message every single member to get the message across when they aren't online.

A customized flag would also be nice, one hung up on the back area where the background is seen.

Already suggested into this thread behind the following link:

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/2538?page=1

Beyond this link above is also another link within the post of mine (search for it) which leads to another thread with another post of mine within SK forums so the information mentioned behind this link is definitely not all there is to it. Note that you need to watch out because you will face a huge bunch of words beyond this link! You are warned. LOL

Best of Day! O(^_^)O

Hm.. I think out of all those, the guild Message board and Jukebox has merit, though some sort of guild pvp system would be interesting besides the awful Bomberman game.

Being an Officer in my guild, I interact with our guild members alot, and alot of the time they make requests to each other for specific items like recipes when doing runs, asking one of the other members to buy it for them if they see it. I find if we had some sort of Bulletin Board for messages like that it would be easy for members to leave messages to the guild if they were requesting things like this, or if they had to leave for awhile, or any other message for the guild.

Another suggestion for the Guildhall that my Guild leader has mentioned was either having the Trade channels work in the Guildhall, or have an area that accesses the Auction House. As strange as it may seem, my guild hangs in our guild hall rather often to get away from the beggars and annoyances of the Havens.

Finally..I guess maybe put a Pinball machine in there? :P

Here it is the solution to donating heat to the guild for all needed purposes.

There will be vending machines every beginning of a gate, crossroads, murcroft manor, etc.
It will let you edit the percentages of all things that might require heat.
So for example if there once becomes 5 things that need heat. This is how it is.

Requirement A- 20%
Requirement B- 20%
Requirement C- 20%
Equipment Requirement- 20%
Guild Donation Requirement- 20%

So if the total heat you receive is 500 units then 20% goes to each category you edited.
There must always be equality so the percentages must always be equal to 100%
The editing system will always be automatically updated if your stuff doesn't need anymore heat.
That way no heat is wasted, and idiots won't be able to keep the percentage above 0%.

So basically this is how they can be shown as

Requirement A- 25%
Requirement B- 25%
Requirement C- 25%
Equipment Requirement- 0%
Guild Donation Requirement- 25%

Requirement A- 30%
Requirement B- 20%
Requirement C- 40%
Equipment Requirement- 0%
Guild Donation Requirement- 10%

This is an effective way to do things and there should be one in the bazzar, guildhall, haven, and arcade.
Just encase you don't get one in a gate.

This thread doesn't deserve to die and I hope people will start to get more ideas.

Id like to see a more reason for guilds to e public. As of now all guilds are simple little titles. there no respect or prestige among guilds. It would be nice if there were opportunities for this. Perhaps we could have a prestige system (no not like call of duty) I have a general idea....

There could a be central guild center thats accessible by the guild hall. Basiclly its the spiral order making supervising all the guilds. Here multiple guilds could come together to collaborate and do giuld business.There'd be several rooms here. The first would be a front office/registry or something. Here you can view various stats and files on several guild. This would include average Tier level, number of monster killed prestige(more on that later), MVP of the guild, guild profile and more. This could even be a central recruiting station. Also from here you might be able to submit a guild crest or symbol and if its approved it could go in the guild hall and on your shield (Not my idea about the crest. Later I shall provide the link to the original thread with this idea). Next to that could be a guild bazaar where you could trade among guilds and purchase furniture as stated above. There'd also be a diplimatic room where only officers and guild master could enter. here you could make alliances with other guilds. If you make an alliance you wont fight in PVP guild matches (theres a reason for this). Finally there could be an arcade which would feature guild only clockworks. I think id be coo if the paths were all random, and you had the opportunity to appear in a level with another guild were pvp would turned on. The thing is these levels would have to have multiple path that only crossed each other, not overlapped.

Now to explain my main idea, Prestige. Basically every time you completely a level while in a guild you earn prestige, which is basically green heat. Completing levels which guild members gives you a prestige multiplier. Over time the spiral order will acknowledge your guilds prestige and allow you to upgrade your guild hall. Also you use prestige to unlock recipes to make furniture. The thing is the more the spiral order funds you, the high expectations your guild is required to meet. if you dont earn a specific amount then then you get downgraded. Now playing levels isn't the only way to earn prestige. you can also steal prestige in PVP battles. Prestige unlocks are by both amount and gild rank. I kinda have to wrap this up im in a hurry but this could help create a basic system of competitiveness and pride as a guild

long story short, you guild earns heat for sing things around the clockworks. Yo can fight for this heat in pvp battles. The spiral order will award you for reaching certain guild rank or level of heat with guild hall upgrade and furniture recipes

These ideas are great, I hope the suggestions from the initial post would be added at the very list. Not sure if this was listed, but I would also like it if you could choose to login at the guild hall as well. Let's just hope these aren't falling on deaf ears.

Lhykos I'm really liking your idea.

This thing came back from the dead? When?
/sigh
Better put in my thoughts.
______________________________________________
I really think that that whole 'duplicate' thing would be a bit... How can I put this? What you are doing is telling a person that if they eat a smaller cake rather than the big cake, they can have their cake, yet also contribute to unlocking an even bigger cake.
I think it would be better if you could tell them that they could forego having any cake in order to unlock the bigger cake. This would really make people think about their cake
P.S. (Replace Cake with x)
______________________________________________
Also, considering the amount of threads that there are about the Guild Hall, I think it's inevitable that OOO is going to release an update concerning the Guild-Hall. But they sure are going to take their sweet time with it. Just wait. It'll come out eventually by itself. Forcing it won't do anything. It will go in it's own time.

That's basically what we are going for. Of course the price is up to OOO to set. If they use CE then that will raise the price of it, CR will add a crown sink (But chances are that it will be insane amounts of CR needed to unlock something.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Long Story Short: We agree that the guild will need to pay to get these things. How and by paying what is another matter.

all i gotta say is, kingdom of loathing has a better guild hall :3

screw accessories, implement this OOO! plenty of good ideas here.

I've added the idea of Guild Flags being transferred onto Tabards and given to each member as a Costume. How they are given out is a problem. Can only the GM(s) so it? The Officers? Do you need to unlock something first?

yes the guild master gives it to you
