Guilds Dashboard
As the title suggests, I would like to propose the addition of a Guild Dashboard.
Throughout my years of playing, I have noticed that some of the most memorable moments in the game are the ones you share with your guildmates. They are players just like us, but over time, they can become genuine friends. Guilds are an essential part of the games experience, providing players with a sense of community and belonging.
However, I have also noticed that finding a guild often comes down to one of two things: sitting in Haven and asking whether any guilds are recruiting, or receiving an invitation directly from another player. While both approaches work, I believe that new and veteran players alike would benefit from having a dedicated place to browse available guilds and learn more about them before deciding to join.
A Guild Dashboard could provide information such as:
- Recruitment status: Whether a guild is actively recruiting, accepting applications, closed to new members, or operating on an invitation-only basis.
- Membership requirements: Any specific requirements or expectations that prospective members should be aware of.
- Primary region: The region where most of the guild's members play, helping players find a community that better suits their location and play schedule.
- Guild focus: Whether the guild primarily focuses on missions, PvP, social activities, or other aspects of the game.
- Guild description: A brief introduction explaining what the guild is about and what prospective members can expect.
I also think it would be useful to include an application system. Players interested in joining a guild could submit an application or express their interest directly through the dashboard. The Guild Master could then receive a notification, either through the in-game mail system or through a dedicated notification in the guild console, to avoid unnecessary mail clutter.
Another useful addition would be a filtering system. Players could narrow down their search based on recruitment status, region, guild focus, and membership requirements, making it easier to find a community that matches their interests and expectations.
Currently, some Discord servers have dedicated channels for guild recruitment, which is helpful for players who use those platforms. However, not everyone uses Discord, and even those who do may not regularly check recruitment channels. Having this feature integrated directly into the game would make guild recruitment more accessible and convenient for everyone.
I think that it could simplify the recruitment process, help guilds connect with suitable new members, and make it easier for players to find a community where they feel welcome. Since guilds play such an important role in the social aspect of the game, providing players with better tools to discover and join them could further strengthen the community as a whole.
