Today we reached Guild Rank 18. This brought us new benefits - some of which are great, and some of which are useless!
First the good - we can now assign up to 4 standard bearers at any given time within the guild. This will definitely allow for greater flexibility, especially when we have a keep claimed. We also have access to a new type of banner, called the Warrior's Standard. Although we have not set this up yet, it will eventually have it's own set of tactic buffs on it, allowing for up to 6 buffs between the two standards.
The not so good is the ability to upgrade the HP on our keep doors. In theory this is great, as it would give us more time to react to the warning message when one of our claimed keeps was attacked. However as we all know, in the real world we share this server with a bunch of low-life, stinking, cheating exploiters who don't bother with such trivial things as doors on keeps! Instead they prefer to explicitely exploit the game engine to bypass the door altogether and ninja the keep within about 2 minutes.
We sincerely hope that Mythic fix this situation very quickly, although we wont hold our breath. It's been over 6 months since they said they would prevent the keep lords from being pulled to the balcony!
So a mixed bag for us at 18, but if we can ignore the stench of the stinking destro scum for just one second, we might notice a different kind of smell. And that is the smell of Bull, my friends! That's right - we now have guild rank 20 firmly locked in our sights, and it's full steam ahead so that we can proudly show the 'Bull Of Fury and Terror' (c) on our cloaks!
