Warcraft After Cataclysm. The Changes to WoW Guilds We Can Expect.
At a recent press conference, Blizzard unveiled the positive changes that we can expect to see with Warcraft Guilds. Introducing new ideas and features.
Most aspects of WoW progression are regularly tweaked by Blizzard. It\’s good to see that guilds are finally getting some much needed love.
These changes affect the whole way guilds operate, and for that matter co-operate. And frankly it\’s fantastic news.
Logging on for the first time after patch 4.0 the first changes you might notice is a whole new GUI for guilds. Now showing your guilds progress through the instances, and its proud new showcase of guild achievements. (And the achievement points that will go with them).
If you are in a big well known guild such as WoW Defiance or WoW Relentless, you will see the legendaries you have acquired displayed prominently. Guild \”realm firsts\” etc. There will be a CSS style news feed ticker running that will give all the latest news from your recent instance runs. Right down to prominent loots and level ups.
One area that I was particularly pleased to see was a system of bonus payments from loots being paid directly into the guild bank. I don\’t know about you, but paying my 5g a day does get a little irksome. So this new system will stop that. You can allocate guild \”talent points3 to a loot bonus that will increase the value and amount of loot you get, but this \”extra\” will be credited straight into your guild bank. Leaving you with the same amount you would always have had.
Lastly, professions are having a nice extra. You will be able to link directly into guild members professions (right down to the item level if that member is on line) No need to shout \”Can someone link me Enchanting\”, just check your guild tab and see who your enchanters are.
Their are even achievements for guilds that have maxxed out all professions. These additions to WoW progression make welcome news. It shows that both social gaming is being taken seriously, and that Blizzard is looking carefully at the current balance of professions in game. If WoW\’s ascent is to last this is an issue that needed to be addressed.
Great news for Warcraft gamers all round.
