Thank you very much.

… ./sigh.

And this is why I don’t tend to engage with the community much. In my last post I literally said that understand how it works and if things stay as they are, I will find a guild with the least social / effort requirements and abuse the system that way to get the buffs if I want them. That means no discord if I can help it, and no community interaction if I can help it.

All I’m saying is that I prefer my socialising to be done when it suits me. The system currently under testing seems like a great first step towards people management, but also pushes players to join guild they didn’t want to have to, and then proceed to ignore all the work that’s gone into guild development and use them just to get the buffs. When there are ways to make a system that doesn’t have that flaw, I’m going to point them out.

Still, that concludes my presence in this thread. If that still doesn’t adequately deliver my point of view, I don’t have the patience for any more attempts.

Hey, i got some questions about this whole thing
since i cant get it from the text i would like to ask, maybe some ppl figured this out.

what happens when i algin a beacon to a guild, can then the guildmaster if he got a bad day take all my stuff? =D
can i also decide wich permissions i give to the guild?

would it be possible to be in a guild, have a guild settlement, have a private home that is aligned to the guild settlement but not give any permissions to the guild or guild leader?

if this is not possible (align home to guild, but dont give rights) than it will be very hard to put a bigger town togheter when the ppl dont want to align theyr beacons to guild because they maybe dont thrust the ppl in the guild so much…

How I understood these beacon options when checking it on test server there were two options on owned beacon

You align your beacon to guild but keep managing rights
You give full control of beacon to guild, permissions are related by guild settings.

you are just who we are looking for! =D

The Guild of the Infinite wants YOU! General

In preparation for the upcoming Guilds update, we are going to start taking down in-game names for members and hopefully get a jump start when it hits! How do I join? Easy! Just go to the Guild of the Infinite discord @ https://discord.gg/usjcGaG , and leave your in-game name! As soon as the update drops, you’ll be invited! (If you don’t have discord, just leave your name here, or PM me) What do I have to do in the Guild? We of The Infinite Infinity believe that choices are infinite. So, do wh…

cool thnakies
that helps =)

Evoshade · 2018-12-16T13:04:32.251Z

Sound conflicting tho, can a builder from the guild build on your guild alligned plot (without permission from you)?

almund · 2018-12-16T13:13:02.686Z

Yes, because when you give full permissions to guild you lose use of beacon permission list. I see it as donating plotted area for guild.
But keeping personal beacons on aligned state is enough to keep it counting prestige to guild on same settlement. (You keep managing permissions list yourself)
This is how I understood system so if I misunderstood current system please someone correct me

Stretchious · 2018-12-16T13:15:37.363Z

You got it, perfect

PiratenBraut · 2018-12-16T14:35:53.696Z

ye @Jiivita

Lol my game crashes everytime I join the test servers… I think it has something to do with the guild machines =/

Client Crash on Testing Post Hot-fix Community Support

Any of my accounts that had previously joined the 210 test servers prior to the hot fix crashes within a few seconds after entering the sanctum now. This happens on both my PC and laptop. (several crash dumps sent from both) I’ve deleted my chuck cache and verified the integrity of the game files through steam to no avail Accounts that had not been on the 210 test servers can join without crashing i guess another way to look at that is that only my accounts that are not pa…

I might have to make do on a different account and hope the same doesn’t happen to it.

AeneaGames · 2018-12-16T15:07:27.919Z

And is it possible to be one guild but have multiple settlements and be spread out on either the same planet or many planets?

Can then each settlement have their own copy of the machines?

Do you need 4 blocks of the same machine to form one working one like with the other machines in the game? If so why do the crafts make such weird number of blocks? 5/20/100, why 5? Why not 4?

MysticPandora · 2018-12-16T18:28:05.701Z

I can’t remember if this was brought up already:

Can you align a beacon to a guild that’s on another planet/location, or does it have to be within “settlement range.”

If a player aligns their beacon, then decides to leave for whatever reason, can they take their beacon and plots back?

Gorillastomp · 2018-12-16T18:45:01.458Z

Helixes are 5 multiblocks high.

kernal · 2018-12-16T21:03:21.522Z

You can align any of your Beacons, no matter the location, to any Guild you are a member of.

The owner of the Beacon is always the owner of the Beacon. The plots are still owned by the player. You can un-align your Beacon at anytime.

MysticPandora · 2018-12-16T21:36:19.322Z

Sounds awesome! Def relieves some worries. Thanks!

Lynxdragon · 2018-12-16T22:16:03.389Z

Its bloody maddening sometimes.

@james Can we get some confirmation about reserving guild names. I cannot seem to find a list of perks associated with founder packs any more. But I seem to recall founders getting to reserve their guild names before the general playerbase? Is this true and if so, how is this happening?

I don’t really want to have to experience wars over guild names and trading guild names.

Salvatory:

I don’t know if this is counter-intuitive to this whole update… but as a shopper, that popup of the city/guild info is really annoying when looking at shop baskets… can we have a flag to remove it?

Looking at an entity should simply stop showing the settlement / world notice.

Salvatory · 2018-12-17T01:11:56.101Z

Ok, will try that - but normally I’d see something I want to buy in a portal, enter the portal looking at it, and have to wait for that message cooldown - there is about 30ms where you see the entity details (price etc), and then the settlement popin.
