    Post Guild Bank Review

    Hello everyone,

    I was beyond excited when the guild bank was announced, a good while back there was a "behind the scenes with blue byte" where the Dev's talked with a few guild leaders, among the things discussed was Guild Banks, but only briefly (like the guy said there is the possibility for Guild Ban-" and they moved on lol)


    Well first things first, the looks and the price:

    The Guild Bank looks great! The roof is the same color as the guild house, with doors on the side that look like they are ports for leveling up the building.
    The size is a 1x1 (same as a well) or 2x2 if you want to use flowerbeds scale.

    Price: 5,000 Hard Wood Planks, 5,000 Marble, 3,000 Coins. My Feedback: Lower the price to something like stones and Pinewood Planks. 100 Members? no one is that rich. (and remember the new players who don't have a large coin production line)

    The Time to build is 1 hour, thanks Oabul!

    Once it is built, i click on it and i am given 3 tabs, the first is reserved for Guild Coins only, with a impressive 100M storage for only that tab. (yes 100 million)

    The 2 other tabs Will let me hold several slots of items, which can be upgraded.

    Level 1 tab: Free - - - 1,000 storage per slot (how many slots idk)
    Level 2 tab: 1 Guild Coin or 1 gem - - - 2000 storage per slot
    Level 3 tab: 15,000 Guild coins or 400 gems 3,500 storage per slot
    Level 4 tab: 45,000 Guild Coins or 1,200 gems 5,500 storage per slot
    Level 5? for some reason it wont upgrade, sorry gents.

    Now for some reason i can't figure out how many slots you can have, so a note to BB's, change the information on how much storage per slot to overall storage per tab, or feature both sets of information. (please )

    Adding another tab costs 15,000 guild coins or 400 gems and the price does not rise with each new tab.

    Now on to Transaction History, it contains the last 10 transactions and shows the name, amount and which tab, as well as the date.

    How i feel about it: Its too short. it needs to have more "pages" to it, also the date should include the hour and minute.

    And Finally there is a refresh button, useful if your info needs to be updated.

    Overall impression: Desperately needs to be balanced. With the Jolly Geo at 4K Guild Coins, it is more expensive to operate than a rare item.

    Is it still useful? Yes. While it is nothing more than a extra Trade Office (with a bit of storage) it is still a good feature to add, and hopefully the Dev's have more plans to make this building truly worthwhile. (but ah! what will they be?)

    A quick question for the players, the building is unbalanced, what would you want changed? and how much changed?

    Also, what would you want to add to your guild to make it stand out from other guilds?

    The Biggest question the players have posted yet!

    lol thanks for the half support. i'll keep the other half for later.

    GFM tsotesting is working, and the guild bank is working as well.
    There is a bug where when you spend gems you need to refresh your browser, and the purchase will complete. This could be because of the stress test, or a new bug.

    Shaking my head.....the fact that expense tab allows you to deposit 100 millions guild coins and the other tabs have minuscule limits even after costly upgrades ( 1000-5000 ?) makes me think Oktober Fest has not ended in Germany. Overall interesting idea, but not sure if it is the best implementation.

    it is just another way to absorb resources from players (coins/guild coins); minimal benefits.

    Ty! i will be sure to update.

    Everyone, can you think of some good numbers to make it better? remember that this is the very first test of the building, there is plenty of work yet to be done.
