Guild Accolades

The new Guild Accolades system is an achievement based system rewarded to guilds completing various achievements over the course of the Guild War.

In this patch, there will be 4 guild accolades guilds can compete for. Each of them will reward the guild with a multiplier towards their Guild Point score at the end of the Guild War.

The Guild Accolades will not display other guilds' progression, therefore guilds will not be able to compare their progression to other guilds. Only at the end of the Guild War will each guild know if they have won the accolade prize.

Accolade List

The 4 accolades being introduced are as follows:

1. Guild Mission 300 Mode

Example

1. To give an example, let's imagine the 'Progress' guild has 1,000,000 GP nearing the end of the Guild War and the 'Slow' guild has 1,700,000 GP.

2. The Guild War ends, the 'Progress' guild also has the highest Guild Mission 300 level and earns the +80% GP accolade. The 'Slow' guild has not earned any accolades this week.

3. The 'Progress' guild will now have 1,800,000 GP, beating the 'Slow' guild's 1,700,000 GP and earning the 'Progress' guild 1st place.

4. All accolade scores will reset to 0 and the new Guild War begins.

Commands

• @guild accolade - Shows your guild's current progression with Accolades via the Chat Box.

Closing thoughts

This system was something we wanted to introduce to the game for a long time. Many players spoke to us regarding a new way for Mission 300 to be a viable way to compete in Guild Wars. We also always wanted a way for guilds to compete in PVP in a competitive manner that rewarded them.

We hope you all enjoy this new system, it took us a lot of planning and work to complete but we're glad it's here!
