I understand the successor can usurp...
Question: Can't you name another character - on the same account as the character who is set as leader - as successor? Or is there a check which prevents this? Otherwise it would add some days before the possibility to usurp goes to the the officers.

Read post #25 now.

It seems there’s a low awareness to this, so I’ll mention it here: please note if you’re in a guild currently that it was already possible for your guild to be usurped by the successor after 2 weeks of inactivity by the leader. There are some cases where there was some broken functionality for the successor. -Tolero


This is true.  My guild has had the option to ursup from Kist/Thet several times over the last 5 years due to military or simply me levelling another alternate character.

However, I don't have a dooshbag Successor so he only does it when I ask him to.  Actually I asked him to when I went to Iraq and he refused and just let it ride.  So that brings the question to this new system...

Isn't it a little to fast on giving the reigns to freak'n non-officer members?

In a time of war this might be a good thing (a Code of Conduct for a Video Game world if you will), but that would have to be a very special event in DDO and the Guild Leader Position would have to mean something (for instance, Guilds flying an epic fight in the air with airships and requires Leader/Successor in order to operate -- both MIA).  If this was the case, the need for a member to take the reigns would be supreme after x-days.

But.... I'm a believer in the hierarchy and have steadily climbed a ladder in a real military from enlisted to officer.  I believe that good leaders do not place officers lightly in their ranks.  The new ursup mechanism should not enable standard members to take over a guild so quickly -- especially if the guild level is incredibly high.

Function should rewrite like this:

Successor:  Take guild over at .35 days * Guild Level.
Officers:     Take guild over at .7 days * Guild Level + 2 weeks.
Members:     Take guild over at 1 day * Guild Level + 2 weeks. (Highest level guilds where this matters most take longest to be taken over by a standard member)

Yes, if you know of your intentions not to be on that toon ahead of time.  I've done this many times, and even changed leadership among my accounts, but the basic problem is NOT that the successor can usurp, nor even the officers, but that a newly invited member can, if invited at the "right" time, log on and hit a fucking button and wham bam thank you ma'am you have a new guild leader with no chance of return.

Oh, and thanks so much for those of you who did +Rep me...it has ALMOST equalled the amount of -Rep I've received.

So, if any of you -Repped me, have the balls to say so to my face and don't fucking stealth nuke me you two-faced shit-eating bastards.


Well it wasn't me, I'm still on timer from the last time I negged you  Tongue. I kid I kid. But I am on timer though.

Not for nothing but if someone usurped Loreseekers I wouldn't want to see the NUKING that would happen. And I'm not talking about a Hordo nuking, I'm thinking the officers. Anyone who did it would have to have some serious family jewels. And that is why I am so against members being able to do it because I can 100% (unless I got a bad read on any of the officers) say NOT ONE OFFICER is usurping if it got to the point they could. Members on the other hand I can't be so sure.



star please.

Because it's Turbine...that's how they do everything.  They re-act and then rush some shit out rather then be proactive .  They put in guild ships and renown but never bothered to think through all the ramifications of tying up real dollars in ships, amenities, renown, and such.

So now they rush out a half assed solution without really thinking it through...

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

My wife's got your back on this one at the O-Forms.  User name is stainer and can rep -- anonymous purchases ftw via TP cards!  Hit me up via PM for details on stainer.

The Keep Loyal Feature plus the selective process Tolero just mentioned that they *might* be able to code (succession permission at guild ranking and then Time in Service -- longest gets option first before new recruit) would fix the perfect storm from happening to an all but dead guild.

Hmm, looks like they're settling for giving only the successor to usurp...

as an officer in a currently headless guild, can't say I'm thrilled. But I understand people's concerns about usurpation.
