Update 2.1 - The Guilds Update - Arrives!

Greetings Matchers,

This update brings massive enhancements to Guilds to make them more cooperative than ever! See below for a full list of changes.

Guilds

* The cost for creating a new guild has been increased to 25,000 gold from 1,000.

Guild Overview Tab
* All your guild stats are arranged along the top
* There are 6 Guild Statues with levels, one for each Gem Mastery
* Each Guild Statue gives a series of bonuses based on its level. You can view these bonuses by tapping on the “?” button under each statue.
* Statues gain XP/Levels as people donate to the respective colored tasks
* Guild Management button has been moved to the Top Left corner

Guild Task Tab
* 6 Tasks, one for each statue, each one increasing in cost & reward during the week. Each one with different rewards.
* Contribution popup now has the option to “complete” a task immediately
* Completed tasks now mail out rewards to ALL guild members (including the player completing it)
* Complete ALL tasks for a color in a week to gain a 7-day skill bonus unique to that color. E.g., RED = +3 Attack for all troops for 7 days. The durations stack.

Guild Seals Tab
* Here you can see any Guild Seals you’ve earned. Tasks that generate Guild Seals are all listed, along with their value.
* Click CLAIM ALL to get all your earned seals
* Individual Seal contributions are capped at 1500 per week, though the cap is raised if you purchase guild seals from the shop.
* On the right you see how your Guild Chest upgrades as the Guild Members earn seals

Guild Shop Tab
* You can purchase 3 items… each one gives you extra SEALS, and also gives Guild Keys to all guild members (including yourself)

Guild Roster Tab
* Our new roster shows everything without tabs, and also lets you sort the guild on a number of things
* Tapping the “menu” button on a guild member, opens a small popup menu that lets you perform actions on them

Guild League Tab
* Functions exactly like the old one except that there are a bunch of new Leagues to progress through, all with bigger gold bonuses.

Guild Chests
* Guild Chests are accessible from the Chest Menu. (They live between Event and VIP chests.)
* Openable with Guild Seals (or Keys obtained from guildmates making guild purchases)
* Only place to unlock Guild Guardians, which drop from 50% of all Guild Keys you use.

Guild Guardians
* Guild Guardians start off as Common Troops
* Guardians possess strong support spells
* Require EXTRA Traitstones to upgrade
* Scale REALLY hard in levels 16-20 to the equivalent of a mythic in stats
* As they are special troops, they have a unique 3rd trait similar to Legendary cards

Player Level Cap

* Player level cap has been raised from 1,000 to 10,000.
* Players will gain one more Skill point every 100 levels up to 2,000.
* Players receive an event key in the mail for each level they get over 1,000.

Kingdom Power Stars

* With more troops being added to kingdoms, we’ve increased the number of Stars you can earn.
* Currently kingdoms can reach 7 Stars (if they have enough troops).
* We will unlock more Stars in the future as the number of troops in each kingdom increases.

New Kingdom Coming Soon: Dragon’s Claw

* While it is yet to be available, keep an eye out for the next kingdom - Dragon’s Claw.
* Dragon’s Claw should be released some time later this week.

Other

* VIP levels now go to level 15. As before, each level gives new benefits.
* Players can now access the Chat overlay from any screen, including in the middle of a battle.

Major Bug Fixes

* Fixed it so players with the same name can now join the same guild.

New Known Issues

* The image for the Souls bonus in the purple Guild Statue is incorrect (shows XP star instead of Souls icon).
* If you purchase from the guild shop, your maximum Seal cap for the week increases, but that increase takes a short time to show in the Guild Menu (you often have to leave the menu and re-enter it)
