If the guild passive skills are insane 40 players guilds(4x40 160 player alliances) will be the way to go.
If the guild passive skills are trash 300 players guilds(4x300 1200 players alliances) will be the way to go.
I will find the meta in between those numbers and their mix.
My expectations? I do believe Guild passive skills will be reasonably close to insanity...
As for my personal preference? I'm more fond of Quality over Quantity and prefer do lead/deal with a small number of Elite Organized Groups rather than a Mindless Zerg.
Aren't we all sinners?
In games similiar to AoC you tend to find any alliance of about 100 players tend to implode after about 1 month and break appart again
I think Mercenary guilds will be a key part of Ashes. Well organized fighters with no home or allegiances to get in the way!
not true at all. that depends on the people playing. also, I've seen more drama and guilds disbanding when they are small
Assuming about 1/3 are active at same time as you, it feels about right. Feels small enough that you know those 1/3 of members and that you interact with them on a regular basis, yet large enough to do stuff when needed and when everyone gets online.
bonus points for having alliances with similar guilds
Anything close to 100 and over is just not my type of thing, you start feeling more and more "irrelevant" the larger the number.
And I think we will find that this will be a much more popular concept than taking care of a freehold or protecting a Node that made a lot of enemies outside its ZOI.
There is something inspiring about a massive group of hundreds under the same banner, but it comes to mean a lot less when you realize a vision capable of drawing that many people together is often less distinct and meaningful. I would rather be in a group where, even if I’m not in direct one-on-one contact with all the members on a regular basis, we all know each other’s names and how we contribute to our shared goals.
