Just a simple guild leader coming to the community to find out everyone’s opinion on Surge.
Are the days of requiring surge over?
Should guilds require surge or should they focus more on simply playing the game and having fun?
My main purpose for coming to the community with these questions is due to the fact that I have experienced many people leaving my guild for those that do not require surge. I have also noticed those guilds rising in rank.
It depends on individual guilds. Surges are important for gaining influence which is very crucial for young guilds. And more so for young players (they reap more benefits from the perks).
As the guild and players grow, they tend to be less reliant on the perks and therefore you will see a shift in attitude. It will reach a point where players (especially high ranking ones) will feel that surge is more of a chore. It is at this point that players leave in search of a more active (or fun) guild. The alternative is for them leave the game.
Up to each individual guild obviously.
But surge is currently the only true teamwork aspect of the game, that’s why I like it and it needs to be important for the guild I choose to be a part of.
Rewards are great too, a daily boost of gold, surge tokens and influence to get more/better perks.
More perks will no doubt be released in time too so I would want to keep it flowing and keep the surge momentum up.
