Guild League
Last Update: April 24, 2024
The Guild League content has been updated. The Guild League is a PvP content where guilds compete in 15 vs 15 battles. Once the league starts, guilds that have applied to participate will be paired for matches, and thereafter, up to 15 guild members who wish to fight can participate and battle with the matched guild.
This Guild League has been prepared with a desire to make PvP more accessible and enjoyable. We understand that solo play can be intimidating, and we want to highlight the importance of teamwork. We hope that the thrill of banding together with your guildmates, coordinating your strategies, and taking on rival guilds will add a whole new layer of enjoyment to the PvP experience. We also hope that this will spark an interest in those guilds yet to dip their toes into the world of combat and PvP. Additionally, we're working on rewarding those guilds that demonstrate exceptional teamwork and prowess.
- Introduced the new PvP content, Guild League.

Guild League - Match Results

Guild League - Rankings
- Rankings in the Guild League are determined by the Guild League points obtained.
-
- When the Guild League first starts, you start with 400 points.
-
- When you win or lose in the Guild League, your score changes according to the result, and matches are made based on the score range.
| Ranking Points | |||
| Win: +20 ranking points | Loss: -15 ranking points | ||
* Based on the ranking point range, a bonus and adjustment system is applied to the points obtained.
| 401 - 800 points | Win: Earn an additional 3 points, Loss: Adjust by 3 points | ||
| - Win: Base earned ranking points 20 + additional 3 = +23 points | |||
| - Loss: Base deducted ranking points 15 - adjustment 3 = -12 points | |||
| 0 - 400 points | Win: Earn an additional 5 points, Loss: Adjust by 5 points | ||
| - Win: Base earned ranking points 20 + additional 5 = +25 points | |||
| - Loss: Base deducted ranking points 15 - adjustment 5 = -10 points | |||
Dormancy Penalty
If you do not participate in matches for a certain period within a specific score range, your score will be periodically deducted based on the score range.
| 1,601 points or more | Non-participation in a match for 5 days results in a 50 points deduction every 2 days. | ||
| 1,201 to 1,600 points | Non-participation in a match for 5 days results in a 40 points deduction every 2 days. | ||
| 801 to 1,200 points | Non-participation in a match for 5 days results in a 30 points deduction every 2 days. | ||
For example, if you achieved 1,700 points and played your last match on Jan 1, but did not play for 5 days until Jan 6, ranking points will be deducted on Jan 8, which is 2 days later.

* The regular season of the Guild League will be announced later through a notice. During the trial match period, the Guild League scores will be reset once during Feb 14 (Wed) maintenance.
Following the Guild League's launch on Feb 7 in global regions, we've seen enthusiastic participation. To improve the experience, we're refining the matchmaking system based on trial period data.
The goal is to allow more skilled top guilds to quickly ascend to the upper echelons of the scoreboards, fostering more thrilling matches. At the same time, for guilds aspiring to grow together, we aim to offer opportunities to continue enjoying the fun of team play and battles.
During the trial period, to better tune the matching system for a more prolonged and enjoyable experience, rankings will be reset weekly. This reset, however, means that matches between top and bottom guilds may occur more frequently. To address this, we've made temporary adjustments to the points gained or lost per match, ensuring that, over time, guilds of similar levels are more likely to be matched as the number of matches increases.
Your active participation is invaluable in shaping a better system and delivering more enjoyable content. We appreciate your support and look forward to bringing you more engaging content. Thank you.

We've added 2 battlefields for the Guild League with today's update. This will allow you to enjoy the league in a different environment and to refresh the feel of the existing Navarn Steppe and Heidel Northen Guard Camp maps.

The matching system of the Guild League has been improved.
We first changed the score range of groups used for matching, which will allow a more fine-tuned matching between guilds of the same skill levels. We've also addressed an issue where high-scoring guilds often found no matches due to the score range.
With the above changes, we expect higher scoring guilds to have better matching and lower scoring guilds to find guilds that are at similar skill levels to allow them to earn more points as they improve.
There are also changes to basic and adjusted points, and inactivity penalty ranges. After these changes go live, there won't be any score resets during the trial period until further notice.
Lastly, we're continuously checking feedback on Guild League battlefields. Please note that battlefields for Guild League are subject to change during the trial period.

Following the optimization of loading speeds, we are carefully reviewing content occurring in the same locations, like the Guild League and Red Battlefield. We have adjusted the Strong Protection effect, which provides a safe buffer for battle preparations after resurrection, to accommodate loading times across various PC environments. Additionally, we've fine-tuned the effect's duration to maintain its intended efficacy, even with the improved loading speeds.
- Changed the duration of Strong Protection effect applied upon resurrection: 10 sec → 5 sec.
- Fixed the description of the reward boxes obtained based on the results to be more natural.
We are preparing for the regular season of the Guild League. Before the regular season, we will be checking the participation status and trends, play style, and records of adventurers so far. Based on this, we plan to adjust the rules and reward scale for the regular season along with additional improvements.
We have seen indications that many guilds, excluding the top guilds, are struggling to gather the maximum number of 15 members. Considering that new guilds also have difficulty participating due to the number of members required, we plan to reduce the maximum number to 10 for trial matches.
With a decrease in participant numbers, some guilds may dislike the changes in the scale and aspects of the Guild League. So, this will be a temporary change during the trial match period, which is intended to provide more interesting matches with many more guilds. We will work hard to prepare a more polished and balanced regular season based upon various data collected during the trials.
- Changed the maximum number of participants temporarily.
| Before | After | ||
| 10 min - 15 max | 7 min - 10 max |
* During the trial period, changes due to the differing number of participants will be identified, which will be used when determining the participants needed and reward scale for the regular season.
- Changed the following for match registration and penalty application due to the temporary change in the maximum number of participants.
- Changed the minimum number of guild members needed to register for matchmaking from 10 → 7.
- If matchmaking is complete but the number of remaining guild members waiting is less than 10 → 7, the match will be considered as defeat, end, and one penalty will be given.
- If the number of participants during the Guild League is less than 5 → 3, the match will be considered as defeat, end, and one penalty will be given.
- Changed so that if you stay within the resurrection area (fog) for a certain period of time, you will be moved into the battlefield.
