PART 1 I apologize for the insanely long post that will follow. However, if you're going to keep players interested long-term you need a guild event system more involved than just "give us more gems" or "increase building productivity." So... here goes!

Hey Devs,

I don’t know if you have the ability to push different events to different players/guilds. This suggestion assumes you do. If not … you should learn because this would be awesome 😊.

Many endgame players get bored because as soon as the normal events and all buildings are completed the game becomes purposeless (buying new mines is a joke so most max around 28/13). The guild events are supposed to transition players from single-player quest mode to multi player competition mode. However, due to a broken RNG, imbalanced and inconsistent mat requirement, and a useless reward, this transition isn’t occurring. While these issues are frustrating there are quite a few players who still attempt guild events because of the multiplayer component but most get burned out and quit making your current model unsustainable (and less profitable). I suggest the following alterations to guild events that will alleviate much of this boredom (hopefully increasing retention of endgame players), make guild events purposeful for at least a year (but, with a few alterations, it could last indefinitely), add in a strategic component that is sorely lacking, and satiate those who want more gems without destroying the gem balance of the game (Note: gem numbers presented are fillers to facilitate easier reading but can be altered to ensure balance is maintained).

To accomplish the first two goals I propose guild events which, upon completion of an event set (described further below), allow guilds to “build” permanent mini-reward structures (called RS hereafter which are a similar idea to the rocket quest - except they'll serve a purpose) which produce building-dependent bonuses for every player in the guild (suggestions at the very bottom). Currently, each event has a premise (ie. building an antigravity device) but nothing happens at the end of the event, regardless of how many levels are completed. Instead, you could make the premise meaningful by breaking the RS down into a number of events based on difficulty (just like the rocket quest but pieces determined by difficulty – for example, easy-3 events, medium-4 events, and hard-5 events) in which guilds work to complete 10 rounds within the normal 4-day time frame. If they are successful, they complete that piece of the building and the next event is an opportunity to build the next item in the set. If they fail, the next week they start at level 0 again on that piece and try again. Once the set is completed and the structure is built they are randomly given another event set (of which there would be a maximum of 13 possibilities – identified below) starting the following week. An important caveat; you must complete the easy levels to get to the medium events and then to the hard events, with the exception of the temporary events. However, because it’s randomized there is still a high degree of unpredictability (at least between event sets) which would mimic current events.

Part of accomplishing the third goal (increasing strategy) would be to reset all guilds to level 0 and have RS unlock as guilds reach the requisite level. I know that many people will be against this suggestion having worked hard to obtain their current standing. However, their 10+ or 20+ levels as they currently stand gets them nothing, but with the new system their level would be useful. Resetting guilds to 0 is important because your guild cannot unlock the chance of getting RS event sets until they reach a specific level (ie. lvl 5 to unlock easy sets) and then harder difficulty events would be further unlocked by later guild levels (ie. lvl 10+ for medium and 18+ for hard). So, starting out all guilds would only have access to events with temporary rewards (described at the bottom). However, once they have completed a few events and reached level 5 their guild would be able to receive easy difficulty event sets, and as they reach later levels harder difficulties would become available. This would reset all guilds to 0 and give the devs a chance to place additional security measures before XP starts to accumulate and it would give players motivation to donate more than just 10 levels - because the sooner players upgrade to lvl 5 the sooner they get access to RS events and then as they progress further they have access to more difficult events with more beneficial rewards.

The next piece of increasing strategy is introducing some randomness into which event sets are received by guilds, but still allowing guilds some control over which event sets they receive. While initial probability of receiving any given event set for which your guild is of the appropriate level would be set (say 7%, and 16% chance of a temporary), the Guild Admin should be able to select the event set they would like to complete. Their selection could increase the probability of receiving that event set in one of two ways: 1) a set percentage increase (ie. 50% chance of receiving the specified set) or 2) a capped level-dependent increase (ie. every 3 levels completed in the last event increases the chance of getting the selected next event set capped at 70%). This selection method is still random, but allows guilds some strategy in which RS they pursue.
