<p>1 revision imported</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>There appear to be some misconceptions about sub-guilds like rangers,<br /> paladins, necromancers, etc. Some people seem to think the purpose of these<br /> guilds is to be everything that the sub-guild's &quot;base&quot; guild is, plus a lot<br /> of special abilities to make them much cooler, more powerful, or drastically<br /> more interesting. <br /> <br /> That is an extremely erroneous conclusion for many reasons.<br /> <br /> 1) That would be bad game design. If the sub-guilds worked like that people<br /> would never want to be members of the base guild. They would forever feel<br /> gimped or inferior if they were &quot;just a fighter&quot; or &quot;just a mage.&quot; Considering<br /> the fact that these sub-guilds are designed to be small, that would be a<br /> titanically bad situation as it would mean most people would be unhappy with<br /> their guild. If anything, I would be more inclined to make sub-guilds weaker<br /> so as to deter people from wanting to join them unless they REALLY wanted to<br /> play a character with that sub-guilds' theme.<br /> <br /> 2) Nowhere in any help files or documents does it say that these sub-guilds<br /> are better than the base guild, nor do any help files say the sub-guilds have<br /> a lot of unique abilities. <br /> <br /> 3) The sub-guilds are all designed for role play purposes. That is why they<br /> have extremely difficult and time-consuming role play requirements to get<br /> into them. The focus is on the RP, not powergaming.<br /> <br /> 4) Guild balance would be shot to hell if there were guilds that were <br /> deliberately or intentionally more powerful than other guilds. Characters in<br /> those guilds would have advancement or PK advantages that would really screw<br /> up guild balance. That would be an enormously bad thing.<br /> <br /> If you wish to pursue membership in a sub-guild, you should be doing so for<br /> 100% role play motivations. You should not be doing so to get special or<br /> fancy powers. You should not be doing it to be &quot;different&quot; from people in<br /> the base guild you are currently a part of. Rangers or Paladins who seek<br /> that guild so they can be different, cooler, more powerful, or more<br /> interesting than a fighter are NOT the types of people who deserve to join<br /> those sub-guilds. In fact, people who make character evolution decisions for<br /> those reasons are powergamers, not role players, and that type of behavior<br /> is not acceptable on Threshold.<br /> <br /> ==Subguilds in Threshold==<br /> * [[Necromancers]]<br /> * [[Paladins]]<br /> * [[Rangers]]<br /> * [[Templars]]</div>
