The changes to guilds and especially guild missions sound really good, at least to the vague extent they were talked about in the recent post, so good on that!

However, the part about the new currency, “Favor,” and its relation to upgrades and influence was (intentionally?) severely lacking in detail. I’m wondering if these mechanics will be available in any of the betas, or if we’ll get more information about Favor before release?

The reason I ask is that, without knowing more it’s possible that Favor will be very hard to come by for very small guilds, if it only comes from missions and missions still require numbers to complete. In that case, it may be better for us to sink gold into influence now to finish our upgrade tiers. Or, on the other hand, maybe upgrades will be irrelevant and it would be a huge waste of money.

This would be a bad thing to have just drop on us at launch, don’t you think?
