Hey all,

To try and keep on top of Clan stuff I want to make this thread where we can discuss all things Clans.

Truth be told Discord can be a bit of a pain to keep up with and with there being two seperate Discords it makes it that much more difficult.

So first point of discussion from yours truly.

Add a Clan Broadcast that is sent to all members when reaching the Clan's resource goal for that skill plot?

And also

Add a Clan Broadcast that is sent to all members when all resource goals have been met?

To give you a visual example of how it'd look to your Clan if that broadcast went through


Chat away! And feel free to create other discussion points, etc

I wouldn't want a clanwide broadcast.
I often set goals to upkeep first. Then when that is met (plots are unlocked), I set new goals for guild orfers/upgrades.
If people see a clan broadcast that everything is unlocked, they may get false hope. I tend to manually lock plots that we don't need resources from for build orders
We know our upgrades can take several weeks, so we do upkeep first. Then calculate upgrades after depending on how many we expect up in the week.
I've tried it the other way too, calculating upkeep and upgrades together, but too often we've had people do overkill on 1 resource, and then we're short on another

If the majority of people want it, I won't object. But it is something I'd rather not have for the way our clan operates.

This is why, personally I think having a goal for each resource that tells the Clan is done is ideal, just means that you don't have to check/ask yourself and can see it straight away :)

Thanks for this Shauny, hopefully everyone can speak without fear of reprisal.

I agree with broadcasts but maybe set up similarly to existing broadcasts that can go to specific ranks.

If this was done, that'd be exactly how it is done :)

We do have goals for each resource. But we have to estimate based on how many we're expecting up at the citadel. If I set goals for upkeep and upgrades together in 1 go, and calculate 15 people to work, that would be fine if all 15 show up. But if some have finals in school or other life commitments and we only get 10 up, then the plots get lopsided. I might have 1500 ore and only 500 charcoal. That means only 500 bars instead of the 1500 I was counting on, and the rest of the ore just spoils.

I know it works differently from clan to clan, but for mine I find it easier to trust a few admins to check throughout the week and adjust goals upward as more people can make it up to do their share.

I should mention also if enough like this and I do it you can toggle this broadcast off entirely or you can even rank limit it so they don't have to see it, your call on that one :)

A toggle would be a great option, thank you!

I just really didn't want people getting the wrong impression that full goals for the week were met and they didn't need to do anymore, or that they could skill any any plot once the message was broadcast.

See what you think


Looks awesome - Since you are working on broadcasts, there is something which has bothered me for years...when you manually lock the Kiln plot (firemaking plot) you get the broadcast [Player A] has locked the Furnace in the citadel. Can that be changed to 'Kiln' please?
