First off, I do not know if this has been suggested before, so if it has; my apologies, you can ignore me now!

But anyway, I was thinking the other day, about how hard it is to level a coven, and how annoying that attacking other members gives you less blood, then hunting does. So I was thinking, why not have a setting in a players 'account settings' that allows the player in question to donate whatever % (5, 20, 50 100% etc.) of blood they receive from hunting, to their coven?

Much like how a coven owner can dictate how much blood gets donated to the coven from attacking other players, except the players themselves get to nominate a figure of their choosing. That way;

A) The coven's have a better chance of levelling,

and;

B) The members could be in control of their blood donations (from only hunting of course).

I don't know how well it would work, but it's better then only being able to attack members in order to level a coven.

So, any thoughts, or comments?

I think this is a good idea.

why not? since the member who will decide how much they willing to give or take from hunting human...

I like this idea a lot. I personally do not like attacking right now. I've spent time training in order to reach people worth killing (Those that are my level and higher), and because of a game mechanic that I think is bogus, I lose to people who have 50 or more LESS vitality than myself, just because they are higher rank. That is a good way to get us to not attack people. Give those high levels protection. So I hunt more often than not, expect now I am a coven owner and want to level it, and have no decent way. Even at 100% tax going to my coven, every day I can only gain about 50k exp for the coven. And when you need a couple million to level it, it takes forever. I'd love to see this to help those who want to help the coven.

I too, love this idea. As I have only recently become 'active' on this site I have the privilege of viewing it through fresh eyes. Our coven is new and as such ranking it would be first priority but with my pathetic stats I have not much to offer in way of battle given blood. However I have begun hunting quite a bit so if that were an applicable way of assisting with the development of the coven then I'm all in. [y]

The problem I see with this is that high-powered players could earn way more blood doing this than most current covens could combined. It wouldn't be very balanced or fair to a majority of the players and covens.

Sure, they earned their high stats, and they deserve the rewards. But, if blood from hunting went towards covens, then 2 or 3 covens would benefit FAR more than the rest of us would.

I like the idea, but maybe a cap should be placed on it. Only a certain amount of blood per day could be donated to your coven through hunting.

Like you said Nilos. We with higher stats earnt/bought our right to more blood, so technically if you have a problem with this idea/suggestion. Then you are pretty much saying -in my opinion- that you have a problem with the fact that higher/stronger members are able to gain more blood from killing.

No, I don't have any problems with high-stat players. No matter how they earned them, fact is they earned them. That's not what this is about at all.

I only mean to keep the covens in fair competition. It was my understanding that those players with high stats earn much more blood through hunting than attacking. I can't say I know that from personal experience, that is only what I have heard.

Perhaps a cap is not the way to go. What if instead there were certain 'Coven Quests' that members could complete to earn blood for their coven? They would work like our own quests, but the rewards would be purely for the coven. Make the reward a percentage based on coven level, so covens are rewarded for activity.

I like the general idea of more ways to earn blood for your coven, but I'm thinking now that hunting isn't the way to do it.

Very true. But with attacking, the amount of blood they earn is limited to how often they kill. Basically every 30 minutes if they use vials. And there aren't a lot of players with that high of a level.

With hunting, you just spam the refresh button 700 times and voila, tons of blood, money, and souls in 2 minutes. Since there isn't a cap on how high you can hunt (I'm NOT saying there should be), if you get your stats high enough you can earn way more blood hunting than by attacking. That wouldn't be available to most players, hence my wariness of this suggestion. It appeals to the minority, not the majority, and Scot should be focusing on the majority if he wants this game to grow.

If you look above though, there is a player that is in support of this suggestion, that a s he states, has shitty stats. Yeah granted the higher members would be able to gain more blood then most (if they actually used this feature, hello theres a chance they wouldn't remember), but as I have found with allot of weaker players. They still get more blood from hunting than attacking. So yeah, maybe it'll work in favor for the stronger players.. But it'll give those weaker a chance to participate, too!
