I'm going to keep updating this post with new information, and new considerations if they pop up.
With Heart Of Thorns around the corner, we as a guild will need to make some decisions on things.
Which of the 2 guild halls do we choose? Gilded Hollow or Lost Precipice.
The new guild halls system open up 2 halls to choose from. An expedition for a hall is 100g, and in theory you can switch between the two but it'll cost 100g every time.
A basic overview of the two based on what I know.
Gilded Hollow is based more on cave like structures, everything is closer together and easier to get to. We see some shots of the Gilded Hollow in the Welcome To Guild Halls trailer, a lot of 1 minute onwards seems to be the Gilded Hollow.
We also see the Gilded Hollow in the Thursday stream although they don't seem to go around the place as much we get a good idea of the feel of the place and a look at the arena.
Lost Precipice, is a very open and much bigger map, you can navigate the hall using gliding, everything is much more spread out. Here is the Wednesday Guild Chat stream, a couple of minutes in they start looking around the Lost Precipice. (It's actually worth watching the whole stream as there's lots of info in this one)
My personal opinion right now is Gilded Hollow, but I think the openness and gliding options for Lost Precipice will alure a lot of the guild. And I'm totally fine with that because both the halls look awesome from what we've seen so far.
How should we spend the remaining influence and merits?
From the guild week stream (one embedded above around 48 minutes in), we have been told influence and merits have been made nearly worthless in HoT. This is due to the fact there are new guild currencies in HoT. It was suggested that investing in banners would be the most efficient way to spend these guild currencies. I know Rugi has been queuing as many upgrades as possible.
We can hold on to the influence and trade in 10,000 for 1 favor, or trade it for Resonance which can be used to speed up other upgrades. It was mentioned that influence trading was being made inefficient. Or we can buy a load of banners with the influence.
Merits don't have any use in HoT, it was suggested during the Guild Chat stream that they should all be spent.
