Guild Faction Change Service, How does it work in 10.1?

[Shipman-emerald-dream]

If I were to use the Guild Faction Change service, how does it work in 10.1?

The service states that it “changes your guild master character and the guild entity to the opposite faction.” And that “your guildmates will be able to follow you by doing their own Faction Changes.”

Does using this service wipe out my guild and I’ll have to reinvite everyone since it used to? Do people have to “follow” even though we have cross-faction guilds now? I’m curious what happens since I want to change my guild master character’s faction but want him to also remain guild master with the least amount of trouble

With cross faction guilds currently in play, it should allow them to retain their position in the guild and would merely have to pay for a faction change if they want to be the same faction as you.

This should give you the information you need. Also keep in mind that the guild leader must be the same faction as the guild.

Guild Services

Some things to remember with cross-faction guilds:

• Guild affiliation with the Alliance or Horde will depend on the faction of the Guild Leader, and guild achievements and vendors will still reflect the guild’s primary faction.
• Guild members of the opposite faction will benefit from unlocked shared perks but cannot contribute to specific achievements. As an example, Alliance members of a Horde guild could not contribute progress towards the “Alliance Slayer” guild achievement.
• Guild repairs and social conveniences, like shared chat, will be available to opposite-faction guild members.
• Players must be Battle.net friends or part of the same Battle.net community to invite or receive an invitation to an opposite-faction guild on the same realm.

Vrak followed up in another thread with this:

@Vrakthris

The Guild Faction Change service still works the same, so when initiated it will still create a placeholder guild.

As noted in the article Sendryn linked, you’ll lose progress on incomplete achievements. Your guild bank will go with.

Along with everything else that the others have listed… Assuming they don’t wish to faction change, they otherwise should be able to join the new version of the guild by leaving the placeholder guild and joining the new version of it.

they otherwise should be able to join the new version of the guild by leaving the placeholder guild and joining the new version of it.

If they choose to do this, would their guild reputation be reset? Or would it be restored in the “new” guild on the destination faction?

[Vrakthris]

I can’t find anything specific calling it out, so I’m not sure if the devs were able to update how that works.

I believe it is technically considered a different guild, so guild reputation will likely be lost. Though if someone experiences something different and can update the thread, that would probably help those going forward.

[Shipman-emerald-dream]

I currently have to service going through, will update with that information.

so guild reputation will likely be lost.

You should only lose one level of guild reputation.

My Monk lost 1 guild rank when leaving and joining the new version of the guild, 0/21000 Revered.
