A button to disable future changes in person's guild contribution for some time.

So I was wondering if such a thing is possible - you press that button and for the next X hours your matches, regardless of whether you win or lose, won't change the guild rank.

This way we could use ranked to practice, check out a new idea, etc. All while not putting our contribution at risk, for a stress-free fun which is decktesting in Card Hunter!

I also think this is something that would be little to no prone to exploiting, so... yeah, why not.

 

Isn't this what casual matches are for? I can understand if the lack of casual opponents is a problem, but that's what guild-mates are for!

It's interesting, but how often could one use it? Would there be 'cool-down' periods? When can I use it; when I enter the multiplayer lobby, before seeing who is online? Or can I just pick the moment when to do so?

Some thoughts to help flesh out your idea.

 

I like the idea
Haters might say that if it's near the end of month and our guild is 1st with a nice lead, we should tick that and enjoy our 1st place.
I say it's far worse if people in this position instead stop playing because they don't want to risk their guild's rating.

 

But isn't the risk part of being in a guild?

 

Also constructed leagues, especially after the fourth game.

 

Ranked environment is pretty unique, but tied to the guilds.
I'm against individual, but for global intermissions, i think i brought up a casual friday elsewhere. Or delay the new season's start 3 days into the month. Then again you're not supposed to feel in need of relief from your guild affiliation.

 

@Farbs would probably need to make a special scenario to achieve this. It might help guilds with a mix of casual/competitive players do a little better in the monthly seasons.

 

You settled this in Deathmarch? Thats truly cardhuntrian.
