My guild on sandycover ranked with Gold rank but got silver rank rewards

What most likely happened is your guild almost reached the gold rank but still missed it.
The popup you're showing is not indicative of anything because (as abusrd as it sounds, but still in character for BB) its hardcoded - my guild didnt do anything the entire event because noone even logged in, and the same popup shows me gold reward like it does to you.
Yes, the same thing happened with our guild. Indicator shows gold, got silver rewards. Not having an accurate raking indicator really hurts those trying to maintain their ranking.
We got the same ... silver tier rewards even that mouse over showed Gold.
The Gold was announced to be for top 10% of the guilds, but seems like only top 10 (not percentage) got it. Who knows. Unless you were in top10 leaderboard, the whole event was just running in the dark, including the reward system.
Same thing happened to our guild. We started off in silver tier for the first day or 2, moved into gold tier and stayed there for the rest of the event. https://prnt.sc/NQeA-PAzNhbs
We ended in gold tier but only got the silver tier rewards.

BB specifically said gold tier is top 10%, NOT top 10 guilds only!!

The problem is the tooltip is bugged and shows Gold for every guild no matter how well they were doing. On the German forums the devs acknowledged that they know of the bug on the 2nd of Dec.
We have been told in the reward window - for 10 days now that we had the gold
why then do we get the reward for silver?
Maybe you should have finished testing this on test server- before releasing it.

you guys expected something new from BB not bugged?
LOL
said so, they dont listen.
OFC fully tested, :DDDD
If they knew that - they should have either fixed it - or given every guild the reward for gold.Quote:

Check couple of posts up, like allways, Germans got the info 2nd Dec., just noone bothered to say it in English.
And things are found on testserver, some bugs reported, they sort some of them, not all, and still they bring them into live, every freaking time. Coz of schedule.
But the weird thing is they kept saying the Guild Fest was going to run at some time in January after the Christmas event. Why on earth did they start it so suddenly before the Christmas event, with no warning, and with so many bugs?? They had time ahead of them, the only ones who put any pressure on them to rush it out were BB themselves.
hope to boost $$ Nrs? push gem sales.
I agree with you. Very, very strange. Everyone expected to get Gold and gor Silver. Shame BB.
I have played in events like this before, as many will have, and you have to keep fighting till the bitter end and that in a split second someone can pip you to the post. You have to wait to find out. As a tactic, or through not checking their star, or until some switched on person says don't forget to check you have opened all your bags, suddenly lots of tokens from bags will have been deposited and everything change in a nano second.
Whether we all started at 'Good Try' or in 'Gold' there would be drawbacks , I am more motivated by trying not to slip down than to have to step up and it seeming impossible.
With regard to the Leader Board not being accurate this may be the case maybe it was bugged. It is sad that we have to see it frozen in time until next Maintenance and inclusion of the Christmas Event. Of course, it would not be an exceptional error if the timing was that close.
My Guild has only 14 members and not all were available to take part but those that could worked relentlessly, despite believing it unlikely we would get past 'Good Try'. As we all started in Gold we saw ourselves slip into Silver and back up into Gold we were within 50K at one point below the bottom of the leader board and we fought hard to get on it even if it was for a few minutes. 50/90K we knew we could get within a few hours. But of course all had the same thought :D But then none of us could get into the game for nearly a whole morning which took that possibility away.
We did get Gold and so happy because yes, as we thought, small is not just beautiful it is workable. It must be that the event is structured to give all a fair chance whatever the size of their membership. It really is for Guilds of 2 and upwards.
Hearty congratulations to the winner, and all on the leader board - we didn't make it this time but maybe next, who knows, what we do know is that we shall try.
That's great and all, but we never slipped from gold. In fact, it still says our current rank is gold, yet only rewarded for silver. We burned so many co-op addys and buffs trying our damnedest to hold onto the gold but never knowing where we placed because the ranking doesn't show. Opened all the reward bags, running multiple co-ops at a time every single day. I never expected we'd take first, but to get rewarded for a rank below our standing? It's crap. BB owes us 3k more commendations. We put in maximum effort and got less than their system said we should.Quote:

Got this form support: Thank you for your message.
The final scores are locked in place after the Donation Phase. Only then will the final tally be determined and every guild will be placed into their respective reward tier relative to how they performed against other guilds on their server. This can differ from the expected placement since all guilds are accumulating scores as quickly as possible during the Donation Phase.
We hope this helps and wish you a lot of fun in your settlement!
Kind regards,
Your "The Settlers Online" Team
That is a lot of nonsense - and others have reported that it is a tool tip bug - they have know all along.Quote:

The right thing to do would have been:
1 . Inform us about the bug right away
2. even better- fix the bug
3. or - give all the prize they was promised = gold if it said gold.
But no - instead they chose the ostrich approach - just pretend nothing is wrong and hope no one notice.
Agreed, mostly.Quote:

And I can confirm, ours still says: https://imgur.com/a/sJYk4w4
If only we had been told how it would work and a proper test had been done and best of all any faults found on test rectified, they had until January. We were not expecting it. I feel really bad for your Guild and others that felt cheated out of what they had worked so hard for. Of course my guild being so small our expectation was far short of what we actually got but we did work our socks off as well and it was only the actual leader board showing the results of the top 10 and how close we were that kept us going.Quote:
