That's interesting; I don't think I've seen anyone say that before. It's logical though - coins from quests are rewards.
Let's stay on topic here folks! :cool: The Nerfing of the HoF is the subject at hand

Then why has he disagreed with literally everything i've said?
I don't know how he could have explained it that way when he's convinced that power = prestige
.....
fischh mentioned that "power from HoF is different than power from sectors", and I believe that's how others are looking at it, also. But this is not how you should think of it as, and this is what is leading to confusion.
Power is the same whether it's from HoF, sectors, top 3 bonus, etc....power is power. Power goes to leveling up your guild. Don't think of power as anything else, don't even think of power as prestige.
Now, instead of thinking that "power from sectors contributes to prestige, but power from HoF doesn't" let's think of it in a completely new light. So erase that from your brain. Instead of thinking of "what sector's power do/don't contribute to" when thinking about prestige, let's think of it a different way. Let's think:
"How is prestige calculated?" Prestige is calculated by adding up all your sector totals, plus the prestige that is awarded from your guild level bonus.
So, my point is, when talking about power, you should ONLY think of power as contributing to your GUILD LEVEL PROGRESS. Just forget about prestige when thinking about power.
Then, when you do want to talk about prestige, then and only then, will you correlate "power" with "prestige", by using the formula "sector totals + level bonus".
If you try to think of power as both ways, that's where you'll get yourself confused.
They must have changed it then. When I tested it a few months back, they didn't.
"Prestige - Prestige is calculated from the level of a guild and the daily power. It is used for the global guild ranking."

Now you are trying to tell me that we were to assume that prestige did not equal level bonus + daily power but rather it equals level bonus + sector totals(whatever that means as you mean the total of your sectors power). Everything in your post you are tellling us to do directly contradicts the information we had on power and prestige. Again i don't think you are getting what we are saying, it's not that we are confused about what the current corrected calculation for prestige is, it's that I don't understand how we were possibly expected to come to that conclusion based on the information which had been provided to us, it's like you expect us to be mind readers. You seem to be the one confused as you are attempting to defend a position you can't possible defend.
Just double checked and stand corrected. Sure I tested it before and score went up but tried again just now and no gain so ignore last post
That is not at all what i'm saying. I said exactly what you just wrote:
Prestige is calculated from DAILY power, which is the total of all your sectors added up + guild level.
There's no arguement here about how prestige is calculated. The point was, just because prestige is calculated from certain sources of power, does not mean that ALL power obtained is added to prestige.
Cool, that's what I thought. Thanks for double checking.
But what has been said in return is how can total daily power from sectors and total daily power from HoF be any different. Both of them give a value of total daily power, and total daily power contributes to total guild prestige. Meaning that the HoF should be doing the same as sectors and was never bugged to begin with.
I think i just clicked to what you are saying. And you are right, in that IF that is exactly how it was working, then it wasn't bugged, but i don't believe that to be the case, but they did use the premise of a bug being present to reduce its power in an view to offset the prestige it was "supposedly" giving.
The problem lies herein, with what it was ACTUALLY doing. This is why i asked the question over HoF's prestige (in 1.28) as the comment from Inno came back as it was giving power AND prestige i.e. contributory power and contributory prestige.
