Daily Guild Activities are tied to the time zone of the original Guild Leader. It acts independently of your personal time zone.
The above is what CG posted. This is good news for those of us in Mountain or Pacific time as it put the guild day reset at 11:00 or 10:00pm meaning we only lose about 4hrs of natural regen between arena bonus and burning the energy.

Thanks . I'm lucky to have a relatively easy shard, aiming for the #2 spot as the normal #1 guy has a formation I can't beat. 3689 crystal/week + 1450 banked, I'll certainly be covered for this crap

In short, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, if you do 4 refreshes a day, and spend your built up energy early in the day, that's basically all you'll need. Make sure you are at max energy (or more), buy 4 refreshes at the end of a day, buy 4 more at the start of the next day, get the 135 bonus energy, and then natural regen should take care of the rest. Maybe 5 refreshes on some days if you want to sleep normally, ha.

That appears to be the gist of it, yes. I'll let our experts Blah and Greg correct us though, if you're wrong.

swarheit - correct. The key is that the first thing you do mon/wed/fri is burn all your energy, then let natural and bonus run it's course. do 4 refreshes, finish the minimum energy requirements, and bank the rest.

When I saw those new requirements on the forums. I thought, "Yep, that's it for me." lol. I was truly fearing this "change" because I didn't know if I would be able to keep up. It honestly felt like it didn't leave much margin for error and would be a lot stricter in-case you missed a recharge or didn't bank enough energy the day prior. Which is one reason why I liked the initial one because in-case I messed up I could simply SIM lower energy nodes to fulfill the goal. Thanks for crunching those numbers blah & greg, this doesn't sound AS bad now.

I think I have the crystal reqs down to 2050 if you can stay up until guild reset. Maybe even 300 less than that with down to the minute precision at level 80.

Times for this are mountain so 11:00 is guild day reset.
Sunday -
11:30 am - stop spending energy ensure daily is done. (You gain 90 from time and 45 from noon bonus before arena reset) 8:30 pm - claim 7:00 pm bonus energy. (Don't claim until you hit 135 energy) - do 50/50/100/100 10:00 claim energy bonus
At this point you should have 135 + 90+ 480 = 705 energy Cost 400 crystal
11:00 pm Sunday the guild day (1:00 am EST resets). - spend all energy
Monday Perform daily (requires 60 energy unclear if HM give you energy for DS/LS) Use refreshes 50/50/100/100 (it may possible to save 100 here if DS/LS count but it's real close and you can't waste any minutes) 135 in bonus 230 in natural
480 + 230 +135 = 845.
This is repeated 3 times a week so 1800 crystals 200 for Cantina and 50 for arena.

I have an idea for you guys, if you're up for it, no hurry if you are.
Post a very brief summary of what needs to be done and when, for each day of the week, so folks don't feel overwhelmed looking at a wall of text. We make a "Sunday Guild Activity Plan" thread, a "Monday Guild Activity Plan" and so on. Make them revolve around the guild clock.
That way folks can click a link and see precisely and succinctly what they need to do that day, in plain English. We can make them sticky announcements so they're always listed at the top, folks don't have to sift through to find them.
Once we all get into a routine and it just becomes habit, we can unsticky them. Either of you up for it? Care to collaborate on it?

You can create them yourselves, I suggest the "Info for New Members" section and Cension can make them sticky if he also likes this idea.

I can put a thread together. The only issue is time zones. Which changes Cantina a bit but it can be fairly generic. I will get Sunday up tonight.
