  • Meeting Actions - *Update 2*

    12. 02. 2012 01:58

Actions from the Fleet Leader meeting on 1st December:

 

1.  Randy will request a specific update on the issue of HA:

-  Core HA update and crashing issues.

-  HA Battle Mode.

-  Timeline and place in priorities.

*In progress*

*Update 2 - Very grateful for the reporting of HA bugs, please keep those coming in.  The Devs are working to replicate those in testing to then continue working on solutions.  There have been some changes introduced over the last couple of patches so any news on how HA is working would be welcomed on tickets.*

 

2.  We will question SDE about the Achievement System that was on the original work plan for 2012.  Is it still on the list or has it been removed, if still an aspiration what is happening with it?

*Update 2 - Investigation showed that the introduction of a meaningful achievement system within the current game engine would be a major project and so it was put on hold for the time being whilst other work is done.  It may get reserected later.*

 

3.  We will explore the possibility of a Poll system that pops-up at the Login page (only once per account for each Poll) to encourage greater participation in Polls.

*Being considered*

4.  When the new Fleet Leader forum opens we will discuss topics for meaningful, constructive, Polls.

*Waiting for Fleet Leader forum area in new construct - second priority after Amazon project*

 

5.  The Fleet Leader forum area is being worked on, but we will get an estimate as to when it may appear.

*No2 priority to Amazon - latest estimate is start of Feb 13"

 

6.  The new Fleet Leader area will be permission based rather than automatically linked to account status.  As such we will be able to consider cases for specific access beyond pure Fleet Leaders or Fleet Accounts if there is tangible benefit, eg some of the Testers on a case-by-case basis.

*As above*

 

7.  Trainworld content is useful, but falling behind recent changes as it is not a SDE resource and very much reliant on a single person.  Need to explore whether the asset can be incorporated to NF.com and kept upto date or elements of it replicated on the core site. 

*Unfortunately SDE cannot take over the updating or content of trainworld, which is privately owned/operated/updated and thereby reliant on that person*

 

8.  Update '/' commands in-game and in the guides.  Anyone with input to that please forward to Head Moderator who will request the update.

*Passed to Devs - thank you for inputs*

 

9.  Update and expand game guides.  We intend to set work going on this with the revised Fleet Leader forum area (that will be read to all, write for Fleet Leaders).  

*Some background work started on this (thanks to Lj and Darkfrost) - considering a way to get wider involvement ahead of FL area as well*

 

10.  Explore whether the Test Server can be same loading as main game but then a branch option from the Login page to save having to use a separate client.  There was a similar option in the past, can it be done again?

*Question asked - Waiting on response*

*Update 2 - although this was possible a few years ago for a short time, unfortunately it is not technically possible with today's version*

 

11.  Forum Rules and Server Rules review, plus application of rules.  We will open these discussions in the revised Fleet Leader area.

*Waiting on FL area - could be an agenda item for Fleet Summit?*

 

12.  Randy will establish an issues update thread that he will endeavour to update weekly on any progress across a range of issues and questions so we can attempt to better track and communicate where we are on developments, timeframes and priorities.

 

13.  We will consult SDE about producing a 'public' version of the Moderator Manual so players can better understand how TeamNF is constructed, how it works and its accountability, and the processes for complaint.

*Draft sent to SDE for consideration*

*Update 2 - Draft approved.  Should appear as a pdf on the Download > Manual > Public Mod Manual  link in the near future*

 

===================

 

On a side note, Randy talked about advertisement of the game through Amazon to attract new players and linkages with them on item payment.  Hopefully there will be more news on this in the near future.

The point with the polls pyrofiend is that if only 20% of the community enter the poll on the forum then 95% of that 20% is not actually very representative.  So if we can explore a way of polling at the point of login then hopefully we get a better representation of opinion.

[ linkages with them on item payment ]. I hope there will be a new payment option, like money transfer western union, for people that cant get a credit card, paypal and gocash. In middle east region its kinda hard to get this, or availability of the said payment option. Only hoping there will be. Thanks a lot sir.

  • Information: **the website needs to be upgraded to give more information to current players and new players. Eg: 'HA results', 'Guides', 'Fleet information', Current players online'.**

We went through a structured agenda that covered a lot of discussion and we provided opportunity for direct questions to be asked before moving to the next item.  Not all of the issues from your copied post were raised.  That doesnt mean we cant continue working on those though and provide additional feedback as time goes on, probably through the FL forum area when we get it running again.  Certainly we have not 'lost' them as they are still in that thread.

Perhaps you shouldn't believe all what certain people talk.

Meeting was a good step in the right direction, apart for certain group trying to bring irrational and personal agendas it was something quite productive, much more productive than anything comming out from the FLFs in all this year.

Also there was given quite usefull information for understand certain issues, I hope they keep on that way in the next FLFs and avoid certain people to ruin them again.

IMO the new fleet leader section should be open to all to view but only allow fleet leaders to post.

I dont understand why this would be kept specifically to fleet leaders when only 4 of those 13 topics directly relate to fleets themselves... It may be easier to keep the total number of people there lower thus less confusion, but it doesnt make sense that fleet leader forums only would be the right place for this information and possible future discussion.
