  • Quick Status Updates 1/25/13

    01. 25. 2013 01:27


TeamNF_MK2

Hey guys,

I'm afraid its been a while since we last touched base on the status of upcoming projects and news. Since work has been primarily sticking to schedule as previously discussed, there has not been much to update. However, I'm sure some would rightfully argue that this latest event was in need of prior notification. I deeply apologize for the lack of notice. It ended up springing up on us as well on account of decisions out of our direct control. We hope to provide ample notice for future events.

On that note, I wish to provide some notice for a special "bundle pack" which will be made available through the NF Store on 1/31/13. This special bundle pack is set to include various popular premium items along with an exclusive set of item that has never before been made available and that will only be available through this limited bundle. The bundle will only be available for a certain period or until 200 have been sold. This is all I can say for the moment, so please look forward to it's full reveal on the 31st.

With regards to our ongoing projects and work, please see the following notes:

Amazon Free-to-Play Integration
Work is ongoing and currently in the testing phase. More time is needed in order to fully resolve a technical issue that has been holding our devs back. 

New Fleet Leader Forum
As noted in the previous thread, our web devs have had their time taken by the Amazon project which has lead to unfortunate delays on the opening of this forum. We expect to have the new fleet leader forum opened by the 15th of February at the latest. 
 
Ship Parts Reinforcement System
Full details are still being finalized and will be made available once decided upon. The system is on target for introduction into the test server soon followed by patching to the live server in March.

Harbor Assault  
TNF has taken players up on the offer to take part in observing HA. However, we still are lacking in necessary bug or improvement reports. Please send us your observations and necessary fix reports through a "Bug Report" support ticket. You may title it "HA Report".  This will provide us a great assistance.

Item Slot Max Increase
This has already been patched to the server. Player accounts are now able to hold up to 80 different items (up from 50). 

Great Battle 3 aka mid-tier battle room
This battle room aimed at helping players transition from Blitz is likely going to be called "Skirmish". It is on track to be patched in February. Details still adhere to the following setup:

Max Ships
BB/BC - 10 (5 per team)
CV - 6 (3 per team)
SS - 4 (2 per team)
PS CA CL DD FF - no limit

No SS mode option (SS will be unable to enter)

Max sailor level to participate - 83

All other options will follow in accordance to GB1  

Currently on the drawing board
Our team has just finished up some plans for some very unique changes intended for World at War. All I can note at this time is that the changes are meant to help provide a greater incentive and to engage veteran players.

There may be plans for a small event to be held in March. Details will be provided beforehand as they become available.
  
Previous quick updates can be found here

Thank you,

-Randy

What can we expect from "volunteer" mods? We are expecting too much from them, what we need is a full time/paid moderator so that he/she can really push for the changes this game needs and not give excuses that they cannot work full time because of RL work issues.

We need a community manager that the GMs and Devs will listen to.

Oh wait we have one. And he does his best. Guess who doesnt listen to him? 

I for one would want Vick gone unless transparency shows up and we see that he is doing lots of things. However, things like permabans and account assistance need to be left to GMs or high-up (but not head mod level) mods. Vick, between you and randy, you guys should be up the devs ****. Things need to get done in a better manner than they are, and they need to be prioritized better. Stability needs to be top priority, then bugs, then hacking stuff. Fix all the old problems that have been around for ever. For the time this game has been around, i should be crashing less than once a month if that. HA should work flawlessly and these new nations and ships coming out should be hitting the ground running, already balanced. You said the stability has been improved? ***, i crash more now than 4 years ago.

i wonder where the legal standing is to be able to ban people for posting information on a 3rd party site?

cause if you ban someone for information on a 3rd party site that is a clear infringement of legal rights of the person. free speech and all...

i can understand it being "in the rules" but the United States Federal Government sorta trumps the super vague EULA of a dying game (dying due to poor public representation)

You don't have free speech rights on this forum.  It's not run by the Federal Government, or by the states.  As a private entity it is free to ban any and all speech it wants.  Your recourse is to go elsewhere.  IANAL.

Truere words have never been spoken. Also, that is also what our current TNf hides behind.

I smell thieves here.

Is someone working on the really important stuff?

2 crashes in 3 days. That's a good high wanted percentage.
