New Manager

way to make the most overhosted event on classic even more "important" to classic. good job guys, quality GC ideas right there

[BlackSolider]

Yeah...until other events are made/improved to rival CTF in fun and competitiveness...might as well make it as awesome as possible.

[maximus_asinus]

My idea wouldn't apply just to CTF, but to every event. You could use the system to create an exact leader board for each event (which wouldn't be arguable), it could be used to sort teams automatically... really it would have a great many uses.

Sadly we're a server that settles for mediocrity, we'll continue to accept 'the average' because we hope that someday the development team makes something great. This won't happen until we've upped our standards a little, and demand something better than these simplistic systems (look around you, you'll spot other systems that need improvement). This isn't 2001, lets raise the bar a little more here.

[BlackSolider]

Many things people do in ctf aren't quantifiable. "Returns" are only part of the story in defending; hell if anything you don't want to have returns as a defender because that means they got past you (different story when hunting, but w/e.)

In theory it would help make even teams, but there are too many factors (such as chemistry, timing, etc.) that turn many games into blowouts, despite seemingly even teams.

Due to my apparent mistake in thinking that Tig and TSA had completed the review, it is still open. I will not be participating in it as we have Skyld as an additional PWA now. They will be making the decision and will let you all know the findings when they've completed it.

Asking a manager to fix problems is like asking a politician to do the same.

When in reality, politicians don't solve problems--technicians and engineers solve problems. Managers don't make quests and dungeons, and in this case, the difference between the manager and the politician is the fact that politicians pay technicians to fix problems.

This is no complaint. The fact is, Classic is missing the "adventure" portion.. many of the staff realize this and are working to help. A few are more than eager.

I personally believe that all of the focus on events is only getting in the way... and I don't enjoy the events much personally, anyway.

How hard is it to script dungeon items instead of events? I find it hard to believe that if there were an impressive adventure game still present on Classic that there wouldn't be Zelda addicts drawn to it. I won't take that lecture for one second, because it is misinformation!

We need a manager who is able to release content on a big scale. Not little updates every single day. If you are capable of releasing content let's say (quests) you'd be having people explore it themselves instead of asking everything around.
What happens right now on classic is, little updates "bringing back old levels" wow cool, people visit it, they share old memories and leave, that's it.

Classic could have so much new content with already excisting items.

Let's just say the hammer.
The hammer could be used for far better reasons then just making the player little or hammering down stuff.
Like make a quest where you can collect stuff, and the collected stuff should be something you can build. Now using the hammer you could build stuff on your own private property or in your guild bases, or anywhere on the map.. maybe a reserved player island only accessible when you've played a decent amount of time or whatever.

There should be an idea behind releasing content. Not release content to satisfy current players for a short time.

What Classic really needs is its own Miyamoto/Aonuma figure. I can't see much real organization in the right direction without something of the sort.

The Manager position should be replaced with something more like "Director".

This isn't McDonalds.

what in the hell

Does a manager 'manage' or does he dev stuff?

The dev team needs to dev. The manager needs to make sure they're doing what they need to be doing.

Now, what the dev team needs to be doing...well it varies from person to person. But we definately need some progress to help the server.

manager should help developping on his own too. manager isnt about idling and tell dev to work

A manager does not have to develop.
