This week a sort of gathering happened between some of the community's regimental leaders/officers.
Main goal & proposals:Originally Posted by Major Vito (not his exact words)
The receive the new influx of players (with a reception, shoes optional)- New players get same basic info (gamewise & community wise)
- New players meet the community & the regiments (poor sods ).
- A chance for the community to come together on a project & put the community in a positive daylight (afterwards we can go off killing each other again)
- To keep the recruiting as civilized as possible and find the most fitting company (some will forever be freelancers)
- To keep activity going during the first week(s) of release so new people don't run into "empty" servers first week.
- Keep the events going (since some players will just jump in and wanna play !)
- …
For Union & CSA faction
- We have a some 'dedicated' EU & NA regiments, also faction wise the situation is a bit different and may result in a different outcome.
What's been done so far :
- A new profile (communityevent*) has been made so it's pretty neutral (and more people can work on the thread when it's posted)
- This thread is up to post some ideas/proposals on the early acces release 'event' and the 'to make thread'.
*Trusty has opened up the alpha forum for posting for non captains (waiting for it to kick in to start the thread) -< thx Trusty.
What should be on the thread ? :
- Link to the regiments (alphabetically) ? (based on warboys page) -< could be forum thread and/or company tool
- Event times
- Some basic info (keys, settings … to late to make a newcomers guide I guess)
- …
Thread changing rules
- People interested on working on the thread can ask the password.
- If you work on the thread keep the time minimal (try and work in advance and copy it in) -=< there might be other users waiting
- Have respect for the other persons work (ask around when in doubt)
- Tip : save a copy of your work into notepad for future usage (if needed)
What still needs to be discussed :
- How will we split up ? (over different servers, will depend on the numbers that show up) -> suggestion is to meet on drillcamp/officers chat and agree
- Union would like to limit the maximum people on Union drill server, CSA will need input from their respective companies.
- The working title for now is : war of rights introduction event OR orientation event.
- Major Stone proposed for regiments to focus on their skillset (for his unit for example : skirmishing) to show off different aspects of the game by people who are skilled at it.
- The 'eye candy' on the thread (which will go under alpha/events)
- Any other ideas ?
- …
Interesting links & info :
