Quote from: Pariah on Today at 02:04:19 PMI don't think some pre-determined date range is the right way to do it.  But I do think it should be acceptable that if you play Amos the hunter, who starts out getting his ass kicked by chalton and eventually skills up to being able to solo Salt Worms, he should be able to get a stat bump from muscle memory and all that.  The fact that your stats are set in stone always bothered me.

I'd honestly prefer it if everyone started with the same stats except from racial differences and then have your stats change as you level up different skills, would be more immersive. Only issue would be wisdom, as that's basically leveling speed.

Yes, they plan on having a full week prior to the launch date to ensure the sponsored roles are ready.

What that looks like, they haven't said (whether its them in game and set up a week ahead of time, or CHOSEN a week ahead of time... or just applied for a week ahead of time....)

I've seen staff argue in the past that they don't want to have folks asking for increases because people will game the system... Well people game the system no matter what you do, just make it harder to abuse I guess, but to be like, "YOU WILL NEVER GET A PLUS TO STATS." feels odd to me.

As we grow closer to "estimated" opening, is there any idea of what roles are going to be required of the playerbase to make sure the world is alive and well when we all point Allanak?

The one thing that sucks about this game is when you can't find anyone in certain positions like GMH members, Sergeants in the Arm, Templars etc.

So it might be a good idea to get those roles fleshed out and good to go well in advance.

Quote from: Riev on May 16, 2024, 01:39:02 PMStaff did mention something about trying to remove GMH players from being "vendors", so it may well be that many GMH recipes will be available for purchase now.

I hope this is the case.

After all there are 14 clans each requiring at least 1 leader. The plots, conflicts, as well as aspects of code, also seem very clan centric.

Unsure if this game still has the human capital to support additional clans with reduncant elements or to allow people to play limited role vending machines. Doubly true since not all clans work together and people can still isolate themselves in clan compounds.

Clan Assignments:

This is the new thread where we will be keeping the current list of staff and the team layouts.

The Staffing teams are as follows:

     * Denotes Senior Storyteller

Producers:
Usiku, Halaster

Coders:
Ursun, Zorkbob the Inhaler

Bumping this, we need more Moderators.  Right now the workload is pretty light since the game isn't even open, but the expectation is that the GDB and Discord will have increased activity once we do.  Volunteer for this mostly-thankless job!  Help us keep the GDB and Discord running smoothly for Season One!

There will hopefully be a really good chunk of all GMH catalogs available somewhere, somehow, in game. That may be on rotation. It may require travel. But things will be about. And if you really really really want a particular thing and you can't find it anywhere or you need support for an event etc, you can always seek out an NPC and ask staff for an animation.

You think it's a coincidence Kadius isn't open?
