Summit Progression - Changes To Be Implemented

[Leutria]

What attack and defend idea..? If you are referring to R/D that already exists and has for years...this exists not to add 'attacking and defending' but to change game mechanics to further things.

[Sedgistan]

For the record - all these changes (with the exception of "Reformation SC proposals") are still on the agenda. Regional Officers and Delegate-Elect are the two that are likely to be done in the short/medium-term. They also happen to be the most significant changes, so require a lot of work.

If anyone is wondering why this is taking so long, the original instruction when picking changes to emerge from the Summit was to go for "one or two" -- we went for seven (subsequently reduced to six). Given all the other admin things that also have needed doing (TG system, Rift theme, Polls, Dispatches etc.) it's not surprising they're taking a while. I managed expectations poorly initially when saying "some are not likely to be implemented until next year" as that was never likely, and the reality is that some of these are still a long way off.

Thanks for the update, I look forward to seeing them whenever they do get here ^_^

when do you think these changes will be added?

Never, knowing the admins

Track records prove. You guys said soon 2 years ago, so I might be right here

Implementations like these are probably on the back burner right now due to other more important things in which you would not know about because a) it could be a surprise or b) it's not that important to be explained to the general public.

Beats responding to 3 year old issues with next to nothing!

Seriousness aside, why does this sub-forum still exist? There's no desire from mods/admins to post updates here, and, it seems, not much desire from admin to implement the changes that, once upon a time, may have had an effect on N/R/D.

No, you see, the Admins (apparently) put this on the waaayyyyyy back of their list of things to accomplish. Probably the bottom.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

Probably because the Administration hates Gameplay and wants it to die, obviously.

Lets get the discussion going again, and maybe something will actually happen?

Lets get the discussion going again, and maybe something will actually happen?

I pointed [violet] towards the recent activity in this thread. That prompted a short discussion between two of the admins, who both had different solutions for one of the proposed problems. At this point, they're still discussing which one would be best for game balance ... plus looking at IRL conflicts that prevent adequate prepping for new code.

It's not like we need a bunch of posts to make something happen. There are other factors at work. If people want to bump this thread every couple of weeks or so for attention purposes, that's fine. If you're encouraging spam posts, not so much.

I saw we let the gameplayers vote for their favourite option

We don't do voting on technical solutions.

Yeah good idea. With a clear majority against Raiders and Raiding, the most popular technical change would be to outlaw raiding all together again.

I'm pretty sure that Max himself wants raiding to stay. So I don't know that the mods or admins could actually outlaw it. Besides, you'd be pulling out a large chunk of NS.

And pissing of thousands of people to appease thousands of people

I was being sarcastic, still though, there's a clear anti-raiding majority out there. So any changes made democratically would completely make the Game unbalanced.

Hundreds to appease thousands.

I personally think that annex is best for the R/D mechanism, because it makes defenders constantly alert for a annexation

Yes, I am really looking forward to the addition of annexation

It also gives meaning to GCR imperialism

I hope to be defending regions from being annexed by raiders.

The regional officers addition sounds like a must have.
