Feeder Welcome TG Delay

Postby Varanius » Wed Jan 22, 2025 5:25 pm

Going to cross post my initial point from the F/S thread, since Sedge suggested I take it elsewhere:
Varanius wrote:Completely unrelated to any of the actually productive discussions above, going to ask about the continued feeder welcome telegram delay since F/S dropped. The intention of that change was always, from my understanding, to allow UCRs easier slices of the new player pie by making it more difficult for feeders to quickly integrate the new players they receive. This seems largely obsolete now as a technical maneuver. UCRs looking for slices of the new founds pie can now simply become frontiers (who I will note do not have their welcome TGs delayed), and given both that feeder numbers have declined significantly due to F/S and the fact that most (if not all) feeders currently do recruitment of their own, it seems like something of a relic of a very different feeder gameplay environment.

In a reality where the Frontier with the highest founding rate receives roughly 17% of the spawns of the lowest ranking Feeder, this doesn't seem like a necessary change at the moment.

I don’t see why this would be a conflicting aim?

My point is that Feeders don't need a buff right now.

Okay, but you seem to be saying that not out of any point that actually relates to feeders but because large frontiers are not suitably rewarded for their efforts, something which I agree with you about and is also entirely extraneous. The solution to that would be a reworking of the frontier magnetism mechanics, which is a change that should happen regardless of the outcome of this discussion and which this discussion has little bearing on, so I still don’t really understand your point.

I firmly agree with UPC that this does not seem like a necessary change.
