Community Leaders Program

[Snacknado]

Awesome thank you TrueHead.

I've got to admit that ever since I boldly jumped in with you guys on this thread I've been timid about talking on Zeus chats and have been sticking around Ares a lot lately. Even if I was to be on Ares mainly, it wouldn't change the availability of different features from the CLs. I think the program will need a bit more organizing before they can tackle a great event. First step is that list I'd like to find out from splattergod's post.

I did not mean that as to how that would affect us players being in chat without a CL but i meant more for you guys, to gain reputation with us and get to know you more as a person, player and now our community's leader. You will get a lot more feedback from other players (who do not visit forum) and allow us to get more comfortable with you. I think right now it is more of what you can do for us than us do for you- and if that means us having to search for you guys (which is not that hard for the regular person) there will be problems (since there are some not so bright people in this game). I would like to see this program do well but if not all the players know you (and not just know your name) i mean know you and are used to seeing you than i can picture a slow take off to the CL program.

also i saw someone on zeus who has a not soo clean record when it comes to trading trying to host a server wide lottery event.
-#1 not sure this is allowed by BB
-#2 i advised my guildies and friends to not participate in the lottery due to the fact that the host has a shady track record and has helped in rigging shelley's auction and has been caught lying several times.

IF lotteries are allowed to be server wide i would think that no one better to host it than a CL, right?.....

I have 2 concerns, you should have chosen main Ares players for Ares CL, instead of main Zeus players. Each server has a way different trade, market, those who just started on Ares will not be able to answer those questions well. I don't think being a CL for both servers is a good idea, You can't fully dedicate yourself to both servers very well. You will always have your dominate server account.

I agree, which I why when the program is re-opened for nominations, our priority will be finding dedicated Ares CL's.

[AngelBuns]

how do we nominate?

[Aquila2]

When the time comes, there will be more details on how new CLs will be nominated. For now the program needs a bit more growth and ironing out. Not to worry though, when that time comes it won't be just a forum post or a message on the main page. The CLs will make sure the community knows about it.

In the meantime, take a look at these 2 posts (initial post & further details post) by BB_Rawren. Keep an eye out for people that may fit the bill and if that person is you, keep doing what you're doing.

PS: Logging in quite late today but did not forget about the list of items you guys wanted to know about. I'll be posting something about that hopefully later tonight.

I'm still not sure how Ubisoft hopes to accomplish the goals of this program when it appears that the player base is unhappy with the most critical aspect of it. You can't bring people from outside a community (ARES server) and announce they are leaders and expect it to work. You can't fix this by repeating that maybe sometime in the future you will allow people from the actual community to help with it.

Global on Ares has been a lot less happy since this has been implemented and personally I'm either going to avoid global or find another game to play. Not sure that was Ubisoft's goal, but it's where it has gone for me.

I think Ubisoft should scrap this now. Get feedback on how the community would like this to work then re-launch after feedback based changes are made. Remember the first rule of crisis management is stop digging the hole deeper.

Well said zeffin...its just not working and both servers are unhappy with it.

I'm just wondering how many seasoned players actually hang out in Global-1? I personally NEVER have Global-1 open because let's face it, most of the time I don't want to be a part of what's going on there. I find most of the younger generation are the ones chatting it up in Global-1 and most of them are here for the social aspect more than they are for the game play. Think it would be hard to get a balanced approach at what is going on in a community if G-1 or Help Tab is where you are looking for information. Just my 2 cents, but I know many that purposefully have other globals open because honestly...they are nice and quiet...and there's no drama and no flashing tab.

I have nothing against Aquila personally, but I have to agree that I find it ridiculous that they couldn't find people on Ares to represent the people in our community. Seems to me that someone just didn't do their homework or didn't find it important enough to consider how we as a community may feel in that regard. I won't beat a dead horse on that topic, since its already been voiced. I will say that it is definitely not for lack of candidates capable of handling such matters. Off the top of my head I could name several people on our own server that could have been made CLs that would have instantly had the respect that these others are trying so hard to ascertain. I am also aware that as a community, there are a LOT of people not happy that we again are considered second to Zeus. No offense to those in Zeus, but we'd like our on identity. Zeus is not Ares and Ares is not Zeus.

I am glad to see that an attempt to bridge some gaps is being made between developers and actual players. I just think a head up would have served a smoother implementation of such a program.

I would also agree that the first thing I would love to see is being able to load in more than 25 troops at a time. Just had to load almost 3k R into my barracks and its a total pain and annoyance. I realize for lower levels its not a big deal, but when you are doing harder adventures that require more troops, its just a nuisance and something I would think could be easily rectified. (Not being a computer programmer, I have no idea the ease of changing such a feature, but I have confidence that it can be done.)

Just my 2 cents (or maybe 5)

I agree. I do not spend time in global or help. And I have been around a long time. I like the game but not BS.
