So with the not so surprised by surprising latest patch released its basically the the 1.1.19beta patch that I was working on testing with. There were a few more changes since then which is why its not patch 1.1.19 that was released but 1.1.20 as a result. It looks like that this is what is to be considered the more stable patch to continue from with the necessary fixes that were apparent issues previous with 1.1.18 and before.
I was wondering if there was any opposition to having runs centered around latest patch and still have home for runs from 1.1.18 and below which was the last previous official patch before 1.1.20 which is now current?
There was a small issue where submissions were closed for a brief period earlier today they are still open tI'll mid April. Sorry for any confusion.
Currently as Gestalt | Replicant is still small we have a channel within the Same server as Automata for the time being till this would change if needed.
Please join myself and the other interested runners for either games; https://discord.gg/NU3M8sC
Hope to see you there!
Where ever we end up I will follow the community where I see the most positive gain for myself and all. I am willing to put forth intial effort to help establish grounds to continue as as we are even in the new fresh discord troubled of the past aside provided we can at least agree to joining together regardless of our new or former roles. That said new Discord has had a very positive growth if activity since the part so I will remain as such provided it can still maintain that and I do hope others will work not only with myself what ever my role in the community will be but each other in the same way to stay positive and nurture our passions and motivations.
I do purpose tha the current mods that are are active can remain as mods but I would suggest that they probably become normal mods and a more a more active person on the specific games be put into super mod role to keep things moving.
As for the discord I would probably suggest we keep the original discord but we set up the main mods as established leads that can work together to maintain it as well. We can if needed hand the server to someone that will remain active till the time they would need to pass it as well.
The original server I think could use a bit of work still but it is more established should we continue to allow positive change for us all.
Side note that I just finished going through the same process with Automata community so keeping things focused and In hands of the new blood that is active is the best way to keep things motivated going forward.
Either way the fresh server would allow us to start clean and move forward together. Just need to work together on the same level and understanding at bare minimum.
I am not against this idea tho if any of the current ones are still active enough with the game and or willing to step back if they are still wanting to take interest in working with the community then thats fine. I don't really like self nominations entirely But I would like to see more headway being done with NT as the game is picking up on updates and would like to see it done with the community with someone or even a team that is actively working on related stuff that is useful for the community.
I cannot vouch for any other games in the Series as I have no interest in them as a runner nor do I know who would be the best fit so its up to the runners of those games to figure it Out I believe as a community should. It's a bit different when you start a community but at some-point things do switch over I've been there and done that, but this is what drives continued growth and interest as long as things keep moving forward with the Community leads then things will be fine if their own interest or activity if minimal there's no shame in appointing someone else to take over while you focus on other things or perhaps come back when ready to be more active in the community.
Submissions will go till mid April as opposed to mid March. Just as an update. And the Online Marathon will take place between May 4th and 6th weekend. If we get enough submissions we may increase its length and start sooner then the 4th but that will depend on the quantity and quality of submissions. Thank you to all those that submitted thus far.
Mistakes happen but learning to work with the good and the bad of the community is important and that is why its better to try and work with them regardless of our own personal opinions tho we can at least and should feel free to say them and find some sorta common ground to move forward. I for one will not blame a sole person as there is allot of people at fault and perhaps self as well because of miscommunication barriers with the little knowledge I had at the time. My only goal was to find people interested in DFF NT and work with them on the game and saw that the boards were not set up and that were asking for interested people to share and join the community. I thought I was walking into a welcoming community but that seemed not the case at the time due to still hostile personal issues or past interactions that did not get resolved in a positive way. Being someone who was caught in the middle of the past and recent ordeal puts me in a very odd spot compared to how I normal deal with things with communities, I did seek out the Series mods to ask about the current and apparent past issues and was hoping we could get a resolve and just for general guidance on how to try and get people to reach common ground its rather annoying trying to stay neutral in a hostile situation when i can't really do or say much to help move it in a positive direction when some may be refusing to do so based on previous experiences. Each person should not be treated poorly based off another's actions or from previous experiences, things changes people move on and good and bad happens. The best thing we all can do is work together as best and as positively as possible to not hinder nor discourage others as this is a huge thing that steamrolls in directions many will have not thought of and very negatively impact everyone around it. I'v had my share of community drama I was not perfect neither no one truly is but everyone should try and learn from another positive stance or outlook and especially try to work with people who want to offer help. Allot of issues like I have said before in communities starts with individuals and then if leadership is not taken accordingly in a much as possible manner then things can become far worse even more so over time. Leadership roles such as a mod for a community or admin whatever that may be have a large responsibility to REPRESENT their community and the members part of it regardless of size or personal views on the individuals but more as a whole. These people should never work alone but with others and should always be seeking out and doing what they can for their community not for themselves. Just because you have power does not mean you should use it, in fact the only time it should be used is for positive ways to better the community based on the needs and wants at the time. Just because some bad categories get made or something happens that would alter or obsolete a board or category etc, does not mean that you cannot make the needed changes,fixes or additions to accommodate for these things. If a game has DLC come out more often then not you can easily separate that into a category for DLC and No-DLC and thus creating a equal way for both types of runs to happen as an example. If a game has content that after being cleared is not available or accessible before you would start the game again or fresh, more often then not you can easily separate for New Game and New Game+ respectively based on what the community would need or want at the time, and this also should factor in the evolution of said community and the game or activity it represents. While many people will not always agree which is an impossible task to ask for at least be tolerable to those that do or do not agree and like wise to the opposite effect, no one can be part of something if people feel hostile towards another. If the current mod team has not been working out removing them completely does not really help them learn, but perhaps allowing them to work with new people that may be more experienced or have different outlooks will help balance and allow for more positive interaction flow rather then stacking everything to a single or only a few individuals, REMEMBER you have a community to talk to you cannot always just talk amongst leadership because then who are you really advocating or representing for?
While I can understand that runners that have had a longer and non-positive experience, I don't think replacing every mod is nessecary unless they would be or have shown unable to meet and maintain the community they should be representing or have or shown disinterest or lack of involvement from their position. Restructure could be middle ground if needed as there is currently a large lack both communication and understanding between both the mods responsible for the boards and the runners. Everyone does has their own valid points and opinions but as a community things should been done respectfully and logically as to fit the need or current situation. From my current experience there is only a few interested runners such as my self for DFF NT and only between us have we had some sorta civil discussions about things. I very much dislike any non-positive interactions and while not everyone my have intended it as such it has come to that point. A big issue with having these problems in communities from experience stems from the leadership that they have and their ability and understanding of what the community wants or needs to be done to maintain it. Currently the community leadership does not allow for the community to be self reliant and coherent with the leadership team. My thoughts on a possible way to help with this would to usher in new leadership from interested parties and work with the existing team or if the existing team is willing to step down that's fine but at least have more active and interested approach towards to community in the most positive way possible. This is only an idea based on my own thoughts and experience but other avenues could still be explored. I just know that currently there is a division amongst the community regardless of its size.
Do the available repeatable quests,arenas and or events then for corresponding or desired hunt. Investigations are not something that is going to be trackable due to how incredibly random they are and the variables vary to a point that pretty much makes each hunt unique and there for not really available to others to compete against. Not sure what you mean by expanding? If a quest is not listed you can submit it under Not-Listed quest and it will be added once the moderators have had the chance to look at the submission. There is no equipment restrictions so i'm not sure what made you think there was any to begin with, just don't expect to compete with the fastest times overall unless your aiming for specific weapons. Weapons are tracked as a filter and not anything more.
So Domina now has a 1.1.19 Beta update which is really awesome and the developer has put fixed slider positions for difficulty now so the past issues may be less of a thing with it, and it also now displays more information regarding difficulty selections.
Below is the tweet about the new Beta version update. https://twitter.com/DominaGame/status/971152369974038528
To enable the beta you will have to go into the games properties and to the Beta tab and enable beta testing to access it.
I'm still trying to see what other possible things we can set up besides difficulty that would alter routing or make for more interesting and a more engaging run overall, which preNASA looming in a week or so i'd like to offer up more solid incentives as the original ideas seem a bust aside from attempting Pro Gamer as that is very unsafe and requires extra time and some luck to stabilize a run and you would still need to do the scheduled fights and hope to win a few here and there just to scrap by to get the coin needed to progress through the minimum 3 regionals before the end of the game and then even so the betrayal.
