Community Meeting Notes [18/07/20]

[Bailey]

Hello Imperial Gaming,

During tonight's meeting I wrote the notes for the meeting, I may have paraphrased a few things and/or missed some words because people were talking very fast and asking questions very quickly, but here you go for those who weren't there or missed certain parts. @Sith

I was going to put them all in the post, but that would take a very long time and they're a lot easier to read inside a Google Doc.

Yoooo Rook's answer has me in tears idk why him calling peoples pc a toaster is so funny to me but it is. 

"Jay: I don’t think PAC is worth the performance toll it takes on the Server.

Cecil: *fart noises* Umm, with that thing in particular, my opinion, and I think Rook shares a similar opinion. PAC rewards the players who have stuck by our community for a long time and there are a lot of people who like to specialise in PAC and are proud of their PAC creations. I think PAC is likely to stay.

Rook: pac_enable 0 is an option for those with toaster PC’s, I think if there’s that option, why not do that?"

I was gonna write each Management member individually but then everyone in the room was like “Get fuarrrrked” or yelled “No!”

[Curze]

Removing most B & C tier lore characters and shifting away from the extremely lore friendly tone of the server would be MASSIVE. Would allow so much more free & creative role play.

Also an event server should be number 1 priority and would fix most problems people have with events.

for question 10 I wanna say that I said they should allow people that obtain these High Command positions that are currently Lore character based to be able to be there own unique characters because it feels like right now your locked into this lore character role

I realise this went a little off track, but on the topic of lore characters I would like to make a few statements. That said, I do agree that those at higher ranks really need to have the option to just not be a lore character so they can achieve a certain rank.

Since I became the role of Kallus, I would agree that my RP has been a bit limited in certain departments. I've often had to ask myself, does this make sense for the character to be doing? E.G as Kallus, I stopped using bounty hunters, or purposely made life easier for rebel ec's and the like. That said, there have been so many more RP opportunities afforded to myself because I was lucky enough to go down the lore character route, interactions with Tarkin and other characters that interact with Kallus became much more meaningful and interesting, with my status as a lore character affording extra rp to those around me. Being a lore character can be difficult, especially when you come to higher rank lore characters. You might theoretically discover you don't like or suit the character after the fact, leaving you in a difficult position where at the higher ranks, you risk looking like you just took the lore role for the sake of it or looking uncommitted. 

I haven't been under a lore character role for long, specifically I believe I've been in the role of Agent Kallus for exactly 38 days. I believe that lore character are to a certain extent, overpowered, but also extremely restricted and underpowered in other circumstances.  I can't speak for others, you yourself are a lore character and likely have a whole different experience to me. Other's point towards how difficult it is to punish lore characters, and while I think that is a very valid point, people can and have been punished by being removed from lore roles before. I think if we are to evaluate lore roles and their usefulness on the server, we really have to ask what is gained by adding these roles to the server on a case to case basis. There's also the matter of progressing the timeline which would possibly solve many of the lore character role (if we transferred to ABY) as it would annihilate 16 of the 32 approved lore character roles, however as stated in the Q&A, this won't be happening anytime soon.

TL;DR: Lore Character roles have ups and downs and we should try to evaluate their usefulness to the server by asking if they add to RP on the server.

Wow a real panel IG EXPO 2020
