Balance Activity

[LightningCape]

As you probably guessed by the title this is an activity check. With staff positions being moved around in the coming weeks we're going to get a feel for how many people are actually here. So @Balance Team if you still want to be part of this team post here. If you do not I will assume you are dead and call down Admins to escort you to the trashcan.

You have 1 week

Prof Balancing is an important part of Herocraft! You make sure that the economy is fair and that certain Merchants like Jonsoon and Yavool don't become the Robber Barons of Herocraft Industry.... oh wait... thats right... Merchant OP.

edit:
HEY ACTIVE BALANCE MEMBERS LOOK AT THIS NEW WARRIOR SHIELD CLASS

I personally dislike Warden Class Suggestions but they keep popping up, so they must exist in Gamer Lore somewhere....
Thoughts on the idea behind the thread? On the thread specifically? Comment them on the thread, thanks.

@Balance Team
Also - balance members must be active on test or in game. Things must be tested and its falling behind. The last few updates have been completely untested save for a few people playing their favorite class and is why bugs have trailed past.

Organize your lieutenants or promote someone with the ability to do so for you! I vote you give Lightning the power to set a mandatory testing period once every week for balance team. We can all get in TS with you or another staff, receive our direction, and then report back at the end of an hour or so.

edit: I understand you want us to test things by ourselves, but it is less efficient and if you give LightningMod the Authority to make mandatory testing periods it would help us communicate between each other.

Really think someone else should do it. I'm having trouble organizing the architects as is. Even if there is no side leader though, @Kainzo I recommend you start accepting people into balance who are active PvPers with good community standings. These are the guys who notice our changes the most and some of them know what they're doing in terms of playing their class

Who?

Honestly doesn't matter imo

I doubt there are many people who fit your description of strong PvPers with good community reputations. Add in a need for being unbiased, and the list shortens.

If you are going to suggest this, you must have at least one name in mind. Otherwise, you just posted the incredibly obvious observation of "players who know how to pvp and are nice would be good for Balance Team". The point of this thread is to clean house, lets start talking about who we want to fill the new spots.

@Balance Team
It's been a week. Time to rid ourselves of all the corpses, they were starting to smell.
@Xanipher when you have time could you demote all the name on the OP? Thanks.

Hopefully we can get more active people on board.

I would like to recommend that Balance Team tries to recruit Dwarfers and Natenate. They are obviously considered "current implementation" accomplished pvpers after winning their 2nd pvp tournament in a row.

Qualifiers for my recommendation: Dwarfers can be mature and is a vet but I am worried by his lowish activity level.
NateNate I don't know personally from recent interactions, but he has put his best foot forward when I spoke with him the the past.
The other two members of the PvP team: Naomi is already a coder/balance, and Malik has a long standing disdain for the work we do as well as a tendency towards bias that I worry he will not overcome.
