llagana Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) EDIT Quick Information Host: Adexi (Republic) Who: Anyone What: Meetings to improve the SWTOR experience Where: Teamspeak3: republic.enjinvoice.com || Password: popcorn || Channel: Community Guild Summit When: First Sunday of the month @ 8pm EST ______________________________________________ Introduction The Community Guild Summit is a monthly meeting for guild representatives and members of the Ebon Hawk Community to come together and discuss ways to improve the Server and the players' experience. All interested parties should attend with the mindset that change only happens when everyone puts forth the effort on an individual level. There is no magic bullet. This is a group-wide effort. Attendance Although the Summit is open to all interested parties, we kindly ask that guilds limit attendance to two or three representatives to minimize crowding, if possible. We hope that you would relay relevant information to your guild in a timely and prompt manner. The Summit is hosted over Teamspeak3 and is a requirement for attendance. However, Teamspeak3 does support an IM system for those who are incapable of voice chat. Flow of Summit The general flow of the Summit is as follows: Introductions Player vs. Environment Discussion Player vs. Player Discussion Role Play Discussion Galactic Star Fighter Discussion Miscellaneous Discussion Closing Notes Participation As previously mentioned, the impact of the Summit is wholly dependent on individual participation and investment. To ensure all voices are heard and that we stay on point, we recommend: (1) when bringing up an issue, have a possible solution in mind, (2) this is not a place to discuss game mechanics, nor a place to vent or complain, and (3) making a personal effort to see things through. ------- Guild Summit Meeting 10.18.2013 9:30PM Server Time Introductions of all individuals attending including what people would like to see: • More Ranked Warzones • More Progressive PvE groups • Channels for finding people to group with outside of their individual guilds Future meeting times discussed • Result: Fridays work well Make the time earlier Suggestion to have the next meeting in 2 weeks for follow-up then once per month as needed Next Guild Summit Meeting to be Friday, November 1st 8:30PM Server Time Lots of discussion on PvP & PvE PvP • PvP channel was created for both sides to find members for ranked warzone groups To join on the Imperial side type /cjoin Imp_pvp To join on the Republic side type /cjoin Rep_pvp • Interest was shown in coordinated world PvP events: Outlaw’s Den suggested Possibly create awards for attending and competing in such events • Community to be polled on best nights for ranked PvP, in the meantime continue with coordinated queues on Monday nights and encourage queuing for ranked on other nights via the new channel PvE • PvE channel was created for both sides to find members for Operation groups To join on the Imperial side type /cjoin Imp_pve To join on the Republic side type /cjoin Rep_pve • Currently nights have not been coordinated for Operations groups as this is done on a guild-by-guild basis, please see the PvE channel for grouping RP • Brought up as a topic of consideration, but was not followed through due to lack of interest Thank you to all that attended.

Darka Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for this While not a "major" guild on the server it was still good to be apart of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zortibus Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for coming Darka. Though you may not be part of a guild that is well known, you and your guild members still play a major part in helping us all achieve a better gaming experience on this server! With that said, thanks to all who showed up with the good intention to make a change and add to any of the conversations that took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrovesK Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks to Republic for hosting this. Sorry I couldn't stay longer, but Dread Master Brontes was growing impatient Looking forward to the next one. AmonRe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyboardNinja Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Random note… Fridays are going to be a good time…for the guilds that were able to make it to the guild summit. Remember that a lot of us had to back out because we have regular events on Friday. Given that it's the night going into the weekend, it's not really that uncommon to schedule things there. <Aisthesis> really wants to attend, and we probably would have made it last week (despite the raid) but for massive internet woes, but Friday definitely doesn't "work well" for us.

llagana Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 If there are other days that work better, please post them as suggestions for future meetings. Thank you for the feedback!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrovesK Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Every night of the week is going to have some issues for someone. I recommend that starting in November we have the meeting on the 1st of every month. That way the day of the week changes every month and eventually everyone will get a chance to attend. Obviously, that is hardest on the meeting organizers because some months that may conflict with their own Raids and such. Other guilds could host though.

sofiebear Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Having the day of the week rotate each month would be the most convenient for everyone. Sorry no one from <Proper Villains> was able to attend. Fridays at that time can be difficult between raids and we have quite a few west coasters.

Leafduckfan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Yea Fridays sure dont work for everyone, <Womp Rat Fever> runs primarily on weekends so that is a no go although the rotation idea is fair enough. I was not there but one feedback to the above list, why are we creating ANOTHER pve grouping channel? Seems like we already have a dozen, if anything we need to close some down.

Leafduckfan Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) I've heard of others but I have LFG, Moonshine, Allies all on my main atm. Frankly it is a lot of clutter when one person who is in all of them logs off or on. Edited October 23, 2013 by Leafduckfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofiebear Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Moonshine is one set up by members of Bane& Proper Villains and we've been inviting people as we run with them. There's no real reason for another PVE chat channel on Imperial side. Edited October 23, 2013 by sofiebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynKnight Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What are the others PvE channels? I only just learned about the REDACTED channel on both sides. Please do not mention that channel name in public. It's not public knowledge for a reason, it's not for everyone. If it's not too much trouble please edit the name out of your post. Thanks .

GrovesK Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think we can see the reason why we need the new chat channels just in this thread. Some of them are "not for public knowledge" and they are obviously fragmented. Having a more common one that cuts out most of the clutter of general chat would be good I think.

Paretheus Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks for organizing this. Echo Company is a new guild, but we would definitely be interested in participating. Are there any ground rules? For example, how many members from each guild may attend? Are pre-summit agendas published as an outline to guide discussion? I am relatively new to this server, and Echo Company is a new guild, but we would like to become actively participating members of The Ebon Hawk community.

Zohkar Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Having the new Imp_pve & Imp_pvp as well as Rep_pve & Rep_pvp channels are a big step forward as suggested in this post. The main reason why is not everyone is always on the fleet but would really like to attend a raid that's being advertised. I know the invite I got by word of mouth on the republic side was a nice addition, but the imperial side did not to my knowledge have one until a couple weeks ago. And then I didn't know the republic side was word of mouth until someone asked those to be channels be removed from other peoples posts. It does how ever get interesting when someone is logged into all the different channels logs out then you get 6 different channels of spam saying so and so logs or joins the channels. One thing I will note the channels are definately new and haven't seen anything really said in any of them, other then the channels not to be mentioned by name work well for assembling raids. However if some channels are to remain out of grasp because people don't meet a certain criteria, eventually those channels will die as to me seems like fewer pople are around anymore.

Leafduckfan Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Please edit out that channel from your post. It's not public knowledge. Thank you! If it is not public knowledge then how come a guildie causally mentioned it to me? To the point above, well thats the rub really, people set up new channels, people leave the game, take breaks, channel goes quiet and gets abandoned. Any new channel wont solve that problem, it would be ideal if bioware had a global LFG, but that could also be abused. Personally I have kept LFG mainly because it makes the most sense as a name for such a channel, and it as been relatively well populated. Anyway sorry for the ramble, just there doesn't seem to be some magic solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that unless there is a known global channel that all agree not to abuse (police ourselves unfortunately) alot of people that want to do things but just never seem to be in the right place will be the un-doing of many servers. I use to moniter 12 different channels in EQ2 to help people. More then once I have been on a alt in SWTOR and a raid I really wanted to do happened without my knowledge because the defacto place to advertise is general chat on the fleet and I can't stand sitting on the fleet doing nothing.

Understandable, although I guess in my guild we are pretty good about relaying fleet LFG calls via Vent or /gchat but alas that doesn't work for everyone or all the time.

It was mentioned casually because your guild member trusted you and thought that you were a good enough raider to join that community. You'll note the channel is not advertised anywhere. That's intentional. If we do not maintain quality control on who we invite then the channel is no better then General Chat. So, I ask again, please edit the name out of your post. Please and Thanks.
