#251364 comp cape req

Posted by Banks on 03 January 2019 - 01:41 PM

The Completionist Monkey in its current state is earned by effort, getting the achievements done and skilling. It takes a combination of both PVM Skill (Wildy bosses + Inferno completion) and PVP Skill (the PVP achievements). I don't think it's fair, nor right, to make the Completionist Monkey something that is buyable for those who can trade and completely RNG based for those who can not.

 

I personally see nothing wrong with the current requirements and don't feel they need to be changed.

 

No Support.

#248239 Drai's Staff Feedback

Posted by Banks on 27 December 2018 - 12:17 AM

Hey everyone. For those that don't know me, I'm Draisaitl (better known as Drai, hunter and slayer of all things gargoyle). I've been an Administrator for a little over 4 months now, and I've been part of the staff team for almost 9 months. I know that a staff member making a feedback thread is a little different, but here's why I'm doing it. I always make sure everyone on the staff team knows how much I and we (the community) appreciate the work the Staff Team puts in on a daily basis. It's a thankless job that doesn't pay, but we do what we do because we love Alora and we love the community.

 

This being said, it's the holidays and I wanted to just give my appreciation as well as maybe some constructive criticism to everyone individually and I felt this was easier than talking to everyone on the team individually, as well as show a little bit of public appreciation.

 

A bit of a disclaimer before I begin, I want to say that the Staff Team is exactly that, a team. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses, but the reason we work well together is we put that together in order to accomplish a common goal. I'm most certainly not a perfect staff member either. But I still feel it's worth giving my perspective on any negatives as well as all of the positives.

 

 

Okay, paragraph over! Let's get into it.

 

Omicron

It's pretty much the same thing with you in pretty much every serious feedback that's been made but I'll keep the broken record looping. The work you put into Alora is unmatched and I don't think we could ever thank you enough for what you do for us. You give us consistent, high quality updates while still maintaining solid communication with both the Staff Team and the Community. 

 

Lowkey

God bless, can someone get me a CM with hair?

 

Jokes aside, there's definitely not another you. Not everyone may agree with the way you do things but there's no perfect way. You do your best to make everyone happy while keeping the good of Alora in mind with every decision you make. You also give the title "Community Manager" a true meaning by constantly interacting with the community. Your streams are alright too I guess, but consider putting some of Paine's donation money towards a wig or something.

 

king purple

Grab some tissues Jalapeno man, time for some feels.

 

I didn't know much about you when I first joined the Staff Team aside from other members telling me that if I had any questions, I could go to you. The day I was promoted to Server Mod, that changed completely. You taught me everything I know in regards to Staff Duties and have literally molded me into the Staff Member that I am today. And on an unrelated note, became one of my best friends that I hope sticks even after we've left Alora. You've completely built a reputation as a legend in your Event Manager role. But even when you were a Global Mod, you were always the community driven one, using your skills to build up the rest of the team instead of taking any credit for yourself. One of the best Staff Members Alora has seen.

 

Hellish

Grab some tissues from king purple

 

I've literally known you since the day I joined Alora (shoutout to Christina). I can easily say you've always been my best friend on Alora. You also joined the Staff Team not long after I came to Alora. When I first joined the team, you guided me and mentored me. That is until you temp resigned. And when you came back, ironically I outranked you (omegalul). That being said, you allowed me to return the favor when you came back and show you what I had learned. You took that and you made yourself a better staff member every day. You're still getting the hang of the Event Manager role, but as a Moderator and as a current Admin, you've always been a great Staff Member.

 

Sheep

Pretty sure you've been on the Staff Team since pretty much day one. I know you've been around much longer than I have and you were here when I joined Alora. To me you're someone who kind of lurks, throwing in some memes and at times a bit of savagery. However when it comes to the rules and enforcing them, you know them like the back of your hand. The input you have to offer in serious discussions is always solid. I think if I made this feedback a few months ago I would have a few constructive comments, but as of late you've done exactly what you need to be doing.

 

Dante

Like Sheep, a Veteran staff member from my point of view. You were a higher-up when I first joined Alora. I think the role you fill is similar to that of king purple, that being you're a bit more community driven in the sense that you much prefer to direct and guide others with the intent to teach them rather than take credit for yourself. Also like Sheep, you pretty much know the rules like the back of your hand. And if I were writing this feedback a few months ago, I may have a few constructive comments, but also as of late I think you're a great Admin and a great asset to the team.

 

hsoJ

Even though you're not the real Josh, you're still one of the best Staff Members Alora has seen. You and I literally got promoted together through every rank, and that's no coincidence. I feel that you and I have always learned from each other in order to mold each other into better staff members. As of now, I think you put in more work than anyone else combined in terms of behind the scenes work, cleaning up Alora in the category you specialize in (we both know what I'm referring to) as well as having a firm and unbiased view on the rules.

 

Draisaitl

Noon pet.

 

Code 002

I didn't know too much about you when you were first promoted. However I watched you develop as you climbed the ranks to Global Mod. On the way, I saw a lot of potential in you. And I wasn't disappointed. I think you're still learning every day, but learning and using these lessons to better yourself as a staff member every day is exactly what we want for every staff member, no matter what rank they hold. 

 

Scuffed EIM

I met you through king purple and Hellish. The moment I met you I knew that you had the staff trait in you. You've always been one of the most helpful players I've known. You're never afraid to voice your opinion on a matter, even if it isn't a popular one, because it's what you believe is right. You have a great natural sense for what's right and what isn't, which translate to being a natural stud in enforcing the rules. I think you're also still learning every day, but you're absolutely headed in the right direction.

 

Mack

I think the number 1 thing you offer as a Staff Member is confidence. You're one of the most confident members we have on the team and you show it at all times. Much like Scuffed EIM, you're never afraid to voice your opinion argue your point when you feel something is right or wrong. I also think you're very skilled on the technical side of things, as you've taken lead on our war against a specific group of rule breakers along side Doctor Drew. Keep doing exactly what you're doing.

 

Immortal Fox

You've been on the team for a while now. Though I'm not sure if it's because of our massive time difference, but I haven't had an insane amount of interaction with you. So it's hard for me to form a rock solid opinion on you as a staff member. What I think right now is that you're a very active member and you always offer your opinion and your input in serious discussions. I would say that from what I've seen, you have the skills necessary to be an amazing Mod, you just need to take the initiative to put them to use more often.

 

Paine

The amount of growth I've seen from you vs how you were say, a month ago, is unreal. You're showing incredible interest in putting in the extra effort and taking on the workload. I'm very impressed with how far you've come as a staff member. However, I feel that the only thing holding you back is a bit of a confidence boost. Keep doing what you're doing, but don't be afraid of being wrong. At the end of the day we're a team.

 

Mhk

Every role you've been given since you joined the team, you've taken on beautifully. You show great initiative in doing what's expected of you. I don't have a whole lot to say because you do exactly what you should be doing. Just keep up the great work.

 

EIM 1gp

LOL NICE LAMP

 

You've been on the team for quite a while now and you've shown quite a push to earn your way up the staff ladder. You were only just promoted to Forum Mod, so I won't make any comments regarding that role. As a Server Mod though, I feel that you excelled in learning from your mistakes. I know that it's taking time to get to where you want to be, but my advice is don't slow down.

 

Smiv

Since you joined the team, I think I've figured you out. You're a very kind, down to earth person and you'll do pretty much anything that's asked of you. However, I feel like you get discouraged every time you've been passed over. You have loads of potential but instead of being discouraged, don't stop what you're doing!

 

iron aritus

Another player who's been on the team for a while now. Before and after you temp resigned, the role you fill on the team hasn't changed. You're a very helpful player and very active in the community, and willing to do anything we need you to do. You're a solid Server Mod. Keep up the good work.

 

Loo

You're a great guy and a valuable member of the community. You were a Global Mod before you temp resigned and you filled that role well, which means you're no novice and know exactly what you're doing. However, you work insane hours, which I can imagine is exhausting. IRL always comes first and I will never tell anybody otherwise, but my only comment is I wish you had more time to be on Alora.

 

To gain

You've been on the team for just as long as I have. So needless to say I think I've formed a solid opinion on you. You've definitely had your ups and your downs, but in the end you always emerge a better Staff Member than you were before. We on the team know exactly what your specialty is and know that you do your job extremely well. My comment, however, is that I think at times you forget what we're here for and sometimes make it more of a competition than a team effort. Keep doing your job as well as you have, but try to be more humble.

 

Doctor Drew

Pretty much a legend right here. You've obviously taken charge with Mack in the war against you know what. Your contributions to the development of this is something I don't think we could thank you enough for. This aside, I haven't worked with you for too long. But I think you're an excellent Staff Member who definitely knows his way around the block. Just keep doing what you do best.

 

Sassafras

One of our newer members, not much I can say. So far I think you show a lot of promise. You're very friendly and very active. I can see you doing great things on the team. I do think at this point in time you lack a bit of initiative, but that's only natural being new to your Moderator position. I'm confident that some time and experience will fix that no problem.

 

Moral truth

You've been running the show on the Server Support Team for a while now. And you haven't slowed down at all since you were promoted. I know that the time may indicate otherwise, but you've been doing great and the role you're playing on the team right now is a lot more important than you probably realize. You're a very helpful and active player on both the Forums as well as in-game. Just keep doing what you're doing.

 

EIM Django

You're brand new to the team. Like, a couple days. You're also relatively new to the Server. So I can't say too much about you. However, it'd be unfair if I didn't recognize how much of a helpful player you've been to the community since you joined Alora. I have extremely high hopes for your future on the team, make us proud.

 

 

Once again I'd like to thank each and every member on the Staff Team for the work they put in on a daily basis. The decisions we make may not always be popular and it's definitely not always easy being us. But we do what we do because we love Alora and the Community as a whole.

 

Anyways, ya'll know the deal. Constructive criticism, positive feedback.  :ph34r:

When did you last apply for a rank? (Put N/A if this is your first app) - I applied a few months ago and was accepted, got demoted for inactivity due to me recovering from an accident.

What rank are you applying for? - Recruit

What are your strengths? - Positive, willing to help, super active, informative, knowledgeable, and I enjoy discussions.

What are your weaknesses? - Still trying to get the hang of discord, I’m really old so I’m still used to Skype/Teamspeak.

In a short paragraph, please explain why you feel you deserve the rank you're applying for. - Progress motivates me to work harder, it feels great to be distinguished for your efforts. I don’t feel entitled to a rank-up, however, I would greatly appreciate one and would work even harder into making a positive impact towards our clan.

Congratulations!

#243353 IOS/ANDROID alora app

Posted by Banks on 12 December 2018 - 10:31 PM

As already stated, this would require A LOT of time and resources for Omicron to implement. Could he do it? Sure. But consider that it took the Old School team almost a year to have theirs released and they had a large team working day in and day out on it. Omicron is one man and can only do so much.

 

And even if time constraint wasn't as big of an issue as it would be, like @Lord Aizen said, there's still a super long list of bug fixes and content additions that are a much higher priority than an Alora Mobile app.




#241568 Server Staff Appreciation

Posted by Banks on 06 December 2018 - 01:07 PM

Thank you for this, made my day. I’ve been on the team for some time and we’ve always done things the same way. We have a team full of people that work hard daily, doing a relatively thankless job that doesn’t pay. But we do it because we care about the server and want it and our players to thrive and enjoy their time here. Most of what we do can’t be seen by the public eye, especially the work that the higher-up staff does. But everything we do, even when the decision isn’t popular, it is ALWAYS in the server’s best interest.


#240049 Staff Update 12/1/2018

Posted by Banks on 01 December 2018 - 09:02 AM

A congratulations to all of those newly promoted.

A huge shoutout to my boy @Hellish. You’ve deserved this for a while and I’m glad you’ve finally made it to the gold crown. It’s more than well deserved. Good luck with the new position, brother.
