Nexus Clash :: View topic - Last 10 Raid Events - Good or Bad
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 3:12 pm Post subject: Last 10 Raid Events - Good or Bad
Good idea or bad idea? Please discuss. Does delay need to be longer than 24 hours? If so, how long? I think it adds some nice "current events" type feel but am not sure if people will be concerned about griefing.

It's making my griefing public!
Nah, it's pretty cool. But it should be a little more than 24 hours. At the 24 hour mark you know someone could place a SH and might encourage vulturing and what not if someone knew the location of the faction.
If it was a variable it wouldn't be so bad. Somewhere between 48-72 hours. It would give plenty of time for returning factionmates and so that no one could prey on just set up Strongholds.
I think it's a super feature - a little more delay might be good, but I think it's a something that will encourage faction activity overall. And that's a good thing.
/me liked the monthly raid-stat threads NW forums had, but this is a even better.

The thing is, if someone's vulturing, we would all know

I like the idea of the raid log but it could perhaps be placed someplace else. The only other suggestion I would have would be timestamps, but that could turn out griefy and ugly so it is probably very good the way it is. _________________ And if it gets too big, well, it'll be time for someone with more skills than my meager ones to step up.

I'll echo what Tek and Ciceron have said. The real estate where it is valuable, and cramming that info in there does it a disservice. I'd say have a link to a second page--like maybe where the factions are listed, and then the raid log could have a full page-width down at the bottom of the faction page.
I'd also like to see date/timestamps (though thinking about it, I can see that could be problematic). Because if I'm looking at it, and suddenly the raid I'm looking at drops off, I might not "get" that it's now the 11th. If you're showing only the last 10 raid events, it's a pretty random selection depending on when you log in. If it's going to be used as any sort of tool, I think I'd like to see 24 hours' worth of raids on there (i.e., display all the raid events from 24 hours ago to 48 hours ago).
I can imagine a situation, though, wherein a big faction spams the box by repeatedly breaking the wards of nearby/smaller factions... _________________ Vile Brimstone: The Original Stone/Invisible VW

I don't really care about the time delay, with the factioned alts limit vulturing seems fairer and any alty 1-2 punch will be fairly obvious with limited alty allies pool.
