Topic: Petitions - Unviewed/Unanswered? Posted: 02 Jan 2011 at 18:10 |
I think this thread mostly requires a mods attention to answer it fully but i'm sure some players will know or at least have an idea of some of the answers.
1. I sent a bug report back in November with a screen shot of a problem with seige reports. The shot was a bad link though which SC pointed out for me... I replied to the petition but I don't think the new link I sent ever got viewed, so here it is anyways: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/790/seige.jpg 2. I've also sent another petition more recently with an issue I've had with scouting reports that is still unanswered after several weeks, where I recieved a report which is listed as successful but in the information section of the report I simply get the message: [empty] I'm not too bothered about these problems, they do seem a little unworthy of devs attention with much larger updates on the way... but for future reference it'd be great if I could get some info on that the dev-side procedure is for handling petitions? - Can you confirm that if people send spam petitions (or presumably good petitions too) then they can have a rating decreased (or increased) to change the prioriety of their future petitions? - Is there a policy or general practice of trying to answer/acknowledge all petitions at this time, other than just reading them? - If you reply to a petition 'thread' with further information does it get the same attention as the original new petition? - Any other information we can know to further increase the players' knowledge of how petitions are handled? Thanks, C. |

Hi createure, I think this is a fair enough question, and I'm happy to give some outline answers. As you rightly say, much of the core code of Illyriad is in flux at the moment due to the UI version 2, and many (but not all) of the fixes to outstanding Petitions will be fixed in the code roll out for UI v2. UI v2 also brings enhancements to the Petition Handling system at our end, enabling us to do things we're not currently able to do in the existing Petition-handling system, which is essentially very basic. Whilst you guys won't see the direct enhancements to the Petition system at our end, these enhancements include much asked for (internally) functions, such as:
I hope that helps explain some of the changes that should speed up the internal handling of Petitions. Regards, SC Edited by GM Stormcrow - 02 Jan 2011 at 18:54 |

Thanks SC. I hope more than just myself will find this informative, interesting, and yet another good reason to look forward to the new UI. ^^
