  • New Staff Position Proposal

    Within the past couple monthes I have read countless trencher's complaints about how <ZH>'s never accept help calls, or rarely ever do so without sending a Robohelp message, usually useless to the player.

    This is why I think that making a new, very low level of staff (maybe even without granting powers) which does nothing but answer help calls would be a great idea:

    1) With the new staff position, lets say they're called "Help Responsers" or <HR>'s, the help calls sent from the tw population WILL be answered by the <HR>'s, as it is they're only job. With the <HR>'s also answering these helps calls, this allows the <ZH>'s to be able to answer more indepth questions such as ?cheater or racism calls, and allow <ER>'s to stick to their event hosting.

    2) On top of releiving the job of the ZH's and ER's, <HR>'s could also act as a "farm staff position," in that players who show they handle the job well, could be better choices for new <ZH>'s, rather then players who are just picked outta having been known, or caught being nice to pubbers, etc.

    3) Finally, I think that the addition of this new staff position would add much more, not to mention faster, responses, resulting in an overall increase in TW player satisfaction.

    I chose to use <HR> as a sample, and it would not necessarily be the name i would choose if it were up to me.

    Not counting their job to start up base, javduel, wbduel ect.. that is basicly the job description of a ZH. Zone Helpers do not have the ability to warn players except for the two-three arenas they're given to host and even then they're not allowed to use it. They have no ability to ban players either. I would opt for a change in recruitment policy allowing a lot more people to enter into the position and limiting what they can actually do or gradually give them more powers and responsibilities (so abuse would be less likely/significant).

      Responser is not a word.

      Why would you want to relieve the jobs of the <ZH>?? Just hire some more reliable players and get rid of the useless ones. Adding a new type of staffer has been suggested before.

        Alot of the time it is these kinds of help calls:
        help: (Annoyingbitch) (TWTown): OMG PLEASE HOST ZOMBIES!!

        And of course robohelp respond to those automatically cause it sees the word 'host'. That's like 3/4 of the hlep calls we get and usually...yes...ZHs dont respond to those because they don't need to.

        But help calls like these:
        help: (Mynameissam) (Public 14): I am a new player. I need a list of commands to work my ship

        These typs of help calls are always responded to and if not by a ZH...by other staff members.

        We don't need a new staff position. We just need less annoying people who always want their way but most of the time don't get it because they are dumasses.

                      yesterday night on dev chat, Twerp did 3 help calls, asking ONE simple question and there ~WERE~ staff members online because a staffer could confirm that, however they did not answer it. then melon came on and he said hsi brother was banned beeing afk while they were eating at taco bell..he did a(or few) help calls but none of them got answered even though there were staff online, so don't say that ALL serious help calls are beeing answered, because they are not! <ZH> should stop sending those idiotic robohelp messages. Those messages are okay when you send them to new players, but please don't send them to players who know this game and are just asking a question. I know they make it a bit easier for <ZH> but remember, easy is not always the good way!

                      btw where is falker I miss his hostings!
                      help: (how do i shot) (Public 0): how do i travel diagonally? i only have up, down, left and right keys.

                        What makes you think the "<HR>'s" will be any more efficient at taking ?help calls than the ZH's currently are? I know that the only job of HR's is to answer ?help calls, but that's basically what ZH's do plus being able to host 2 or 3 events. New staff positions have been proposed before, and it's not going to happen.

                          What about a new arena like ?go Help, helpful players and Zone Helpers can stick around there and provide support, the map can contain tips and solutions in LVZ and map content.

                              Instead of making another map, we increase the knowledge of our <ZH>s?
