We've tweaked the 'New Medal Achieved' Tavern Rumour so that it will now only update twice a day (once at 6am and once at 6pm).

Thanks, much appreciated hoof.

[Croscahd]

Always enjoy the updates! Thanks!

Much appreciated Hoof!

Shouldn't it be tweaked to perhaps show just diamond achievements? When the list gets as big as I imagine it will be, no ones gonna look at it. I guess lets see what it looks like.

After a few days the list would update once in a blue moon. Though I do think this idea has some merit, maybe instead a cutoff at crystal, or perhaps create a list similar to rising stars instead.

Thanks for the tweak! I like that even low-level medals will be announced. Newer players will likely appreciate having their achievements noted.

Why not have a side bar that shows the medals earned in the passed hour and changes each page refresh

And I also think the game states bar is not really needed when your states already shows on top of the page under your experience bar

Maybe in the Spoils of War box?

i enjoyed getting an update more often.. any way we could get a preference to speed it up?

+1 Was a nice touch. Guess it wasn't 'efficient' enough for some people though...

I have to say: even at only twice a day, these medal reports are rather dominating the tavern rumor archive, and make it harder to search for other, more useful, information.

 

I'd also say that posting a list of 120 odd medals is a great way to hide the medal winners in plain sight. It is too much information, and so is more likely to be ignored.

 

I'm not a fan of this form of rumor, but if you are going to do it can I suggest you keep it to no more than maybe a dozen medal awards each time? Or (having just read some earlier posts) the sidebar idea would be better still.

[Pardoux]

I'd still prefer an option to turn the alert off completely

[RebornJedi]

The medalists should be placed alphabetically

While I can appreciate what you are trying to accomplish, I do agree that the medals are really dominating the news now. Can you at least have a way for us to toggle the actual list open and closed? Would be nice to be able to read the rest of the news without having to go to archives. Thanks!

Should maybe have made it like a new FSBOX window, one that gets triggered and the new notice added to the roster (for an hour) whenever someone achieves a new medal.

 

People often moan that medals are worthless and want bonuses added to them, yet when Hoof tries to make them seem more important, other people moan...

 

Another thing HCS could maybe do is rethink the size of their overall window, Fallensword only takes up a very small place in my monitor screen, if I maximise the window there is a huge amount of space to the left and right that is unused. Perhaps if all the slots for information were bigger, people wouldn't mind as much when these new things get added?

[bloody18]

Just noticed.. Nicely done!

[dowuones]

Maybe Guild Loyalty Medals should be awarded  the first time you log in.

In the last Tavern Rumor there are new 98 medal achieved, 82 of them are guild loyalty medals and a big part of them are inactive players, there are even terminated players.

 

Also it would be nice to have medals achieved by guild members in guild log.

[silenced]

I think it's great that medal achievements are shown, but I think it would be better to not have notifications about them... it's kind of like spamming the way it is now... I think a scroll list that is permanently shown on a part of the Home page would be better, so that anyone can look when they want to, but not be fooled into thinking something is actually happening within the game... kinda like how the details are added to featured guilds and a scroll function is used... otherwise, I can see a lot of players getting peeved off somewhat... just my 2 pence worth 

[gomezkilla]

With the new medal notifications, can we have a section somewhere where we can view who has certain medals (specifically Diamond)? I would like to see who has achieved the Diamond medal without waiting for an update in the Rumours or searching through past Rumour updates.
