I'd like to suggest a couple structures that increases the length of time one's guild log goes back for.

 

That or..... giving players the option to not have cookies wiped and/or longer guild logs in general. Basically HCS ate my cookies :P, and I lost info this morning.... getting randomly force logged out this morning.... without wanting to.

 

I didn't lose my guild logs when the servers were acting up a couple weekends ago during the 2x event, and had a guild log (thanks to FSH) going back roughly a month..... and now do not suddenly, awkwardly enough right before I wanted to review that info.....

 

Not sure if I'd be able to acquire that info via request in Support ticket or not, but that'd be fantastic if players/guilds could have the option to have longer logs/guild logs stored if they so wished. If I'd known I'd get auto bumped I'd have copy-pasted the whole thing into notepad++.... but yeah....

 

Basically making Guild Log go longer to say 2 weeks or maybe longer as an additional level to Guild Advisor, or a new structure called "Guild Transcript"

 

The other Structure would double the length of a guild's Titan kill log via scout tower. Basically a Scout tower level 4. It'd double/triple the length of the Titan logs for a guild. I'd also request if there would be a timestamp for all titan logs.

Guild log retention has nothing to do with cookies or players logging out. The logs are retained for a certain number of days (I think it's 3, but my log isn't busy enough to verify), and that's it.

 

Do we need a longer retention period for guild logs? Meh, not really, I don't think. You're always on 'em about getting rid of data that you believe is slowing down the servers, but want them to save more for you? Personally if there's something I think I might need later, I just screenshot it and save it locally.

I want to see some changes on Scout Tower too:

- A quick link for the Scout Tower on the Guild tab (The Titan Log redirecting to the Scout Tower is a FSH feature)
- Keep the TKP Bonus your guild got on the Scout Tower, showing the amount of kills and the bonus the guild received.
(If possible, distribute the TKP according to the % of kills each player did, will be awesome and will save me a lot of time while keep tracking)

An AWESOME feature would be an option to send a Log Message to the Titan Leaders(s) of the Guild, the player would be chose on the Guild Preferences, and the player will receive something like "Your guild received X TKP on the Yahoo (Titan)".

Hmm.... we actually have it good here on FS.  Many other games that I play either have no messaging system at all, for either guild or personal logs, and most of the ones that do have a message limit.  I learned a long time ago to make screenies of any important messages I have, and all of those are saved 3 places, in my cloud, on my brother's hard drive, and on my thumbdrive.  I used to just copy paste to my notepad, but sometimes text data there gets corrupted and you can't read it anymore.  I've always wanted a save box for personal messages, and it makes sense for guild council members to have a place to save important guild logs, too.  Until we do have something like that, I will just use my way.  It's a little time consuming, and maybe a little obsessive, but, it's me, y'all, I'm weird.


Just one old lady's opinion

Ummm via FSHelper storing x pages of guild log history for some reason it's stored via cookies or other browser data. When I log out or am forced to as was the case I lose those records....that's all stored as data on my own computer.... so I must dispute your assertion, but regardless, given the massive amount of data being pointlessly retained, when I know previously they've purged old accounts (why not anymore?)

 

I think having the option to do so isn't much to ask. Regardless I think titan logs being extended with a 4th level tower to 2x the titan logs stored for guilds isn't going to come close to the amount of data as with otherwise. Also, given the scant amount of guilds with heavy activity, compared to the overall data amounts being tied up elsewhere simply having an option that most guilds would not use.... might be a viable solution. Even having another setting via Guild preferences isn't a bad idea either.

 

Long story short it's a combination of dataload on the server that is the issue, and huge swaths of it remains idle and unused. Minimal data use as this is not running significantly counter to my overall suggestions. If data isn't going to be cleared up, why not get a decent amount of use for those of us who actually play the game?
