Title: CRPG Community Website
Post by: Ecko on June 18, 2011, 08:47:01 pm
Hello CRPG!

Upon request, I wanted to provide official information about the NA community site www.nacrpg.net.


It is not an official CRPG game site, it is ran by myself and some very dedicated NA players. However we are providing more options than the traditional crpg site such as:
(click to show/hide)


Currently only 5 servers are connected to the site. I would like to connect each additional game server to the site for free where they would get their server shown, admin stats (kicks, bans, mutes, ect), admin lists, server rules, and an individual donation links.

The main reason we have not gotten more of that done is because, well we are simply a small team writing the code and it takes time with real life. Once admin stats are working we will test the Shogunate server out first, then start connecting additional servers.

*Please understand, the website is not completed. Help is limited*

I hope you all enjoy the first community site, we will continue to work hard to make it enjoyable and available to all.

I was wondering when this would be presented on the forums!

Nice presentation, +1.

I recommend all NA players check this site out, as during the last week or two I found it to be a nice way to track stats on yourself as opposed to the generic battle kills and deaths on the official character page. (I especially like the TK and TKed listings).

It's pretty widely known what you want to do with this site, and what your goals are.

This site is one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen, your fonts are wrong, your image re-sizing sucks, and the general design and direction is a complete fucking failure. The idea of viewing the stats is fucking annoying and stupid, a bunch of radio buttons and excel spreadsheets, in all my years of seeing web design, this is by far one of the worst piles of shit I've ever seen. You literally ripped off the images and CSS files from the main site, and attempted to recreate the theme on some pompous way to get more donations, I come to this conclusion mainly because it seems this pile of shit that you call a website was rushed to shit to be released an then flaunted.

Everyone should already know the entire point of this site is to try and impress the devs. enough to show them that they can let you run a NA only Strategus map, obviously any dev that has any experience in web design and programming will look at this train wreck and laugh their ass off. Hey, maybe they'll let you host NA Strategus because your website is that shitty.

In the end the main general design of the site, and overall "code" that you and your "expert band of programmers" crafted to show certain server stats over this "website" (You liking these quotes?), failed. This doesn't look good, I understand there will probably be imminent flaming because the only people posting in this thread are supporters rather than critiques, but hey, criticisms should always be welcome.

TL;DR - Nice try, but your site fucking blows man, go back to the drawing board.

TL;TL;DR - Site is poo poo.

What? I'm sorry if I come off as a jerk, this is my personality, my bad.

What I'm doing here is providing criticisms (No matter how much of an ass I come off as), how can you ever be in charge of anything major to mod development if you can't handle any form of criticisms and pass everyone critiquing what you do as a troll. How self-absorbed are you? You once told me you think of yourself as the "Unofficial NA Community Manager of cRPG", I thought so too, but god damn your one bad guy at managing a community if you can't take a couple of shots at your shitty website, which is pretty clear you rushed it out.

Sure did call myself the unoffical na community manager, except of the na crpg site not the game.

There is criticism and then there's being an ass. Guess i'm not too good at reading between the two, or maybe I am. In either case I clearly stated on the post, if you didn't read, that it isn't completed. Nothing has been released not working, we've continued to add onto the site, but instead of making people wait a 1000 years for something we figured we'd do a slow release.

Still, if you are not satisfied, i encourage you to not use the site as much as you want.

You're so hostile man, you need to relax a little bit and take it with a grain of salt.

Yes, you did call yourself the Unofficial NA Comm. Manager of the entire game, and encouraged LLJK members to make a post advocating this for you (We laughed our asses off as you left), but that's another story and doesn't belong in this thread. Either way, I'm sorry.

What I meant to say is: Your initial design of the cRPG Fanclub site, sucks, I hope it gets better. Somethings you can improve on are.. The entire course of the web design, the images, the general fonts, stop using Dreamweaver to design your fucking sites you child.

But like you said, your little "I love cRPG" site isn't that important in the grand scheme of this game that I, and everyone else who thinks you did a crap job, don't have to visit it.

Also, I heard that comment about you wanted to punch me in my baby maker, most uncalled for sir. Do you actually want me to contribute? Give me the lines of code that are tracking the stats from the server (Pastebin it), and I'll draw you up some new designs so my eyes don't bleed when I stare at your god forsaken train wreck of a site.

I'm too poor for dreamweaver... the whole site was created using html and php with a little javascript thrown in. I do all of the work via source and am not a web designer or developer. My primary language is java and I stepped up to do this for fun. I am glad to see your criticism but I would rather you spend more time looking at the website before criticizing it and maybe be a bit more constructive with your criticism if you really think it will help.

Well Ecko is a nice guy by nature, so he's going to respond and try to have a conversation.  It's not a bad trait, just misplaced when dealing with Goon newmy old friends.  The quality of their members has been utter shit since the Eve players.

I looked at it, sadly.

For writing up the documents by hand it's not too bad, although you might consider getting a graphic designer, and using Drupal, as this would allow for a lot more customization and ease of access throughout the site, hence the term content management system. It's nice that you wrote the code yourself, but try and look at alternative CMS options, or alternative types of language management systems in which you're not going to be writing a thousand lines of HTML.

Rumor has it Ecko wants to responsibility of leading the entire NA community, including Strategus, that's what this site is all about isn't it? So if he is going to be leading an entire player base (Creating an NA only Strategus map), then he sure as shit needs to be able to put up with assholes who don't formulate their criticisms in gumdrops and lollipops.

I understand there will probably be imminent flaming because the only people posting in this thread are supporters rather than critiques, but hey, criticisms should always be welcome.

Title: Re: CRPG Community Website

No.  There's a difference between putting your opinion forth bluntly, and blatantly saying something with the overall goal of being a cunt and (hopefully) hurting/insulting/pissing off the person(s) you're talking to.  Everything you spewed forth had one purpose:  to be a fuckwad.  Not legitimately criticise.

*Also leading a community doesn't mean you need to put up with assholes, you can exile them.  It's why societies have had jails, deportations, exile punishments, institutions and executions throughout it's existance:  To get rid of assholes.

Coming from the guy who posted hostility the instant he entered the thread?

Where is your grain of salt? Yeesh...

EDIT: No one is asking you to sugarcoat, but you should not be surprised if people get hostile when you post your critique with a handful of insults and such. Just because this is the internet does not mean you should throw out all social mannerisms out the window. Chill, and relax.

'Prettying up' a website with nice fonts and images is nothing.  Figuring out how to connect it up with multiple cRPG servers to collect and record various statistics - that's the real work.  Good job:)

Now then, I forgot.. what's the date when you are releasing the cRPG-NA-only-version and finally freeing us from the tyranny of the Donkey King?

Oh, err, secret plans, must.. delete.. post..

Is there really a problem with someone telling you that something is wrong and that there may be a way to fix it? This really shouldn't be an issue, the website was clearly thrown out over the course of a few weeks, and this is proven by the lack of features. If you had really taken a few months to sit down and do this, would it really only have stats for players and server statuses? Why don't you stop lying to yourselves and admit it; the website is not as good as you said it would be, nor is it good enough to live up to the standards set by the main cRPG website.

How long until he needs you to donate money to get more features? Did you know that he is already planning on making you pay to see every single stat? This website isn't something coming from the bottom of his heart, it's coming from the bottom of other people's wallets. He isn't a community manager, he is a businessman.

Dasty works on the website a little bit everyday. It's up, that doesn't mean it is finished.
"..would it really only have stats for players and server statuses?" What do you want? Flash games? Streaming porn? As for the standards set by the main cRPG site....all I can say is.... wat?

This website isn't something coming from the bottom of his heart, it's coming from the bottom of other people's wallets. He isn't a community manager, he is a businessman.
Where'd you hear that? Pay to see every single stat? That, my friend, is absurd.... He's going to make you pay for every letter in your character's/alts' names.

On a serious note (concerning donating), what person who runs a handful of server wouldn't try to get people to donate? The servers don't run on sunshine and smiles (though we would have none because of you people). The website is a nice little gimmick for NA players to track their stats....you guys want it to wipe your ass when you take a shit and fan your face while it feeds you grapes?


This is why we can't have nice things!

What are the premium content plans? I remember one of you talking about paying website members being able to hide their alts and stuff like that

That was just some brainstorming to figure out incentives to get people to donate, but as far as "premium" content plans, they're not going to work on anything like that until they get all the basics that they want added and polished. "Premium" (horrible word to describe it, this is not LLJK monthly membership, mmkay?) content is something we might see far down the road, but don't expect anything like that soon, maybe never.

What are the premium content plans? I remember one of you talking about paying website members being able to hide their alts and stuff like that

Was still brainstorming what would be a good idea or not. chadz does a lottery for a +1 heirloom point every Saturday, so i was thinking of doing something web based, not game items.

One of the ideas was donating (price not determined but probably no more than 5 dollars) to hide your alternate characters on the player stats.

Also since the recorded stats do not reset when you retire, we wanted to make a function where players can reset the counter manually. I think what we decided was to make it available 1 time free each month, then if you continue to want to reset you'll have to donate 3 dollars minimum for 3 more times.

Then the next package i was thinking of, was highlighting stats and creating a donation only server. Still brainstorming about that.


I know many of you don't like the idea of donating for these options. But if i can come up with some simple ways to pay for the servers with things that arn't game changing. I'm gonna do it and keep it modest.

Sorry if keeping the servers running for almost a year with less than 200 dollars total of public donation is considered business like. I believe that we've paid 1800 dollars total for the most popular NA servers....how much have you contributed to keep things going?

Going to be making a media section on the www.nacrpg.net site. The page will contain two sections:


The Official CRPG Mod Videos will contain quality videos or trailers of the mod that isn't player or guild specific.

The Clan Videos section will have every single banner from the banner list. When clicking a banner, it will list every guild who uses said banner. You will be able to click the guild and view any videos they wish to upload.

I ask anyone and every to post a link to their video here. Thank you.

www.nacrpg.net is now recording Kill Streaks. If you live between rounds, your streak is still live unless you are switched teams. If the map changes, your streak might still continue as well if your on the same team as the last map.

 You can view stats by going to player stats, selecting region, then game mode or leave it for total.


Servers recording stats:
NA-100
NA-80
NA-Siege
NA-Duel
EU-Shogunate

More to come hopefully:
EU_Pecores
NA_Blackrose
EU_Kapikulu

Next Project for stats:

A nemesis feature that records who you have killed the most and who has killed you the most.  :twisted:

Pretty nice feature, thanks!

Just a suggestion for the clan video section : Selection by banner is a cool idea but I find it kind of hard to navigate. The list is long and some people may not not know what they refer to.

A simple list of names could work beter.

Soon there will be a page function, where only 8 are shown per page to help navigate. There will also be page and banner numbers.

Would it be an option if we are to get a bigger server, planning to do so - to be able to add a Melee-only server and a Battle server to this list? It will be EU.

maybe chadz doesnt want stats becuase it turns people into greedy kill whores concerned only with stats and kdr and end up ganking 1 peasent instead of winning it for the team? or the fact that support role chars get totally fucked over with stats that dont include assists :P

actually kinda agree on the too much emphasis on KDR thing....for the same reasons cited.
i know some clans wanted a way to see someone's overall skills for strategus purposes though...

you know...the big issue is in SIEGE because it could make people too focused on KDR rather than objectives....but that could be solved by TRACKING your WIN/LOSS RATIO in siege as well....that of course is at the mercy of your team/map...but could be just as interesting to track for various reasons.

So is kill streak the most kills you got in one round or does it carryover from round to round and even map to map until you die??

And the number of time someone been team killed? (TKD)?

I've already noticed it negatively affecting NA siege.  I've been seeing quite a few good players avoiding the meat grinders and just disappearing somewhere along the way to the flag (e.g. hiding around a corner in a wall section with a great maul overhead ready for free kills instead of pushing.)  I'll probably just play on EU siege now (i usually lag less there anyway.)

quite frankly i saw the same thing on siege where known players with high k/ds would sit out when on attacking team or wait until the end to charge, etc.  Haven't noticed it as much in battle.

Nice, going to make the game even more competetive! I would still like to suggest though that there would possibly be made a device that can show your multiplier ratio, such as 100% be across all boards for a players statistic, and for that player it would be something like x1 60%, x2 20%, x3 10%, x4 7%, x5 3%. That way players whom commonly go for the objective, can be statistically awarded properly! :D
Title: Re: Community videos
Post by: MrShine on June 29, 2011, 03:08:24 pm
Having a round win/loss % or even an average multiplier ( like x2.6, x1.8, etc) would be great, because imo that's just as (if not more) important when trying to determine player value as KDR is.

Many of your suggestions with round wins and losses are great, however I am not sure we can implement those due to some limitations we have when gathering data.

As for unique players, the statistic you can see at the top, that is unique CDKeys that have logged into our servers and the EU Shogunate server.

More EU servers will most likely be hooked up this weekend.

Its come to my attention that some are saying that those who got hacked are doing the hacking through the NA site. Supposedly by looking up alt characters then somehow gaining access through those characters.

There are four things that make this possible:

(click to show/hide)

Some, not all, characters who have been hacked have had password protected alts, and or no alts listed on the www.nacrpg.net site. Therefore we feel is is not our responsibility for this event.  Regardless the risk in security remains.

I suggest that all players with alts make sure you have a password and do not share that password with anyone. Player and alternate name search will remain up on the www.nacrpg.net site.

Game On.

Hello, I am Ecko, and all of you who said I had any type of blame were stupid, and this is me telling you this politely, like a normal individual. An entire thread, dedicated to my niceties.

They were not targeted using my site, any complaints about the issue of viewing alts. I did not simply throw away, I took into consideration deeply. I am not the sole person responsible if there was blame, I would share the blame, if hypothetically there was.

I am Ecko, the great, the retarded mighty.

Speaking of which, I was using "Fallen_Akilina" last night on NA_2 and my stats were never recorded. Is NA_2 not tracking stats due to the server name change confusing things?

EDIT:
Paraphrase:

[11:48] <@Shik> btw ecko I was playing on the NA servers and I have 60 less kills than I should
[11:48] <@Shik> according to stats

Sounds more stat-whorish, I like it ^_^

So what you (ecko) are saying here is that your site did pose a serious security risk, but it's not your responsibility, because despite the fact the hackers used your site to look up alt names (which they never could have done without your site), it's the players fault for not passwording their alt.

With due respect, but that's bullshit.

The security issue is not the site where ppl can lookup the alts, it's the fact that everytime you log in to the game with a new name an alt is generated automatically, which will be changed with some patch, as chadz said.
As long as not both, the username and the password, are confidential (which isn't the case here, because the login name is the same as the character's name) a list of usernames must not be enough to enable someone to hack into one's account.

So the security breach is/was the automated generation of (edit: unprotected!) alts, the stats-page only made it a bit easier. Unsecure passwords and social engineering are threats that are always present, though.
