View Full Version : Ambassadors of Alterra - First Draft Of Constitution



Pandar
10-16-2011, 07:11 PM
Hear ye! Hear ye! I present to you the first Constitution of the Ambassadors of Alterra. After careful consideration of everyone's feedback, I've written this first draft as a plan for moving forward. You are welcome to give feedback on the constitution.

AMBASSADORS OF ALTERRA

Mission:

Ambassadors of Alterra is a volunteer program for the helpful residents of Alterra to help guide and assimilate new players of Pocket Legends. Our mission is to welcome as many new players as possible to the game, be their first friend and help them get started on their journey.

Who:

Ambassadors of Alterra are experienced players who simply enjoy helping out new users and bringing them in to the community.

The first group will be chosen by STS - future AoA members will be chosen by both STS and existing AoA members. While we only want the friendliest, most helpful members in this group, it will not be as exclusive as Guardians.

How:

Ambassadors will use an extra character slot for their AoA alt.
AoA accounts will be given costumes, etc to distinguish themselves from regular players
AoA accounts will level cap at 10, so they can't be used to power level new players (we don't want to kill the experience)
When roleplaying as an AoA, players will hang out in Forest Haven to greet and help new players
AoA accounts are free to do as they wish, jumping in a game with new players or escorting them along a quest/dungeon
Ambassadors will have a private group and sub-forum on the forum to coordinate out of the game (and maybe get exclusive updates :O)

Guidelines:

The priority of Ambassadors of Alterra is new users. When logged in on an Ambassador account, AoA members must always have their focus on new players - even if they have to abandon a conversation with a friend to help one.

AoA members will be held to the strictest standards on both their AoA and regular accounts. Ambassadors are role models to the community and must represent the best of the best.

------

What's Next?

In the next few days we will reach out to the first group of people we've chose to become Ambassadors. Once the first group is in we will collectively decide what will be on the applications. Applications will be open to all within 2-4 weeks.

Correct! Awesome!

EDIT: Wait, you said capped to power level. We are here to not power level, but rather act as a friend in helping.

No, capped to not power level.


AoA accounts will level cap at 10, so they can't be used to power level new players (we don't want to kill the experience)


And devs, colored names would be awesome!

Not sure how easy that is to do right now. At the very first, at least, it will be costumes. Obviously will be pushing for colored names :)

This is a wonderful idea and am glad to see it finally being implemented. I do have one question: I understand there is an application process. However, may we also nominate individuals for this. I know a few forumers who would be perfect for this.

Thank you STS for contunuing to work towards improving the community!

This is all i do now give back to the community as a Founder of the game and help or new members enjoy every aspect PL has to offer. I will most deffinatly be applying for the job as soon as possible, unless i am one of the lucky few to be chosen by sts for this responsible role. Thanks again for all these impressive ideas mod7 and the rest of devs cant wait to see this program blossom!

This seems like a great idea.
However there's a bit of advice I want to say.
I've spent some of my time in Forest Haven talking with new players. What I do notice is that most of them are generally quiet and keep to themselves. They will usually just run and then leave. Some just play a bit, log off, and never come back again. Others are a bit violent with their words. I believe that this AoA program should rather be a disguise. To have the best results, I would like to see how new people react to ordinary low levels, not those who are in special costumes.
Good luck with the program. I'm sure it will be successful.
Perhaps later a higher level part could be added.

My concern with colored names is the appearance of being a STS employee. Right now, the definitive way to know if someone is a STS employee is the color of their name.

Just throwing that out there.

I can see where sam has a very good point. Maybe different sized font or font style of our names?

Whirlzap
10-16-2011, 08:44 PM
Guys I just don't think that's the point.
This isn't supposed to be like GoA too much.

The point of this is not the costume or even the special appearance.
It should JUST be a simple level 10 rather talkative character that has some fun going around when they have the urge to help. Just simple as that. I think the costume/special glitter is just here as an incentive.

Yes, was just about to mention that. I don't think any player position should get that honor, as a vanity item that distinguishes you is more than enough. I really like the fact that you are locking the vanity to a Level 10 character though. Why? Sometimes, from experience, wearing a exclusive vanity shield all the time is not the smartest thing in the world when walking into a midst of players. Sure, helping is awesome, but being bombarded with way too many questions that you can't answer singlehandedly isn't.

Coming to my point--

For characters like these? There should be a few stationed in each town and only a certain limit of questions should be allowed to be asked at once. (like a quota). This way it will be organized and players won't be overwhelmed. When they are done assisting, they can hit some sort of "check" button to allow more questions to be answered. A permanent chat bubble over there heads would be a great way to advertise help as well. The vanities could also be used for this.

this is gonna be great for helping out new players.
i remember starting when there wasnt really any tutorial at all (founders, *high five*) and it was a little bit confusing on what everything was

topskillz
10-16-2011, 08:50 PM
Exactly barrington hahaha, it was very confusing!

Whirlzap
10-16-2011, 08:50 PM
Yeah, I'm agreeing with Apollo. Again, I like the idea of being "regular."

Remember, these people are the next players of PL. we want to see how they ACT.
From this, we can also pick some new Guardians. Right now, most Guardians are from forums and are at high levels.
Have we ever thought of picking some low levels? No.

I can't speak for others but I certainly have noticed many people acting more respectful when a Dev or GOA is there.
The similar effect will apply with this new vanity thing. Lower levels won't act like they usually do if they see you with sparkly stuff. Other than that, there's nothing else really there for me to say, so have fun with the program.

Piosidon

topskillz
10-16-2011, 08:55 PM
I can see how everyone is saying that the special costumes is a negative but it can be a positive. The new players are very quite, i try and talk to them but dont ever get many to talk back.

So what am i getting at? Well with the costumes or vanity they see that and look and ask why you have it or how to get it? It might spark a convo and get more active! Then you can ask many if they are having problems and they might respond more just not blow you off! But thats just one opinion from me.

Whirlzap
10-16-2011, 08:56 PM

we has giant mob of low levels asking questions.

I think it will encourage people to join this for all the wrong reasons. How many people are going to apply so they can get the custom costumes and what have you. I know no one will admit it, but yeah. Collectors and such will definately be trying to apply. Custom colors on the names is HUGE for some people, and I can see alot of people applying just for that. Even if they are qualified, are they honestly going to be helping new players, or just showing off, and what are you guys gonna do to make sure that doesnt happen?

I would have not even mentioned all the perks of the job yet, just to see who was genuinely interested in it.

Shadowie
10-16-2011, 09:31 PM
*omg, ninja!

Just my 2 cents thought:
1) it a really good idea.

My 2 cents question
1) why cap at lvl 10 only? Personally i feel that the complete of just forest haven help isnt just enough. Maybe till lvl 15?

My 2 cents wishes
1) hope these program works well and not be a flop.

*Think well and u might just understand why i say it might fail.

They should not have any perks. I'm willing to do this without a perk. Same reason why I would care less if the GOA program was disbanded. I can be helpful without it. +1

Nah, see, GoA's were selected by the devs, there was/is no application process, and most who got picked weren't even expecting it. Therefore, it's not like anyone can become a GoA on a whim to get the "perks" we speak of. From the sounds of it it should be pretty slack to become an AoA, if you can apply and have your friends recommend you and stuff. Idc either way because I'm not applying, and barely play PL these days, but I think an AoA vanity shield should be enough. Is there really a need for costumes, colored names, and all that jazz?

I hope I got my point across, I just mean that becoming an AoA will be way easier than GoA, if you apply and want it bad enough, and are good with words when applying.

AoA members will have separate, low level accounts. The main point of the costumes (and names, or whatever else) is to help differentiate them from a regular user. That way a new player can spot them right away as something "special." Sure, there are people who will apply just so they can get something - but it's easy for anyone to see through that.

Ambassadors will be picked because they're already doing what an ambassador would do anyway. The program itself is A) a reward for those already doing it and B) a way to make helping new players more organized and fun for the people who like to do it

I miss hanging out too bro, unfortunately I gave my glyph away when I quit, and am currently poor and gearless. Not even sure how I could recover from that..

Plus I find Nuris extremely boring, my guild is super lame there and to get in a good one I'd have to leave KoC in SL, which simply is out of the question for me :(. It's really kind of a shame I lost so much interest in PL, I'm hoping Mt.Fang reignites the spark.

I can definitely give you some loaner gear should you need it. I would give you the set itself if I didn't just suffer a 17M loss from the announcement. It's all good though. I'll PM you so I don't take this thread off topic, lmao. You can PM me as well.

Yeah, and that is kind of what we're trying to help with. Many new players act that way because its completely new to them, they dont have friends there, its an unknown environment. I've seen foul-mouthed new players turn into super great, helpful community leaders - its all about making that first impression. Most all of the time when they realize theyre in a great place, that kind of thing stops. And the costumes are there to kind of help awe them. Thoughts?

Pandar

Definitely would call it a sister program. Guardians are more involved in the high level stuff of the game, this is for those who just like to make friends and lend a helping hand!

10-16-2011, 10:11 PM
This is a great idea.
There is someone always watching the AOA members. There will be people who make alts and be in these groups. The devs will pop in and test you. I bet they made a special mini program that tracks the AOA alts outside of your normal chat. There to smart to just let it fly and hope it goes good.

****************************************
There is no way a GOA should loose anything. They did what they do everyday without knowing that STS would put in a program to let them shine. I think most of them should have there reward.

**********************************
I think the costume or shield should stand out. Maybe a bright shield with ? on it. Maybe a floating thing over your head.


I think they should have something so they stand out. There could even be a add into the starting quests of the game to say. "If you see someone with this (whatever). They will help you ."

Also, another idea. You might wanna have an NPC as an 'AoA' explaining what AoAs do and how they can help.

On a side note-Helping players is alot of fun you get to meet a whole different group of people that are low levels and build friendships with them as you watch them grow to a higher level!

Yea it's gonna be a great program. I just have one suggestion, what about having ambassadors for each town? They would be locked at those lvls, I mean we have different ambassadors for different countries. Why not different towns? Ambassadors could be assigned towns depending on there favorite town or knowledge of a town and maps. But of course have a all around knowledge of the entire game. Also once the got to ao they could be on there own or the GoAs could take over idk guys just an idea.... Please post some feedback of the idea :)

Some sort of announcement and reminder of what the AOAs will be, what they look like, what they do, etc, should be available.

IMO, it'd help prevent all those questions that are easily answered by "I'm an AOA, I do this, that, and so on.."

Maybe a new quest in FH that points out what the AOA will exactly look like.

They should not have any perks. I'm willing to do this without a perk. Same reason why I would care less if the GOA program was disbanded. I can be helpful without it. +1
I agree, perks or no perks, I just want to help people. It's fun. And anyhow, I lost all my stuff to a hack, what else but help could I be giving? I can't give pinks nor hooch hats, but what I can give I give, friendship and help.

This is a wonderful idea. I often run into players who are level 10 - 20 who have many questions about basic game mechanics, quests, skills, etc. They often look and ask for help. Its funny how often someone will ask, Can you help mr with a quest? And when I say, Yeah sure! They are like really, no one has been willing to help!

Again, wonderful idea! This just shows how wonderful our developers are!

Maybe as the program evolves there can be Ambassadors as at every level (based on area requirements?) that can help with the transition. Certainly there is a difference in gameplay just between Dark Forest and Balefort alone! :tongue:

Orcish
10-17-2011, 02:35 PM
Perhaps adding a sign in each town where players can request for assistance (maybe a lvl restriction)? Either a player listing of who needs help, (can message that person and or add them to your friends list) or a paging system where a random ambassador is contacted via pm with a different color to allow the ambassador to distinguish a normal pm from an ambassador request? An ambassador listing where new players can contact an ambassador from the roster?

Edit- Basically a PoC where ambassadors and new players can find each other easier.

I think it would be really cool if a you guys were to install a tell function (ie: /help "question") that would come across to all ambassadors similar to the guild chat function. This way if someone had a question but wasn't able to locate an ambassador they would be able to send a tell and have available ambassadors be alerted ind of like a bat signal....lol

Any thoughts?

Cascade
10-17-2011, 03:16 PM
Yeah it was already suggested and I think /a 'Your question here' would be better and more simple. You have to look at the abuse of this though bunch of people could just spam the ambassadors too.

I used to do this with hunnyhelper (Level 5 using the Guardian Shield when it had high armor). Important thing to look for is players with unspent stats, though that might not be as big a problem anymore with the 'auto-leveling'.

Yeh...lol... I saw after I posted there were some similiar ideas :) as for the spamming ambassadors, I think there are ways to prevent this ranging from restricting the /help tell to once every minute to allowing ambassadors to mute people abusing the help line. Also it must be considered that spamming is possible in many ways and sometimes we just have to trust people's ability to determine right from wrong :)

10-17-2011, 03:48 PM
Another suggestion, cap the ambassadors at like 5 or 6, but make the ambassadors gear a little stronger (like effectively making them level 10). The reason for this suggestion is that they would not 'raise the gear/threat level'. If they did, for sub-10 players, having an ambassador in their game would make it harder, and also make it so they can not loot level specific items. Just a thought.

PL has been needing something like this for some time. I can recall countless occasions where I have seen new players asking for help in Forest Haven and there has simply been players willing to provide them with some help or give some advice. As long as the people involved in the AoA are actively helping and don't just do it for a week or so and do no more to assist, the system should be a successful one.

Pakax
10-18-2011, 10:05 AM
I think it may make sense to give the ambassadors a few goodies that they can distribute to the newbies. I remember that one of the things that hooked me was that a few guys gave me their drops at the start and it really helped. Maybe each ambassador should have a set number of purple and pink items that they can give to the needy when they start?

ps: goodies that can't be sold on cs note.

Hear ye! Hear ye! I present to you the first Constitution of the Ambassadors of Alterra. After careful consideration of everyone's feedback, I've written this first draft as a plan for moving forward. You are welcome to give feedback on the constitution.

AMBASSADORS OF ALTERRA

Mission:

Ambassadors of Alterra is a volunteer program for the helpful residents of Alterra to help guide and assimilate new players of Pocket Legends. Our mission is to welcome as many new players as possible to the game, be their first friend and help them get started on their journey.

Who:

Ambassadors of Alterra are experienced players who simply enjoy helping out new users and bringing them in to the community.

The first group will be chosen by STS - future AoA members will be chosen by both STS and existing AoA members. While we only want the friendliest, most helpful members in this group, it will not be as exclusive as Guardians.

How:

Ambassadors will use an extra character slot for their AoA alt.
AoA accounts will be given costumes, etc to distinguish themselves from regular players
AoA accounts will level cap at 10, so they can't be used to power level new players (we don't want to kill the experience)
When roleplaying as an AoA, players will hang out in Forest Haven to greet and help new players
AoA accounts are free to do as they wish, jumping in a game with new players or escorting them along a quest/dungeon
Ambassadors will have a private group and sub-forum on the forum to coordinate out of the game (and maybe get exclusive updates :O)

Guidelines:

The priority of Ambassadors of Alterra is new users. When logged in on an Ambassador account, AoA members must always have their focus on new players - even if they have to abandon a conversation with a friend to help one.

AoA members will be held to the strictest standards on both their AoA and regular accounts. Ambassadors are role models to the community and must represent the best of the best.

------

What's Next?

In the next few days we will reach out to the first group of people we've chose to become Ambassadors. Once the first group is in we will collectively decide what will be on the applications. Applications will be open to all within 2-4 weeks.


You have no idea how excited I am for this. I will be applying as soon as an application goes up! I've been working my tail off in PL helping people, instead of leveling and etc. My boyfriend (who does not play the game) is even checking forums and etc for me about this program. Thanks Moderator7!

Great work mod7! Im lovin it. Im still campaigning for the ? Staff! Can't wait! Ill definately Be applying.

Royal Staff of Information, Level 10, Purple in color, of course, like the other Royal Staffs, just a slight tweak to make it into a full "?" shape, animation added when answering a question...

Hmmm...how about taking not-power-levelling up a step...
Give the AoA's a "Helm of Invincibility" which makes give them like 999 armor, but disables all their skills and weapons.
That way they could tag along on runs and offer advice and information, but not participate in the fray...
Just a thought...

Just my 2 cents thought:

My 2 cents question
1) why cap at lvl 10 only? Personally i feel that the complete of just forest haven help isnt just enough. Maybe till lvl 15?

My 2 cents wishes
1) hope these program works well and not be a flop.

*Think well and u might just understand why i say it might fail.

i agree with you about the level cap

yeah. i didnt know how this game worked, but i was too proud to ask for help. i deeply regret not asking for help when i started. it took me 3 weeks to find out you could use the world map, and by then i would have already been level 20, but i wasnt sadly.

Hey sorry for getting back to this so late. I like what you're thinking, but this program is pretty much only for new players. Once players get past level 13 or so they have a pretty good grasp of the game. That's when the Guardians become more influential to the community.

Cascade

Thanks for the update Mod7! Now I see where it's going. Ambassadors help the low levels get a grasp of what Pocket Legends is and what they can do. Then when they are a higher level the Guardians help them out!

I really like this program, but people are going to have to realize all those who want to be a member also have to take on the challenges. I realized how frustrating it can be to explain to new players in detail on how to do the quests for Halloween event after attempting it last night. New players aren't familiar with the interface or the maps. Thus, you have to spoon feed them. Sure, it's fun after the first few, but I'm anxious to know who will actually have the energy to do it as a daily task. I have tried to do it, it's definitely tough work and you have to learn to keep your calm.


I also noticed some qualities that people are going to need. For example:

-Patience
-Clear and Understandable English
-Grammar! No short abbreviations, as it can confuse the new players.
-More grammar, being able to give help not only emphasizes on information but also on the effectiveness to transmit knowledge.
-Time
-Level Headedness. If a new player just isn't getting it, you can't explode on them. (I remember how difficult that was! LOL)

-Level Headedness. If a new player just isn't getting it, you can't explode on them. (I remember how difficult that was! LOL)


Just a few thoughts
Keep trying u will b able to not explode. I stopped exploding a while ago and now start to give tour every once in a while to allow them to know where everything is most(as cascade said) will ignore me even if I tell them how to talk and u know they r new by the way they just wander around aimlessly.

I really like this program, but people are going to have to realize all those who want to be a member also have to take on the challenges. I realized how frustrating it can be to explain to new players in detail on how to do the quests for Halloween event after attempting it last night. New players aren't familiar with the interface or the maps. Thus, you have to spoon feed them. Sure, it's fun after the first few, but I'm anxious to know who will actually have the energy to do it as a daily task. I have tried to do it, it's definitely tough work and you have to learn to keep your calm.


I also noticed some qualities that people are going to need. For example:

-Patience
-Clear and Understandable English
-Grammar! No short abbreviations, as it can confuse the new players.
-More grammar, being able to give help not only emphasizes on information but also on the effectiveness to transmit knowledge.
-Time
-Level Headedness. If a new player just isn't getting it, you can't explode on them. (I remember how difficult that was! LOL)

Very well said. I would consider myself to have all of them, except for maybe time...................

Yeah, but instead of attending to those, wouldn't it make more sense to attend to the ones who seem to be asking questions? Those are the players that are likely to make a commitment and possibly become prominent members of the community.

Haha I have plenty of time cuz I'm home schooled usually finish school before noon every day.



Edit: Like Apollo said, If players ask questions that means they are willing to learn meaning they will most likely love Pocket Legends a become a long term player!

Is your home schooling working fine for high school? If you plan to apply to UC colleges, make sure the homeschooling you get is A-G accredited, or it will be hard to get into UC Colleges, which are some of the top in the US. PM me if you have any questions regarding that. :)

And simply helping others will not guarantee you a spot as an AoA

Don't necropost.

Hey skel.... Could you try to be a little more supportive to newer forum members when ur answering?

The person above you has very few posts and we can assume they don't even know what necro posting is or even why it's important to try not to.

You've made no attempt to explain why or even to address the content of their post.

We ALL need to try to be more welcoming to newer forum members, and try to explain in more detail if they are still finding their feet here on the forums....

Thanks in advance buddy, PM me if ya want more info.

I'm gonna double post now...... To separate the two answers....

Hey Ace, firstly thanks for showing an interest in helping out the newer players in PL. Helping out newer players is a vital part of what makes the PL community so enjoyable.

The AoA (Ambassadors of Alterra) programme is run by both STS ( the game developers) and the current AoA's. Entry to the programme is by selection only by both the current AoA's and STS. The final process is currently being finalised but essentially you need to get out there and help the newer players, keep standards high and most importantly ADD to each players gaming experience. Which basically means not being in their face and trying too hard, or shouting every 10 seconds in Forest Haven 'Any One Need Help?'. You need to seek out opportunities to assist new players, by looking at their stats, builds, gear and playing styles. Offer small amount of advice and back off if it's not needed. And, another important factor is being considerate of the more experienced players, many of whom won't want your assistance or appreciate any spam messages offering help to everyone in a town or map.

Hopefully this gives you some guidance to get you started.... It takes some time to get noticed so keep helping out and I'm sure you'll be a great help to the community.

Watch out for a post over the next few weeks about how to put your name forward, but in the meantime feel free to PM me if you need any further assistance or PM any of the AoA's (or Pandar, the dev overseeing the AoA programme) who will be glad to answer any further questions you might have.

Good Luck with it all....

Hello I was wondering if I could join AoA. I love to help other PL gamers weither it is answering questions or help them achieve the next level. I have been spending most of my days playing with fresh gamers and making their day. I think it is really cool to have a "group" of gamers to help people with the game and most importantly make their day better.

Thank you for reading this please msg me back if you would like to know more about me or even to have me help around

You have to be popular to be part of it...it's like your varsity team or cheerleaders in-game...XD

You have to be popular to be part of it...it's like your varsity team or cheerleaders in-game...XD Completely incorrect. Anyone can be an AoA, the only reason the more well known members of the community are a part of it is because they are all known to be huge helps when it comes to the community.

@Cool, right now we have a good system going between us with referrals from current members so it isn't really an application process we are going by, at least not yet. We are working the application process but it is turning out to be a bit more complicated that we had first anticipated, however this does not exclude you from the program. If you say you love to help people then do that and one of the AoA's will be sure to notice the difference you make and will refer you to the rest of us and we will see what goes on from there. Best of luck to ya mate :)
