#but this thread was on the dev tracker...

[sangfielle]

i love to join a site and then just get irritated by half of the userbase that i see

[saltminerising]

I haven't seen a single person complaining about the new NPC just because they're fat & black. I've literally only seen people pointing out how uncomfortable/anatomically off the pose looks. Who are we getting mad at

[gatorcake]

WTF was even bugged with paisley? bffr about it. I know what they changed but what was bugged because it seems to me they released the gene fully finished one way, with intention (the shine on the darker layer was clearly intended to tie into fern) and then altered it with no warning outside the bug forum. Which you wouldn't fucking be looking at because the gene didn't look broken.

They completely redrew fern as well and replaced the scale-contouring highlight with a squiggle.

[enteragoodnamehere]

so are the fr devs just. not gonna respond.

BACK BY REQUEST : MY PERSONAL SERVER TEMPLATE.

below is a guide for the channels, as well as tips and tricks for using this template and a few recommendations for bots. ( link & image heavy )

NOTE: this is an outdated template, and is not the server i currently use - if you would like to see an updated version of this ( my roleplay group or 1x1 roleplay servers, or others ), please let me know!!

GET THE SERVER | FREE ( tips appreciated !! )

BOT SUGGESTIONS.

tupperbox ( for proxying your muses for discord roleplay )

writerbot ( for writing sprints, goals & prompts )

reminder ( for reminders / birthday updates )

threadtracker ( for tracking threads on discord )

TIPS.

messletters ( for fancy text )

this entire tag by @dayslily ( for discord tips & tricks )

turn on community for the forum features ( linked to tutorial )

WELCOME CENTER.

ooc : updates / generally in large community servers you can subscribe to get updates sent to you personal server, this is a good place to send them. alternatively, you can utilize webhooks to send your tumblr notifications to your discord server in this channel. ( see tutorial here ).

ooc : emails / i use this channel to keep track of my logins for various tumblr blogs and other websites.

ooc : reminders / using a bot, i set this channel to have reminders for various things, such as personal reminders, roleplay to do list and even character & partner birthdays

ooc : todolist / you could use a bot, or just manually update this channel with your current todolist.

ooc : drafts / i will occasional leave drafts to replies here so i can come back for them at a later point

BOTS.

bot : writing / my preferred bot for this is writer bot - linked above, i use this channel to set/check my goals, set up writing sprints, and occasionally get prompts for writing.

bot : tupperbox / i like to set up all my tuppers in privacy, so i find having my own sever with a channel makes it easy to change my avatar and other tupper information quick and also to test them without spamming a group tupper channel. ( tupperbox - linked above )

bot : reminders / i will often set up a channel for reminders because i'm super forgetful and having a reminder bot helps me get to tasks in a timely manner ( when i remember to set up the bot!! lol ) ( reminder bot - linked above )

bot : tracker / i'm not sure if this tracker has the function to work cross server yet, you'd have to check with the makers on their github, but this is great for 1x1 and group servers. ( thread tracker - linked above )

DEVELOPMENT.

dev : names / a channel to store ideas for muse names, etomology, etc

dev : prompts / a channel to store ask memes, character & writing prompts, etc

dev : inspiration / a channel to store character/muse inspiration, photos, videos, posts, even just a list of words/aesthetics, etc

dev : brainstorm / a place to spitball ideas for new muses and/or plots, i like to utilize the voice message feature here and just talk out my ideas so i can listen back to them later when incorporating them into a new muse.

dev : headcanons / a channel to store headcanons ( if utilizing the community feature, you could make this a forum and separate the headcanons into posts for each muse : see image below for example ).

dev : faces / a channel to store resources for you muse face claims, i would store social media posts, photoshoots, gif set links, etc ( if utilizing the community feature, you could make this a forum and separate the faces into posts for each face claim : see image below for example ).

ROLEPLAY.

rp : masterlist / a channel to host your own character masterlist, you can format this however you like, or even use forums - you could link to other channels in the muse category.

rp : plots / a channel to post links and ideas for plots wanted for muses and roleplay groups.

rp : wishlist / a channel to post roleplay wishlist items, links, ideas, etc

rp : promotions / a channel to post links for roleplay promotions either to your own groups or groups that you'd like to keep an eye on.

rp : groups / i use this channel to store the links to my current roleplay groups, links to the main blog, any relevant sideblogs, as well as a list of muses i currently have active within them.

rp : partners / helpful for storing a list of mains (for indies), with names, pronouns, links to rules, muses, etc - or for 1x1 lists of partners.

RESOURCES.

all of these are pretty self explanatory, you can store resources you use for tumblr and other types of roleplay in these channels, gifs, icons, templates, themes, etc.

ACTIVE MUSES.

muse : name / you can basically store your muse information, biographies, links to blogs, musings, edits, and whatever else you like. ( if utilizing the community feature, you could make this a forum and separate items into posts : see image below for example )

CONNECTIONS.

Working on the win state of the Mensis boss fight for today's Bloodborne Kart dev thread!

I disabled the distance tracker and respawns for Micolash, stopped the pre-recorded drive data (as it was still scooting his pawn down the track on death), added the 'Prey Slaughtered' title and also granted some echoes at the end.

[888-fr]

Tbh my biggest problem with the uproar is how sone people are pissed or freaking out when, I’m pretty damn sure staff is gonna try their best to get something set up that can serve the same function as some of the more complicated pinglists. Because GASP and specific dragon collectors drive a ton of gem sales.

Which, the first thing they have to change about their system for that is making it so people can choose to make their pinglists usable by other people. Other than that it gets a bit complicated and is probably best to discuss with people who run the current off site lists.

Well, that's my point. It's within people's rights to freak out or be pissed because staff didn't say till much later that they're hearing the concerns, and will be looking for ways to integrate user tool functionality into FR. By that time the damage had already been done, especially since the actual news post itself was never edited to reflect this. (Remember, replies to suggestions posts don't show up in dev tracker! Not sure why that is, but people could have missed the whole discussion going on in the Dominance Leader Suggestions thread.)

I don't blame people for being wary of how staff will try to implement the same functionality into site. They've given off the impression that they never quite understood how and why people use off site tools, and afaik they've never directly worked with specific users to discuss site feature implementations either. (I'm thinking about how Aequorin replied to the GASP thread in 2016 to say 'hey guys! you don't need to use GASP anymore, we've brought back forum thread subscriptions!' It showed a clear lack of understanding of what GASP was meant to do in the first place.)

It's very possible whatever compromise we end up with is not going to meet people's needs at all, but it's going to be ages before they implement it/retire mass pings in the first place. All we can do is hope they're taking steps in the right direction. I don't blame people for worrying about it in the meantime.

Opening Day: May 10th

One more week before we officially open!

I'm most excited to be able to pick up the canons I want to play and see what others will do with the same canons! I think the variety will be really cool. I have a couple of OCs in my back pocket which I plan to pull out too!

What about you? What are you looking forward to the most?

We're now on Discord! Come say hello!

With no character applications, joining will be super simple. On May 10th, here's what you'll need to do:

• Register your nickname on the forum, this will be the only account you need. • Once registered, click on UCP (User Control Panel) and fill out the user profile fields. • Join the discord server and bask in the welcomes • Post up in #introductions! Staff will create a development board for you.

That’s it! You’re in! *kazoo noises*

Use your dev board to create character apps, moodboards, playlists (if you so wish), set up your own timelines or thread trackers. Lay it out however you want. You do you!

If you want to be tagged on opening day, leave a like/comment/emoji

WIP - WAVES

Almost done!! Profile in normal and mobile view, with automatic participated threads tracker and character details (entire second tab) that get pulled from a dev thread. Pop-up multi-char automatic thread tracker. Sortable and filterable isotope member list. Aka I haven’t slept much this past week, lol.

DARKEST HOUR - UPCOMING MULTI-SALE

Slowly making a little bit more progress on revamping this skin. I’ve been going back and forth with what I wanted to do with the Main Profile for a few weeks now and this is what I eventually settled on.

The OOC main profile will have all of a user’s sub-accounts listed and provide links to those profiles.

The IC main profile is a Profile App with basics, freeform, and relationships tabs. There is also a built-in tracker that is separated into threads, comms, and dev. If a user doesn’t have any comms or dev threads, that tab will be hidden [not shown in video]. Like the rest of the skin, it is responsive to be mobile friendly.

I was wondering what everyone was talking about when they say that people were making a fuss over the mannequins until I checked the dev tracker and looked through a thread the devs posted on. Wow.

I agree that the previous look for the mannequins were too bright and I'm glad they fixed that - even though I wish they kept the neutral colors, but some comments were gross themselves. "Why would you do this?!" and "Gross" were totally unnecessary to say.

Old vs new (before fix)

discord adding a "forums" feature is fucking maddening

because mod makers, indie devs, and other tech communities needed yet another excuse to "just use discord" as a replacement for forums, wikis, and other open-ended community sites

friendly reminder: nobody wants to join your discord server because they want to, they join it because they have to

it's bad because you literally remove the ability to search for solutions to problems or discussions in general by hiding your community behind a private discord that requires a link to view. instead of people getting their questions answered immediately in a public discussion thread that already discusses the problem, people have to either hunt down your discord server link or ask where to find it and pray someone answers

search engines can't index discord servers, you swines

nobody wants to have to scour through 2 dozen channels to find the solution to their problem in an outdated pinned comment made 7 months ago while you ping @everyone to do a shitty anime watch-along and get mad at people for asking questions you already answered a billion times

if you want a chatroom, that's fine, but do not use discord to host your entire fucking community

discord is not a replacement for a download page discord is not a replacement for a wiki discord is not a replacement for a forum discord is not a replacement for a FAQ page discord is not a replacement for a bug tracker discord is not a replacement for a github discord is not a replacement for a subreddit discord is not anything but a chatroom, please fucking act like it and host your community resources elsewhere

thank you

Muses originally from several old blogs in the PokeRPC: Forgxtemall, Forgxtmxnot, Heartbxnd, Bxrryjxn, Dreiiikxn, etc. Some of these muses date as back as 2017!

So remember that stuff about how we were going to be able to switch combat styles? Sorry. Not for existing toons. Only brand new ones. Although if you're a subscriber you can pick a second advanced class set of abilities. I suppose you could play with that only but it does mean you have to sub to do it, and it also means you will never be able to lose your existing first combat style even if you'd hoped to do so. Damn it. The one thing that actually seemed universally positive about 7.0 - before the abilities were pruned - was the possibility of switching combat styles for characters. Say it with me: this deal is getting worse all the time.

There's been an update to this. We originally planned to allow players to switch their primary combat style with existing characters upon loading up 7.0, unfortunately we discovered some technical hurdles that will prevent us from supporting that. So upon login, existing characters will maintain their existing Advanced Class, which will be converted into their first Combat Style. And eligible players will still be free to choose their second Combat Style.

The original article has been updated to reflect this.
