Today I am writing about a topic that has come up time and time again on the forums and in world chat. Why don't Valiant Knights get unlimited speakers? These guys are extremely helpful members of the community and currently are fairly limited to wall posts, private messaging and the forums if they want to be able to assist people throughout the day. Let me break down the ways a Valiant Knight can help out:- Forums: Unlimited posting and they can post fancy threads with an aim to inform, however these can take a long time to prepare and in a couple of days they can be lost in the large multitude of other threads. Wall Posts: These are in game, quick and unlimited but can only reach a small audience at once (people viewing said person's wall.) PMs: Fairly similar to wall posts however these are private, which means the help is limited to that one person directly. World Chat: The best way to mass inform players on a question they may have in world chat. It is quick simple to use and is by far the most widespread way of passing on information to players quickly. It is fairly restrictive on how much you may post however unless you are a Moderator. As you can see for general day to day use world chat is by far the quickest and easiest option to mass inform players yet the Valiant Knights, a very exclusive set of players is stuck to the same limitations of a normal player yet has extra expectations from the general community. Look at how much world chat fluctuates in number of posts that aren't ads when a moderator or Valiant Knight posts. There is a reason for this and it's quite simple. These people are faces of the community. It's a fact and yet only one can assist and be involved as much as they would like. How does this make sense in anyway? Valiant Knights may not be Moderators but they are still a great asset for the admin team to use. My end point is that Valiant Knights should have unlimited speakers or at the very least a larger regeneration limit to enable them to assist more and increase their presence within the community. This would increase the amount of chatting and assistance in world chat and it has been shown that the players that chat and are helped out are far more likely to be retained than those who don't get this. Yes the developers have said no to this is the past but this is a great opportunity to further develop the community and it is the community that makes this game so great.
Your post makes total sense. I would like VK to be as active on both the forums and world chat as possible
Makes sense very clear they also reach out the community helping out others make them soread their name across wc
This bloke here has posted on my wall to hit him as a contract. Calling all contract hitters to hit this DAFT meatshield.
I support your idea. Players who have been granted a title for being helpfull and worthy players should be able to post on the world chat without having to worry their speakers will run out soon. I doubt a VK would abuse those powers.
No support then. Mods have used speakers for their benefit not for community benefit. Only few times mods help, same will go for Vk. Better to not have unlimited spkrs
No support on the basis there is already too much talk and adds on wc. We need to look into Why they are needing to ask questions ?? This is what needs to be rectified, the fact that there is a valiant knight shows just how little info or support is available from the Devs. Let's get a official updated guide for new people I wonder how many potential players have walked away from kaw, due to not being able to find such info ? Even after playing for some time I still occasionally need to ask my more experienced friends questions, so what of those who do not yet have his luxury? There needs to be more support and guidance for new players, and not try to push this onto other players.
I believe there are plenty of great guides on the forums explaining everything a (new) player needs to know. Unlimited speakers would help directing those players to those guides.
