Changelog for September 2020

Some Changelog Info!

To better protect our admin team and members alike, I (Fade) have decided to implement a Changelog to better record our corrections and discussions so admins may link directly to this to show members that things have been fixed and discussed! 

The Changelog will update every Friday as that is when Fade is most available to make changes and answer group notes. That is also the day that we check the Suggestion Box on the website!

How Can I Make a Suggestion/ Update Request?

There are currently Three Ways to make a suggestion for group betterment or to show a correction that needs to be made. They are listed in order of EFFICIENCY. The fastest way to contact the team is listed first.

  • NOTE THE GROUP – The Group is not leaving DeviantART at this time and this is the best way for us to keep tabs on member suggestions and edits. If you post a Question in the Discord Chat you may be asked to send that question in to the group so it may be reviewed. It’s conclusion will be posted here and you will be tagged with a link to the changelog at that time.
  • LEAVE A WEBSITE SUGGESTION – The Website Suggestion Box is anonymous to members and will be kept that way. You will not receive a tag telling you that the suggestion/ change has been made. 
  • LEAVE A DISCORD QUESTION OR SUGGESTION – You may ask a group related question in the #Questions channel on Discord, or leave a suggestion in the #Suggestion-Box channel. PLEASE NOTE: We have a “Don’t Block The Box” policy in the Discord Chat and most times, the suggestions will be left with no answer. Discussion is discouraged in that channel; please move discussion to the General Chat areas. Suggestions made on Discord are not anonymous and you will be tagged with a link to the changelog when they have been resolved.

September 2020 Changes

Friday September 4th

  • Changelog records started.
    • Edit permissions given to Renaakaii and Baylili00. Posts by these admins will be signed with MF:R and MF:B respectively.

Friday September 11th

  • Suggestion to update the stat confirmation form to include prizes when clicking on the ranks. At this time, the admin team will not be implementing this. However, there is potential for it to be implemented when there is the time and resources. — MF:B
    • “I might have a suggestion for making stat reward claims easier; when selecting a rank up, place down the reward options in selection formats EX: 🗹 Elite 🗹 1 Breeding 2 Standard Raspberry Extract 2 Mutante Calvaria 2 Intelligence/Strength Potion 🗹 1 Cleansing 🗹 200 Denarii Aether’s Gift: Spatium Braccus Aether’s Gift: Atherium Mutation Hannibal’s Gift: Internum An alternative would be a similar format but instead of tick boxes we just need to write down the items/gifts, a sort of mix of what we have now and the above. This could streamline stat claims for those claiming multiple levels and would make it easier to claim a large amount of gifts”~Nekoura#4403 (discord) | X

Friday September 18th

  • Updated Aether’s Wish on Aether’s page to include all of the things it may and may not do. Users should use this page for reference rather than the journal. — MF:B
    • https://sta.sh/01bi3ek1yubg I’d suggest this journal is updated to fix the line where it says it can ‘Grant deceased or retired mutations to a Ballator.’ While I know that it’s an error, it’s still causing some confusion in the community c: I’d hate someone to grind their ballator through Regale’s quest only to find out you can’t actually use Aether’s Wish to grant retired mutations”~MostlyFaraday#6850 (discord) | X
  • Decision to not make hunts based off of stat requirements. The team felt this would limit what style a user could do for hunts and feel that is unfair. However, the team is reviewing hunt requirements to better reflect the wording that is on the Stat System. — MF:B
    • “I would also like to suggest that the hunt requirements are updated to reflect Regale’s quest, so art pieces have a stat requirement instead of being fullbody/1000 words” ~MostlyFaraday#6850 (discord) | X
    • If we were to implement this, it would be minimum of 7 stats — A fullbody with a simple background and one other fullbody character. Many users like to do chibi hunts and this would greatly limit their ability to do so.
