Public Action Feedback


Hello All,

So this post will consist of a bit of feedback regarding the public action operations. I've played a good 3 or 4 now and I believe the intent behind it is really good, but could be executed in different ways to maximise effectiveness of the outcome.

So firstly, I play a lot of the public missions outside of the public action operations and this applies to a lot of the guys in 3CB. From having discussions with people, the biggest issue I have from a commanding position is that people are prone to log off within an hour or so, when the operation should really last for 3 hours. The main reason for this is because many people know what to expect from the mission already. Simply, it's predictable. That may mean knowing where the objectives are or just knowing how deadly the enemy forces can be. Thus, this results in people getting a little bored quite quick and people may start to log off early which causes issues for command.

What I suggest is a monthly custom made mission for the public action. Something that even 3CB members have never seen before. This will result in a more enjoyable experience and primarily, public players will be closer than before to understanding how 3CB operates whilst not actually being in 3CB, which from what I understand, is the main objective of these operations.Obviously, I understand mission makers are already quite busy, so I'd be happy to make a mission with the approval of who ever needs to approve it. 

What do you guys think? 

Regards,

Shaun.

PM DangerousDiz if you are interested in non-Zeus mission making.

We can always use more people in the Mission Making team.

The last two public actions (including this one) had some issues, since a lot of people from the recruitment/media/liasion team could not attend. That is obviously creating some issues when it comes to the general organiziation. However those were some extraordinary situations where the people mentioned had some private stuff on their table.

Beside that we (as the recruitment/liasion/media team) would again like to clarify that the "Public Action" is meant to be a firestarter l for a eveneing on the public server. It is essentially a advertised and organized sesseion on the public server. Nothing more and nothing less. As alreay linked we are doing something  different with the "Public Operations" which we are planning to run once per month.

Obviously you were not listening in the town hall meeting. These actions are just Public server game play, not operations. Next time please listen more carefully before criticizing the team that works so hard to make fun missions.

Vec - I see no criticism of the organisers or the unit there.. and to be honest I'm as confused as hell between the differences of public ops too and I was definitely there at the meeting. A little tolerance on posts please chaps :-)

Yep, I think we need to find better names for these which are not so similar to each each other. :)
