State of the Goonion - Hello there! - ZeWaka - 03-25-2019
Hey folks, guess what? It's time for another thread on current affairs over on Goonstation! Today, I'll be addressing some recent events and some plans we have going forward for the future.
New Player Wave
If you haven't noticed, we no longer have just 2 servers! In fact, we now have 4 and sometimes 5. This is primarily to help manage the increased numbers of players we've been getting, so maps aren't super cramped. So, servers 3+ are generally locked to Cog2 because of some backend fiddling we need to still do. But, thank you Wire for doing so much already. Also, we have 5 brand-new babby admins: Gerhazo, HydroFloric, kyle2143, Flaborized, and JohnWarcrimes! Hopefully (if we feed them enough) they'll help with the tide.
New Player Wave pt. 2: o shit let's add stuff
In alignment with the increased player count, MBC and I have been working on lots of optimizations so we can better handle the amount of players without having to resort to drastic measures. Also, the Goonstation team sourced job pocket guides from our lovely community and put it in the pockets of select jobs! Now, you have so much knowledge, right handy-dandy in your pocket.
Recent Combat Balance Changes
Recently, MBC has been doing a lot of changes to combat. One major noticeable changes is the implementation of the Status Effect Disoriented, which is sort of a precursor to being stunned and unable to do anything. Alongside this, we've also made Status Effects end properly, so they stop applying as soon as it hits 0. This has the fun effect of making the rest button instantly apply, so maximum funtimes can be had.
New Stuff We're Working on (no promises ok):
- A very inclusive and awesome new gamemode, fit for a king.
- More optimizations!!!
- Economy Balance
- Map Updates
- Adventure Zone / Lore Funtimes?
Got any questions or things of that nature? Ask away below!

why do this when you can just merge all the half-broken unfinished shit and deploy it to prod?

The worst thing that wasn't mentioned is that we don't have enough room for the newmin offices. Centcom is at capacity.
RE: State of the Goonion - Hello there! - warcrimes - 03-25-2019
Newmins dont get offices nerd. We live on the street, with the greyshirts.
RE: State of the Goonion - Hello there! - NateTheSquid - 03-25-2019
arent there a few empty offices? also just evict the nerdy admins, like zewaka
RE: State of the Goonion - Hello there! - Wisecrack34 - 03-25-2019
Force Newmins to share a desk

Exciting times! My available time has gone down a lot lately, so suddenly seeing all the new servers was confusing, but there seem to be a lot of great people on Goon for the first time!
Re-Admin offices - I respectively suggest a basement be added to centcomm, accessible via ladder in a shitty out of the way location, where either the newmins or nerdmins be relegated.
RE: State of the Goonion - Hello there! - ZeWaka - 03-26-2019
i have forced 3 admins to share one room and 2 admins to share another
