Medals - What are they and how do they work? [UPDATE]

[JakeDuck]

I really like the new layout, it looks very clean and organized. Is there a way to change the color scheme though? I think that white is far too common on forums.

[LiamFTWinter]

Here's a quick little preview of the new forum theme:

:shock: um, is it look not zombieish blood gorish to you?

I just don't know..... :?

We're working on making it more zombies related, that's just the default template

[Undead]

I'm assuming this is the gist of it without all the CoDz logo and all added to it. It's alright, however i'm not really digging the white. Perhaps make that more gray at least. Other wise, it looks a lot cleaner. :)

[Nathan169]

oh, i was just almost freaking out. what a relief... sorry guys, i just thought it would look like that. :?

I love that new layout. Should make it much easier to navigate the site.

[Covert Gunman]

Yeah, it isn't finalized yet. Like Liam said, we're still working on it a bit to improve it. But generally, that's the basic gist of how it will look.

Its looking good

Hows the server side? Are you prepared for Black Ops 2 release :D

We're working on that as well. We've been looking into changing hosts and hopefully upgrading the server, so hopefully we'll learn more about that soon enough. :)

Glad to hear. You've been doing a lot of work lately, I wish I could be more of assistance as far as actual development goes, but everything seems to be coming along great so far. keep it up Convert! :)

How many medals can we expect?

[Undead]

I'd assume a few dozen, at least. Not to mention adding medals after they have already been implemented.

[Undead]

Not to sound pushy, but about how long do you suppose the new theme and medals will be introduced, give or take?

I don't really have a date set in stone, but I'm hoping to get both out as soon as possible. Once things get a bit closer, I'll be sure to let everyone know. It will require various forum updates and so most likely those will be done overnight so that most users won't be online when the forums go down for those updates.

Will doners keep the purple? Or is it only mods and dwellers that keep their fany pants colours?

[Undead]

I personally have no idea, but it makes the most sense to have the staff alone, keep their colors. Where as everything else, will be replaced by the medals displayed on your profile.

Which reminds me, given the change of theme and all, will the staff colors also change? Or will they remain the same?

I think it's going to be staff only (Dwellers and above). Donors will most likely get some sweet medal for donating instead of the colored name. I'm anxious to see it as well!

Can I please hear your reasoning behind this? It's a valid feeling, but change is inevitable in this day and age. I'll try to ease some of your concerns. Survivor and Veteran groups are not being removed but rather, being transformed into shiny, new medals for everyone to have that qualifies and chooses to apply for said medals.

Think of it like a way to show all of what you have done. Sure, I like my blue, but the medals mean I can show my other accomplishments to others at the same time. I'm sure there are people who are Veterans, Donors, and are in the Richtofen group all at the same time. Is it fair to them that they only get to show off one group? Just wait and see how you like it.

[Nathan169]

Having a new shiny medal sounds great than having colored name. It shows some more pride that you did accomplished it! :)

[Undead]

I like to think of them as CoDz "achievement unlocked" medals. ;)

[LiamFTWinter]

Who would like me to post a full list of the medals, with their exact requirements and designs some time today?

*raises hand*

OOH PICK ME PICK ME!
