New Mentor requirements

[SturmChurro]

I skimmed through the past few pages. Like I said in my post before, a high level mentor would be useless. Novice Network is definitely not the place to be asking about savage raiding, or high tier PvE advice. For one, it would require too much chat, and would also probably require hands on experience, or visual guides (videos). This tier of difficulty is even difficult to guide players in PUGS, and still would require voice (discord) most optimally, and what I listed before. Purely In-game means of teaching is inefficient.

Just keep in mind that they already exist and have proven useful. Not every mentor would be able to fill the role, but useless is exaggeration without a doubt.

As for this, using NN as a party chat for savage practice groups is a terrible idea, but the mentor system doesn't prevent you from using discord or any other resources. Not every savage related question is going to require a written guide as an answer anyway.

I think Hyomin has the right of it...

The system can only check for things that the game is already tracking.



It has to go based on the achievements, and after 300 commendations, the next one is 500 which was probably deemed too little.

The next one after that is 1500.

Sooo... why not add a 750 or 1000 comm achievement? Seems like it should be an easy enough solution.

To the topic in general, this is a pretty significant change for... reasons that I'm struggling to grasp. I myself comm for funny names about as often as I do for skill (usually if there just wasn't much else that stood out in the group to commend), and I've had more than a few runs that were so frustrating or painful to get through that I noped out at the end with zero comms given. I know for a fact I'm not the only one. I've also been in a fair number of runs like the one where I was healing and ressing my butt off, literally helped save the group from a wipe, all while my co-healer was effectively sitting around (yes, cast another stone as half the group dies, very good friend)... and got zero comms.

Comms just aren't a good measure of helpfulness... more a measure of time invested and luck (and maybe style :P) than anything.
