<![CDATA[Feedback & Suggestions Latest Topics]]>https://play.adventdestiny.com/forum/61-feedback-suggestions/enAnything goes!https://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1456-anything-goes/While I'm in the process of the transfer, I would like to implement new features as well. If there's anything you would like to see here on AD, feel free to speak up.


Having thought about the direction I wish to bring AD, I have come to the decision that rather than just focus on RP, I would also like to make this site a hub for Gundam Seed, and to a lesser extent, the other Gundam series.


I'm not sure how many of you share this vision but I feel that AD is at a great position to be used as a platform for such a move. With AD 2.0, you would see the integration of the Gundam Blog and the Gundam Wiki into the AD site. This would allow for more efficient use of space as well as consolidate information, news and discussion.


Rather than have you guys surf to Wordpress to check the Gundam Blog and to Wikia to check the Gundam Wiki, you would be able to access all these information right from Advent Destiny. How does that sound? :)


The Gundam Wiki is too messy to be salvaged. I'm going to attempt starting from a clean slate on AD. As for the Gundam Blog, it's a hassle to post on both areas. The Official AD Blog will be the medium for Gundam news as well as AD news. My offer for those interested to take up positions as writers or guest writers for the blog still stands. :)


I'm still working on how to separate the Gundam Wiki from the Cosmic Compendium. Oh, did I mention that the CC will be integrated as well? ;) This would prove rather useful since information can flow between the two to help us flesh out the Gundam Wiki.


For those of you who are interested in writing fan-fiction, you would be able to create online novels, and even collaborate with other writers to work on the project.


Keep the ideas pouring in. :) There's nothing we can't do as long as we let our creativity flow.


I thought of a conversion for the Triple Triad game from FF8, only to realise that such a game has already been made.  :-\


Nevertheless, I'm sure we can still think of more things.



PS: Yes, this is my evil scheme to open up AD to a greater audience in hope of getting them interested/addicted to ADRPG. :P

Advent Destiny from spacehttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1450-advent-destiny-from-space/Have you ever looked at AD from afar?

 

I was taking snapshots of the site layout and I couldn't help but notice the length of our forums page.

Re: Feedback on embedded adshttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1443-re-feedback-on-embedded-ads/I have added ads in between posts. These would help to generate funds that we badly need to pay for the server. What do you think of them? Any comments is welcomed. Are they irritating or distracting? Could any improvements be made?

Layout of the RPhttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1402-layout-of-the-rp/Seasoned RPers would have come across RP sites where they might have RP in threads separated according to the storyline that they are pursuing. That style is more storyline oriented in the sense that it makes it easy for you to follow how things get played out.

 

However, it brings with it the disadvantage of making RP threads unbearably long, especially if it's an epic RP with several elite RPers posting mammoth posts. Imagine having to scroll through a hundred over pages of RP posts.

 

The way things are done here is the location style, where we group threads into the separate locations to differentiate the events taking place at different places. This helps to keep the posts short and localised in where they happen.

 

The downside of this is that posts would have to be divided across many boards and members would have to keep track of so many threads to check the updates. I noticed that some people have been discouraged from posting due to the immense number of forums they need to check through to be updated with the storyline.

 

Do you have any preference? Do you have any other suggestions on how to improve things?

More Headquartershttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1428-more-headquarters/I am a member of ZAFT.  We have our own thread, how come other factions do not?  There should be more child boards in the Faction section.  I think this would organize the site a bit.

Character Library Organizationhttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1176-character-library-organization/Hi I know I am new, but I wanted to first offer to follow up on my own suggestion and offer an idea.

 

I was looking at the Character Library and I was thinking (I don't know how to do websites but I can use yahoo tools or something like that) to built not a website but a character library page.  In which all the character information is in one place and then organize it via aphabetical order. 

 

That way when you are looking for a person, you click on their bio and then a webpage will come up with their bio information. 

 

That way the character library would look more profesional than the one that we have in the forum.  And once a character gets approved he is tranfered to the website. 

 

Then on navigation a link can be placed that says bio information.  We can then divide the bio information by either factions or by having everyone on the same page.  We had this on a Star Trek RP and it was useful and fun. 

 

I am more than willing to back what I am saying by doing it and then handin in all the administrator information to the bio person so they can update it. 

 

Just let me know if the idea sounds interesting, because I can explain in greater  detail...

 

BTW this is not saying that your site is bad or anything just a sugestion to see if someone might be interesting in that.  Let me know no pressure either way

Getting to know you! AD stylehttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1391-getting-to-know-you-ad-style/I'd like to propose an idea for the more social side of AD :3 Hopefully this might bring the community closer.

My idea is that every week, (going alphabetically, or backwards alphabetically) an AD member is picked to add to a "Getting To Know AD" thread, where there are a set number of questions (such as interests, hobbies etc) and they answer them (not all questions being compulsory).

As I said, this is for the more social aspect. (Now it'd be damn embarrassing if we already have something like this )

Of course, this can only work with the more active members here

Whaddya think ? Any suggestions, (such as specific questions) or gripes with this idea?

Battle systemhttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1229-battle-system/There were plans for a battle system that isn't unlike the DnD system. However, due to commitments in other areas, that has taken a back seat. I know that it would be a better gauge of battle outcomes if we go by stats and determine the outcome.

 

Do you think if we should implement such a system? If this were to be so, what are some features you would like to see? Please give detailed answers for your proposals.

Need People to fight to obtain MS license https://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1234-need-people-to-fight-to-obtain-ms-license/I need people to fight in the colliseum to get my MS license, before all the battle happened in the story line.

 

I promise I would not take a point blank shot dodge it, pull back and shoot with 3 rifles when my capacity is two. 

 

I am not as competitive as I need to get a license.

Advent Destiny Chathttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/904-advent-destiny-chat/I would like to know if you prefer the old chat or the new chat. This would only apply to members who tried the v0.1 chat.

 

The old chat was basically an IRC channel with a Java applet on the site to allow members without an IRC client to access the chat. That was not so feasible since a member would need to have a browser that is capable of running Java.

 

The new chat is a lighter load on both the server and your browsers. However, we are limited by the functionalities. It's a far cry from the old chat, where we had EightBall and the other bot functions available to us.

 

So I'll like to know which chat is preferred and I'll see what I can do about it.

Bank on ithttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1152-bank-on-it/Has the interest at the bank stopped accumulating all together until RPing begins once again?  I only ask because I noticed that I haven't been getting any money for any posts that I've made either so I figured that the two might be going hand in hand.

Re: Creators Expectations for char?https://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1100-re-creators-expectations-for-char/Perhaps another thing should be added for the Character template where the Creator writes down what they expect their Character to become in the future or express the desired Mobile Suit/Gundam they want.

 

This way, the story could be changed a bit to either allow the character to succeed or gain that suit. If not possible, then simply tell them instead of them realizing it throughout the middle of a story.

 

Like for my char Ryou, I wish for him to eventually gain the 'Destiny' Gundam in the future. But I know this is far ahead of me and it'll take a while before I become that good. But at least I know that I can expect it to happen one day instead of believing blindly that it'll happen and then suddenly get a door slammed on my face.

 

This can also work for rank and etc. It's just there to simply warn Valiant or the Faction they're joining of their char's initial plan. Rather than just simply tell the Faction leader later on and get denied.

 

Most would get angry if they were to get told that they wouldn't get the suit/plan and quit. This is just a precaution to tell them in the beginning phases instead of in the middle of a plot/story.

 

Just a thought..Any remarks?

Free RP Boardhttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1133-free-rp-board/I would like to suggest a board where one can roleplay free of restrictions (barring the obvious, of course), in any manner they wish. One can roleplay as currently-unapproved characters, dead characters, or what have you. One may pilot an MS of their own design, a standard MS, or no MS at all, if they wish it.

 

Wars, skirmishes, personal disputes, all can be waged here without consequence; nothing which goes on in the Free RP board matters Outside of the Free RP Board; it is merely a chance to roleplay freely, to get into the role if your character, to work with others to improve roleplaying skills.

 

Though technically "Without Restriction" god-modding is frowned upon, as is unnecessarily belligerent behavior and the like, just like in all forums. The Free RP board would simply be a place to have fun outside of the story.

 

I hope you like this idea.

Money Disappearing?https://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1125-money-disappearing/I don't know if this is official or just a bug..

 

But I keep losing 10 dollars over a period of time, I mean I just lost another 10 a few minutes ago.

 

Does this happen to anybody else or is this part of the forum?

 

Well I've realized that deleting topics gets rid of 10 dollars so I can understand that, but the rest is kinda vague to me still. I barely deleted topics so I don't know where else the money is disappear to.

 

Topics I've deleted: 2, so 20 bucks gone from that but...the rest I don't get O.o; where I'd lose the other 30?

Poetry/Fanfic Section?https://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1126-poetryfanfic-section/Well considering the ' Art Section ' is made for drawings/sigs/avatars that our group has made.

 

Why not a area for Gundam Fanfics or simple Poetry? Show off a more emotional side other then the graphics you can do.

 

Even a Child Forum would be better, but this is just my suggestion

 

Just a thought

New PA system questionhttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/1018-new-pa-system-question/I've got a question regarding the battles required by the new Pilot Academy system. Right now I only have one battle in the Coliseum (vs. Christoph), and I'm locked into the Destiny League battle Psycho Soldiers vs. ZOIDS, which doesn't seem to be starting. Given the Coliseum rule of permitting players to only be in one battle at a time, I can't really pick a fight with someone to get the second battle I need to be eligible for a MWPL.

 

Therefore, I'd like to know: do the requisite battles have to be AD Coliseum matches, or can use a battle from another site to fill in my missing battle?

[Cosmic Compendium] Factions and Nationshttps://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/876-cosmic-compendium-factions-and-nations/Please use this thread for specific suggestions and/or potential entries regarding the Factions and Nations in the compendium. 

 

------

 

Here's my rework for the entry of the [wiki]Republic of East Asia[/wiki].  It turned out a bit longer than I anticipated since I made the history a lot more comprehensive.  Obviously, a large part of it was stuff I just made up to put more depth in this nation.  (Considering that the series only focused on the two Federations)  I also used the Wiki's Cosmic Era timeline to help frame the history.  So, yeah, feedback most appreciated.

 

⚠️ This is a static archive of Advent Destiny. The forum is no longer active, but all content has been preserved for historical reference.

The Republic of East Asia is the third largest and powerful member of the Earth Alliance. It spans the territories of China, Mongolia, Japan and Korea.  This nation owns the Kaohsiung mass driver, which is vital for the Alliance’s economic and military might.

 

History

 

The formation of the Republic was in response to the near-simultaneous formations of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation back during the early Cosmic Era years.  Despite this unprecedented unification, the Republic fell behind in terms of technological and military power in comparison to the two Federations.  It continued to rely on its strength of sheer manpower that the nation could mobilize for both its military and industries. 

 

Despite several squabbles with the other nation-states, the Republic was able to complete its first major project, the Kaohsiung Mass Driver.  While Hong Kong and Shanghai still served as major terrestrial economic centers, the southern Taiwan spaceport bridged the Republic with outer space.  With this, the Republic’s strength and influence grew.  However, the completion of the Mass Driver caused further resentment between the Republic and the Atlantic Federation.  The Atlantic Federation, in cooperation with the United States of South America, accelerated construction of the Porta Panama mass driver.  Eurasian Federation pushed for tariffs and other trade restrictions against the Republic despite already possessing the Gibraltar spaceport. 

 

It wasn’t until the Tragedy of Copernicus in which these nations finally united through the formation of the Earth Alliance.  The Republic understood the need for cooperation and allowed full access to their mass driver and other facilities upon the formation of the Alliance’s military arm, OMNI Enforcer.  Utilizing their industrial strength, the Republic began full production of armaments and other goods for the entire Earth Alliance.  The government also sought a representative to take the role of Secretary-General in the Earth Alliance, even though they knew that the position was inherently inferior to the Grand Admiral.  Similar to the Eurasian Federation, the influence of Blue Cosmos was minor and the population in general did not house as much of the anti-Coordinator fervour that plagued the Atlantic Federation. This would have led to further friction, but the Republic concessions and contributions to the Alliance reduced potential resentment to a mere simmer. 

 

With the First Valentine War commencing, the Republic was hit by two harsh blows in one swift stroke.  ZAFT’s earthbound offensive, Operation Uroboros, initially crippled the Republic’s industries and military defenses through the deployment of N-Jammers.  The Republic was able to quickly recover since they still used a large number of hydroelectric dams and clean coal plants, but many sections of the Republic were still without power and they had difficulty containing the chaos in several major cities.  Despite that, they continued to fuel the OMNI war machine.  But with ZAFT’s successful conquest of the Kaohsiung spaceport months later, the Republic’s influence waned as they were sidelined until the war’s end.

 

During the Second Valentine War, the Republic reeled from the damage it took during the Junius Seven colony drop.  Many cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Seoul, were either flooded by tidal waves or completely wiped out by falling debris.  Surviving members of the government and military command relocated inland; the government relocated to Xi’an and the military to Chengdu in the Sichuan province. 

 

After the excessive razing of Berlin in the Eurasian Federation and the revelation of the existence of LOGOS, the Republic broke off from the Alliance.  They also backed their citizens’ furor and moved to apprehend and persecute LOGOS members and supporters, including those with close ties with a portion of the government.  The military quickly deployed several naval fleets to Gibraltar, where many former EA units gathered.  However, this sudden opportunity turned into disaster as nearly eighty percent of the Republic’s naval assets were completely wiped out during the EA/ZAFT alliance’s assault on Heaven’s Base.  Once again, the Republic was forced to sit on the sidelines until the end of the war.

 

With the signing of the PEACE Treaty, a new lease on life was given to the Republic of East Asia.  It underwent a massive reconstruction effort and managed to rebuild most of the cities damaged or lost during the colony drop, albeit not to their original state.  It was during this time in which the Republic started somewhat cordial relationships with neutral and ZAFT-aligned nations by offering mutual support during the reconstruction process. 

 

Even though the Earth Alliance was reunited, the member nations were still wary of their supposed allies.  Because of this as well as the results of the past two wars, the Republic began to take a more proactive stance in their involvement in the Alliance.  Significant effort was taken to rigorously build up and train their military defense forces in order to attain equal standing with the two Federations.  The Republic continued to gain more influence during this time of peace and with the current Secretary-General, Hyun-Jin Ho.

 

 

Administration

 

The Republic of East Asia operates under a parliamentary democracy.  The executive leader is the Premier and delegates to a score of Cabinet members.  The government also contains a parliament, with approximately equal representation among the nation blocs and a judiciary.  While the general public votes for both members of the parliament and the Premier, the Premier appoints Cabinet members after approval from the Parliament.  This same process is done for appointing members for the Earth Alliance Council and for Secretary-General candidates.  The Premier can only take emergency powers in times of war and must be ready to relinquish them.  The creators of the government went back to old Chinese cultural references by tying the government officials with that of the Mandate of Heaven.  During rare occasions, the citizenry could rise up and call for the resignation of the Premier or other ranking officials.  This provides the incentive for the politicians to maintain a strong rapport with the people.

 

 

Military

 

While a significant portion of the Republic’s existing military is integrated into OMNI Enforcer, they still maintain a number of naval fleets, armies, and other military units for their own domestic defenses.  Given the new, proactive stance that the Republic took after the reconstruction process, they also have two space fleets stationed at the Riccus Lunar Support Base.  They also have several Independent Mobile Battalions that answer only to the Premier and the Republic’s central military command.

I think...https://play.adventdestiny.com/topic/977-i-think/I think that it would be cool to have a chatbox on the forum page.  This way we wouldn't have to log into the chat, which I've rarely seen other people in, in order to bounce rp ideas and stuff around the site.
