Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from

in october should be introduced for sure.

But there is some light in the tunnel for users looking for more challenges - if everything will go well and we will end most crucial changes here, there is a chance to develop second server with a bit different rules. Like "sokker daily" - with one game played every single day & new database.

It could be counterproductive for this server, unless it's a different type of game with another name, but that way the users would be divided and it would be overwhelming for those who had team on the two servers. In the end they would play only in one or in none.

i dont like to see my junior this week excellent one more week later adequate. dont like it dropping system. Old system was much better than now. Any idea for return to old system?

already prepared - new club page will look that way: https://xd.adobe.com/view/7cb4195d-54e8-49fe-b5d1-f77fafc2ca2d-29e7/

I like but I miss a link to send messages (I guess it will be when you visit another manager) and pacts.
And the guestbook, diary, and manager pacts disappear?

Look at DD23: Club Facilities – Youth’s Academy

forum_topic/ID_forum/63355/ID_topic/3438694/pg/2

well, maybe, its just an draft idea for now - but our learning from test server is - that the speed of game is changing really a lot - so my prediction is, that for old sokker users and older potential players - current SK is perfect, its not so time consuming - but for many potential users its a bit to boring (you need years to see real progress of your team).

So event if mechanics will be similar, then game speed will rather devide users in two groups depending of their lifestyle - and maybe some of most ortodox fans will try to keep two teams (but it will be rather a minority).

Anyway - its just a concept, first lets make current Sokker great again:)

yes, we need to add that options - mail for sure, rest of elements (guest book and pacts)- our first idea was to move it to "community" subpage, but we will try to find a place for it too.
managers diary - it will be displayed in pressroom widget.

Ok mate,i hope you guys to find a solution about this difficult matter,
meaby to merge some countries will be worst than better...anyway!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Raul i make a post but someone delete it!!!
It was about unrealistic Turkish names in Cyprus.
Cyprus was never with any such name,Cyprus names are Greek names there is no Turks
and never been in the National team.

Can you plz fix this?

If someone want to delete this post,plz notice me first
and explain the reasons ofc.

well, we even yesterday discussed problem of names/surnames in SK, its not only Cyprus problem - in most countries there are proposals that never should be added, and there is no rank of probability - we should develop something like that, to keep an option that some unusual names will apear sometimes, but most will be close to reality.
Its on the list, but with low priority for now.

With the new rules sokker will be faster and I think it will work for those who are bored, anyway if you make another server apart I suppose it will be more difficult to improve both, unless it's the same game with the same name, viewers...same code but only different rules, and I don't know if it would be good for the current sokker. It's true that it's difficult for new users to start here, but I think that the new rules will make everything more equal and better. If you make another sokker soon, the current sokker will not grow because new users will prefer to start in a new server from scratch due to the difference between new and old users.
It's complicated, but I think that little by little everything can improve on the current server with the changes you are doing.

We'll see.

Any news about the new training & youth system ?
Is there anything certain about when it will be live ?

thats why current sokker is a priority, other "products" based on sokker are for now just a song of the future - but if we will perform well with our sokker relaunch - maybe there will be a space to think about it :)

2 pages before:

Hi guys, sorry for missing this forum last weeks - but lot of work is going on, so we were quite busy.
Anyway - few new options finally introduced, new schedule, training reports, in few days we will introduce also new homepage, login page and registration.

There are still some bugs to be fixed, we will move forward with it task by task - all listed before is noticed (like wrong descriptions of game type, or TV studio link).
After that we will also focus on some old bugs, like NT minutes counting in training reports.

Few important topics that I've noticed in last pages:

1. Problem with server and and delays in games:

Yes, we are working on it. To be honest, everything is ready to move for new servers (even our testing database is already there and its working) - but we decided that its to much risk to do it in the middle of season. We decided that perfect timing to move there will be first "free" sunday after season (next one after play-offs).
Tchat step is really complicated for us - its not only about servers, but will be combined with introducing of large code upgrade - code part responsible for morning game updates. Nothing will change in current gameplay, but we need to introduce that path before any serious changes will be implemented in game mechanics.

2. Training reform

We are sorry to say it, but despite of our work is already started with that idea, we cant introduce it from next season. Its directly connected with point above - first we need to introduce new code path dedicated for morning updates, and we finally decided that its to risky to do it now, we will wait for seasonal break. After that we will need another few weeks to introduced prepared training changes - it means, that our reform is moving one season later. I will describe it more detailed in next dev diary.

3. Marging small countries is also an topic here

We know about it, but please give us about 2 seasons in current shape - if we will be not able to increase number of players in small countries, we will prepare an solution (probably one "country" named like "rest of the world" and there will be a chance to play there if some nationality is to small for own leagues. If with time number of users of that nationality will increase, we will seperate it as normal country then. But before it - we will start promotion and advertisment pretty soon (we just waiting for new welcome page introduced) - so hopefully it will solve that problem for at least some of current small countries.


Sorry once again for being quiet, hopefully we will have more time for communication next months.

Great:)

But As I always say, one match per day is crazy, but I guess it takes all sorts xD.

Thank for your efforts Raul! I am excited to see on the new teams page which player is my team star! :)

Btw, please give also some information for developers of external sites, which add value on our experience of playing sokker.
These developers are Ramonymus and Terrion (devs of sokker-manager.net and of Asistente) and information about potential changes e.g. on XML are very important to keep their tools alive. All users of those 2 external sokker-tools will appreciate it. :)
