It's a Karry!

A new test

The forms on our website have started misbehaving. We are aware of several issues of forms not correctly reporting they were sent. The forms are actually submitted once told to do so, but the user does not always get a confirmation that they were. We're working on a fix ^^

Hello everyone!

Today, we wanted to share a little something we came up with to thank the artists that have contributed to the community so far, as well as something to reward future contributors with!

The Contributor badge!

This badge has been awarded to our past contributors, @Ipos, @Wolfie and @Atila, and will be given to future contributors to the community, who devote their time creating either official OC artwork for use on the website, TS, and our other platforms, or artwork for OC supporters!

Want to help out the community and receive this badge? We are looking for artists to create artwork for future supporters in the new supporter set! Message @Lelling on the forums for details if you'd like to help out ^^

DV's April Newsletter [Sent out between 9-14.4.2018]

Hey everyone!

April is here and the Super Adventure Box has taken over all of our lives! But, don't forget that afterwards comes one of the biggest celebrations of the year - the OC Birthday!

-> May 1st, OpenCommunity birthday!

We'll be celebrating 3 years of OpenCommunity from May 1st to May 6th so be sure to keep an eye on the calendar in the upcoming days!

Have a good rest of the month and have fun with SAB!

Welcome to the community ^^

We do schedule full clear runs on our open raids, but a spot for those is not guaranteed every time, so I would suggest looking into joining a static group, which is something we also do at OC  We currently have one that is being built, so you could try to join it. Contact someone from the raid team on our Raider Discord, or our Raid Team Manager @Viridian on the forums; she'll be able to give you the best advice

Or I don't know, would it work to have a daily events calendar, and one with the weekly/one-off ones?

We used to have a calendar for regular events and one for one-off events, however, it proved that having calendars by content accessibility rather than recurrence frequency worked better for most people.

Btw how does the subscription you first talked of work? I only found an RSS feed, but TT shows up there every day too.

Following the calendar works like following any forum, thread, or database - a notification is sent whenever new content (such as a new event) is posted. The notification can be set to either be a notification through the website, or through e-mail, in the notification settings.

This feature is most useful for one-time events, since technically each repeatable event is only created once - when it's added to the calendar. This means you would, for example, get a single notification if a new Triple Trouble was scheduled to happen every week on Tuesdays, the first time it would be scheduled. That way, you can immediately take note of events you're interested in, whether they are one-time or recurring, and ignore the rest.

Just now, kazerniel said:

Sorry I didn't clarify, I'm subsribed to the calendars via Google Calendar, so the TT events do fill up most of the Core Tyria one, like on the website version I guess I could temporarily subsribe, copy the other events to my own celandar and unsubscribe, the only downside is that I won't see newly created one-off events or if anything changes with the regular ones.

Oh yeah, when it comes to exporting the calendar, there unfortunately isn't much that can be done. Copying over the other events would indeed not be a suitable solution to the issue while maintaining functionality. The only solution I see would be to put Triple Trouble on its own calendar - but as we plan to have more regular every-day events, this is not a feasible solution either.

5 minutes ago, kazerniel said:

Is there any way to filter out Triple Trouble from the Core Tyria calendar? I don't do TT, which takes up most of that calendar, but would be interested in the other Core events.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to filter out one specific event, however, since a recurring event is only posted once, if you follow the Core Tyria calendar, this will mean you will only get announcements for Triple Trouble very rarely, in cases of it being rescheduled on the calendar. The bulk of the announcements will be for one-time Core Tyria events. You can set your notifications to arrive either as notifications on the website or via e-mail, and can simply ignore the TT ones ^^

I miss this era of games. Look at that beautiful UI.

DV's March Newsletter [Sent out between 3-9.3.2018]

Hello, DV members!

March is upon us, and with it, Daylight Saving Time. Here's what you need to know!

->Daylight Saving Time, March 25th
OpenCommunity changes community time from CET [UTC+1] to CEST [UTC+2]. All regular events will happen relatively 1 hour later for those changing to DST.

Example: 20:20 TT becomes 21:20 TT!

->PvP & activity
Playing a PvP match with a DV PvP Team now counts for DV activity!

We're certainly glad to have you back ^^ If you can send me a short message about it in-game via mail I can set your status to Away for a few months until you get your PC all nice & fixed so you don't have to worry about activity in the meantime 

Alternatively, you can also volunteer to assist with mailing, which only takes about 15-30 minutes per month and isn't very PC-intensive, and you can get activity that way, although the March mailing is already underway so the next opportunity will be in April

Will the shiny badges on... everywhere change when we switch sets? I can see it becoming rather crowded, on TS especially

One of the main causes for the crowding is that the first 3 sets basically came out within 6 months of each other, meaning we suddenly had a lot of tags. Now we're aiming for a cadence of about 12-24 months per set, so it should get crowded more slowly ^^

If we receive complaints about TS looking crowded, we might go with a maximum number of badges displayed per person (like our rule of maximum 3 community guilds displayed per person, which exists for this exact reason). This is something we have been looking into and could potentially even create a bot that is permanently available for members to poke to switch their badges, so members can switch between their displayed badges without needing to contact a Community Manager.

As a side note, new forum badges for charity causes will also be changing to the same system we use for Golden Cookies (old badges will remain as is), so that should take up less room on the forums .

Hey everyone!

This is not an update or a change of how things function, and we already once made a post about this when it was originally announced in 2016, but I wanted to post a little refresher with this information, which we're hoping to put on its own page soon ^^

What are Supporter Rewards?

Supporter Rewards are our way of thanking people who support the community by donating to keep our Teamspeak, website and game servers running, as well as those who donate towards sponsored charity causes.

These rewards range from supporter icons on our Teamspeak, badges on the forums and cosmetic groups on Discord and Minecraft, to custom artwork and even physical items. Some of the latter might be limited by number, as our artists are volunteers and can only commit to drawing a limited amount of artwork, and our physical item numbers can be limited. You can see the current supporter rewards on our donate page.

Earning progress towards Supporter Rewards

Supporter rewards appear in sets, each set consisting of several tiers of rewards. Only one set is active at a time, and once a set is changed, the old set will not be available again, meaning rewards earned during that time will be unique!

Let's take a look at the currently active Radiant Set:

• Any Amount - Supporter (also available in future set)
• 15€ - Shiny Supporter (also available in future set)
• 30€ - Lucent Supporter
• 70€ - Radiant Supporter
• 120€ - Ascendant Supporter

Your progress in any given set is saved and added up over time, which means donating small amounts over time can bring you to higher reward tiers. This includes any donations made to sponsored charity causes.

When a set changes, your progress in the old set is locked, and your progress in the new set begins from zero.

Additionally, the first two tiers - Supporter and Shiny Supporter - are included in the next set as well, so your progress up to and including those two tiers is transferred to the next set. The reason for this is so that even those who can only donate a very small amount can eventually get to a higher tier which gives more rewards.

How do I know when a set will change?

We have made a promise to announce the change of a set at least 1 month in advance, and we do not intend to change sets twice in the same year. As an example, the current set has been active since July 2016, meaning it's going on its 20th month at the time of writing.

We can already reveal you can expect a change of sets in the first half of 2018!

The announcement will be made on the forum, on the donate page, on our discord, and mentioned by commanders at our events.

Hi! Nice to meet you

We've got a couple musically-minded people in this community so I think you'll fit right in! Hope to see you around at some events

P.S.: Oh and you should totally head over to the What are you listening to right now thread and share some of your tastes!

Hello, and welcome to the community!

Don't worry about "basic knowledge" of the game, there's so much to learn and you have all the time to do it! Better to take it easy rather than rushing through to satisfy other people
