What is the definition of a prominent member specifically?

This is for a small number of individuals to have a frank conversation with the developers. I'm not saying crowdsourcing some questions from the community is a bad idea at all, but that's entirely at the discretion of the people attending. Honestly, that's a pretty good platform to run for "election" on, for sure. Sounds very much like a representative democracy model, yep. Having a selection of people representing different views across the community sounds like a decent plan.

I would throw my hat in the ring, but I am unsure my simmering rage could be suppressed for the full course of a conversation... particularly if there were "Pix support-esque" responses to certain concerns.
Matchmaking and hangar diversity need to be two of the main topics. All the new guns, new bots, new mechanics stuff is just flash... the core of the game needs to be solid for that stuff to matter.

I absolutely lack everything possible to ask important questions... NOT OFFEND THE CREATORS OF THIS GAME WE LOVE... Any sort of technical knowhow, bot and weapons specs, a proper pronunciation and vocabulary of the English/American language. Now if yall want a beer swillin, profanity usin, cousin humpin Redneck type for your voice, them I'm your man. I think it's a no Brainer Dredd should be involved

I would ask questions about the matchmaker code, for instance, how the priority for finding players in a match is set - Time? Rating? Damage? Hanger?. How far away from a player's rating will it go to find other players? Stuff like this is more interesting to me. I doubt they would divulge details like this though other than in vague terms.

You definitely won't get the Algorithm Oh most likely not. But I really would like a gander under the hood. I guess for many people some sort of broad explanation would be helpful in understanding why there are some strange matchups.

I guess for many people some sort of broad explanation would be helpful in understanding why there are some strange matchups. Besides people manipulating whatever stat it happens to be running on at the time (previously Hanger score now Damage/Rank) the biggest factor in wonkey matches is the priority to make a match in a timely fashion. No matter what variables it uses it will reach farther up and down the scale in both directions to fill a match within a given time restraint as a priority... time of day can really affect your experience.

I dont think that someone that is dissatisfied with the the game should keep them off the panel, quite the opposite. If you dont have a few that have problems, well, it presents that its all roses, and its more like Bandini!

Also, is the chat going to be on voice or is it going to be on text? Voice chat. Plenty of time to go buy a voice modulator so you can sound like Bane. Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, Pixonic? About what time will that take place?

I imagine a lot of swearing .....count me in
We should on the serious note make a thread with a list of questions to ask pixonic. Gives the people that go ammo And gives the people that can't go a voice.

The people they need to talk to really must include Android Silver/Gold tier. I'm leary that they'll only end up talking to top tier 12/12 players, maybe even iOS only, who do not actually experience the worst that the MM and leagues have to offer. Even with a 10/10 hangar people do not see the worst. I seriously hope it includes mid tier players (7/7 8/8).

Would cover concerns that represent the whole player base Just to be clear, are you standing for election? Because otherwise- while I completely agree with you- this is becoming a thread hijack. Not a hi-jack at all. Just want to try and make sure it is done in a beneficial manner. As you have read, I am not the only one proposing this idea. I also was not the first or last to bring it up. So no need to be pointing the finger at just one person, as that is how it could be received. In regards to how you present a put-up or shut-up situation, I don't think you really want me to discuss much of anything with them.

I'd like to be in the running, especially regarding how to properly score the league system. It's a problem that has already been solved by team versions of Elo and Pixonic would be wise to abandon trying to reinvent the wheel...

I only bring thumb-screws. No interpersonal skills or critical thinking. Heh. Any of the Administrators/Moderators/Trusted Contributors would be good choices. Also a few of the regular forum-ites seem to know what's up, as far as the technical side of things is concerned.

...as far as the technical side of things is concerned. As a nerd, I'm going to tell you what would happen if I were asking questions: - What are your plans for other play styles
- What does your back end technology look like
- What made you choose back end tech XXX vs YYY
- Will there be API's for us to get at more data
- How come you can't give us a server status page hosted in your data center so we can ping it to check latency...
- ... More techical garbage that 3/4'ths of you probably won't want to hear about
Don't let a nerd speak when a regular person will do the job better for regular peoples concerns!

Don't let a nerd speak when a regular person will do the job better for regular peoples concerns! I have no idea what any of that means, haha. You were one of the folks I had in mind though. In light of your incomprehensible language, you and someone a teensy bit less nerdy would be perfect.

Ah, yes, I also think zer00eyz would make a good candidate! Based on what I read of his posts on Reddit.

You know what happens if I say yes to something like this: something blows up at work that requires my attention... If Murphy's law is: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.My law is: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, at the worst possible time.Inb4 Dredd77 says "I am the law" Edit: Im not saying I wouldn't do it, but I would like to know that there is an alternate in the event of me having a personal disaster, and I just need a few days advanced notice of when it would be to plan accordingly (coverage at work and a small blood sacrifice to the server gods so it holds).

First off, thanks Wiki Forum and Dredd for the opportunity to have a forum voice included. I think it's a great opportunity for our community. While I do not want to be one to be speak to Pix, I do want to suggest to the candidates that: (1) We should keep our concerns focused on the biggest problems (MM and Tanking imo), and not try to lead the convo down too many rabbit holes. I would rather have a few key issues be focused on and addressed, rather than a whole laundry list of smaller issues, as (like in life and in War Robots) focused fire will kill the biggest threat. And (2) I would also base my vote on candidates that I am confident would put forum/game interests above their own selfish motives. I see some good candidates above, and have a few others in mind that I hope will put their name in the hat. Cheers. Totally agreed, there is only one big issue to speak about. Also shaolin's idea of different unranked game mode is interesting , so to me does not matter who is going to speak if these will be the main point
