Roadmap
🕑 Added 2021-09-14 20:55:21 +0000 UTCFor patrons who support us while supporter features are not fully rolled out, here is an overview of what features are coming and what to expect from them.
Discord Role - Planned for Tier 1 and above
This one is already out. You'll be listed above the usual Online list and you'll get a colour that stands out. We don't yet have a channel for patreons but this will likely be something that will be added once there are a few.
Rift Supporters Sign- Planned for Tier 1 and above
The Rift will also have a sign dedicated to listing all our patrons. This will display your in-game name, or, your in-game nickname if you have set one. The order listed is by Tier, then by Alphanumerical order.
Anti Spam- Planned for Tier 1 and above
One of the top voted suggestions right now is the relaxing of anti-spam for Crew. This will be released firstly for patrons and Staff and will later roll out to Crew. In particular, patrons will always have slightly reduced limits overall even after this rollout, so this will always be a benefit regardless of whether you already have Crew.
Nicknames - Planned for Tier 1 and above
As selfname was removed as part of a rework in the name system, it is now replaced by the nickname system. One of the standout features of the nickname system is that it considers other peoples registered names and gives out an identifier and colourisation. The identifier ensures that two people can have the same nickname without being indistinguishable. The colourisation ensures that a person using a nickname is very obviously using one, which will be important when considering whether they registered the name they are using. Right now the nickname system is being fixed and integrated into different parts of the system to ensure it works properly. It will roll out to high-level Staff first, and then it will become available for patrons. The use of the nickname system will be free. Eventually, it is planned that the nickname system will be integrated for use by trading members, but it will be costly for them to use.
Join / Leave Messages- Planned for Tier 1 and above
The join and leave message system was reworked to avoid collisions with gamemodes join/leave and will be reintroduced as part of the Patreon perks.
Credits- Planned for Tier 1 and above
While credits remain a currency, they will also be added as part of the Patreon tiers so that patrons may make use of them as another perk.
Polls - Planned for Tier 2 and above
For patrons who contribute as part of Tier 2 or above, there will be monthly polls that allow patrons to direct attention for development towards the dimensions they enjoy in particular. The polls may be extended to further include votes on highly voted suggestions as a way to fast-track suggestions that patrons want to support as part of their contribution.
Private / Custom Lobbies - Planned for Tier 2 and above
You’ll be able to create private and custom lobbies. Private lobbies are lobbies which only those you invite can join. Custom lobbies are those which not only are invite-only, but you also get to change settings like health. This will be available for all Gamemodes, not just Zombies. It is important that the tier tied with this particular perk has a high enough payment as this is one of the few perks that will take up physical server resources to make use of.
Zombies Abilities - Planned for Tier 2 and above
Necromancer, Astral Projection and Reverent are three zombies abilities that are releasing in the near future. It is likely that with new Gamemodes we will be seeking to provide something similar in those modes for those who do not play Zombies often.
