Battlestar Galactica Online - Game Release Jammer Update

29 June 2012

With our Jammer Release, we bring to you the initial groundwork of our wing system changes. In order to support the types of changed we want to do in the future, the entire wing system needed to be re-architected from scratch. As such, many of the wing-related updates in this release may not seem very interesting, but they were necessary steps that will allow us to move forward.

WING SYSTEM

The underlying wing system has been complete re-architected. While much of that re-architecture will not be outwardly visible, there were a handful of items that can be seen.

• Wing names will now display over a player. This can be toggled on and off.

• New wings will names will be restricted to a maximum of 30 characters.

• Wings that have no members have been removed from the database. Names associated with these types of wing are now freed for use.

• Fixed an issue where players could accidentally promote other players to Wing Leader. Wings may only have one Wing Leader.

• Fixed an issue that would allow players to join a nameless wing.

• Wings are now capped at 1000 members.

• Wing rosters will now correctly update when members appear online.

• Players must now be invited to join a Wing. They will not be able to join on their own.

• Members of a wing will be correctly notified when other members of their wing logs in or out.

• Fixed a wing rank issue for wing leaderboards.
• Fixed an issue where a wing was created when a player failed to join another wing.

INTERFACE

• Center screen messages and alerts may not be toggled on or off.
  • The toggle may be found in the Options window (O).
