 GoTA Monthly

Report for July 2015



G'day Wikians!

Seems like our monthly report has been somewhat less monthly than I would like, so I thought I'd give it a little push.

Game of Thrones Ascent on iPhone turned one year old! That is indeed cause for celebration, so the good guys at Disruptor Beam decided to give us all a little present. King's Gift #71 will be available for a good long while, so everyone has a chance to take it.

 Breaking News! In the most recent blog post, Nod has just announced a new step in dragons evolution, Adolescent Dragon! And the best part is, this isn't some teaser we'll be dreaming about for the next few weeks or even months. They become available in the next weeks build. So get those anvils ready and start preparing for the most challenging craft of your life.

"Adolescent Dragons are at the same stage of life as Daenerys' dragons at the end of Game of Thrones Season Five. Much larger than a person, they are able to fly and breathe fire down on their enemies. Like Drogon, they are deadly beasts capable of extreme violence, and evolving your dragons into an Adolescent Dragon is the culmination of dragon crafting - at least for now."

 Game News With Season 5 well behind us, Game Devs decided to take this opportunity to dig into 2 other big areas of the game.

First is Breaking Ties, an original volume we've gotten used to during series' season breaks. Your fealty is weak, which means there’s no oversight as you wreak your vengeance against rivals from your past, annex their holdings, and build yourself into the greatest power in your area.

The second one is complete overhaul of the Alliance vs Alliance system. There is no ETA on the AvA as of yet, but recently they released some teasers about it.

However, while we wait they are running a series of Weekly Events to keep us busy.

 Wikia News A lot has been done on our Wiki for the last few months. But if I had to point out one thing, it would have to be the outstanding work that GhostWolfe and Perfectvelvet did on Tales of Ice and Fire pages.

With a new tale coming out every week, they haven't failed to update those pages with new information.

 Weekly Events Since AvA has been on hiatus, we have seen quite a few Weekly Events so far. I created a poll to see which of those events you enjoyed the most. If we have a clear favourite, perheaps DB would be willing to repeat that event once more. If not, at least they might have an idea of what type of events we šrefer, and maybe create a new one in a similar fashion.

So go ahead and cast your vote. The poll will be running during august, results will be in for the next monthly report.

 We need your help! With redesigned AvA system (hopefully) just around the corner, and still lots of unresolved issues regarding existing content, we need your help possibly more than ever.

Below is the list of high importance projects that need to be finished:
 * Breaking Ties Quests, Storylines and Chapters, as they are released
 * Shop Packs are missing Nav Bar
 * Some bonus quests still have old difficulty format
 * Pages that require Disambiguation
 * List of Quests needs to be redesigned, possibly with automatic updating

 Contributor of the Month We need to discuss the continuation of Contributor of the Month rewards. Raz said it's been difficult to find them before, when we had quite a bit more new contributors coming to our aid. Ultimately it's not my decision to make.

 Wiki Gnome Gorth Winding has been leaving a mark on this wikia for a long time. He joined all the way back in August 2013, but most of the hard work started during the last few months.

It is this hard work and willingness to take initiative with new pages which is why he's been given the "pointy hat" of a Wiki Gnome.

 Wikia Stats They discontinued traffic reports for wikia pages (or maybe I don't know how to access them), so the following stats is all I can get you.

For those that don't know, WAM is the Ranking system that Wikia use to Rank all of their Wikis based on how "healthy" a Wiki is. The lower the number the better. New Users, new pages, traffic to the Wiki all help determine a Wiki's Ranking

 Most Visited Pages The following were the Top Ten most visited pages this month: Dragon Skull is a bit unusual at first glance, but when you look at King's Gifts, you will notice it's one of DB's latest gifts for us players, a permanent peerless companion, which attracts quite alot of attention even here on wikia.
 * 1) Free Stuff
 * 2) Reincarnation
 * 3) Sworn Swords
 * 4) Sacrifice
 * 5) Quickening the Dragon Egg
 * 6) Valyrian Glyphs
 * 7) Superior Items
 * 8) Hints and Tips
 * 9) Dragon Skull
 * 10) List of Quests
 * 11) Player to Player Actions

The rest of the pages are regulars on the top list, always hovering in the top 20 and just shuffling around a bit to appear in the top 10 list.

That's all from me for now. A big thank you to everyone that has helped contribute to this Wiki this month. You all help to make this Wiki what it is.

Please do leave a comment below if you have any thoughts relating to any aspects of this report. If nothing else, it's nice to know people read these things.
