/ Vcaccept Syntax?

[Mbando]

Is there a specific syntax for /vcaccept? People from our settlement are applying, but neither the GUI nor "/vcaccept" shows any applicants. Is it something like "/vcaccept, <name>" or like?

[Dazyk]

Just /vcaccept.

The accept-er should see a message in the chat "You have been accepted to the company" or some such.

We were noticing some buggy things with company utility the other day, so that may explain some of your issues.

Edit to add:

Player clicks "Apply" button in company window
Leader must accept the invitation (in invitation tab)
Then player types /vcaccept

Hmmm.... It isn't that the person who applies also has to be online when the leader accepts, is it? Cause that would be some poorly designed mechanics.

[Dazyk]

That's a good question. Not sure what the answer is on this one.

Please let me know if this is not working as intended. The sooner we know the sooner we can troubleshoot.

No, you do not have to be on-line to be accepted for membership.

You should not have to do anything if you apply for membership via the GUI and the leader of the company accepts the application. /vcaccept should only be necessary if a company leader uses /vcinvite to ask you to join.

I don't think the GUI is working. We've had people apply to the settlement, get the "You have applied" message, but when I look at the applications tab there's nothing.

I was able to accept a couple of folks Saturday without problem.

/vcaccept is something the person joining types only after the inviter has issued a /vcinvite. There's a possibility that issuing a /vcinvite after they've applied will accept them, since I think it's just a matter of there being acknowledgement from both sides.

I did notice there was often a delay after the application before they showed up as an applicant, but that was not more than a minute or so. I assume you've clicked the Refresh button, and done a new Search.

Here is something related but different. I am playing a toon that is in "Ozem' Vigil". Someone came online and must have hit the "Apply" button. The GUI interface opened on its own on my screen. I am not the officer, just a member. It opened to show that there was an applicant.

Ryan:
I tested this last night/this morning, and it appears that application/acceptance must be synchronous.

-I logged on an unaffiliated alt, applied to OV through the GUI, and immediately logged out/logged in my leader character. Brought up the company GUI, and the application was there, and I was able to accept it. Worked as intended.

-I logged on an unaffiliated alt, applied to OV through the GUI, and immediately logged out overnight. The next morning (8-9 hours later)I logged in my leader character. Brought up the company GUI, and the application was not there. Not working as intended.

Was this after daily reset, by any chance? I wonder whether applications carry past that boundary.

[Mbando]

Was there a reset this morning? If so, maybe that's it.

[Ryan Dancey]

Ok I'll make sure this gets investigated. Thanks so much for the clear repro case.

A little more testing:

-This is not related to server resets. Currently, /vcinvites only last about an hour.

-I have been logging in, inviting an alt, checking to make sure the invite shows in the Company GUI, and then logging back in at later times: first 4 hours later, then 1 hour, then 1/2 an hour.

-At the 1/2 hour mark the invite still showed, but 1 hour+ the invites disappear.

This has all been during the EST day on Sunday, AFTER server maintenance.
