[0.2] Interview with Logman79
Although he’s been hiding in the shadows for a while by writing a lot of our newsletter articles, I figured it was finally time to do an interview with log.
>How long have you been in WIJ? I’ve been in WIJ since its creation, give or take a few times when I tried to leave but rejoined because of the power of the waja. I was actually in SSCORP before WIJ existed and switched over to WIJ after SSCORP was shut down. >How long were you an officer before being a major? Currently I've been an officer since 2014, I was an officer prior to that but I left WIJ for a short time. >Can you tell me about your new job as consul secretary? Basically I’m the alliance guy- VG5, Consul general, is pretty inactive so I'm pretty much filling in for him. I do joint events with allies and 'diplomatic discussions' when needed. In other words if you need anything ally wise, I’m your guy. >Do you have any plans as major or consul secretary? I don't really have any specific plans; I’m gonna hang around and help WIJ with stuff, hold events, and do the same officer stuff I’ve been doing since forever. As far as consul goes, I’m open to looking at other clans for possible alliances but I certainly don't have anything planned out except for lots of practice raids at Indigo with our current allies. >Do you have any advice for people looking to be an officer? Keep being you, perform well, be active and helpful and eventually you will get recognized and progress to the officer ranks. Don't try and fake your personality just to look good, we'd rather have a person who is actually bad at something and admits it than someone who fakes being good but really has no clue what they're doing. >What's your opinion on the current state of WIJ/do you think it's improved since w3? WIJ has definitely improved since W3. At the time it was released W3 was at the top of its class but times have changed since then and WIJ has, sometimes more slowly than others, adapted to those changes and kept our spot at the top of the superclan tech and community. I really hope the current activity in WIJ continues because it's awesome to be back with so many veterans and new members; community is a huge part of WIJ and I missed it more than I realized during our slumber. >How do you like wACE, do you think this'll open up a new era of activity for us? I think wACE is great; it restores WIJ’s position as the superclan with the most cutting edge tech and its a new, totally fun combat experience for everyone who uses it. I can’t imagine activity dying any time soon, wACE is and always will be fun and when it starts getting boring, like wARC did, there will most likely be something else new to keep everyone entertained.

[0.3] Success of wACE so far
We all can agree that the new wACE engine is awesome- it brings a lot of new aspects to combat and is very enjoyable to play, but what else are people thinking about it? I asked members of WIJ as well as Indigo raiders to find out their most and least favorite aspects of wACE. In general, you all seem to love the new weapons and combat aspects like grenades, abilities and perks. Faster paced combat and cleaner animations make combat ever-changing and completely immersive. The general least favorite thing is the camera restriction on zooming out and grenades. Although grenades are also a positive, they sometimes get annoying because they are incredibly powerfully if used correctly. This has led fighters to completely change their tactics to avoid getting killed by grenades. All in all, wACE continues to be modified with changes in weapon damages and other features to make it an even more enjoyable playing experience for everyone. Lets face it- wACE set the stage for an awesome new tech system, and its not really possible to ruin it at this point!

[0.4] What’s next for wACE?
After the release of wACE and the updates to Indigo II, a lot of people have been wondering about what we’re doing next. I recently spoke with Voile, who provided some details on what we’ll be seeing in the future.
> Cityscape Cityscape is the current WIJ project - quite simply, this is an entirely new base set in, you guessed it, a city. For those of you who know what WIJ Metro is, please keep in mind that this is not Metro; it’s an entirely new base. All we know about this right now is that there will be no vehicles, it’ll have a domination point raid system, and it’s a small/medium base with plenty of paths.
> Cerulean II For a while, people were saying that Cerulean II was scrapped. This isn’t entirely true; it was decided that Cerulean II needed a redesign to ensure a fair raiding experience, and thus it was decided that, rather than releasing it with wACE, it would be released later. We’re not expecting Cerulean II terribly soon; it’ll be released after Cityscape is finished.
One thing we do know about Cerulean II, however, is that it does have vehicles. Stay tuned for more information on the vehicles that we’ll be seeing!
> Battleground We’ll be seeing the return of an official training area. However, rather than being a holographic style training area, such as Sinopia, this will be a battleground. The estimated release date for this is currently unknown.
> Game hub Each of these three places, along with a new version of the A2 rally grounds and Indigo II, will be connected to a game hub, allowing easy transport between each place.

[0.5] Meet the Guy- Destroyer97
This edition features long-time WIJ veteran Destroyer97.
>>How long have you been in WIJ? >”I've been in WIJ for 5 years. It's been a ride going through multiple generations from the original Indigo to Cerulean to Vermillion to wARC Indigo II and finally to wACE Indigo II. Throughout my time here, I've seen many come and go, but I have several close friends who have stuck by me and the waja for many years.” >>What divisions are you in and what makes them fun? >”I'm an Ops Chief in the Shock Troopers and a Sable Consultant. The ST division is fun because you meet and raid with a lot of skilled people, and the community is hilariously entertaining.... yeah. Sable is fun because you can collaborate with other designers in WIJ, working on awesome projects like wACE, games, and training/rally facilities.” >>What are your plans as a new Captain; how do you feel about your promotion? >”When I saw the post announcing wACE, the new ranks, and promotions, I was really excited for the opportunity to take a larger role in this group that I've been a part of for a while. I'm looking forward to this new era that wACE will bring for WIJ, and I hope to help organize a war in the near future. I've always been involved with WIJ's great community, and I'll be stepping it up in this new position to push WIJ through the barriers of our past inactivity and into the glorious future. I'll also continue to host raids and trainings, and I'll also be seeking out and assisting low ranks interested in advancing their career in the corporation going forward.” >>How do you feel about the new tech and activity revival? >”As ROBLOX has advanced over the years, so to has the effectiveness and efficiency of our infrastructure and tech design. Voile and our Sable employees have been working diligently the past year to crank out wACE and iron out bugs in these first weeks of deployment. I'm really enjoying this new tech. The visuals, sound effects, and amount of content and detail put into the remastered Indigo II is impressive to say the least, and it's great to see many inactive officers and other esteemed community members (like StevenIV) return from their slumber to be a part of this momentous occasion. I'm certain that this activity spike will carry through next year at the very least, and even further.” >>Favorite thing about WIJ? >”I'd have to say my favorite thing about WIJ is the community. I can't say that it's perfect, but when you get to know core people like many Sergeants and Lieutenants+, it becomes a really tight-knit, meme-filled family of hilariousness. In fact, our community is what kept us alive through the past year of inactivity. The wall stayed active with several posts per day, and the shock trooper chatroom, literally, never sees a day without multiple people discussing important Blox Strategy Maneuver Tactics and other games.” >>One thing people should know about you, WIJ related or not? >“One interesting fact about me is I play virtual piano, a computerized version of the real piano where you type the letters (notes) that you read to play it. Before you roast me, I'm also taking real piano lessons and I played violin since 5th grade, so there's that. I'm also an Edgy Meme Lord and a Top Gunfighter on da Blox... ayy lmoa.”

Wow, WIJ is making a city now? I've been working on a city for about a month now for a clan I'm starting. GJ WIJ for copying me. Actually, my old clan had grenades and equipment back in early '13, so technically WIJ is the unoriginal one here...
Expect us. -Trident Contingency |
